Our narrative continues into the time of Saladin! Please remember to share on social media and spread word about the podcast! It's because of all you lovely people in the audience, that this channel just hit 100k!!! Thank you for that! Per the last poll, the next video will be on the Third Crusade!
Thank you for the quality content over the years now! 100k wa slong overdue glad that box is ticked next up is 200k. Great video as always, the Righteous of the Faith was one of a kind especially for the age.
Oh you know I am going to share the living daylights out of the video (after I watched it😂).
As always, I have people screaming on discord for your videos. 😉
And one final time congratulations on 100k subs. 🥳
Welcome Back!!
Very nice content as your other videos I hope you will continue this type of quality content in future. I liked your video very much. But bro you are underrated you deserve more. And many many congratulations for 100k.
congrats and looking forward to the next 0
Congratulations on 100k subscribers man! Interesting video too :)
Fancy seeing the mad lad here!! I love your channel man!
@@monsignor2943 Thanks man
OMG! Epi!! So good to see you here. Thanks about the 100k. Congrats to you as well - your channel exploded !
Great to see this thanks so much it’s a dreamland of history from you guys when I was a little lad I wished people were into history like this and now I see there are more then I thought and that makes me feel good inside
23:37 Great use of foreshadowing there! Yep Italians never forget, trust me cuz my Italian girlfriend always brings up the fact that I broke pasta noodles in half before boiling them and as a result I’m not allowed to cook pasta anymore!
hahaha - it sets the stage for the 4th crusade. You broke the noodles?! No cooking - ONE YEAR!
Thousands of years of fighting... today's fight is fueled by yesterdays passions... and always at the behest of those in charge to the detriment of those who fight. I loooove this channel
Happy that you liked this one
You have completely captivated me and brought history to life. These are THE best documentaries ever
I love getting comments like this - If I can invigorate an appreciation for history in another I find this YT endeavor worth while
I'm very much enjoying the clever usage of Crusader Kings 3 character art ^_^
KnowHistory graciously made those renders for me - thats the only down side to having a Mac, gaming is limited
Damn, great series. I actually went from the first about the Punic Wars to this one. The writing was great on both but the production value of these newer ones is vastly improved. Very glad I found this channel. I already watched most of Kings and Generals and Fall of Civilizations. Tearing through Flashpoint History now, lol. Thanks for the great content!
Wow those are some great channels to be mentioned in. I know some of the guys over at K&G - good group. I'm always trying to up my game - happy that you like the content. Going from punic wars to this is like going from iPhone 6 to 12. I had upgraded my computer, my software, learned animation techniques etc.
This 100k looks sweet. Happy to be a part of so many journeys with you all.
Thanks!
As time has went on your Videos have improved in quality so much. The little details of words bieng highlighted as they are spoken, Animated Maps, Excellent music, etc etc say a lot about the level of dedication you have to this channel. 👍
splendid, as usual. i've read that Manuel Komnenos, in the eventuality that he would die with no male heir, promised his eldest daughter, Maria Komnenos's hand in marriage to the future king of Hungary, Bela III. he was brought to Constantinople to be educated in the matters of the state, but... all this was undone by the birth of his son Alexios. what was supposed to be a triumph for the continuation of the Komnenos dynasty resulted in the destruction of the empire.
SALADIN united the entire world of his people. AMAZING MAN and the actor who played him should have won an Oscar not so much for what he said ,but for what he did not say-just implied. If he rises again, and he will. As a war historian I believe it is inevitable. Great man Great General Great Leader of his people. GREAT MOVIE!!!
Well said
You deserve 1,000,000 subs. I always look forward to your vids and you never disappoint.
Thank you so much James!
I'm from iraq and I live in baghdad I once visited one of the castles of nur al din (saladin's sovereign), fun fact one of the eighteen of iraq's districts is called saladin's district its capital is tikrit.

A video about the mamluke empire they were truly the foremost military power of their time they never lost a battle until the age of gunpowder they managed to defeat a massive crusaders-mongol armies on multiple occasions
They were the only ones that could really stop the Mongols - and were not taken out until the time of Napoleon
Best and most underrated history channel on YT… I LOVE FLASH POINT HISTORY
hahah - thank you so much Ed!
This series is fantastic. Thanks a lot for your hard work
Thank you!!
Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb. English speakers may not get it but this name sounds magnificent "Literally" in native language. The only other one I can think of to have such a feeling is Heyraddeen Barbarrossa.
Ps. I am an Urdu/Sindhi speaker.
I find it interesting that so many people followed that naming convention. Salah Ad-Din, Nur Ad-din, baha Ad-din. For any one wondering "Ad-Din" means of 'Of the Faith/religion' so Salah Ad-din means 'Righteousness of The Faith'
@@FlashPointHx You say that and my Grandfather's name is Shams ud Din which means "Light of the Faith".
I know someone called Muhyideen, ‘reviver of religion’.
Off topic, nice PFP, where is that symbol from?
@@BoqPrecision Assassins Creed 4.
I have never met a person in my life who didn’t know who Saladin was-Whether mentioned intentionally or by chance.He is simply the most famous Muslim who ever lived after the age of the early Islamic conquests.
Amazing video as usual! The progress in quality of this channel is exponential
Always looking to up my game
The quality of your videos makes you one of the best (if not the best) among history channels. Congrats with 100k!
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks for such a detailed history, I felt as if I was present in those days,I love history,God bless.
Thanks for listening
Thank you for the awesome videos. I like watching them and am excited to see what happens next. (My son wanted to send you a comment this time. We both love your videos!)
That is truly amazing! Please tel your son - thank you for watch and I’m so happy that you like my video. The next one is one king Richard - working on it now :)
Flash Point History that is awesome!(from Teddy, working on typing skills and expression, so thanks for the reply!)
No homo but.... your narration is why I CAME, but I stayed for the facts 💯
Congrats on finally reaching 100k subscribers! What a journey hopefully the road to 1 million doesn’t take as long!
UA-cam seems to be a snowball kind of thing - the slope of growth seems always be increasing - btw - don't break those noodles =)
So well done - This series is excellent. Looking forward to the next episode.
Thanks !
Thank you for another awesome podcast
Great stuff, you deserve more views and subs man
I appreciate that!
You've got some of the best history content out there. I've been following you since Cannae, and it's great to see you hit 100k subscribers. You should be proud. ;)
Much appreciated! Wow that's a massive commitment
Thanks a lot for this new videos, amazing as usual, so excited to watch the next
All the best ❤️
Gonna start on it tomorrow
This is more enjoyable than anything I've watched about history ❤️ you're amazing
Given my avid youtube watching includes many history based channels the algorithm brought me to this channel. You're great. I have watched this series, the punic wars and rlthe reconquista. Subbed immediately and shared you with a few nerd friends. (Polishes my fingernails on my shirt) yup, got you over the 100k mark. Thank me later. Lol. Keep up the great work, and great job to you and your team.
hahahah - Thanks Adam - couldn't have made it to 100k without you. Thanks for sharing. Btw no team just a one man show.
Great video, looking forward to what's coming next.
Richard is in bound!
Thank you, awesome as always , a new one to watch at least 5 times, love your vids. & Voice
Glad you like them! Happy that you like the voice as well =)
This adds great context to the kingdom of heaven movie. The backstory now everything and all the characters make sense. Thank you. RH DSD
You are so welcome !
Awesome video. So much of history just seems to repeat itself in some way. All that fighting when the civilizations of that time had so much else to offer humanity. Such a shame.
Another excellent video. Once again, thank you for your excellence and hard work.
You’re so welcome Luis!
Congratulations on 100k! You'll keep rising with this level of quality :)
Thank you very much! Yeah I love the video animation portion of this
Excellent content as usual. Can’t wait for the next video. 👍
More to come!
good episode. looking forward to next one
Bruh you has come a long way since I saw your first few videos. Quality is mind blowing
Thank you - I'm always striving to up my game =)
awesome another great video bro! keep up the great work!
Appreciate it!
This channel deserves 1 million subs not 100 k...
Hope you reach the golden million soon!!
Thank you - I just hit 100k and am grateful for that - 1 M will come =)
@@FlashPointHx I'm truly sad that many stupid channels get tons of subs and views while astonishing channels like yours and others presenting top class professional documentaries with a better quality than what we see on TV don't get that much views...
But I believe you'll get there eventually. I'm really happy about the 100 k subs. Congratulations!!
Once again hats off to you. I really loved how u connected rise of Salahud Din with Byzantine empire and Constantinople. Congrats for 100k subs you really deserve it
Thanks a ton - appreciate that!
Awesome video, liked it so much 👍
Thanks!
Fantastic, the artwork and maps are just awesome 👌
Glad you like them! Thanks !
Thank you so much ❤️ once again!
I always find it darkly amusing how rivals to historical figures tend to die a sudden illness in the chronicles. I'm sure thats how they wanted it remembered in history.
Thanks for your hard work, im about to pour a drink and enjoy.
This one killed me to make. Think I'll be joining you on that =)
Great Channel King!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
How am I so late to the party? Made sure to turn on my notifications so I'm not so again. Love the content Flash Point you're the best!
I wonder about the notification system that YT has. Happy you got a chance to see this!
@@FlashPointHx It's very inconsistent with channels I have notifications for. And I'm fairly positive I had notifications set for on with you already. I've always heard that the system is far from perfect.
Your series on Byzantium is a masterpiece.
Appreciate that - I really like how this series is coming out!
Congrats on 100k!
Thank you Schmidy!!
Yes congrats to 100K subscribers!
Kingdom of Heaven recap. I have not seen a video for the Battle of Montisgard. I love seeing the lesser known parts of the Crusades like Inab.
Thanks Matt!! Now looking forward to a quarter million subs!
Great! looks like we have part 7 tonight!
yup - let me know what you think
I love it! thank you for your hard work as always
Thank you! Highly underrated channel!
Happy you liked the content Taylor!
@@FlashPointHx cheers mate!
Yes. These videos never fail to deliver.
Thanks! Love the Transformer symbol!
@@FlashPointHxNo Problem. I have head the symbol for years.
@@hassanrao3576 I got a T shirt - but with the AutoBot symbol
@@FlashPointHx Aww Man. I wish you had the Decepticon symbol.
Great video! Loving the series so far and where it's going. Side note: I really hoped that you wouldn't make the mistake of bringing up Saladin's sister as a the reason for Saladin's war with the kingdom of Jerusalem as it's probably apocryphal,
and is only mentioned in one French source while all other sources including Islamic ones deny or do not even mention this incident.
I've seen this reference in a lot of books that I've read.
Great work !
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent as always 😊
Appreciate that !
Good stuff
cant wait for the next one!
Gonna start on it tomorrow!
A great piece of art as always. A channel like yours deserves much more subscribers and views. Could you tell me which Soundtrack you used at the end ? I couldn’t find it on the linked channel.
My second question would be if you are already planning on doing another series.
I got the song from premium beats - its called 'Chasing Time Theme' - I intend to finish this series and then the reconquista before moving on to the Aztec / Inca
I love your videos Flash Point and keep up the good work.
Thanks a ton!
Amazing work again please keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Very informative, enjoyed it defiantly made more interested to know Saladin.
Yeah he was an interesting guy - fierce general, astute politician, and yet he had a humble side to him
Congrats on hitting 100K. I appreciate the work you put and the changes as your channel grows.
If possible do something on the mamluks especially the early mamluks. Their slaves to royalty story fascinates me
Maybe after I get this Constantinople series done
Congratulations on 100k subscribers.
Thank you! Appreciate it - Like your name btw
another great video
Hey Mel, thanks!
Raynald de Chatillon seems to have done more damage to the Crusader cause than their enemies did. He had already proven himself to be a liability by raiding Byzantine Cyprus, marrying the princess of Antioch against her subject's wishes, then torturing the city's Patriarch into giving him funds.
By all accounts Saladin was an honourable man. He may have intended to attack Jerusalem at some point, regardless of Raynald's actions, but he seems to have honoured truces. Breaking the truce by raiding caravans was a stupid move, especially given the strength of the Ayyubid empire.
After refusing to make reparations to Saladin, King Guy of Jerusalem should have cut Raynald loose and told Saladin to attack him and take Kerak castle for compensation. Maybe that would have prevented the loss of Jerusalem; at the least it would have given the Crusaders more time.
Great episode as always, I look forward to the next one. It's not often in history when a military genius meets his match.
Awesome comment - I agree Raynald was a hot head and while he was utilized well for his aggressive stance - especially at the Battle of Montgisard - he would eventually cross the line at some point. As for the what's coming up next - again, spot on - rarely do two great generals in history meet like this.
Raynald is like ISIS in the muslim world. ISIS cause more damage to other muslim than American.
This is amazing!
Thank you!
God I love this channel!!
Thanks! Happy that you liked the video so much!
Wow you really worked hard on your video's!
Yeah I did- these kill me to make - but its a labor of love
@@FlashPointHx and in what order should i watch your Reconquista videos
@@MohammedAasimFlims Go to my channel home page, hit the playlist and watch War of the Worlds in its entirety
If the video in which Saladin dies is not called "Salad-OUT" I'll be pissed.
Wow thats worse than most dad jokes
@@FlashPointHx Hahahaha... my dad's are bad enough, I tell you.
May Allah make a new IN for A Muslim leader and sends a new Saladin to kick Zionists out of Jerusalem as Saladin who pissed you ( and I'm happy with that) did with the crusaders.
@@mohamedbayoumy832 The troll has landed.
THE battle of marjaaoun in 1179 was a revenge of saladin upon the crusaders
I like those *No Water* icons.
Png tree - good source for those icons
Very informative, enjoyed. Also ordered James Reston book Warriors of God.
Ha! That’s awesome. Think he’s a great writer.
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night
@@FlashPointHx so both are right? Istanbul and Constantinople? 🤔👀
this is so good.
Thanks - happy you liked it
10/10 awesome thank you
You're welcome! Happy that you like the content John
100k congratulations
Thank you so much!
YAAAAAASSSS!!! Well done!
Thanks!!
We are all waiting the next episode, missing it
Working on it now =) I'm in health care and with covid surging time is a bit limited these days
@@FlashPointHx so sorry to hear that I hope everything is gonna be fine and we are all here waiting, stay strong 💪
Man congrats on the 100k I was from apex that you played with a little ago
Hey !! I remember that ! Thanks
I based the siege of Jerusalem shots on the film "Kingdom of Heaven", well a 5-minute clip I found on youtube as I've never watched it lol :L
I'm sending you funds just so that you can buy that film - Directors Cut Blue ray! Do it - YOUR WELCOME ahead of time =)
idk if torrents are legal in your country but in eastern europe you can get any movie for free basically, also coincidentally theres a 1 and half minute clip on my channel I made recently with Kingdom of heaven
@@MrProtopopescovici I think you can use short clips - but I still don't want to risk it.
Ah, a history well told-
Thanks!
I just finished the 6th part like an hour ago. This video is godsent
Wow - nice timing huh?
@@FlashPointHx couldnt be better
Great work there my friend. There's another narration about the relationship between Saladin and Nureddine. It was a great relationship till the end of Nureddine's life. And Saladin wanted to be a vassal for Nureddine's son as he was for his father but the son was young and influenced by his masters who wanted to take over his empire.
You hit the nail on the head - that was the breaking point
@@FlashPointHx well done bro. I share a similar content to yours but in Arabic and I learn a lot from your channel. Let me know if there's a possibility for a collaboration.
Fantastic episode
I wonder what would have happened if my fellow German, the great Barbarossa had made it to Jerusalem alive. The Lionheart and Barbarossa together may have been the victors in that crusade
They would have likely crushed Saladin - Barbarossa was fierce and in a book I read about the Islamic prospective of the crusades - the Saracen were sacred to death of the Germans who were regarded as a "particularly powerful frank"
@@FlashPointHx They were indeed ferocious and able warriors.
@@FlashPointHx "Saracen" is a racist term just as "Orientals" is. Hopefully you can better educate yourself on the usage of such terms.
How is your stuff soooo good
Hahah - thanks Jeff - take it you liked this one as well
Unfortunately, you failed to mention the whole point behind the crisis between saladin and his overlord nureddin, that was the declaration of Egypts return to the Abbasid Caliphates nominal suzerainty, and declare the end of the Fatimids
Great series , a question : will you stop at the 4th crusade or will you continue up to the ottoman capture in1453 ?
I think I'll have a lot of people upset in the audience if I stop at 1204 - I started this project to get to 1453. My Greek artist friend is already making the artwork for it.
@@FlashPointHx you Just make greatness 👌👍
Congrats on the 100k flash! I've noticed that the mic quality is a bit less in this video, especially when you pronounce the S and C(spoken out as an S). It distorts and doesn't sound as clearly as in your former video's. Hope you get it fixed ;)
hahah - thats more from me being sleep deprived with a toddler who doesn't like to go to bed on time =)
Balian's response was epic lol don't remember that in the movie
So true!
Yoosef Ibn Ayoob (یوسف ابن ایوب)= Josef sob of Job ... is his name. Al-Nasir (The Victorious) & Sallah-AlDin (best for the faith) are titles.
growing up he was simply Josef
This was quite unexpected as you uploaded the previous episode just 2 weeks prior. When will the third crusade ep will be expected to be out?
I had these two videos already dictated - thats the hardest part. I've already done my research to the end of the 4th crusade - so I'll start writing the 3rd crusade now. Hope to have it out by end of August
min 2:00. what track is this? :O actually from the very beginning. re-watching all to see episode 8 within context. must say... Saladhin did make a name for himself, worthy of a special mention in your videos and entire books in history.
Its called Scandalous by premium - yes Saladin was impressive on the battlefield, but also known for his generosity
Great series greetings from 🇹🇷
Hello! I've been to your country twice - lovely time and beautiful out there!
@@FlashPointHx teşekkürler
I think there is a mistake I notice many make, I don't think the Muslims saw this as a fight between Islam and Christianity, rather a fight against the Franks or Europeans. Also the word Infidel is not an Islamic term nor was it used by Muslims, this is a European word.
In what I've read, the crusades were once seen as a fight between the Arabs and the Franks - but soon became a fight between religions. It makes sense - when a political entity wanted to be backed up and have their aggression legitimized - make it a holy war. Take a look at me Reconquista series and you'll see the Kings of Castile, Aragon, Portugal, Navarre use this all the time. One of Saladin's best moves was to support the holy places of Islam - this made his moves appear more legit to the common man
@@FlashPointHx If Jihad was called this does not mean it was against Christians, Jihad is used to raise peoples attention to a struggle against a perceived wrong or injustice, in this case the Franks or Crusaders. Muslim lands were filled with Christians so it would make no sense to say lets do a Jihad against Christians since this would include the Christians under their rule or protection.
I see history I click . I'm just a simple man
hahah - nice!
Are u going to cover the campaigns of Nicephorus Phocas II, “the pale death of the saracens” in the future?
Well, trying to move onwards to 1453 - that was late 10th cen. no?
@@FlashPointHx Yes, it was the 10th century roman resurgence. He campaigned against the caliphates alongside his successor John I Tzmiskies.
You skimmed through that event if i recall. Would be great if you cover those campaigns in the future.
@@althesian9741 the most powerful roman emperor is BASIL 2 but he has another approach to deal with muslim powers
