Flash Point History you are very imprecise in mapping Hungary, it encompassed the whole Carpathian Basin at that time when Frederick Barbarossa crossed through it. And he never went through Romania, which at that time didn't exist. His route was through Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Thrace.
I'm still in confusion about something. Why was Phillip so passive in allowing himself to be suboordinated by Richard when he arrived... What made Richard so obviosly senior? Then after Acre was captured why did Philip leave really? Seems to me he could have stayed and participated, and remained a big contender for powersharing in a recaptured Crudader Kingdom...
Amazing video - Saladin was undoubtedly a brilliant general, but since he never defeated Richard I in any battle, it truly shows what an amazing warrior king Richard truly was. Whilst Muslims like to glorify Saladin, we in the West rarely speak of Richard's accomplishments.
@@nickafanasyev6550 Yes it doesn't fit the bill. Genocide is the attempt to eradicated an ethnic or religious groups. While the prisoner were Muslim, their death was mainly a military decision as the Crusaders could not afford to feed them rather than a attempt to destroy an entire ethno-religious groups.
What can I say... you have truly mastered the art of storytelling. Such detail, such a voice and manner of speaking, such vivid animations, it all comes together perfectly. Keep up the great work!
Was down a bit due to being sick but now I have good company for a while. Thx for lifting my spirit with one of your videos. I always look forward to them immensely. My intense gratitude mate. 👌😎🖖👍👍👍
I've always liked how you compact your videos into one movie length video at the end of a series or series chapter. I like to download them and keep them for long road trips or long international flights. Your series on the early Reconquista and the Black Death got me through a 10 hour flight to Hungary once. Amazing work as always, congratulations.
How accurate are the surrender negotiations in Kingdom of Heaven, @@FlashPointHx? The ones where Balian negotiates safe passage in return for the surrender of Jerusalem?
@@NobleKorhedron Its probably not very accurate - there has to be some 'saving of face' in this from the western POV as they had just lost Jerusalem - might as well remember it a defiant diplomatic last stand.
What a ride this has been. From the narration to the presentation and editing everything was on point. Beautiful work as always. Salahaddin and Richard the Lionheart two great generals of their time. It was lovely to learn about.
@@FlashPointHx It's the combination, the passion from the narrator and the conclusion of this great adventure. You can feel like something great is about to happen. It reminded me of the end Alphonso The Avenger epsiode when he was about to finish the reconquista only to die from the black plague.
One smooth and expert narrative. One can watch or listen and relax.. Fortunately not interrupted by the faces and voices of experts which can be very jolting. Thank you for the many hours of enjoyment.
been watching for a couple years now and it always somehow gets better each time. So glad youre finally getting some recognistion for your work. Congrats on 100k man, you more than deserve it.
Thank you for your efforts over the years. It is really appreciated. Your videos like this one help me alot with my nights. Can't really sleep so theese are a golden gem for me.
@@FlashPointHx I was seriously watching your stuff religiously. But you know how YT is. The moment you stray off into a new topic (we’ll say true crime and comedy in my case) all of a sudden that was basically all I got. Anyways, I really appreciate your work.
@@WrathofArminius know what you mean. When my little one figured out he could watch cartoons on YT - Suddenly my recommendations changed from The Byzantine Empire to Coco Melon. again, happy you like my stuff.
Such a great video, very impressive. I would like to see battles from the roman times. Such as Adrianople, Idivasto, Teutoburg. The great roman saviour, Aurelian. The incredible conquests of Caesar and so on. Will be highly appreciated. Hey! You did amazing, keep it up!
I must say I have never seen a video like this before, I love history and after playing Assassin's Creed 1 I wanted to know more about this time period and the Third Crusade as a whole, King Richard and Sultan Saladin were great generals and their war strategy was a joy to watch and learn, you narrated it perfectly and I will be sure to recommend your channel to friends and watch your other videos.
@1:28:30: King Richard 1 famous quote about pressing to attack said "I find your lack of faith disturbing". More than a thousand years later; Darth Vader
First of your videos I've stumbled on, love the editing and pacing, you pieced the stories together so well I was engaged the whole time! You got a sub from me!
@@FlashPointHx Sam Smith and his Brit awards balloon outfit is depressing, I’ll take history any day over modern entertainment 😆. I love the way you narrate and present the information, whatever you decide to do you have a new follower, i’m currently making my way through the rest of your documentaries.
God, to have servants carry you on a stretcher when being sick, so that you can fire a crossbow at some random castle defender - wow! That seems like something that would actually make you feel a lot better too! "*Cough* *cough* *spit* reload this for me.. *cough* haha! Almost got him! Reload please! *Cough* *cough*" ( Excellent work on this series, and this one is even better than usual! )
Watching such video is terrifying. Fighting day and night continously lots bloodshed all over. Those days those kings and soldiers are so brave and strong but they all have to die one day fighting with their enemies to capture their territory and lands I salute to all the warriors who shed their blood and tears inthe battle field.
Dumb question, I'm working my way through conquest and fall of constantinople. Is this taken from that series or can I watch it now? I dont want to see it out of order! Thanks
Got to my UA-cam homepage and hit the play list category - this is the Constantinople series - but this is a bonus subset of the ‘War of the Worlds’ series.
In 1889 Wilhelm II visited Syria and he visited the Mausoleum of Saladin the following day, the Kaiser made a speech: “In the face of all the courtesies extended to us here, I feel that I must thank you, in my name as well as that of the Empress, for them, for the hearty reception given us in all the towns and cities we have touched, and particularly for the splendid welcome extended to us by this city of Damascus. Deeply moved by this imposing spectacle, and likewise by the consciousness of standing on the spot where held sway one of the most chivalrous rulers of all times, the great Sultan Saladin, a knight sans peur et sans reproche, who often taught his adversaries the right conception of knighthood” and he donated a sarcophagus and placed flowers on Saladin’s tomb after World War I, when the German-Ottoman alliance was defeated and both empires were destroyed, T.E. Lawrence stole the gilded wreath and brought it to London
So tragic that Barbarossa was lost by drowning. If he had lived and could have been united with the Austrians, English, and French etc., there would have been no problem. I had a German friend who recited a German poem to me about a German knight who was with Barbarossa through Turkey and was harassed by Turks firing arrows at him and his armor from behind the rocks. Apparently the Turk put himself off guard because the knicht was able to draw his sword and split the Turk in half from head to toe. What an age! Thank you for this video. It gives a rather complete explanation of the dynamics that were at play.
For thousands of years I have fought wars, loved and lost hundreds of people. My confidante found a cure and I am finally a mortal being. Perhaps I will finally rest in peace. What am I?
Meh, I´d say he did ok, but I´m still sad that Liam Neeson didn´t play the role, as was the original plan. But alas, the studio wanted someone younger. Neeson would have brought much more gravitas to the character I think. Plus, wasn´t the historical Balian about the same age as Neeson was when the Last Kingdom came out?

@@FlashPointHx Despite the failure, the third crusade could be considered a military success as most the land of the Kingdom was retaken.

King Richard and Saladin were two amazing individuals whom made thier mark in history
no argument here

Making their mark by murdering millions of people, same as Hitler, mao Zedong and Stalin. Do you whoreship and pray to these people?

Seems like there's been war throughout that region for our entire existence. Learned alot. Great video.
Off courses ,,, its a strategic part of the world that attracts alot of greed to occupy this region ,,
Excellent. I enjoyed Richard's conquest of Cypress. I hadn't heard it much detail before.
Yeah a lot of books seem to gloss over that - but it was a tour of force for the English king.

Every time I see images of the crusades, all I can think is 'not a cell phone in sight - just everyone living in the moment' - awesome comment btw
Tragic? None of us have a stake in this anymore, unless, for some reason, you think the crusades are still ongoing...
Please please PLEASE make the last part of the reconquista! The series ended in a cliffhanger for like a year now :(
Ok - will do! Jus give me a bit of time =)
