I'm not a Christian now but I was raised as one, never really learned about the crusades in church classes and I always had a generally negative idea of them. After watching this from start to finish my idea of them has completely changed. The stories of the first and third crusades in particular are epic!

You definitely have to watch “Kingdom of Heaven”. It’s not just completely accurate but it’s one of the best medieval movies ever made. And the cast is incredible
As a fellow historian this documentary was quite brilliant. I loved every moment that is hit my ears, going to re watch on the weekend. Why watch marvel when Real Crusades History exists!!!
Never been reliqious but the times now make me almost want to become a Christian...not because I believe the bible as interpreted by most but because of what it has done for my people and my country, the battles they fought in the past and the bravery shown... Christianity is dying and if that happens what is left over?..... We the younger ones should stand with our elders and forefathers and reclaim our Western identity.
Christ is King ☦️ I recommend trying to find a Orthodox (personally) or at least a more traditional Catholic church. These two groups care the most about tradition and true worship and respect for God and our ancestors. God bless you on your journey 🙏🏼
the next crusade? the Lord has not yet released humanity from islam... where it rules, deceives and oppresses the people.... so maybe that day will come, sister Queen.
Europeans were able to do so much with so little... Marching against an empire hundreds - thousands of miles away, outnumbered in foreign hostile lands, they exerted so much influence. They conquered fortified cities, held them, and we're able to prolong their fall for decades. It's unbelievable what they did.
@@RESIST_DIGITAL_ID_UK lol if the African didn’t join to fight you know Europe should have lost, like it simple we black people never have the think you guys promise us but then it okay
@@paulkoroma6065 Look up the statistics. They were basically negligible in the war. The French army had the most of them, and even then it was about only 3% of their army, and most of them were fighting in Africa, not Europe.
YES 🙏🙏🙏 GOD TRULY IS THE MOST BLOOD THIRSTY AND SAVAGE THIS IS WHY WE ALWAYS WIN, AND EVERY ONE IN THE WORLD IS CHRISTIAN BECAUSE THE BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD!!!
I never took time to learn about the Crusades but heard on numerous ocassion how evil we Catholics are because of the Crusades. Recently, I stumbled upon Bryan Mercers UTube channel Catholic Truth, where he explains the Crusades. Lets just say I have been enlightened This shows how important it is to be educated on things and not just hear things from one side
I happen to always fall asleep to this then wake up in time to always hear to the 3rd crusade so I know everything about the 3rd crusade but not the others 😂😂
You have to just realise how much slower everything was, marching across whole countries, rowing over oceans and having to stop to rest for almost half of each day. Then there's the supply lines. Its a wonder war could be waged at all
Awesome, love having a single video. The only thing I would ask on these compolations is could you add chapter markers, so we could easily find where in the video are the parts of previous videos? |---||------------||-----------||-----------||------| That would be super handy.
@@RealCrusadesHistory One question why is it that two of your videos that I wanted to watch are nowhere to be found and I really wanted to watch them one of them was about how dracula got his name and the other was about the Visigothic pre Islamic intellectual brilliance Can you please link them to me or why am I no longer able to watch them on UA-cam
Are there any records, or has anyone theorised, about the Christian pilgrims, who were entertained, by Saladin at Jerusalem? I’m sure that would’ve been most intriguing. I feel that had Richard planned for a longer campaign, he could’ve defended his gains, organised water supplies and captured Jerusalem, within a few years longer than he stayed in the Holy Lands. Then the Crusaders could’ve conquered Ascalon and launched campaigns for conquests in Egypt. This would’ve taken many years for a successful outcome, perhaps in 10 years Richard might’ve been hailed as Pharaoh, or even an Emperor. Richard’s Achilles heel was his cowardly bad brother, bad King John. It was Richard’s desperation to ensure the security of the Angevin Empire that caused him to quit the Crusade prematurely. Along with the constant bickering and back biting from the French Crusaders. Although he did secure a successful campaign, Richard only partially completed his full Crusade mission. The battle of Jaffa should’ve emboldened Richard, his army and his Crusader allies, to have a solid crack at capturing Jerusalem. This may well have taken up to 5 years to accomplish, but he would’ve better spent that time doing this, rather than being captured and ransomed by the Germans. When Richard made King Phillipe of France swear on Relics, not to trouble his lands. I suspect that Richard had a thought in the back of his mind, that he wanted to war against Phillipe and have the sanction of the Church on his side. Perhaps the Crusaders should’ve split into two armies at Jaffa? Richard to besiege Ascalon and the French and Hugh of Burgundy to besiege Jerusalem. Personally, I would’ve switched to a defensive strategy, strengthening and consolidating the coast cities and towns and built aqueducts and canals to bring fresh water to Jaffa and Acre. Allowing 18 months to 2 years for this to be completed and I would’ve petitioned the Pope and Christendom, to send more armies and supplies to the Holy Land. Then either besieged Jerusalem, or Ascalon and then Jerusalem afterwards. I think Richard was somewhat impatient and aggravated, by the constant adversities that he faced, from his supposed Allies. Why did Richard sail to Italy and then travel through the Holy Roman Empire, putting himself at risk to then be captured? Why didn’t he sail, all the way back to his homeland? Or even stopped to visit the Pope at Rome to gain some extra support and guidance?
Without John and backstabbing allies, Richard would have most certainly taken and held Jerusalem. Who knows what other victories and lands he could have taken against the Muslims had fate given him the time without having to deal with homeward pressures. The seas for ships back then were very dangerous is probably why he opted for the land route on his attempted return.
@@RESIST_DIGITAL_ID_UK it’s a four hour long video that I watched a month/month and a half ago. I’m sorry but I’m not rewatching to get timestamps. They’re in there though. At least within the first two and a half hours, I recall seeing it a few times
Normandy is from Norman...which means Northman. It is called Normandy because the French king awarded it to Vikings he bribed to stay and fight off other Vikings. Literally, land of the men from the north.
I'd like to get this on DVD or Blu Ray. I'm not a big reader. I'd get it from Amazon if you had it there. Apparently nobody puts their amazing Crusaders videos on disc for Amazon.
Out of curiosity, would you please do at least one video where you discuss about what women did in feudal eras, particularly during wartimes. What were their roles? What jobs did they work in? What did they do while men were away? What struggles and limitations did they suffer? What essential needs did they take care of? What did they do during sieges on their homes? I'm interested in learning about the other half of what my kind did. As exciting as battles and politics can be, I think it's important to consider what other folks were doing, even if they were mundane necessities.
@@glovesofkosai5639 Sorry to keep you waiting. I just thought it'd be nice if women's roles in history would be given limelight. Most history retellings seem to focus mainly on what men did as if what women did weren't all that important.
@cadethumann8605 No need to apologize! I wouldn't say that at all. A run of the mill existence isn't bound to be remembered by the history books, male or female. There's still plenty of women who make the pages, but what's to learn about mundane living? I'd imagine they did similar things to what average women do today, right?
@glovesofkosai5639 Even as a man myself, I'm still interested in knowing what women did, whether they be mundane or exceptional (like, what did they do during times of war?). In fact, it can be argued that most men only did mundane deeds like farming. It's only the exceptional roles like war (at least on campaign or directly defending places, as those are commonly documented in detail. From what I've read, commoners, women included, also had to work hard in taking care of society during times of war (not to mention, help support the defenders during a siege)).
