Don't you just hate that historical dramas rarely stick to historical fact? Vikings, Kings War, The Last Kingdom, Razia Sultan, Resurrection Ertugrul etc.
Love the production on this video. This channel dispels so many myths about the period of the Crusades and medieval times. Love it. I need to buy "Why does the Heathen Rage" and read it before your next book. I enjoy well researched historical fiction.

We still have a statue of Roderico in the geographic center of Buenos Aires , mounted on Babieca ( Ironically on a neighbourhood called Little Horsie ) , a copy of the one in Sevilla and with stones coming from Vivar itself . Whenever I pass by it , I read the inscription : XIth Century , the Cid Campeador , incarnation of the heroism and chivalrous spirit of the race .Hispanic , Chivalrous and Christian .Rodrigo calls us to rise to a higher standard , be it by the Tizón , the pen or other means .
Really well made videos, in my country every student have to read at least once 'El cantar del mío Cid', this is applied to every Spanish speaking country. A truly inmortal heroe.
Thanks for your video. It is very interesting to know our past, the people who made Europe as it is. By the way, the photograph of my avatar is El Cid, an equestrian statue that is located in the city of Burgos, very close to where he was born.
How Asturias break out before El Cid? Sounds more interesting to be honest. Is more impressive to go from tiny mountain coastal kingdom to penetrating deeper inland.
Well I do address that in the video, I hope. Basically it was the combination of the Caliphate collapsing into a bunch of warring petty states, while Leon and Castile were united under Fernando I. Plus, the Christian north had been getting wealthier and stronger through increased trade and a growing population. Things lined up so that Fernando was suddenly in a position to impose his will on basically the whole of the Islamic south.
Because the moors actually naver managed to fully get control of the north, especially the north west. Plus Asturias had warriors from retiring armies and refugees. I think 10 or 15 years later the christians had pushed muslims south of the Douro river in the west, retaking the kingdom of galicia, which included today's galicia, northern portugal and some of the northwest of Castille and Leon that was then leagued with Asturias.
Agreed! Don Pelayo and the Duke of Cantabria and the second Gothic army - the Christian army of Hispano-Goths and Celtiberian highlanders - the Astures and Cantabros. The Christian Reconquista began within the first decade of the Moorish invasion with the Battle of Covadonga
Real Crusades History you show Asturias as being a slither of land along northern coast. Then next map it is bigger and broken into more than one kingdom. You don’t go in detail about that specifically
Channel has always been good, but the quality of these recent videos has been amazing, the new visuals tied in with narrations and voice acting. Great work!
Hey, Real Crusades History, I've got a question for you guys that has been bugging me for a really long time. What is the historically correct term for a female knight? Sometimes I hear them using the title "Lady", but I also hear the title of "Dame", so which one is the correct one, historically?
@@RealCrusadesHistory Thank you for the clarification. But that still leaves me wondering where the title of “Dame” comes from and how it was used historically. Could that be the topic of a future video on your channel, or is that a question you can easily answer here and now?
could you please do an update to your female warriors' video, I'm doing a college game design course and I'm working on a project where I'm designing a RPG setting and I wanted to demonstrate how men and woman fight differently but your old video doesn't feature any citations so I can't use it as evidence for my design choice.
this might be a dumb question, but ive always wondered what the history between the holy orders was like. how ofen did they fight together ? were relations good between them ? was there ever a man to fight with multiple holy orders ? i personally find holy orders of religons very interesting and the Christians in particular.
In the end, I wouldn't try to claim "greatest" for any particular hero from Spain's history. There are so many, and they're all great. But for this video at least, El Cid will be the greatest.
Contemporaries include William the Conqueror, Robert Guiscard, and Harold Hadrada. Be cool if those guys hung out once in a while.
Robert the Bruce,Richard I of England,Fredrick I Barbarossa?
Yeh those characters are later.

Just letting you know I enjoy your channel and the work you put into it!
Oh, yea never mind.
Love that movie but the equipment sometimes looks like it would be from 200 to 400 years to far in the future,
To whom does Calahorra belong?!

Historically accurate and wonderful edition. Congratulations, again, from a pleased follower of this fantastic chanel in Madrid.

El Cid, El Campeador, don't forget his second nickname.
This came out the day after I bought an el cid replica sword
Searches "el cid replica sword"
That's ... quite specific ...

The new voice feals a bit out of place, i would suggest maybe keeping it for dialogue ie you read the descriptive part, he reads the spoken one.
Bought the kindle version b/c of great amazon reviews and this great video! Looking forward to
your future videos!
Thank you from oregon during lock down ! great stuff !
I bought your book on kindle based on its reviews and this video! Next El Cid video
Please =)

Every time J. Stephens posts, we time travel. As always great work and I'm looking forward to your next novel!
Now that is great to hear!
Nicely done! Loving the total war clips ;)
New style videos are awesome. The old style videos are awesome but the new content is on another level. Great changes
Great work chaps. Looking forward to the rest.
Why dont you cover the Battle of Kosovo (1389). I think it would be interesting topic for some future video. Great channel btw.
Nice video 👏👏👏
loving seeing these game clips you are including now too

Love the music in the video

@@MbisonBalrog This is true, there was a gradual push south, and that will definitely be addressed in later videos.

He is my 38th Great grandfather, I’m very proud of him.
Same here.. are you from the lara clan..😀😀

Kevin Norwood There really were no female knights. But a lady would be the social equivalent of a knight.

Could you do a video on popular crusader age first and last names?
this might be a dumb question, but ive always wondered what the history between the holy orders was like. how ofen did they fight together ? were relations good between them ? was there ever a man to fight with multiple holy orders ? i personally find holy orders of religons very interesting and the Christians in particular.
first part makes me think of forges in fire weapon intro
except that Steven knows what he talk about unlike doug macarta.
Any chance you could do a video about how women coped during the crusades. .ie. jobs, roles, marriages ect.
He is hero of Spain
My last name is Rodrigues and I have a fantasy where I dream that Rodrigo is my ancestor lol
What’s the total war mod name
👍👍👍👍👍
I think Don Pelagius of Asturias and Queen Isabella I of Castile are probably better candidates for Spain’s greatest heroes.
Well, that is your opinion, by the way the names are Pelayo and Isabel.
Nice but I doubt he is the greatest hero of spain. Pizzaro is greater.
In the end, I wouldn't try to claim "greatest" for any particular hero from Spain's history. There are so many, and they're all great. But for this video at least, El Cid will be the greatest.
In Spain El Cid is way more recognized than Pizarro.
El Cid is our greatest hero.
