- Have you ever wondered how a crusade is organized? What about imagining a crusader council where vastly different personalities clash, as they each have a different vision on how it should be led?
Well in this episode, numerous voice actors, illustrations, skillful editing and enchanting music coalesces in an attempt to give you an answer to those questions.

We’re so back
its no longer joever
I love how there's a whole lot of explaining what's going on for people to learn history from, but the dialogue explaining it all is natural and makes sense in-story. Kudos to the writers.
Thank you for the high praise, a lot of thought went into this. Not just what is being said, but how and who says it!
I'm so excited for a fourth crusade that leaves Rome alone
Love the very accurate map of there time
This series deserves 100x the views it currently has!
He really should have kept the series on the main channel. The youtube algorithm is practically making this channel invisible. 😞
We hope to get there one day, with the support of people like you :)
@@Jack-0-lantern As long as there are people like you commenting for the algorithm gods we have a chance :D
This series is very nice, yet, for someone who both lacks overall knowledge of the historical events that this alt-history diverges from, and the now ignited curiosity to learn more, I would appreciate having some snippets or a separate video explaining the major differences between history and this nice alt one. Like, I'm aware that this is an alt-history of the fourth crusade but, what happened to the main leaders historically?
Not only is this a great idea, but it is one in the making.
The plan is to make 1 minute shorts detailing the real history behind a character/event/location/castle/etc.
Coming really soon!
I'd love to see you come up with a list of ideas, who knows maybe that list is what we use to start with :)
Thus the plan to crusade in Egypt is set forth. It'll be interesting to see the ripple this has on the future of Europe, whether they succeed or fail.
I open up UA-cam. I see a new Altremer. It is a good day
I love your integration of an archaic map into your video.
Thank you so much, looking into this I realized how differently the maps were made and how people viewed the world, which is fascinating.
Oh man, I can't wait for the next episode, to see what they do with the Doge as a character.
He is gonna mint his own currency called Dogecoin
Very soon my friend!
@@Altremer Will he be a devious, scheming villain or sympathetic in some way?
This episode is much improved over the previous ones, well done.
Thank you so much! Which parts do you think have seen the most improvement?
Can’t wait to see what happens to the good Count Theobald
We’re back in business and they cooking
🔥
Ah logistics, the real way wars are won...or lost
Bois, we have never been more back, let’s goooooo
LET'S GO!
Good to see this again, I was afraid it had died before its time.
At last...it's here. I just love all the different banners that were displayed on the map.
And listening to the council made it feel like I was actually there, though only a spectator. Very well done.
Love the series!
We are eating good today
Love the intro as always.
Amazing story I love how you made france accent and character stand out with own personality I learned more historical figures
I will say I am looking forward to see al-Adil he become sultan 17 February 1200 he proved be skilled diplomat sadly he died at battle against crushed in 1217 on Wikipedia Adil was totally unprepared for this assault and despite being seventy-two years of age he hurriedly took his forces into Palestine to engage with them. The campaigns in Palestine did not bring him any notable success however, and in August 1218 (Jumada 1 615) he received the shocking news that a second Crusader force had landed in Egypt and were attacking Damietta. He fell ill and died while on campaign (August 1218) and was succeeded by his son Malik Al-Kamil
I am looking forward to how fourth Crusade happened in this timeline
Thank you so much for your comment!
Without giving out major spoilers all I will say now is that Al-Adil will be one of the main characters in the story
OH YEAH!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!
ROMA VICTORA
Awesome
Very cool
i have been waiting for so long Keep it up
it is back
Been waiting for its one
I would love to see who gets Egypt
Mate you need to put this on the main channel again, nobody’s watching this quality series
The goal is to get a few more episodes out and drop it as a big compilation. Little known fact: We haven't even reached the POD yet. As soon as we do we will kick the marketing up in gear, but until then support by people like you means a great deal.
The fact of the matter is this: If it wasen't for our patreons, this series would have been cancelled after episode 1.
All of the animation, illustration, voice acting is pricey, but people vote with their dollars and so far we are avoiding the fate of many amazing cancelled shows before us
Comment for the Algorithm!! Excellent series guys and gals!
Much appreciated!
Huzzah!
Let's fucking goooo
It was about time you uploaded!
nice
YEEEEEEESSSSSS!
Theobald: Behold a detailed map for the king of Sicily
Me: That is quite possibly the worst map I have ever seen
Sad Nuzhat al-mushtāq fī ikhtirāq al-āfāq noises
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO
YEEEEEEESSSSSS
22:44 "Hey, I've heard this one!"
I wonder if Hungary will contribute to the effort of the crusade. Just curious because for example records of millitary build up in Hungary happend around the 4th crusade due to the increasing threat of the muslims due to the weakening byzantine empire and the Kingdom felt more at risk due to the only buffer between it and the muslims was an empire hanging onto dear life.
However it would be intresting to see how Hungarian interactions with the crusader force would play out as the Venitians did have their eyes on Zara controlled by Hungary at the time since 1186 and between the years of 1203-4, the Kingdom was torn by a civil war between the ruleing king Emeric and his younger brother Andrew II.
Intrestingly enough Pope Innocent III urged Andrew to lead a crusade to the Holy Land and his father King Béla III willed property and money to Andrew obliging him to lead a crusade to the Holy Land. But being the good son that he was, Andrew waisted the inheritance by conspiracy against Emeric with the help of John, Abbot of Pannonhalma, Boleslaus, Bishop of Vác, and many other prelates and lords. Even with the threat of excommunication by the Pope if he did not go, the guy just said "NUH UHH". When he was exposed he fled into exile and would continue to cause issues in hungary until he became king in 1205 a year after the 4th Crusade.
He would partake in the 5th to do good on the vow to go on a crusade in 1217-18 which went as good as any other crusade after the first crusade which subsequently made him complain to the new Pope - Pope Honorius - and due to the massive debt because of his crusade, he imposed extraordinarily high taxes and debase coinage which would later spirle into the Golden Bull of 1222.
So I guess my point here would be is in this alternative 4th Crusade, it would be intresting to see Andrew, son of King Béla III with some convincing, stop his efforts for the throne of Hungary and acctually do good on his obligation to join the crusade since the Venitian fleet will be passing by Hungary and Andrew would have the means to bolster the Crusaders strengths.
:)
I believe what you refer to in particular is Andrew's crusade which was a MASSIVE undertaking. Should the crusade keep its corse and not mess around with Zara this really does make things very interesting.
When people consider the impact of the 4th crusade they usually think of the consequences for the Levant and the Byzantines.
But what about Hungary and Bulgaria? Two minor powers later on, but regional superpowers at the time>
What about the war with England?
But most importantly: What about the Albigensian crusade? Fun fact, in researching this series I found out that a HUGE amount of the crusaders who pledged to go to the Holy Land actually end up in the Albigensian crusade, should the organization that we see here happen as it was intended to, southern france would have looked very differently.
Thank you for your great comment!
@@Altremer Thank you for taking the time to read my comment and I learnt something new today regarding the Albigensian Crusade which I will read into to expand my knowledge 😀.
Also I would like to point out, IF Andrew did go on the 4th Crusade and did not attempt to kick his brother of the throne, the Hungarian treasurey would not be depleted due to Andrew not using crown money and resources for his Crusade and not forcing Emric to waste resources on Andrew, Hungarian succession would continue on with Ladislaus III as he not would flee and die in Vienna creating 2 Árpád branches. The combination of these 2 factors could mean no Golden Bull of 1222 allowing the Crown to continue gaining power and centralising the realm sooner than Béla IV and be stronger than IRL. It could also prevent the Árpád house From going extinct due to the 2 branches existing as i mentioned before.
Point being Hungary in a timeline where Andrew joins the 4th Crusade could mean a future stronger Hungary able to actively push the muslims back away from Europe and potentially be able to prevent getting overrun by the Mongols due to their stronger position.
Alright I'll stop boring you with hypothetical's
I love the series so keep up the good work. Can't wait for the next episode :D
Edit: I just realised I kinda repeated myself so, sorry if u read the paragraph. It just the guys actions here changes a bunch of things for Hungary around this time and I'm just hyped up of what's gonna happen in the Adriatic sea.
You should at least do a community post on the main channel as well.
Bro they have VeC RPing as French Perun, truly the greatest series of all time
Was it during this crusade that there was talk of ally with the Nubians and Ethiopians?. Like no actual alliance was even attempted but what if.
Considering the logistics of the communications there is very little chance that happens
MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED A CRUSADE WHICH WILL HELP THE EASTERN ROMAN EMPIRE right?
Holy shit, I clicked fast
Why is Theobald against robbing Jews?.
Great question! Antisemitism was a big thing during the middle ages, but it is actually around this time, especially under Philip II and Louis the Saint when it ramps up a lot. Louis is actually the first one to introduce the yellow star as a way to distinguish Jewish citizens from the rest.
Theobald's father however, who picked up Champagne and made it into a prosperous hub of trade and culture had a very different attitude, based on what we know from Theobald it's very likely that he would have followed these reforms
Had the Crusades succeeded, the Levant (and possibly parts of Egypt as well) would likely look like a giant version of Malta today, regions dominated by the Latin Church, historically governed by Crusader knights (Malta was governed by the Knights Hospitalier for centuries), that nevertheless speak Semitic languages as their vernacular (the Maltese language is a Semitic language related to Arabic).
Part of the goal of this series is to dissect the black/white good/bad clear cut narratives where one side utterly destroys the other. Most crusaders, including the fourth and especially the first had so many different factions with different goals and as the story expands it will be interesting to see how it all develops.
That being said you bring up some very interesting points
@@Altremer The First Crusade were certainly seen as rowdy barbarians by Constantinople and it came about almost by accident. The Emperor in Constantinople just sent a message to the Pope in hope of reinforcements to fight the Turks. Instead, they raised a massive Crusade that successfully re-captured the entire Levant for the first time in over four centuries!
Will the Eastern Empire still feature somewhat in this alternate timeline?
