The talibans did not and will not negotiate with thé ottoman : the kabul's airport will be manned and controlled by the taliban and they did not held discussions with the ottomans : middleeasteye's claims have been debunked.
Great job with the video. Loved how informative it was.
Make video about qodisiya battle please
Videos on how empires organised themselves internally are underrated.
Dear God change your photo...but I also agree lol
My professor had a similar reaction one time in an online meeting.
I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne - let my army be like the rocks and the trees and the birds in the sky. He never said it, but man what a movie scene !
He didn't? Well now I'm questioning dr. Jones Sr.'s memory and scholar research.
Iconic scene. Then again, it's Sean.
I'm a native French speaker and there's a traditional song for children where the lyrics are about Charlemagne inventing school. Gives you an idea of his contributions.
Agree, France Gall is old tradition.
When you take into consideration the fact that most sources say he tried to learn to read and never mastered it but really believed in it for his subjects it makes him even cooler. I'm also hearing Monty Python vibes in WHAT DID CHARLEMAGNE EVER DO FOR US 🤣
Crucifications!
Charlemagne, the sequel to Rome we didn’t know we needed.
What if he married Irene? Neo-United Roman empire!
But the Roman Empire was then in the East...
@@Matthew_080 Not wholy. Byzantine administrstive systems were far more close to the erlier Hellenistic kingdoms (Constantinople was divided in Demes each with a Demarch like ancient Athens). But the wholy Roman Empire actually shared far more similarities with their Roman blood (language, administration, the church and all the empires culture was a mixture of Roman and Germanic traditions)
@@user-ll9hb3sd8h Germans: Kills the Romans
*Am I Roman now?*
@@KiranSingh-zr8jr Cringe, If you actually bothered to learn about either Empires you would know that’s not possible, let alone the fact Irene was too old to have kids.
Charlemagne: one of the few passable roman larpers in history
Well it is possible he was related to the roman senate nobility
@@boss180888 the Roman senate as a relevant institution, or it’s late decorative body?
@@alfredospautzgranemannjuni5864 not sure but the person concerned was i think arnulf of metz
@@boss180888 i dont think he had any correlation to the roman nobility since the pope gave him the title of patrician after the war with the lombards, which means he didnt have it
being possibly related to the Senate is nothing
I would like to thank HistoryMarche on behalf of the entire world for making another amazing video!

@مكافح التنصير infidel look up 15 July 1099 up on Google
I love how you guys can talk about all those things that get overlooked by a purely militaristic aproach to history. Administration and cultire as just as amazing as any battle 🔥
Indeed I would say it more important.
Without battles won, no admin, no culture.
I delivered the mail today. But this man delivered the history
Sadly, Charlemagne did all that but didn't rush primogeniture like he should have. Luckily he only had one surviving son when he died, so the empire lasted a bit longer, but that Gavelkind succession got the Franks in the end.
True but he had a longer lasting Legacy through his Reforms, wars and policies. Dynasties die out but the Glory of Francia remains!
It got the Carolingians, not the Franks.
Potentially as tall as 6"4? Guess he is a giant of history in more than one way.
Sure was :)
Brother not only Charlemagne but also Skanderbeg is 6"4 Tall
@@kaushalraj2597700 years later...men was taller.
I love History Marche, I subscribe to a lot of historical channels and these guys are among the best.
The man who every European claim to be descended from .
Everyone is.
@@xergiok2322 Nope, only the French kings descended from him until they were wiped out.
Frankish, not french. His descendants became rulers over modern day France, Germany and Italy.
The male line died out, but there female line is indeed in probably every western European
@@TemplarX2 not exactly read what the guy above me said, also when I said everyone I meant the people too not just kings, because of the bastards he fathered and his sons have bastards...etc
@@marcrolf7640 French kings. The Capetian Kings. The Franks basically became the Northern French, Belgian, some Dutch and Western Germans. Most Europeans were lowly peasants not nobles. It's a European case of "we wuz Kangz and shiat". No, you weren't. Your ancestors were oppressed dirty peasants that fled Europe to America. I'm a noble seriously. I descend from a Malagasy queen, Ranavalona I. My great great Grandmother was the sister of Ranavalona III and married a Norman (from Normandy) corsair in exile. I literally have a legitimate claim over the entire Madagascar.
It's quite unfathomable that, at the end of the day, all of this was accomplished by a an illiterate who despite living more than a thousand years ago would've been tall enough to play in the NBA and had nearly lost his empire in Iberia before he had a chance to found it. A true cult of personality. No wonder the aristocracy became known as 'Königsnähe' - 'Close to the King'
What made people short in the past was lack of proper food nobels like Charlemagne would have the same height as modern people
@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl I believe he meant that Charlemagne was big even compared to most modern people with access to proper nutrition. People in the NBA are taller than the average person.
Illiterate? Are you confusing him for Clovis? He was the son of Pepin and the grand son of Charles Martel
@@zachariastsampasidis8880 It says right there in the video he was trying to learn to read as an elderly man.
Yeah it's unfathomable because it's not true, just a king blown up by the religious fervor of the time and his relationship with the pope.
Classic! Getting this for free is awesome.
The man with the golden voice.
I really appreciate you guys
Thanks
The Greatest Medieval Emperor in History.
What timing! I just found you guys with your part 1 video about a hour ago. Thanks
Welcome!
You're in for a treat, been a fan of this channel for over 4 years
Loved the “subscribe as a sacrifice to the algorithm “
Loved part one and now I am sure I’m going to enjoy part two
It worth noting that at the time illiteracy meant "lack of ability to read and write in Latin" specifically as opposed to not knowing to read and write at all.
Most people were fairly capable in their native vernaculars, otherwise societies wouldn't really function.
A lot of language were local and not written. France (alone) still found 80+ dialect today on her territory, less than 1/4 can be writen.
@@gringologie9302 People could still read and write to do commerce, business and interact with one another. It's not like writing has one singular system given to us by the Gods of the universe. We invented and reinvented writing systems for an incredibly long time.
Iirc, "A French national's proper French" is also considered to be one riddled with mistakes and vernacular stylings as opposed to perfect French. That really applies to every language really. So to speak of course. You can tell a native of the language by their vulgar use of it as opposed to a non native who tries to have it as perfect as possible. There are common "wrong" stylings that are pretty much uniform in French.
How ironic to have attended H.S. and College in the U.S. and to be completely ignorant about Charlemagne......especially just now learning about how he instituted the encouragement to learn.
To be fair, no history class is properly comprehensive. Going to school in England, history of the Tudors was the Battle of Bosworth Field, Henry VIII and Elizabeth I - it's only later that you find out about things like Tyrone's Rebellion and the Irish Famine.
@@Zombiewithabowtie Interesting, thank you. I have two books I started reading: 1. London A Hisory by Francis Sheppard; 2. Irish History, from prehistoric times to present day...by Seamas Mac Annaidh.
I'm glad that you mentioned and showed the Carolingian minuscule at 4:50. One can see that it greatly influenced the modern look of the Latin script. It happened partially because the Renaissance scholars mistook copies of ancient works written in it for the originals.
"When they handled manuscript books copied by eleventh- and twelfth-century scribes, Quattrocento literati [meaning the learned Italians of the 15th century] thought they were looking at texts that came right out of the bookshops of ancient Rome". Elizabeth Eisenstein, The Printing Revolution in Early Modern Europe, 2nd ed. (Cambridge University Press) 2006, p. 134.
Carolingian minuscule also simply was more practical, as easier to read, and judged to be more aesthetically pleasing than the 'Gothic' script. It ironically reinforced the notion of the men of the Renaissance that everything between the fall of the Western Rome and them was backwards and barbaric, a notion that warps the understanding of the medieval period for most people to this day.
This reformation did not only impact mainland Europe, it triggered the reformation in the northern Anglo Saxon kingdom of Northumbria,the growth on the school in York, then them sending conversion monks/priests to old Germania
His octagonal Byzantine style throne room in Aachen cathedral is just absolutely stunning. I wish there was more of that architecture in Western Europe.
Well at least he was made emperor by actual Romans instead of Greeks playing pretend
Very informative and worth running back a few times to absorb all the details.
i wish we had your videos in high school back in the 80s. world history would have been so much more fun and a lot easier
Was waiting for this! Thanks HM
Thank you for being better teachers than the ones at University!
Hopefully a longer series is in the works!
Brilliant and informative video..
Didn't realise how much he achieved
Thought he was more of a conquerer but this video informed me otherwise!!
Great work on the upgrade,quality ,and style of the videos recently historymarche
Thanks to the court of Charlemagne for lower case letters. Otherwise we’d read everything as shouting
Arabik speakings, listen and learn!

@@crazyviking24 I still don´t get how the roman legions conquered the world without the number 0.
@@anderstopansson that’s easy. They didn’t conquer the world
@@BoxStudioExecutive Easy 4 u.
If only he reformed the succession system as well.
thanks for the video
Well done! Both informative and enjoyable.
He done so much to centralize his power but forgot to change the the inheritance law. soon after the empire was split and split.
thanking us for watching while we should be the ones with the thanks, amazing and beautiful work you are doing here , honest to god I hope you continue making these videos, thank you .
If you love history you can watch videos at channel "Kings and Generals"
Amazing!!!. This video is a work of art.... Nicely explained too... Thank you so much for all your hard work....
ah I was really looking forward to another video of yours, thank you very much.
My last term paper before my bachelor thesis was on Alcuin's influence on the Educational Reforms. It was quite interesting. Also that Alcuin often had some beef with some of the other advisers and scholars, since obviously they were all vying for more influnce and recognition by Charlemagne.
Hello, maybe i’m a little late but do you have some books i can check on your subject?

Your admirable hard work and deep research make you the best channel on UA-cam. But brother I am waiting for an promised video on Skanderbeg when it will come?
Thank you so much 😀
@@HistoryMarche Brother welcome how is your father now
@@kaushikraj4357 He's recovering well, but there's a long road ahead. I'd say it's 2 steps forward, 1 step backward. Minor issues keep coming up, which will continue for the next 6-12 months.
@@HistoryMarche Oh, Brother I am feeling very sad for your father. I will pray your father will recover soon. Don't be upset.
@@HistoryMarche Hi Mago, Where are you from?
It's a shame that the simple, clear calligraphy of the Carolingian era never became widespread after Charlemagne's time. It would've made reading later medieval manuscripts a lot easier.
It's also interesting to see Charlemagne attempt to create a centralised government with a strong bureaucracy in what would become France. A task that wouldn't truly become fruitful till the age of Louis XIV in the later 17th century.
The funniest part is him creating such a unitary bureaucracy yet he also is credited for creating feudalism as we know it
I love this channel. The person doing the artwork is doing amazing job.
I love listening your videos while working out
Thanks😍😍 for making
HEY! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST HISTORY/BATTLE CHANNEL!
THANK YOU!
Thanks! Another great video. These are really too good for youtube!
@ 5:03 LOL it's like when all the super heroes assemble and receive introductions.
thank you for the coupoun for curosity stream i love your channel so much
It's always a good day when HistoryMarche uploads
Good job!
Thank you for this.
Wonderful video! Worthy of the great king himself.
My fav. History channel.
HistoryMarche and Kings and Generals are the best history youtube channels.
Epic History Tv as well.
You have to love the standards of the time: here he's portrayed as being almost controversially well educated for his knowledge of... arithmetic and possibly basic literacy.
I think it was more for his administrative skills and his understanding of how an effective society should be run. His intelligence probably far exceeded his education.
This was very informative!❤️🧲👌🍺👍❗
Great vid as always
Perfect video ,thank you
All dislikes are from Saxons
Understandable lol
Don't worry about that.
The dislike button has been deactivated.
Charlemagne killed them all hehe
The man of the hour
This so good, please more of this! Really hope you make enough money of UA-cam by doing these videos! Keep going!!!
Charlemagne was such a Chad!
Great video!
Always love the vids
A man that Europe needed in its dire state
great work!
Give me the true Renaissance that reenlightened the West
*Great Renaissance*
"Not that one"
*Renaissance of 12th century*
"Sorry, not that one"
*Islamic Golden Age*
"Definetly not that one"
*Ottonian Renaissance*
"Almost, but no"
*Carolingian Renaissance*
"Perfection, thank the Lord for given us Charlemange"
The music is perfect
Can you do the Ottonian Renaissance next?
A most excellent summary
Luv u HistoryMarche u are the best
Alfred the Great next?
i was waiting for this video
a sacrifice for the algorithm.
Nice knowledge
5:35 great team :-)
banger video
Awesome thx
Brilliant video! Ik you usually don't tend to do this sort of thing, but would you consider doing a video on something like the d day landings?
Been waiting for part II, THANK YOU!
Dark Ages are a fascinating time, we focus too much on the High Medieval period ...
And now you´re waiting for part III, right?
@Sunbro it is.
@Sunbro U mad. Simply by saying that the period between late antiquity and the high medieval period is NOT the Dark Ages == historical revisionism + mad.
@Sunbro Carolingian Renaissance is a sub period within the larger historical period called Dark Age which is a sub period a larger historical period called the Medieval age. You will find absolutely NO books saying the Carolingian Renaissance period ended and the high medieval began. You'd find only early medieval or dark age, and then the high medieval period began.
...You didn't know that? Embarrassing...
@SunbroBruv, if you're so far gone in your pseudo-intellectual mind to say the Dark Age and Early Medieval Age are not interchangeable then present your academic credentials right now.
If you are going to draw imaginary lines in time as _real_ scholars do, also present your credentials. It does not matter that there was a miniscule renaissance that is a blip compared to the real one 500-600 years later, you can't just say that the Carolingian Renaissance is a period equal to the Dark/Early medieval Age, the High Medieval, or the Late Medieval.
Will reply tomorrow if you reply.

Every time he says renaissance, the “cool whip” scene from Family Guy comes to mind!
Charlemagne sent Harun Spanish horses, colorful Frisian cloaks and impressive hunting dogs.
In 802 Harun sent Charlemagne a present consisting of silks, brass candelabra, perfume, balsam, ivory chessmen, a colossal tent with many-colored curtains, 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗯𝘂𝗹-𝗔𝗯𝗯𝗮𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘇𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗯𝗼𝘄𝗹, 𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗸𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀-𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿-𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝗵𝘂𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺.

Hello, Dear History Marche. I'd like to know more about the three significant medieval transformations. Can you elaborate what was the other two transformations? thank you!
No wonder some believe Charlemagne is made up, he did so many things it is almost too good to be true
Great!
can we get a vid about otto? charlemagne was a great leader and did many great things, but would like to see more on the guy that made the hre really happen.
Do more documentaries about Charlemagne they are so cool 🔥
