Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the First Crusade continues with the aftermath of the battle of Manzikert of 1071 ( • First Crusade: Battle ... ) where the Eastern Roman Empire's army led by Romanos was defeated by the Seljuk army of Alp Arslan and the battles of Zombos Bridge and Kalavrye ( • First Crusade - Rise o... ), which brought Alexios I and his Komnenos dynasty to the Byzantine throne. Our previous episode talked about the partition of the Seljuk Empire ( • First Crusade: Partiti... ), while this one will talk about Pope Urban II and his call to Crusade, which sparked the People's and Prince's Crusade.

this pope was 100% trash.
Spanish traslación please
"The Crusaders almost certainly stunk to high heaven"
Divinely plugged.
This episode was a banger. Pope Urban II really had a MASSIVE influence on history
Thank you!
he toured lower france like a rock star
and that influence would be???
Yes, Pope Urban did have a massive influence on history, but so did Stalin, in addition to Oppenheimer and those who helped create the nuclear bomb. Popes proclaimed, "We must SLAUGHTER all the men, women and children that don't COMPLETELY agree with every aspect of OUR religious beliefs". Wonder what Jesus would have said.
@@williamrobert9898 to influence tens of thousands of soldiers to upend their lives and travel thousands of miles to fight an unknown (to them) peoples? Not to mention that the first crusade was the justication for future crusades.
I was under the impression Alexios Komnenos wasn't expecting the huge number of people which arrived for the crusade. This video makes it seem like he was in on the plan from the start. I wonder which is correct.
I believe he asked just for a few knights.
One of the many misconceptions, resulted from some scholars writing based on the Latin sources alone. As this series goes forward this notion will be fully debunked.
@@KingsandGenerals Looking forward to it. Keep up the good work.
It was his plan to begin with. That said, he WAS surprised by the huge number of disorganized peasant mobs ransacking their way through his territory ahead of the real crusading army. Definitely wasn't expecting that to happen. He was also mildly surprised by how fractious the real Crusaders were and wasn't too happy with the amount of bribe they demanded to leave HIS city well enough alone.
Urban II's own letter to the Flemish confirms that he granted "remission of all their sins" to those undertaking the enterprise to liberate the eastern churches.[9] One notable contrast with the speeches recorded by Robert the Monk, Guibert of Nogent, and Baldric of Dol is the lesser emphasis on Jerusalem itself, which Urban only once mentions as his own focus of concern. In the letter to the Flemish he writes, "they [the Turks] have seized the Holy City of Christ, embellished by his passion and resurrection, and blasphemy to say-have sold her and her churches into abominable slavery." In the letters to Bologna and Vallombrosa he refers to the crusaders' desire to set out for Jerusalem rather than to his own desire that Jerusalem be freed from Muslim rule. It was believed that originally that Urban wanted to send a relatively small force to aid the Byzantines, however after meeting with two prominent members of the crusades Adhemar of Puy and Raymond of Saint-Guilles, Urban decided to rally a much larger force to retake Jerusalem.[31] Urban II refers to liberating the church as a whole or the eastern churches generally rather than to reconquering Jerusalem itself. The phrases used are "churches of God in the eastern region" and "the eastern churches" (to the Flemish), "liberation of the Church" (to Bologna), "liberating Christianity [Lat. Christianitatis]" (to Vallombrosa), and "the Asian church" (to the Catalan counts). Coincidentally or not, Fulcher of Chartres's version of Urban's speech makes no explicit reference to Jerusalem. Rather it more generally refers to aiding the crusaders' Christian "brothers of the eastern shore," and to their loss of Asia Minor to the Turks.[32]
While you make some fantastic points, the truth is that this remission of sins extended to all confessed and former sins. The Pope was clear in his directions that new sins or any undisciplined acts would still count as sins, compared to some of the advanced indulgences later on.
A good attempt to try to divide Muslims into Turks, Arabs, Berbers and Kurds. Unfortunately, your Pope was not smart and called us Mohammedans.
@@Nasser_b But they are
@@chadsupporter4093 I said we (Muslims) and completed my sentence from our point of view.
@@chadsupporter4093 Read a book (kitab al-i'tibar) available for free and translated.
In this book, Ibn Munqith who that all his family members died in an earthquake, only he survived because he was outside the city. Then he organized for good and became one of the leaders of Salah al-Din's army, And the book depicts his dealings and meetings with the Crusaders in a time of peace. I advise you to read it.
Since muslims generally don't drink alcohol, having a state called "Sultanate of Rum" is really an historical curiosity😅
Ba dum tss!
@@darkorodic638 rum means Rome in Arabic
@@abdurahman90982 why is the rum gone?
@@abdurahman90982 Sarcasm, genius.
Muslims don't drink alcohol? Bruh, the most famous poem of Abu Nuwas is about wine and let me tell you, Muslims where I live drink no more or less then us Christians.
You could say the Pope's speech has become something of an urban legend.
I'll see myself out...
Ngl that was pretty good
why did i laugh
You bastard.😅
No no come back. Give us more...

Never thought massing a crusade would be so hard and have a complex system! The march of the crusade too would be interesting. Continue with the great videos :)
Logistics nightmare.
@@chadsupporter4093 Chad Supporter ? is this a joke ? what a loser.
Logistics really was a massive part of this endeavor and our videos will soon cover that part of the crusade and shine a light on how difficult it was to move 100 000 people through difficult terrain and climate.
@@KingsandGenerals will you choose the army of holy roman kaiser frederick barbarossa in the 3rd crusade? there is a good book from an eyewitness who seems close circle of frederick barbarossa. interesting imo.
@@Zeerich-yx9po That's were Raymond IV, Bohemond, Godfrey and Baldwin comes in there fame, rank's and military experience is what kept the whole thing together until the very end were there greed stared to take over
At the end of his speech i was ready to take the cross and take back Jerusalem, and I'm not even Christian 😂
(Also pope said turks are a race of persians, i think that alone could spark a huge civil war in the east lol)
And then you imagine he speak that in Latin, with epic movie speech
🤣🤣🤣
@@ahmadniam3568 that would absolutely blow my mind 😂 (and god, i wanna find a time machine, go there, just to shout deus vult at the end of his speech)
It’s a really good speech lol
“The sorrowful will be glad there, the poor will be rich there, and the enemies of the Lord will be His friends there.”
Fun fact
During the middle ages, being literate meant knowing how to write and read IN LATIN. Even thow most people knew how to read and write in their local language (letters written by commoners were found across Europe), they were still considered to be illiterate because they didn't know latin.
@@Zeerich-yx9po No, not really. There is proof. Plenty of it. While it is true, there were no state schools for the common people, it wasn't uncommon for parents to teach their own kids (as well as they themselves knew of course) or for monks or other scholars to teach young girls and boys how to read and write in their local language (among other, artistic proof is present). When it comes to "what and why would they read" the anwser is simple. Books dedicated for both scholarly work and common people were not super rare ( yes, not as common as these days... but still... there were some...) such as The Travels of Sir John Mandeville. Writers such as Bate the Venerable (c. 673-735) is known amongst others to make writings of science and theology for universities, churches AND common people (those being anglo saxons). And also Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) made reading accesibile for the italians that lived in his region (he wrote in Tuscan many works). Why thow? Why would they read? So that they could comunicate by letters and also because people loved reading. Ok so you might say "Yes but did they have time to learn? If they had to work the field, would they have time?" Well,yes, because they usually learned this stuff when they were young and didn't have so much work to do. Some mabye forgot, but i mean, they probably had to write letters to other people regulary and forgeting this would require a long time of not doing it.
So! In conclusion, there is proof that a very large percentage of the population knew how to read and a smaller but not really small percentage of people knew how to write but we have to admit that way more people know how to read and write today (because obviously).
It was even an official language in Hungary still the 1840's...
interestin
I am from Clermont.
We have a big place near the cathedral Saint Joseph with a beautiful statue of Urbain II.
But the historical concile was not in front of the cathedral (in this time she didn’t exist yet).
It was near a hold Roman church (Xe century) named Notre Dame du Port.
That's interesting. Thank you.
In Bordeaux, our cathedral was pronounced as such when Urban II came to the city calling for the crusade in 1096, nice to know more about this.
I assign his speech to my students. There are so many ideas in it to dissect. Some of the motivation he uses are direct others more subtle
Nice to know more about what started the First Crusade. Some people might be a little disappointed that the Pope's actual speech went differently. But I'm fine with that. As long as it's the truth. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
Thank you for your kind words and support!
@@KingsandGenerals---Your welcome. I love your video's. They're awesome to watch.
@@brokenbridge6316me too, I'm going to introduce this channel to my former history classmate
I have a midterms in my Crusades course in a couple of weeks this is perfect timing thank you
Glad to be of service!
There was a documentary back in the day called crusades crescent and the cross which I thought was decent. I am grateful for RUclips channels like this though that go into much more detail and also how you guys always do the prelude and to put the conflicts into context on both sides and put a lot of details into them. It really makes it worthwhile and you guys do history from all over the world and all time periods which is great.
Wow such a fantastic job covering this wild topic, seriously well done
The quality, scripts and historical background of this video (and the prior Anthony Octavian Lepidus) is awesome
Great documentary, thank you Kings and Generals Team!
Brilliant piece of documentary work.
Great video! Much attention is focused on the great battles and the leading figures but the movement underpinning the Crusades is often ignored. ✝⚔🏹
I normally despise advertisements, but in this case, it was perfect. The segue into it was well timed and comical, and the product was befitting the story. Well DONE!
Thanks!
I am well please to watch all of your videos, great kuddos👏👏👏 I learn a lot of things here as well many significant events
Love from the Philippines
great video!! well done!! very interesting!!!
For me without a doubt one of, if not your best episode so far. ❤
I love this episode, put yourselves in the shoes of the young and impassioned Christian populace of western and Eastern Europe, you’re promised honor and glory for your fight against a force which you have been led to believe is diametrically opposed to you and your ancestors’ foundation. You believe that by partaking in this grand journey you will fulfill a greater purpose than simply meeting your own needs. Your heart is filled with a race of desire for blood and steel, you think of the glory this would bring unto your people and the blooming indulgences that would come of such a passage. Of course you pick up the sword and bear your cross. And you embark on the journey of a lifetime. It’s incredible to think about. Really it is. I won’t sit to say that bloodshed and conflict with all the destruction that follows it is a good thing, but one must admit that the prospect of such an endeavor is an attractive one, and it goes to highlight the importance of unity, and honor in a population to simply do what is bold, and difficult, not what is easy.
Best comment. Would you embark on the journey if you were a man of the time?
Excellent Work as always!
Thanks for bringing wisdom and enlightenment to the world during these times....
Much appreciated
The background music was excellent
Hands down the best intro to an add ever.
That was great, looking forward to the rest of the First Crusade, a truly epic journey. I hope each part of the story is detailed to the fullest extent because of the many obstacles that were overcome especially the attempted relief of Nicaea by the Turks, Doryleaum, and the three epic battles around Antioch. Then, I hope the key battles within the established Kingdom of Jerusalem are covered such as Montisgard, Field of Blood (Ager Sanguinis), Jacobs Ford, etc. A most fascinating time in history.
i am very surprised by the fact that Alexios had such a good collaboration with the Pope with the schism of the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic Churc so recent in their lives[less than 50 years]
So did I.
At this time, much of Italy is still fairly close to Byzantium diplomatically, so it's less odd than it appears.
From this point on though, the Italian merchant republics continue gaining power, and the Byzantine Empire starts clearly losing it, so relations becoming increasingly strained.
Urban was trying to mend the schism, and Alexios was desperate for help, so it was a good offer for both parties
“The schism” makes it sound like the separation between east and west was a shock, but it actually was a century long proces. Relations between east and west had started to deteriorate from the moment the western Roman Empire fell. With the schism the relations between east and west reached a new depth as they excommunicated each other.
It is funny how most people didn't even know the role of the Byzantine Empire during the First Crusade
I would love to see more videos on popes who impacted the world for better or worse! They're pretty interesting people and I don't hear much about most popes say for a few like innocent or francis .
Hey kings and generals, great video as usual. I have a video request to make, can you make a video on the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the treaties that followed and their effect on the modern world?
The treaty of Sevres, of sykes and picot and the balfour declaration.
I live in the uk and we are taught world war 1 but only from German English french perspective. We are not taught in depth about the Ottoman Empire or the austro-Hungarians. We know how versaille provoked the Germans to start another war but could you go into details about the Austro-Hungarian and ottoman situation?
I think you can rest reassured. K&G is hellbent on East Rome and the Ottomans in each of their ages. Step by step, we will see every period and important detail of both. And I am all for it, for the record.
@@Kaiyanwang82 Yeah you’re right I just wanted to make the comment so they knew there was demand for it.
@@user-de7nw8kd4r Maybe we will see the.. before BEFORE. As an example, we have seen Mithridates but what about going even further back, and see more about Hittites?
LOL the guy sleeping during the popes speech! So many reasons I love this channel.
Pope Urban Name Will Never Be Forgetten In History
Fun Facts: If the Byzantines/Eastern Romans won at the Battle of Manzikert, then the Seljuks would not get Anatolia in their empire… and would’ve been forced back to Persia to migrate & settle there instead, then they would’ve been killed off later on by the arriving Mongols in their vengeance campaign… due to the robbing and murder of their trade caravans & emissaries by local officials.
No Turks… means no crusades, less violence between East and West, means less violence in that region, means fewer holy wars & more trade instead… and no 4th crusade… if the Byzantines were able to deal with all the corrupt officials, nobles and rivals in their society & army.
No 4th crusade… no weakened Eastern Roman Empire, means no Ottomans… means no closed silk road, means no Christopher Columbus… which means that the colonial period would not have happened, thanks a lot Turks & Venice… you messed everything up!
Without the crusades, Turks & disunity occurring with the empire… the Byzantines with a renewed strong military + economy and leadership may have been able to take back all the Eastern Roman empire’s providences in the east by the late 17th century, or even sooner.
Even if the crusades still happened without the loss at Manzikert & no call for help by the emperor in retaking assistance of their lands… and a strong Byzantine state still being mostly intact & stable, it would’ve taken many more years or decades extra to come about… or fighting among themselves instead & against the remaining pagan kingdoms of Europe, or even against the Byzantines on their way to Jerusalem or later on as rival states in the region afterwards.
And even with the colonial period still eventfully happening, it would’ve taken several more centuries to fully occur… due to the trade with India still being open for all European merchants to access for silks & spices and many other things, thanks to the Byzantine empire still being around & open for business.
Because no one would need to go elsewhere to find new trade routes & lands for markets in new money, which would lead to the Americas… because it’s closer to home by going to West Asia in the East instead.
And even if the Byzantine Eastern Roman Empire still fell… it would not be until the 17th or 19th century at the latest, during the Napoleonic era… or reform into Eastern Rome as a constitutional republic instead, like the USA or France did in their revolutions… and then Greece would be far better off than what it is today.
Mongol will rule if turks not won.
So true
Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job
Thank you! Will do!
Urban:
Battle Pope power activate!
Crusaders: Woah!
Help me clear up some misconceptions. So did Alexios Komnenos plan this all out or was he just wanting to get some loyal high quality mercenaries for his campaigns to reconquer Anatolia? Was he trying to make closer ties to the west? How does he fit in this exactly?
I think the answer is yes to everything you mentioned
Interesting At least you learn something at the end of this Video... Would there be any Videos of the conflict that happened in Bosnia 🇧🇦
I do think that Alexios knew an army was coming but I believe the size was what surprised him. Much respect to him for ruling in such a troubled time for Eastern Rome.
Really nice animation different from the previous ones.
Just absolutely love the Crusades series !
Thank you for your support!
Hope you soon can do a series of the Spanish Reconquista.
Hooray for Kings and Generals.
I suggest that people look up the speech recorded by Robert the monk. The version that he presented was by far more impactful listening to it and also sounded far more articulate than that of the one presented here which is quite impressive, to say the least.
hello sir,
i remember i’ve read about a strategic fear of a possible scenario of invasion europe by ussr after ww2. The debate was about à geographically vulnerable weak area « not sure if it’s in germany borders or poland » and i remember seeing some plans or maps made by westpoint of possible attacks scenarios. Do you by any chance know about this? i can’t remember the name of the area or anything. thank you
I think Pope Rural would've done a much better job handling the situation.
Rural the first 😂
Christian here and I love stories like this
The Byzantines asked the Pope for help in their fight against their common enemy: the Muslim Turks who had recently conquered large swaths of land in the Anatolian Peninsula. The Pope saw it as a opportunity to unite the Catholic and Orthodox churches under him and answered the plea of the Eastern Roman Empire. Pope asked the nobles from all of Europe to march into Jerusalem and liberate it from the Muslims who held it for more than four centuries.
Absolutely amazing!
Saddest thing about the first crusade was that urban ii died before news of Jerusalem capture reached him
A second Moses.
Excelente! 🤝🏼🔥
😮
Another one to enjoy with coffee
Loving the art especially in the pope's speech
You will do Crusade of 1101 and second crusade too right also seventh crusade?
I heard in an “extra history” episode the vernacular “taking the cross” did not appear until the third crusade is that true?
bruh you just taught me a new word, thanks.
And Yes to your question, it happened to the Arabic language too around the same time.
Even the term Crusade was said later in history. In the video he talks about an armed pilgrimage and it's really accurate. The word crusade was not even existing at that time I think.
That segue into the commercial 😁
Alexios hoped that the Crusades would help him in restoring the Eastern Roman Empire.
However, looking at the Fourth Crusade and its aftermath, it can be argued that the Crusades did more damage to the Byzantines than the Turks during this period. Ironically, Constantinople would fall at the hands of Catholics sooner than it did at the hands of the Turks.
Dandolo did nothing wrong.
Facts
constantinople fell to those they just massacred in their town.
They literally asked for it when they massacred the merchants.
@@ikipemiko We will survive throughout the ages thanks to technology don't worry. Our city, which is unique in the world, will not perish. Pax tibi Marce, evangelista meus. Long live the Republic and go to hell
The Genoese stood for Constantinople at the very end.
The ERE lost its power because of too much civil wars. Must be a Hellenic heritage the Romans incorporated...

Now we need a Part 3 of the Macedonian reconquista and episodes of the Komnenos dynasty
KnG should do fictional video game channel with the same style of commentary. I could watch this for StarCraft, Warcraft, LOTR
Good video
Excellent 👌
love the new crusader kings 3 theme and also soundtracks of the game
If you guys wrote books, I'd buy them :)
I love The vid😁
I always forget how all this happened almost immediately after Stamford Bridge and Hastings. I wonder if the willingness to wage a Crusade was at all related to the end of Viking raids.
I really suggest you check professor Alessandro Barbero's videos about the Medieval times.😉
The First Crusade was a success for the Christians: the Crusaders retook all of Palestine, including Jerusalem from the Muslims, while the Eastern Romans successfully recapture the entirety of Western Asia Minor. The Crusader states would continue to exist for at least two hundred years until the Fall of Acre in 1291 by the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt and Syria.
Surprisingly good job. Usually secular historians have quite an animus against the Crusader.
You mean “white nationalists think the crusades were good actually and are uncomfortable with the facts about it, so they accuse everyone who espouse anything but uncritical praise of it as being biased.”
Because it's the antithesis of what a (Western) secular mindset may like to hear. Christians coming together militarily to combat false belief does not jive well with atheists who don't believe in truth and reject the idea of a Christian state to begin with.
12:03 It's worth noting that he meant the lands of the Eastern Roman Empire as "Romania" not the modern-day country with the same name.
Well, surely encouraging multitudes of people in unrestrained religious fervor to go to holy war, couldn't backfire in any way, could it?
Lol, that's justbs propaganda. Only the Muslim jihad had that.
@@acrxsls1766 Lol, the 4th crusade brought the Roman Byzantine empire to its knees, go look it up Heroes and Generals already made several videos about it, but since you're comment cannot be more wrong, I'll educate you since you're obviously uneducated and not a person of culture:
Crusade is Holy Christian War, you cannot even use the word linguistically in any context other than war.
Jihad means Struggle, Jihad is divided into two parts, the first part is the Jihad of Worship which is the Major one, which is the struggle of one's self, wealth, provision, property, etc, in God's path and for his pleasure to assist people and humanity and one's self to go to paradise, this part can be explained individually on each of its many levels. The second part is the minor jihad, which is the sacrifice of one's self in the path of God, to defend one's religion, wealth, self, family, etc, from attack and the word Defence here is key as it cannot be used to justify the acts of rogue individuals, who in most cases act on their arrogance and for worldly gain and not for God in anyway shape or form, that's why other Muslims do Jihad against such people.
Nah.
It'll be fine.
Why do you guys use the CKIII soundtrack as background music? It trips me out a bit.
Thanks
Please include Persian subtitles for all videos
CK3 music is honestly up there with Payday 2 and Halo
I enjoyed the episode, but the highlight was the Segway to the commercial. British humour at its best 😅
Let's remember that it happened shortly after the great schism. I wonder how on Earth the Orthodox Church remained separated from Rome while asking for the Pope's intervention.
@@DroknarsForge4198 even if that's true, the schism remains. And If it's causes are political, then we all deserve to go to hell for stupidity.
The Great Schism is a bit of a retrospective artefact.
No one took the ruckus in 1053 - 54 very seriously at the time.

12:40 There’s always one sleeper in the room 😆😴
It was the first eurogroup with pleading Greeks asking for help. Urban was Merkel of the day.
Yess
Fascinating how one man had the power to bring war
a "holy" war
It was hardly one man, but Urban truly was a master of marketing. who catalyzed the process.
That one man had the power to control 'the information space' during those times
I always wondered why the French king and a lot of monarchs didn't join the crusade and i see now. The French king was excommunicated and the other monarchs on other internal problems to deal with
I think Raymond count of Toulouse was richer than his French king, had a better army in number, equipment and experience. He had also maybe more power and influence thanks to his alliances and marriage with Spanish noble families.
And coïncidence, the South of France was a crusade target later in history. Crusade made by the French king against his own "vassals" lords because of the religious schism that occurred in South France (and the fact they were richer and still more powerful than him).
But I'm no historian it's only that I can remind from my history class and not even sure I'm correct.
now imagine 3rd crusade with barbarossa and phillip didn't die or back away from the crusaded
Not a single monarch joined the First Crusade. The King of France might have been excommunicated, but he sent his relative Stephen of Blois to hoist the Capetian banner in the Holy Land.
And so the gigantic mess begins.
So did Alexios not know the army was coming? Or what he merely surprised by it’s size? Hmm?
He only asked for 300 elite Western Knights to be hired as mercenaries or as volunteers to add to his 20,000 plus army and deploy them to certain regions of the conflict, for him to drive back the Turks and start the retaking of all of Anatolia... what he got instead was something he never imagined in his wildest dreams.
60,000 crusaders, and 40,000 followers... 100,000 people in total, and that's not including the recent peoples crusade that came before it not too long beforehand.
Emperor Alexios was furious... the crusader army that came onto his doorsteps = was large enough to launch an attack on his capital city of Constantinople... he could not afford to offend them, nor turn them away either = because the city defences at the time was only 15,000 men, and a few ships... from what I've researched.
So he had to play politics and negotiate a deal with all its leaders... if they helped him retake the western part of Anatolia on their way to Syria, and later Jerusalem... then during that whole time, he would supply their army with food and other precious supplies to support it all in market access.
Otherwise the crusaders on their own would suffer a lot more without their aid on the way there with minimum supplies = he knew that, and they knew it too.
They all agreed, and then the emperor had their forces shipped to the other side of the coast to begin their crusade along the way to Jerusalem through Anatolia.
But eventfully, a few betrayals from both sides led to their breakup by the time they reached Syria... long story, I know.
