They were protecting their families, their life, their king & their house & lands. More is at stake. Im tracing my surname and it points me to the basque, nobility and coat of arms, asturias, hidalguia/heraldry records, military order of Santiago etc. its no longer an issue if you are coming from a noble family or not during these fights for Spanish lands to gain. They have to win. im glad my grand pops centuries old won 😊
@@andreydragomirov8559 no, it's correct. The literal translation of "Caballero villano" is "villain knights", although it comes from "from the villa" and doesn't have a negative meaning this time.
Nice documentary! I grew up in Chicago dreaming of the middle ages.and El CID, now I live in Zaragoza, Aragon and I have to say it's just magical to have so much history around me! There is a castle in every village and tons of famous places related to the Reconquista. I even have a pass which is called "El camino del Cid" where you follow the route he took when he was kicked out of Castile on his way to Valencia. it's just wonderful to experience all those historic places. The middle ages have always been by far my favorite time in history! Keep up the good work!
This would work well as a video game concept, work your way up the ranks, collect gear, go on a variety of missions and reclaim the map. Hopefully a bannerlord mod will be made about this.
I'm not sure if you're making a reference or being serious but kingdom come deliverance is a good example of that you mentioned. But more games like that would be great.
Castile in the High Middle Ages was kind of unique. They not only had villain knights, some territories (behetrías) could choose their own lord whenever they wanted, and make justice according to their customs (fazañas). Of course, all of this has been used by ideologists of Modernity to distort the past.
Could I ask in what way have modern people misinterpreted these practices to distort the past? And for what reasons have they distorted the past? Genuinely curious! Thanks.
@@dangerdan2592 Back in the nineteenth century some -if not all- historiography was romanticized. Castile was a paradise of freedom, equality, and even democracy, along with the revolt of the comuneros (for some reason). A perfect model for masonic lodges, some liberals and especially republicans of Spain. So obsessed they were with that idea of Castile that they took castilian symbols (or what they thought they were) to make theirs. For example the colour purple in some masonic lodges (incorrectly since that was not castilian), the mural crown in the First Republic (I don't know why that crown was associated with republics; Sancho the forth was buried with one like that), and in the Second Republic both the purple and the crown. In its Constution it was acknowledged the relation with Castile. Of course, there are people now who believe this. And not only in Castile. In Leon for example some like to say they had the first form of democratic parlamentarism, the 'Democratic Courts of Leon'.
Nor should we forget as a democratic antecedent the Castilian "concejos abiertos" (open councils). In them, only the male neighbors could vote, but everyone had the right to have their government proposals and complaints exposed. Women, foreigners, Jews, slaves ... were to be heard.
Good video, as is customary on your channel, but we must not forget the good role played by the infantry in the border raids: the "almogávares" were a kind of special operations corps of the Spanish Middle Ages. Made up of shepherds accustomed to the harsh life of the border, they were able to enter enemy territory without provisions or any support of supplies, feeding only on game and wild grasses, hitting the enemy very hard by surprise, and retiring before they could react. . After the Reconquista, the Aragonese "almogávares" played a very good role in Italy, Greece and the Holy Land, assisting fortresses without siege equipment or defeating the French heavy cavalry in pitched battle. COULD DEDICATE YOUR NEXT VIDEO, I think his heroic memory deserves it. Greeting.
I love medieval Spain, you see ive loved this type of history compared to any other history, why because im a huge fan of fantasy genre, anime, and video games. Allot of these people reminded me of these stories, these anime, and these video games, the entirety of the reconquista was like a fantasy story but in real life. What also blows my mind is allot of JRPG have allot stuff such as architecture, weapons and so much more was inspired by mostly medieval spain. Its a very interesting topic to research about and ive loved this historical topic so much ive been writing this story that takes place in 1236 Spain and explores more of the history, culture, and so much more.
Very interesting video, how would they have compared in combat to the mounted sergeants or half knights found in other countries and socially as well as tactically to the Ministeriales or Dienstleute of the Holy Roman Empire?
18th/19th century, the common people who alongside the nobility rose up and fought against the tyranny and oppression of the Republics were branded brigantes/villains by the Republican/Liberals/ Jacobins
Always super interesting, after hearing the first minute i was "Oh, a harsh borderland which sees lot of actions? Surely the Normans would had like to have a duchy there with the local Spanish Villain Knights" I then remembered there was actually a Norman Principality: Principality of Tarragona *Normans arriving to Iberia* Chers amis, can we join the Party of the Reconquita?
Thank you for this topic. My interests are sparked...I believe it's time to do some self satisfying research into the rise of men who weren't born noble.
Medieval social mobility is pretty interesting from what little I've read. As I understand it, in Anglo Saxon England you could start out as a slave and move up to being a nobleman just based on how many cows you owned. That's probably an oversimplification but I feel like any efficient society is going to allow the smart and strong people to filter to the top.
Peasant knights could be found in other parts of Europe too. In Germany in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, most of the knights were unfree ministeriales - serfs who had been elevated to knighthood/ administrative positions by kings, bishops and counts, but remained legally unfree which made them easier for their lords to control. Not that that was always the case though - in Flanders, a clan of ministeriales, the Erembalds, came to dominate the city of Bruges and when Count Charles the Good threatened to return them to their peasant origins they murdered him in Bruges cathedral in 1127. Indeed, knights in the eleventh century were generally considered not to be noble, and knighthood and nobility would not become fully intertwined until around 1180 - William Marshal seems to have been a very important figure in this process, at least for the Angevin realms. The Latin word for knight that you see in eleventh century charters was "miles", coming from the ancient Roman term for soldiers and the Vulgate Bible's "militia", meaning service. Similarly, the English word knight comes from the old English word cniht, meaning servant. Most eleventh century knights, if they owned land, were hardly better off than the wealthier peasants - all that really differentiated them from them is that they possessed mail hauberks, swords and horses. And if they didn't own land they were essentially just professional soldiers, paid sometimes with wages, that were permanently attached to the king's household - the "familia regis" of the Anglo-Norman kings is exemplary of this, and was a sort of miniature standing army (certainly the closest thing the Anglo-Norman kings had to one). It seems very clear that these men were not of the same "class" as the nobles, though no concrete legal definition of nobility would exist until the thirteenth century, and knighthood was something that nobles came to increasingly embrace themselves from their lowborn followers as the high middle ages wore on.
Castille came from Bardulia and the way they govern themselves as well as the fact that they were all low nobility and warriors is the same as the old Laws of Guipuzcoa
But, the whole concept of medieval nobility was in general terms, tax exemption in exchange for professional military service (all though it had much older roots). You did not even have to be free to be noble, during one period, the majority of the Holy Roman Empire's nobility was unfree, they were ministeriales. And reading about these caballero villano, it seems that they were by some metrics considered lower nobles during the High Middle Ages, all though the class started off as non-nobles towards the end of the Early Middle Ages. Not entirely dissimilar from the ministeriales of the Holy Roman Empire, who were non-nobles during the Early Middle Ages, but during the High Middle Ages became nobles, yet unfree. During the Iron Age, we also have socially high-status warriors, but who were judicially unfree. In Medieval Latin Europe, most nobles were not rich magnates, but decently well off professional warriors, yet a great number of them could they could still often be quite poor. The average noble family also lasted only for three generations during this period, there was a lot of social mobility, despite popular belief. So most were not the ancient absolute top of the top of society, but socially they were considered to be of the same class. Even though you may be recently ennobled, judicially unfree and with barely anything to your name, you were at least in theory, considered to some extent to be of the same "kind" as even the Emperor himself. The Middle Ages were not a plutocratic society, many wealthy merchants of rich towns were richer than many nobles. What tends to confuse people a bit, is that in modern British: "nobility" tends to only mean people who hold a peerage, while the lower nobility is instead called the: "landed gentry". But this is a very recent development. Traditionally, and internationally, nobility includes the whole package, not just the peerage.
good evening. would you be able to tell me how common the Great helm was in the iberian peninsula ? mostly in the 13th century battles of the reconquista. just how common it was to see a knight wearing the great helms in the battlefields
Laraik That's a really good question. The only difference I can think of off the top of my head is the Spanish Knightly Orders had different patron saints than the ones in the Holy Land (the Templars had Solomon as their patron saint and the Hospitallers had Saint John The Baptist, for example).
The Spanish Orders (in the old sense of "Iberian") are: -Orden de Calatrava (Castile: it's the oldest one). -Orden de Santiago (Leon: the most important one). -Orden de Alcántara (Leon). -Orden de Montesa (Aragon: they were templars refugees). -Orden de Cristo (Portugal: they were templars refugees). They still exist today (well, the portugues one was reformed). A familiar of mine is knight of two orders.
Strictly speaking, a peasent could become a knight by being knighted and so, was a knight . But he correctly points out that this was complicated in Spain and elsewhere. While the Reconquista was different for all the reasons he correctly points out, peasent knights weren't unknown through Europe. But there were buts. A knight required a horse, arms and armour- and all three were expensive. For Reconquista Spain, the fact that most villein knights were light cavalry worked perfectly. Elsewhere in Europe, knights were expected to be heavy cavalry.
In Portugal, they were called coteifes. The poetry of the time portraits them as long-bearded, long-haired and pusilanimous. They fought as men-at-arms along with knights (which were very few) and squires (which were a social class on their own, not restricted to the function of helping the knights). They were more associated to freemen, such as urban craftsmen. Real peasants, on the other hand, became besteiros do conto.
I think hidalgo was a bit different , it's from hijodalgo or "son of something" , meaning son of someone distinguished in battle , and it was hereditary , so a villa knight could grant the title to his descendants , but he had to be "something"
@@RealCrusadesHistory Quite the opposite. The order was created and bestowed on the women who had taken up weapons, like hatchets and other potentially lethal agricultural implements, to defend the city when not enough men were available. They succeed, of course. They might not have been "professional" warriors, but earned that honour by fighting. No one else was ever admitted into the order, which is assumed to have been extinguished when the last of those women died. It's highly unlikely the vast majority of them were noble.
The Normans didn't take part in the Reconquista. It was done by Visigoths, who were the most numerous of the people that reconquered Hispania, Basques, Cantabrians, and Asturians, predominantly from the people of the peninsula that were the ones who carried out the Reconquista.

Yes, but they weren't warriors. It was basically an order of noble women.
