The Crusaders continued moving into the Asia Minor and had to fight against the forces of the Seljuk Sultan of Rum Kilij Arslan in Dorylaeum ( • Battle of Dorylaeum 10... ) and after the victory over the sultan, the road to Syria was open, leading to the Siege of Antioch in 1097-1098 ( • Siege of Antioch 1097-... ), but the partial victory of the crusaders in this siege was followed by a counter-attack of various Seljuk generals, leading to the biggest battle of the First Crusade - the battle of Antioch ( • Biggest Battle of the ... ). In the aftermath of the battle, the crusade almost collapsed, as the infighting between the princes became too difficult to resolve leading to a Civil War like situation ( • Civil War of the First... ). Despite this situation, Crusaders managed to retain some of their unity and continued deeper into Syria, where they fought at Ma'arra. Unfortunately, that was the battle that turned them into cannibals ( • Battle that Turned Cru... ). The issues persists, but the majority of the remaining Crusader army finally reached Jerusalem and besieged it ( • Siege of Jerusalem 109... ). In the aftermath of taking Jerusalem, Crusaders needed to secure the city against the Fatimid counter-offensive, which led to the last battle of the First Crusade - the battle of Ascalon ( • Last Battle of the Fir... ). It was followed by the Crusade many consider to be the worst - the Crusade of 1101 ( • Worst Crusade - Crusad... ). In the aftermath, Crusaders lost the battles of Ramla and Harran, and one of them - Bohemond, decided to go on a first crusade against the Romans - Byzantine Empire, leading to the siege of Dyrrhachium of 1107-08 against the emperor Alexios.

Hey Kings and Generals hope soon you get back on the Roman stuff since you still haven't finished post Caesar civil wars. Haven't seen one since the battle of Naulochus which was 3 months ago.
I didn't expect this great clip, this is probably one of your best series, the only thing I didn't like was the new animation for the french king his daughters, it's too much this one was the peak so far, I want to ask if there are subtitles for the member clips for the channel
Robert of Normandy didn’t die in battle but was instead captured by his brother during the battle of tinchebray and died in captivity decades after. Easy mistake to make :)
When will you make a video about the creation of the Khorezmshah Empire and about the last commander of Khorezmshah Sultan Jalal ad Din? and fought against the Mongols, who created the empire of Tamerlane from scratch ???
Bohemond making a whole threatening speech only to be imediatly owned by Alexios is just so anticlimatic and hilarious.
An ignoble end for such a man but a well deserved one that is.
I haven't done any serious research about this dude but i wonder why he hated the byzantines so much
@@coffeerider786 failed conquest vengeance for his captivity in Danishmend hands and the fact that he wanted the throne and wealth of the Eastern Roman Empire.
@@CT--rg2fu
Yep. Eastern Roman Empire was just built different 😅
@@thalmoragent9344 considering the current situation of Latin Western Europe I wouldn’t be surprised that a covetous Norman would want a more comfortable and powerful realm.
Alexios Komnenos is probably my favorite Byzantine emperor. That man never quit and was politically savvy.
Agreed, he’s the most interesting Byzantine emperor to learn about for me
Certainly a more complex human being than "prophet" Sex Award Winner (SAW) who is as easy to understand as the plot of a Johnnie Sins "movie"
IKR, whatever the opponent against Byzantium might be whether Robert Guiscard or Bohemond, Alexios is still the best and will always be...
Deserves to be in the same rank as Caesar (except in this case not for the Roman Empire but for Byzantium)
He kinda feels like Basil II, both failed, and were humiliated, but learning from theier mistakes, making an epic come back, and showing shrewd diplomatic tatics intead of ruining everything with arrogance like most byzantine emperors did so many times...I can hardly say wich one of the two is my favorite but I sure love both😄
@thebeatnumber You just couldn't help yourself could you? Dirtbag always feeling the need to show disrespect even in response to someone else's respectful comment.
Alexios Comnenus is one of the most skilled Roman emperors of all times, glad that he is getting at last some much needed attention.
Eraclius, gallienus and Alexander severus deserve much more credit
@@alessandrogini5283different era different circumstances.
I love how Bohemond's letter is about how awesome he is than he is humbled after being defeated by Alexios
Went from the I will burn your empire to the ground to Alexios is my daddy.
What a dip....
@@stepanrusinko2456
Byzantine is just built different 😅
"Bohemond's nephew only agreed to let the old man go after he swore that he wouldn't attempt to conquer any piece of land in the Levant. Raymond then proceeded to conquer a piece of the Levant for himself, but only this time, he did do it on Alexios's behalf."
One of the most LOL events in history...
"No, that's not a typo." 🤣🤣
@@Wolfeson28 IKR I was gonna say that but I thought it would be too long
Raymond was the only Crusader lord to refuse the oaths, and in the end the only one to hold to them.
Alexios was one of numerous Roman emperors who brought the empire from the brink of extinction to new heights of power. Unfortunately, his method for doing so undermined core strengths of the empire in the long term and, absent a reformer member of the dynasty who could course correct, led to another collapse after Manuel's tenure came to an end. That doesn't lessen Alexios's importance or the remarkable, even miraculous, success and restoration that he led.
This glorious episode was unknown to me. This is great. Everything is great…from the background story to Bohemond’s clever arrival in Corfu and how Alexios outwitted him. I didn’t see in some time such a good K&G episode.
Thank you and good job! 💪🏼
Finally the unknown battle to many at dyrrachium which bohemond meet his demise What a mastermind alexios was truly one of the best eastern Roman emperors and of course the founder of komnenos dynasty who took the empire from the brink of destruction to it's former glory as a major power
I am trying to find a good biography of Alexios Komnenos, but I simply can’t. What an exceptional politician and soldier.
What do you think about the Alexiad written by his daughter?
@@floreacalin54 I might need to research that further.
Alexiad is highly recommended
Alexiad is a very good one.
The Alexiad is a fantastic read and even tho its heavily biased, that makes it only more entertaining, since Anna Komnena depicts the Franks like "Noble Savages". Just take it with a grain of salt and you'll be good.
"You were supposed to fight with the Romans, not against them!"
- Alexios to Raymond
From my point of view the Romans are evil!
The Romans (especially the Byzantines) had a tradition to treat their greatest enemies with humility from the time of Caesar and Pompey. It was probably a feat from experience to understand the complexity of the enemy situation, so that their enemies (or the deaths of their enemies in that regard) would not turn into a rallying banner for their followers to follow in the long term. Alexios is an underrated emperor and soldier for his decisions in warfare and diplomacy.
@@xunqianbaidu6917 It's so stupid to blame everything on a single man. He did all he could in his power to save a state that was on the verge of collapse when he ascended to its throne, he not only saved said state but turned it back into the dominant mediterranean force it always was. As for the dynastic politics, why, they had been taking place since the Macedonians. Like I'm sure you know that the Komnenians were not the first Roman dynasty lol. Yes, the bureaucracy eroded and degraded in its quality but that was bound to happen when an Empire loses like half its holdings within a decade. Let alone the fact that what they lost was their heartland, not frontier provinces and grain baskets as was the case in the 7th century.
but mortal enemies like Hannibal barca will never be thought of by the Romans
@XunQianBaiDu What choice did he have? He didn't have the luxury to think in the long term as the Empire was crumbling around him. He could only hope that his successors would implement more permanent solutions to Rome's problems.
The Romans literally humilliated and killed their most famous enemies on triumphs, look what happened to Vercingetorix.
@@xunqianbaidu6917you clearly do not study History Dynastic things of Roman Leaderships Started even in the Start Boy , also the Entire Political Structure of Eastern Roman was in Shamble because of the Disaster in Manzikert that led to the Loss of the Longest Roman Territory held (Anatolia) which the Primary Recruitment of Both Soldiers & Civil Servants and Majority of Taxes for the Empire by that Point the Empire needed to Survive and Survive immediately so Alexios has no Choice but too Feudalize the Political System from Semi-Feudalize/Central Political System under Macedonian Dynasty Yup.. Feudalism was being began in the Eastern Roman Empire by the Previous Dynasty the Macedonian its actually Basil II who Started it .
I’ll take all of the Bohemond/Guiscard content available, please. I never tire of their machinations
Everything was covered, there are other channels on YT, you know?
Bohemond is my favourite character in the 1st Crusade.If for nothing else you have to appreciate his audacity.
Alexios' strategic genius saved the empire one more time!
"I will not even grant you a Martyrs death." - Alexios to Bohemond, paraphrased.
Props to Alexios for always being one step ahead of everyone else
If Wizards and Warriors channel decided to cover about Myths or Moonrise, it will be awesome!
And such an irony to Bohemond himself, the man who started the Crusades ended up being sole surviving leader who died as a humiliated old man.
Please keep on making these videos cause it helps me learn new/more historic events and battles and wars that I never even learned about or heard of
will you make a video about alexios' son, John the Good? highly underrated emperor, one of the best in the Kommenoi dynasty and some would argue, I would argue, a better emperor than even Alexios himself
What a strategical master emperor Alexios!
Channel has been improving so much recently even with the small things!
The Komnenos Dynasty really defense a dying empire with cunning diplomacy. It's a shame this Franks folks only think avenging and titles.
We are the Franks, we are the Franks, we are, we are, we are the Franks awoooo
@@mrnice7570 *It is the shame that the latter Byzantine aristocracy cared only about power and would easily scapegoat Latins or make deals with Saracens to achieve their goals...
@@stranger__4956 The Byzantines were making deals with Muslim powers before, during and after the Crusades, that’s nothing new. There was no grand holy war between Christians and Muslims for them, the first crusade was designed and operated as a standard imperial
campaign for them. This view is one of the multiple cultural differences that made the Western States and Byzantium clash.
And Isaacs IIs harassment of Fredrick Barbarossa’s Crusade had nothing to do with an agreement with Saladin. It had to do with the fact Frederick was receiving and commuting to talks with the Rebellious Serbs and Bulgarians, as soon as he entered Byzantine territory at Nis he met with Stefen Nemanja, the leader of the Serbs who were rebelling against Byzantine authority. So Isaac was quite justified in hindering his advance.
Now the Latin Massacre, that’s an actual L on Andronikos Komnenos and thus Byzantium, that’s an actual valid moment to fault and blame the Byzantines.
@@tylerellis9097 Not to mention that the Crusaders arrived to Constantinople on the Angeloi's request and eventually the latter scammed the Crusaders of their promised reward for getting them back the throne.
@@stranger__4956
Wrong person, that was his Son Alexios IV, Isaac II was Emperor during the Third Crusade.
Never mess with Alexios.
The Byzantines would've been better off had they made the Crusaders focus on retaking the eastern Anatolian mountains to reform the barrier.
I mean, it's not like the crusaders were listening to anything the Byzantines had to say, that's why they were even in the levant
@@dillonblair6491 They were actually following Byzantine orders until Antioch, Which the Byzantines deemed more important than Inner Anatolia as the Former 2nd city and military capital of the Empire that was actually lost while Alexios was Emperor in 1084.
The first Crusade took the route the Emperor wanted under the lead of the Byzantine general Tatikios, and probably have continued to do so if not for the fateful day the Crusader Deserter changed history
Bohemont, 1105 : "Call the Crusade!"
His decendant, 40 000 years later : "WAAAAAAGH!!!"
Still cant believe that there isnt any series about Alexios or the Normans.
Quite informative!! Although I am an avid fan of Roman history, this event is something I was unaware of. At least IF I had read anything about it, it sure wasn't covered so well!! Thus forgettable. Thanks much!!
The Eastern Roman Empire really was just built different. A shame that 1453 went down the way it did but, Emperor Constantine XI stood tall for the homies, to the very end 🥲
If Alexios Komnenos had lived during the last years of the Western Roman Empire, there would have been a chance for the empire to live on
I don't think bohemond died a defeated old man, I think it's good he was able to grow old and live the remainder of his life with his family, that doesn't sound like a wasted life to me. Especially when the rest of the crusader leaders and countless soldiers died thousands of miles away from their homes and families.
Beautiful animation and video as always Kings.
Lmao Alexios was such a chad.
Ironic that the Crusaders would choose to do battle against the Seljuks at the very same place where the Parthians destroyed Crassus’ legions 1100 years earlier. Harran was the very site of the Battle of Carrhae. Only, the Turks could have taken a page from Surena and used their own equivalent of Cataphracts in their armies for the final coup de grace.
History repeats itself
I mean without Godfrey saving the encircled crusaders at doryleum, it would be a third reenactment of the battle.
You're doing a million dollar job. Keep it up. This is the way
I'm always amazed when I see how efficient and fearless were Frank crusaders.
I try to understand how it was possible
@@jakedunnegan than 1000 tanks and 9000 infantry got beaten by 7500 weaponized Toyota Hiluxes similar to Chad vs Libya lol. Turks were resource effective hard to train a Horse Archer (which they had a lot because they raised in this way not a problem either) but they are low cost in materials and hard to kill.
@@jakedunnegan Seljuk Turks used composite bows even Byzantines tried to copy it but couldn't because they were unware of the animal tendons used in it they surely pierced casual infantryman is armour but for knights nope you need other stuff too.
@@jakedunnegan this nomadic or semi nomadic life made the Seljuks dynamic in Byzantine you may need strategikon for teaching city boys about wars but Seljuk kids were no city boys.
@@tatarcavalry2342 The Byzantines had been using the Avar type composite bow for centuries at that point bro what are you on about?
Love the Byzantine history. Let’s correct the conspiracy of silence committed against them by the West.
We should start by calling them Romans, Roman Empire. That is the reason why the conspiracy of silence still exists today. Thankfully channels like K&G aren't afraid to call them what they were, Romans!
That Conspiracy my friend includes everything spoke Greek in the Planet,..it's start even before Myceneans
@@maverick7291 Frankly none of those examples about Muslims and Americans made any sense. Constantinople had a Roman senate ever since its inauguration by Constantine the First, "the Great". The Roman Senate of Constantinople never expired. The last senators were in attendance to the last Constantine, the Eleventh, when the Ottomans stormed the capital on 29 May, 1453 AD. It was not necessary for senators and emperors to come from Rome. Emperors and senators were often not from Rome.
@@maverick7291 Ignorant af. Do you think all Roman Emperors from antiquity were from the city of Rome? Really? Do you know where the "Optimus Princeps" Trajan was born? Spain. Constantine the Great, Illyria. All citizens of the Empire were Romans, you didn't have to be born in Rome to be a citizen, that's literally what the Social Wars were about and what the Edict of Caracalla extended to the entire Empire.
Why should the west care about byzantine views on medieval history? Seriously, how is it a conspiracy of silence to care little about foreign heretical perspectives on our own history. Goofy
nicely done!
"Hello we're going to Jerusalem!!!". "Pull over,we make a detour here to visit our orthodox brothers!!!".
This was an excellent video. Thank you!!
My favorite channel keeps them coming were still waitihg on the Polish and Haitian revolution that happened together
I believe that Bohemond of Taranto should be considered one of the greatest figures of the Medieval Ages. It should not be forgotten that the Crusaders reached the Holy Land primarily due to his exceptional successes in battles. Bohemond not only defeated Alexios multiple times during his father's invasion but also showcased his superior leadership and combat skills. While Alexios possessed various talents, he did not possess the same level of proficiency in leading and fighting as Bohemond. Moreover, Bohemond successfully established his own state and managed to hold onto it for a significant period, surpassing many of his colleagues. His accomplishments in carving out and maintaining a principality exemplify his political acumen and resilience. In my view, Bohemond of Taranto truly deserves recognition as one of the most exceptional figures of the Medieval Ages.
I was just thinking earlier how I would love a complete documentary on his complete life by K&G or Epic History
I feel like we should look at Bohemond and Alexios as another Tactics vs Strategy scenerio. Bohemond would win various battles, but Alexios would win wars.
@@KraNisOG exactly. Bohemond is a great commander but Alexios is a great Emperor.
@@KraNisOG Bohemond did win the only war that mattered at the time. The first crusade. And both the Byzantines and the crusaders were shatttered anyway. But the crusaders received way more spoils for it.
what a badass letter
Imagine a tv series on this timeline
To be "Roman" by a Byzantine you should be a native Greek speaker, from a native greek speaking background, inhabitant of traditional roman lands (south italy, greece, western anatolia, pontus, crete, Cyprus, the islands, and around Constantinople), to be an Orthodox Christian recognizing the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople as the Primate Bishop and to participate in the traditions and culture of the nation.
Actually no.Being Roman during the ''byzantine era'' meant that someone was a subject of the Emperor without making any difference if someone was Armenian,Slav,Arab e.t.c.
Many Emperors weren't even Greeks.
@@Kimmerios-l5u Actually no. The concept of ethnicity for the Eastern Romans was very much specific, especially after the 9th-10th century...
Slavs, Armenians, Arabs could be part of the empire but which ever individual was from this ethnic background was named in the sources as such (slav, armenian, arab) and not Roman.
I never said myself about the Greeks, you said it. For the Eastern Romans to be a real Roman (as part of this particular nation) was indeed to be a native Greek speaker from a native Greek speaking background, with the specific traditions and of course an Orthodox. That is undisputed. So, if you feel that this categorization means the Greeks, that's something I leave it to you. I just said what we see in the Byzantine sources.
@@Kimmerios-l5u Also, of course many Emperors weren't Greeks. As many emperors of the ancient Roman Empire weren't latins or even from the region of Italy.
The Eastern Roman Empire started as a multi ethnic empire and emperors could have been from any region.
By the 10th century, when the regios of the Levant, North Africa and Balkans was taken away, the empire did indeed became a very much homogenous state, with finally being mostly inhabited by people who considered themselves as the same nation. And the key points of this Roman nation is indeed the description I gave (which is from the Byzantine scholars).
@@vanmars5718 I like the term undisputed.
This means that everything you commented is not based in historical facts and it is an absurd conviction of yours and you just can't support your claims.
I also like that you used the term ''byzantine sources'' because no where it is said what you commented..
And of course everything I wrote is undisputed and it is based on byzantine sources that they were written in greek ...wich texts I can read them without translation.
@@Kimmerios-l5u The Byzantine (Roman) Bessarion, from Trebizond said “Our city prides itself on the origin of its race - if I must start by recounting it’s earliest history -that is to say it’s Attic mother-state” (Athens).
If you ever found ONE Byzantine source to call Slavs, Armenians or Arabs as "Romans" and not as Slavs, Armenians and Arabs with an explicit distinction that they were a different people then you should send to the Byzantine scholars today to publish such a outstanding discovery.
That was great I learned some new things I hadn't already read about.
Harran was ancient Carrhae. Interesting to see the same tactics being used in two battles at the same location over 1100 years apart...
Fantastic video, please make more like this!
im soooo happy with this video and what's coming next, most people just end the 1st crusade when they take Jerusalem, so happy you are going all the way through with the Jihad, cant wait
Bohemond was a brilliant leader and tactician, but he was against Alexios, and that made him a bit predictible
This looks like straight out of story or alternate history. Hell Bohemond here look similiar to Napoleon. I guess the humilation is such that the western Crusader chronicle reluctant to told the stories especially since Bohemond failed to achieved anything in his last Roman invasion
I guess that's why i only knew the end if rivalry between Bohemond and Alexios today

Thanks so much
Appreciate the reply
As Bohemond reveals in his letter, the capital was called Byzantion, Basileuousa and Polis by the Greek Rhomaioi rather than Constantinople.
B to the S. Open any eastern Roman textbook, you will find the term Constantinopolis as the predominant form of address for the city. The second most frequent term was "Nea Rome" or "Nova Roma". This means "New Rome". It is still the official address for the city today known as Istanbul, Turkey by the modern Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople. The term "Byzantion" is very seldom encountered in eastern Roman texts, it definitely was not widely used.
@@ΡωμαϊκόνΠύρ "Oh city of Byzantium" Niketas Choniates 12th century AD. Your turn.
@@Sp-zj5hw Let's repeat. The term "Byzantion" is very seldom encountered in eastern Roman texts, it is definitely not widely used. Only in a very select few texts such as the "Historia" of Niketas Choniates as you mention, will the term "Byzantion" be found. It's overwhelmingly referred to as Constantinopolis or New Rome by the eastern Romans. Even in Greece and Cyprus today, the term Constantinopolis is the most frequently used terminology for Istanbul, Turkey. "Byzantion" is not only a very uncommon term in the past, it is overwhelmingly uncommon today in the Greek-speaking world.
@@Sp-zj5hw > Verses funereal on the tomb of lord (kyr) Basil the Bulgar-slayer and emperor (basileus).
Other kings of old, other
burial places for themselves ordained,
But I, Basil, born to the purple,
place my tomb on the site of Hebdomon
and I sabbatize from the endless toils
which I accepted in battles, and which I endured.
For nobody saw my spear at rest,
from when the King of Heavens called me
autokrator of the earth and senior emperor.
but remaining vigilant through the whole span of my life
guarding the children of NEW ROME
when I marched bravely to the West (Hesperia),
and as far as the very frontiers of the East (Eos),
settling countless trophies all over the earth.
The Persians and Scythians (Bulgars) bear witness to this,
and along with them the Abasgian, Ishmael, the Arab, the Iberian.
And now, man, looking upon this tomb
reward my campaigns with prayers.

Please will you guys make a playlist of the music you use?
I love this channel.
thank you
Thanks
The Emperor essentially made Bohemond hold his belt loop.
You should add the estimated date or at least the year to the world map, so people can see in which time generals archived their goals. I think that's an important information for some viewers and it wont take much space in the picture.
It is in the top right corner...
@@KingsandGenerals You're right, I'm sorry. It was a long night playing strategy games and my brain must have searched another date format at another position or something. Superb video btw!
It would be interesting to see how history would have changed if the Byzantines had captured Antioch.
If the Byzantines controlled Antioch, i think Edessa doesn't fall to Zengi and the Second Crusade doesn't happen. This allows Manuel Komnenos to focus his attention on Anatolia instead of constantly worrying about invasions from the Latins. The amount of time and effort Manuel spent on Italy and Hungary is just absurd. I think this was primarily due to the experience of the Second Crusade.
Let’s not forget it was the latins who temporarily reversed manzikert so Byzantines controlling Antioch would have been easy for the Muslims
Robert of Normandy did not die in battle. He died, while in prison by his brother King Henry 1 of England at Cardiff Castle.
Question if anyone knows: Anna Komnene's recording of Bohemond's letter includes the phrase "until I plant my spear on Byzantium itself." Is that actually the word they would have used? I was taught that "Byzantine" and "Byzantium" didn't come into use until much later.
Well, before it was known and built to be Constantinople, that settlement was known as Byzantion to the Greeks and Romans.
It was used to refer to Constantinople and people from it by some Byzantine authors.
Byzantium is the ancient name for the city of Constantinople. So in reference to the city itself, not to the Empire as a whole, it's an ancient term that predates "Constantinople".
Nice. looking forward to more squabbles between the princes and the storm kicked up between Baldwin/Bertran vs Tancred.
wasnt Robert of Normandy captured and died is a castle in 80s robert curthose?

Bohemond died with respect and harmoniously after an adventurous life of battles !
No he didn’t.
Interesting how perceived heroes become villains.. losing their honour before their lives
Robert of Normandy died in the Tower of London
Actually, it was Cardiff Castle. But yes, he did die in captivity.
Let this be the definitive episode which proves that the First Crusade DOES NOT END IN ASCALON. Witness the epic rivalry between the champion of the Latin world vs the most cunning Eastern Roman Emperor. Bohemond literally played dead to get back home and get himself an army + a French princess.
THIS is what we should consider the third chronological crusade, one directly aimed at the destruction of Constantinople, one that most of you have never even heard about.
Say no to Eurocentric and lazy historians who give up the moment the famous monks stop writing about the crusade and say yes to one of the most exciting and tragic stories in human history
