Thanks so much for providing source material!
This channel is so top notch in every way
turks: "we need 25,000 cavalry to win this battle"
Christians: "80 Templar Knights have reinforced us, lets attack!"
The Knight Templars we’re definitely the special forces of their time. Awesome job as always
Well said, my friend. And thanks for the endorsement.
The templers couldn’t be stopped with a same amount against them
@@dissident_sojourner Dumbarse!
The Knights Templar were born in France and died in France, we have come full circle.

i gave a like even before i watched it hehe. The Knights Templars were like no other and fought till the last man. Mad respect for the templars
Well I appreciate that!
The templers thought in the worse situations even turning battles around or giving up there lives for others

Is it true the KNIGHTS TEMPLAR. one of them can defeat SUPERNATURAL FORCES and they are not afraid to battle EVIL SPIRITS
I'm generation 3 orphaned as tottler BECAUSE my knight's templar great grandfather's 8th duke argyll george campbell and italian-swiss banker adolph carl Von rothschild went to their deaths keeping their vow. Yet, miraculously both the gold temple treasures and the holy bloodline branches survived-- finally, its time for the knight's templar to finish our charge, duty. We will win. All prosper exceedingly and with honour to your family forever.
Templars were almost always executed after being taken prisoner because they were an army and each of them was a Rollo, highly trained and deadly and feared, any win against them was luck or just insane shear number advantage. Long live the memory of the templars, the finest soldiers europe ever produced int he old times
Have that sense of admiration aswell.
Richard the lion Heart,of that time
span,is well written of and believed
to be a military genius in every sense
of the word!
Where were they trained, for how long and by who?
Nuh uh.
@@michaelbruns449 this is "feudal" Europe, war was a constant since cave times, being noble was achieve by fidelity combine with prowess in the battlefields. Most kingdoms would have a designated battlefield spot, were different nobility houses within said kingdom, could battle their disagreements. They would start training at a very young age by older warriors of the same house.
Like polish hussars few centuries after defeated Muslims every single time. Respect
spoiling us with top tier quality videos and on the knights templar no less putting this on the playlist
People need to think like this....not necessarily the fighting part , but the battlefield mind.
It is not hard to believe how truly hopeless Gerard of Ridefort was and and what an absolute disaster he was for Christendom.
He sounds was an obvious traitor to me. I mean sabotage and betrayal is how the Umayyads invaded Spain so easily.
Truly remarkable and inspiring to hear a leprous sixteen year old king winning against all odds with fewer but determined troops 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Excellent documentary, as always on this channel. Brilliant artwork, computer graphics and presentation go together to make a compelling story of the power of the Templars in the Holy Lands. I am looking forward to a similar documentary about the Hospitallers, if possible. Thanks again for the excellent work.
The best history chanel on youtube!
In the southern regions of France, Richard Lionheart was nicknamed "Oc e Non" ("Yes and No" in Occitan language) for his supposed terseness.
He spoke little, but was precise enormously.
Then the campaign cutscenes of Richard the Lionheart's personality in 2003' "Empires: Dawn of The Modern World" were fairly accurate afterall. Cool content you should look it up.
@@TyranyFighterPatriot You come at the right time, since I recently put it in my shopping cart on GOG Galaxy ^^
I was looking for a game quite close to Age of Empire, or Empire Earth. However, I was just waiting for the end of the month to take it.
Amazing documentary 👏
Can only imagine all the hard work and research that went into this video.!!
Much appreciated all the way from Australia.!!
Thanks Aaron!
The Knights Templar: their horses fought in battle too. The horses were trained to Bite & Kick etc. the enemy!
Seems thoroughly researched, definitely a pleasure to watch for a history head.
The crusaders were so brave like Spartans,such great fighters
Brave like Spartans but, unlike them, they had something worthwhile to defend
@@gregntavlis6521 Spartans were defending the living hell they had crested in order to better defend it.
As fir Imaginary friends - as you choose to call it - the Spartans had quite a lot of them and also fought for them.
Finally, the Templars did go around murdering either.
When your mortal enemies write good things about you…they must be true
All the best to everyone
This is awesome! Ive been obsessed with KT since I was a kid. These men were a different breed, unlike anything in history. Incredible yet, sad story overall but, it is fascinating.
Well said sir
Sounds like you were there buddy!
@@swiftcee266 Ha Haa! You know, I try to put myself in what I think would be the mindset of these incredible people. Its totally unreal to try and understand it, Especially riding into battle on field filled with thousands of people, knowing there was a good chance your life was over. We dont go into battle like that anymore. Incredible...
@@swiftcee266 I mostly agree but then there are these strange phrases like
"They figured out War was profitable from the get go. They accumulated over a billion in todays money" - and yet they didn't fight for profit nor did they themselves profit from that money.
"and all this without phones or the Internet!" might be surprising to today's kids but not to anyone who can remember the 20th century.
"they effectively lost Outremer to Salah ad-Din" - so they alone lost Outremer? And I think the word you meant was "in effect".
@J Nix Yes, I am.
Christus Vincit Christus Regnat Christus Imperat!
I only don't understand why D. Afonso Henriques I of Portugal is mentioned only once as he was a Knights Templar King. Whole of Portugal from Arcos the Valdevez (North) until Lisbon (Middle) was conquered by Afonso I of Portugal and his brothers of the Knights Templar. Portugal was created by the The Knights Templar and the first King of Portugal D. Afonso Henriques I was raised as a Knights Templar from a very Young age after his father had died.
Excellent narrating of a well researched documentary of this most important part of our history
When you fight for something you believe, God gives you strength, even to die properly, in glory
A very informative video. You did such a good job. Thank you for this.
Thanks for checking it out.
Great work as always. I can't wait for the show brother.
Thank you! Same here!
This channel is a hidden gem
Awesome work. Wish it were longer!
I was looking for something good to watch tonight and this is perfect. Thanks!
Glad to hear it!
This was a really good video truly. Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us & keep up the great work 👍🏻
thank you Ronnie!
@@RealCrusadesHistory No thank you for all your dedicated work. I work on the night shift so I watch the videos a couple hours late on the same day you post them.
Amazing Presentation. Next can you please do a video about the native Armenian and Lebanese Maronite Chirstians who helped the Latin Crusaders.
So psyched about this. Great topic.
Seems weird... Gerard makes his way into the Templars, quickly becomes grandmaster. Then is one of only 3 survivors in a massacre... Then goes on to encourage another massacre. If I was a conspiracy theorist I'd be suspicious this guy was somehow working against the order. What a coincidence he managed to survive. What are the odds?
Gerard of Ridefort was incompetent, a coward, and a hypocrite. Gerard violated the Templar vow to not be ransomed. He allowed himself to be held prisoner rather than be executed as the other Templars were that were captured during the Battle of Hattin.
After his release he was captured in 1189 at the Battle of Acre and then executed.
Might of decided better to keep him alive because an incompetent enemy is the best enemy
Generals are always promoted by who they know, not what they do. Incompetence is not a barrier to that. Gerard was obviously one of those with good connections.
33/1 ?
They slaughtered Muslims Fraulein 💯🤗🤗🤗🤗4
I love these long format videos
This , I really enjoyed . Brilliant narration and great use of graphics, made this story really come to life. Thank you for your upload of this great video. 👍🙏
Thank you very much!
This channel is awesome, thank you and keep it the good work! 👍🏻
Glad you enjoy it!
Once again you have out done yourself. Excellent video! Keep them coming.
Thanks, will do!
I love the Templars. Looking forward to new content
The brothers that became even more
intriguing to me were in the Indiana
jones movie,where Indi or junior
and his dad set out to find the
Holy grail,and take part in the
adventure of a life time.
Loved the quote in
particular
“Mr Jones my soul
is ready,is yours”?
The brothers in that
particular movie were
members of a secret
order,it’s left open
as to who they
were.Unclear
as to whether
they were
Templars
or not!
This channel is amaizing,I learn from here more than from school or tv,and topic is one of my favorite,Templar knights👍
What wonderful narration! 👍
Absolutely loved this video, the medieval period and the crusades are my favourite period of all Christian history.
A fantastic video! Great from start to finish!
Thanks!
I have always loved military history also history in general and a few years back I found out I was related to the second leader of the Templar knights Jacques De Molay.
jacques de molay is the last grandmaszer not the second one
OK
What an amazing,discovery.
To me it seems that for as long
as they were imbued with
humility as the soldiers of
Peter,they were practically
unstoppable.When they
succumbed to idolatry,
it was their near death
knell! To me the piece
of engineering that
strikes a note every
time,is the incredible
tunnel they made
at Acre! Still there
today and an
inspiration for
any future
students of
engineering!
My great grandfather way down the line was the man who gave Hugues de Payens blessing to start the Order.
@@thewarriorwounds3124 How amazing,personally
I thank God that my grandfather on my fathers
side survived World War One,and the battle of
Ypres in particular,otherwise I wouldn’t be
responding to you now!
Absolutely love this channel 👌
This is an amazing work. I love crusading history. I realy want to visit the holy land one day. Like no joke I want to visit. But also stay there for a while realy take my time seeing the world over there.
Well researched with amazing detail...thank you for that highly entertaining presentation! I wish we had you as our tour guide in '97 when I got to visit Israel, including Horns of Hattin battlefield and Belvoir Castle...
Wow, thank you!
Very detailed, love the editing
Glad you liked it!
Warrior Saints their spirit lives on forever
Like that thought,
a good one to
hold on to!
Hopefully we see a video on the Hospitallers and Tuetonic Knights.
This was a really good video turly. A very informative
Glad you liked it
@@RealCrusadesHistory thank you
Can’t wait for this one 😁
I find the legend about Templars being present on the Banockburn battle fascinating, not real evidence for it but still fascinating.
Always liked that legend
aswell,and the famous
freedom quote”they
fought not for fame
nor for riches or
praise,
but for freedom
which no good
man,lays down
but with his
life”!
The quote is
engraved on
the stone
beneath the
horse clad
statue of
Bruce!
Wow that was good! Thank you👍
@Real Crusades History Can you do a summary video on Easter worship during the Crusades? You already did a Christmas version 2 years back.
loved the animation
Very informative. By the way, what´s the soundtrack starting at 50:08?
Edit: already got it, its MeanMachineDean by ViKal
So I got my genealogy done and this “Norman Family” is NOT hyperbole. I’m distant cousins with all these Norman heroes with a nice sprinkling of direct ancestors mixed in. William the Conqueror is likely in your family tree if you have Norman ancestry. He’s a direct ancestor to a massive number of Europeans alive today.
Love it, very educational.
Praise Jesus!
awesome video enjoyed alot and nice use of total war haha
Thanks!
Well done.
Thanks!
excellent
nice works.
Thanks!
The Battle of Arsuf was very similar in ways to the Battle of Montgisard, in that precisely timed charges by the mounted knights, acting in coordination with highly professional and excellent infantry troops, routed the Ayyubin army under Saladin. The difference to the Battle of Hattin couldn't have been greater - there the exhausted and thirsty infantry - many non- professionals put together from the villagers of the Kingdom of Jerusalem - panicked during the march on Hattin and fled to the hills, leaving the knights to fight it out alone, highly outnumbered and equally exhausted through lack of water and the terrible heat of the day. These battles show both the best and worst of crusader armies at war in the Holy Lands.
Amazing video keep it up👍
Will do my friend thanks for stopping by!
Its not the size of the dog in the fight but size of the fight in the dog.
Ave Maria!
Embrace the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ! ♥️
Fantastic video, boy do I love my ancestors..KFFK
Hola battle for Las Navas De Tolosa in the Iberian peninsula is the most important battle ever fought in the defense of Christianity, by the DON TEMPLARIOS . Saludos pavelavietor1 visigoth1 iberian1
Thanks for stopping by!
@@RealCrusadesHistory hello I like battles. Saludos
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@RealCrusadesHistory Deep family history involved. My ancestor died at Hattin the holder of the True Cross, as one example. PAX
What is this incredible music?! Psychedelic garage rock Christic prog?! It sounds like Vangelis
The pieces in between is a track called "Yggdrasil" from Roman Lion: ua-cam.com/video/VAvEC9LC3V8/v-deo.html
I wish they would make a movie about the black prince awesome died young but what a legend
Can someone please tell me what he uses to render the animation? Is it a screen grab of a game? Or is it a cgi program? If it's a game, I really wanna play it. Reminds me of Rome: total war.
I think it's a total war game
Nice videos as always, I was wondering what game is that??
Total war ,,mtw2
Amen
As Knights, they were awarded castles and property such as Blenkensopp Castle.
good video
loved the animation ..better than Nothing
Hi. What game graphics are used in this video documentary thanks.
I beleive a video game or rendering system called total war
Hype!
What game was used for the battle footage?
56:47 ❤💚
Should add that after the Pope and the King of France disbanded (killed) the Templars they found a home in Scotland and fought with Robert the Bruce against the English at Bannock burn a battle that once and for all sent the English home to think again 👍
The land of Scotland is richly blessed
with the stone of scone,and other
amazing stories.
Have no difficulty believing
that a remnant of mighty
Crusaders appeared
at BannockBurn and
helped to turn
the tide of
History!
Europe's greatest army was routed by an army 1/3 the size,the remnants of the templars were in Scotland and Portugal ,Earl Orkney knew about Arcadia and so did the templars ,the freemasons were formed in Kilwinning one of the templars resting places.
Alba gu brath.
what about the norwegian crusades? (sigurdr the crusader)

Imagine wear that armour v and fighting in the heat of north Africa.
I'm more surprised the horses didn't just collapse from heat stroke since they are known to be very sensitive to overheating especially in dry and hot terrains.
To be fair if you look up average temperatures in the Isrealish area, which is where most of this happens it isn't as hot as everyone thinks it is. Yes it CAN get very hot, but that's usually only during the summer which is NOT when most battles were fought unlike in Europe. Dry is the bigger killer........since of course anything military related will make you hot and dehydrated despite the weather. Before the modern era they generally went on campaign seasonally around the world. There were exceptions of course.
What do you use to make your videos? Is it a pc game?
Total war
the world would be a beautiful place if Outreamer existed today.
Is this Warband footage? If so you are my hero.
It's not its Total War. But I want to start using warband. I believe they've got a new medieval mod right?
@@RealCrusadesHistory I've only ever been able to play vanilla on PS4, but if you look at some of the mods that Warband has you can make some really fine content with that. I believe the sequel, bannerlord, also has some really cool mods that replicate some of the stuff you show here. Either way you should try and if you haven't already. I'm writing a book right now and I found that game while doing my research and it turned into one of my all-time favorites. Quick edit, also what you could do with either warband or bannerlord is you could show first person footage fighting Saracens. Your video is already fantabulous and I could not make it any better, but I think that would be a really cool addition.
Optimum!.
How long does it take to make this?
That's a question.
Templar here :)
Peace.
A truly remarkable Catholic heritage❤🙏

There is Chatolic religion
But there is only one faith and that is Christianity.
@@NoOne-rg7tthe could be talking simpl about the knights templar, a Roman Catholic Military organization
I see you play Medieval Total War II a lot ^^
It's a good game
@@josephippolito7693 It is a reference in strategy games.
@@tibsky1396 No he's said plenty in the past that he never played games. These are content from supporters of this channel.
If France didn't deplete their war chest fighting England, and they both fought together in the beginning, there would have been no need for the Crusades..
too. Never had a large standing army.
What’s the game in the background
I beleive total war
Great video, it seems Saladin was a coward. A real tale of quality over quantity...Crusaders seemed to always be outnumbered
I am here 😌
