Baldwin IV, Leper King of Jerusalem: The Early Years - DOCUMENTARY Real Crusades History 2022-05-04 | Baldwin IV, Leper and crusader, was one of the outstanding commanders of his age, and during his life, posed a worthy challenge to the courageous Sultan Saladin. In this titanic struggle, Saladin had considerable advantage – he controlled the territory around Baldwin’s tiny kingdom, and he had far larger armies at his disposal. What’s more, the young King also suffered from a grave illness – leprosy. Despite his disease, and despite the fewness of his men, the brave Leper King rode at the head of his knights, sword in hand, battling Saladin’s legions on more than one occasion. This is Real Crusades History – the life of King Baldwin IV, the Leper King of Jerusalem.Next video in the series:youtube.com/watch?v=YbDNc6dUIYMGet my book about the Crusades: http://www.amazon.com/Why-Does-Heathen-Rage-Crusades/dp/152395762X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461105827&sr=8-1&keywords=why+does+the+heathen+rage Support my work on Patreon: patreon.com/RealCrusadesHistorySources:-Arab Historians of the Crusades, trans.

Many know him as Spain’s most iconic hero. But beneath the legend we discover the true El Cid of history – Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar – a knight born in Castile in the mid-eleventh century. He began as the right hand man to King Sancho of Castile: the King’s greatest general who won victory after victory. But after his king died amid suspicious circumstances, El Cid was banished from the kingdom of his fathers, and became a mercenary captain in service to the Emir of Zaragoza. Eventually, El Cid would strike out on his own, and become a conqueror in his own right. Ultimately, El Cid would battle one of the most powerful forces of the period – the Almoravid Empire.

The Mongol Invasions of the West, 1240-1288 - full documentary Real Crusades History 2022-11-26 | Over the course of the 13th Century, the Mongols conquered the largest contiguous land empire in world history. This astounding world power emerged from the unification of the seven Mongol tribes under the leadership of Genghis Khan, whose very name has become synonymous with conquest. Proclaimed ruler of all the Mongols in 1206, Genghis and his descendants dispatched invading armies in all directions, and by the end of the Great Khan’s life his empire included much of China and Central Asia. Mongol forces also drove into western Asia and Europe. They subdued much of the Arab world, destroying Baghdad in 1258. Latin Christendom would face the full force of the Mongol Empire when they assailed Hungary and Poland. On the battlefields of Legnica and Mohi, the Hungarians, Poles, Croatians, and their allies, including the Knights Templar, would face the virtually unbeatable military machine of the Mongols.Watch our full documentary on the life of Baldwin IV, the Leper King of Jerusalem who defeated Saladin: youtube.com/watch?v=L7L2eWwQq84Get my book about the Crusades: http://www.amazon.com/Why-Does-Heathen-Rage-Crusades/dp/152395762X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461105827&sr=8-1&keywords=why+does+the+heathen+rage Support my work on Patreon: patreon.com/RealCrusadesHistory Donate through PayPal: paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=MA5JLUY5HDCNGSources:-Chambers, James - The Devil's Horsemen: The Mongol Invasion of Europe, (Castle Books, 2003)-Engel, Pál; Tamás Pálosfalvi, Andrew Ayton: The Realm of St. Stephen: A History of Medieval Hungary, 895-1526, (I.B.Tauris & Co Ltd, 2001)-Jackson, Peter - The Mongols and the West: 1221–1410, (Routledge, 2005)-Kosztolnyik, Z.J. - Hungary in the 13th Century, (East European Monographs, 1996)-Salagean, Tudor - Transylvania in the Second Half of the Thirteenth Century: The Rise of the Congregation System, (Brill, 2016)-Sugar, Peter F. - A History of Hungary, (Indiana University, 1990)#Mongols #MedievalHistory #HistoryFacts
A Tour of the Dark Ages | Charlemagne, Vikings, Anglo-Saxons | MEGA-COMPILATION DOCUMENTARY Real Crusades History 2022-11-24 | This mega-compilation documentary gathers together all my videos thus far about the Early Middle Ages set together in chronological order. 19th century historians referred to the early medieval era as “the Dark Ages.” Today, historians reject that term. The period after the fall of the western Roman Empire was indeed an era of strife, fierce battles and conquering kings, but it was also an era of growth, artistic achievement, and the rise of new civilizations. This is the Early Middle Ages, roughly, from the sixth century to the start of the eleventh century. It was the era of the early Rashidun conquests, of Charles Martel and the ascent of the great empire of Charlemagne. It was the period of the harrowing Viking invasions, of Alfred the Great and the Anglo-Saxons of England, and the rise of the Normans.

Saladin vs. The Leper King, 1177 - Primary Source Reading #shorts Real Crusades History 2022-11-11 | Watch full version: youtu.be/YbDNc6dUIYMIn 1176, Baldwin IV, the Leper King of Jerusalem, turned fifteen, and fully assumed power as king. His first act was to launch a military campaign against his powerful neighbor, Saladin, who ruled the vast Ayyubid Empire stretching from Egypt to Syria. The timing wasn't good for Saladin, who wanted to focus on reducing his Zengid rivals in Syria. Baldwin's ascension forced Saladin to focus on the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Both of these great rulers would meet in combat in 1177 at the Battle of Montigsard, one of the greatest clashes of the Crusades. Here, Baldwin the Leper King was assisted by the Knights Templar, and Raynald of Chatillon. The crusader forces were vastly outnumbered, but they were determined.

Long before he was known as El Cid, Rodrigo Diaz was a knight loyal to the King of Castile. But after his king was killed amid suspicious circumstances, Rodrigo was exiled from his homeland, and became a mercenary in service of the Muslim Emir of Zaragoza. Later, El Cid would strike out on his own, and become virtually a king in his own right.

But Viking adventurers from Sweden were drawn east, to the Baltic Sea and beyond. What drove their wanderlust was the dirhem, a high-grade silver coin. In the 9th century, the Caliphate’s wealthy markets teemed with luxury goods. These coins found their way to Sweden, and sparked the curiosity of enterprising chiefs. On the Swedish island of Gotland, vast silver hoards filled with dirhems confirm the activity of Swedish Vikings trading and plundering in the Baltic.

Could the Mongols Have Conquered Europe? - DOCUMENTARY Real Crusades History 2022-10-27 | Could the Mongols have taken Europe? The Mongols were certainly world-class conquerors. In the thirteenth century, they ruled the largest contiguous land empire in history. It is commonplace to hear that “only the death of the great khan prevented the Mongols from taking all of Europe” – the idea here being that the Mongols were on their way to conquering Europe, but then they abandoned this project to rush back home and battle one another over who would be the next ruler of the Mongol Empire. But could the Mongols really have subdued Europe? Or, would the Latin West have mounted an effective defense? We know that the Pope was calling for a crusade against the Mongols, would a full-scale Mongol campaign into the heart of Europe have prompted this crusade to materialize? What would have been the results?

FIRST MONGOL INVASION OF HUNGARY - In 1241, Hungary, led by King Bela IV, faced one of the most devastating attacks of the medieval era. The attack was orchestrated by the Mongol military genius Subotai, as well as Batu, grandson of Genghis Khan and one-day founder of the Golden Horde. By now the Mongols were considered virtually unstoppable conquerors, sweeping aside armies from east to west. On the battlefield of Mohi, King Bela would be joined by a few staunch allies – the Croatians under Duke Koloman, and a band of Templar Knights led by Master Rembald de Voczon, as well as the warrior Archbishop Ugrin Csák. Subotai’s plan of attack was brilliant, and King Bela seemed to fall right into it. But would the Mongols truly emerge victorious? Indeed, what were the real results of the Battle of Mohi?

How Poland Finally CRUSHED the Mongols - DOCUMENTARY Real Crusades History 2022-10-04 | 1287, the Mongolian Golden Horde launches a major campaign against the Kingdom of Poland. This would be the third time a Mongol army invaded the country; the Poles knew well that they were facing a formidable opponent. Commanded by two capable and experienced military leaders – Nogai Khan and Talabuga Khan, the Golden Horde’s army divided and entered Poland via two attack points. For many of the Poles, they had little option but to hole up within the country’s fortresses. However, one nobleman, Duke Leszek the Black, would muster an army and confront the Golden Horde head on. Meanwhile, he would appeal to his neighbor, the King of Hungary for help. Hungary would respond, and soon, a coalition Polish-Hungarian force would stand against the Mongols, bolstered by the courageous Hungarian commander George of Sóvár.Watch our video on 1260: Mongols vs. Mamluks - The Battle of Ain Jalut: youtube.com/watch?v=s5QQaQw0uQwGet my book about the Crusades:http://www.amazon.com/Why-Does-Heathen-Rage-Crusades/dp/152395762X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461105827&sr=8-1&keywords=why+does+the+heathen+rageSupport my work on Patreon:patreon.com/RealCrusadesHistoryWritten, edited, and narrated by: J Stephen RobertsAnimations by: Denys RodionovGame footage: Medieval Kingdoms Total War 1212 for Attila Sources:-Chambers, James - The Devil's Horsemen: The Mongol Invasion of Europe, (Castle Books, 2003)-Jackson, Peter - The Mongols and the West: 1221–1410, (Routledge, 2005)-Kosztolnyik, Z.J. - Hungary in the 13th Century, (East European Monographs, 1996)-Krakowski, Stanisław - Polska w walce z najazdami tatarskimi w XIII wieku, (1956)-Pow, Lindsay Stephen - Thesis: Deep Ditches and Well-built Walls: A Reappraisal of the Mongol Withdrawal from Europe in 1242, (University of Calgary, 2012)-Witold Sarnecki, David Nicolle - Medieval Polish Armies 966–1500, (Osprey, 2009)#Mongols #Poland #MedievalHistory

Baldwin IV, Leper King who Defeated Saladin - FULL DOCUMENTARY Real Crusades History 2022-08-20 | Baldwin IV, Leper and crusader, was one of the outstanding commanders of his age, and during his life, posed a worthy challenge to the valorous Sultan Saladin. In this titanic struggle, Saladin had considerable advantage – he controlled the territory around Baldwin’s tiny kingdom, and he had far larger armies at his disposal. What’s more, the young King also suffered from a grave illness – leprosy.

How Hungary Finally CRUSHED the Mongols - DOCUMENTARY Real Crusades History 2022-08-13 | In the thirteenth century, the Mongols achieved a string of virtually unbroken victories, gaining the largest contiguous land empire in history. In the 1240’s, they devastated Hungary, destroying the army of King Béla IV at the famous Battle of Mohi. This experience profoundly impacted the Hungarians, and caused them to fundamentally alter many aspects of their society, for they feared that the Mongols would one day return. As it turned out, they did. In 1285, a vast Mongol army again drove into the lands of the Hungarians. How would Hungary fair this time?Watch our video on the Kievan-Rus: youtube.com/watch?v=N6GlTfC_bHwGet my book about the Crusades: http://www.amazon.com/Why-Does-Heathen-Rage-Crusades/dp/152395762X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461105827&sr=8-1&keywords=why+does+the+heathen+rage Support my work on Patreon: patreon.com/RealCrusadesHistory Written and edited by J Stephen RobertsNarrated by Tom WyldeAnimations by Denys RodionovGame footage: Medieval Kingdoms Total War 1212 for Attila Sources:-Chambers, James - The Devil's Horsemen: The Mongol Invasion of Europe, (Castle Books, 2003)-Engel, Pál; Tamás Pálosfalvi, Andrew Ayton: The Realm of St. Stephen: A History of Medieval Hungary, 895-1526, (I.B.Tauris & Co Ltd, 2001)-Jackson, Peter - The Mongols and the West: 1221–1410, (Routledge, 2005)-Kosztolnyik, Z.J. - Hungary in the 13th Century, (East European Monographs, 1996)-Salagean, Tudor - Transylvania in the Second Half of the Thirteenth Century: The Rise of the Congregation System, (Brill, 2016)-Sugar, Peter F. - A History of Hungary, (Indiana University, 1990)#Mongols #Hungary #MongolEmpire

Saladin vs. Baldwin IV the Leper: The Battle for Jerusalem - DOCUMENTARY Real Crusades History 2022-05-21 | The film Kingdom of Heaven made Saladin and Baldwin the Leper King famous to the moviegoing public. But what's the true history behind the movie? We'll find out today! In 1176, Baldwin IV, the Leper King of Jerusalem, turned fifteen, and fully assumed power as king. His first act was to launch a military campaign against his powerful neighbor, Saladin, who ruled the vast Ayyubid Empire stretching from Egypt to Syria. The timing wasn't good for Saladin, who wanted to focus on reducing his Zengid rivals in Syria. Baldwin's ascension forced Saladin to focus on the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Both of these great rulers would meet in combat in 1177 at the Battle of Montigsard, one of the greatest clashes of the Crusades. Here, Baldwin the Leper King was assisted by the Knights Templar, and Raynald of Chatillon. The crusader forces were vastly outnumbered, but they were determined. This wouldn't be the last time Saladin and Baldwin would meet. in 1179, while the Templars were attempting to raise a castle at Jacob's Ford, the Sultan and the Leper would exchange blows again at the Battle of Marj Ayun. In this documentary, we continue looking at the life of Baldwin IV, the Leper King of Jerusalem.Watch the NEXT video in this series: youtube.com/watch?v=gPBhzfq_cUMWatch the first video in this series: youtube.com/watch?v=_ByJavijkKMSpecial thanks to the outstanding Nedim Can Incebay, who allowed me to showcase some of his brilliant video game editing in this documentary.

The Kievan-Rus: Ukraines Viking Founders - DOCUMENTARY Real Crusades History 2022-04-24 | In this documentary, we look at the origins of the Kievan Rus. The Vikings who assailed the shores of Britain and France were mostly Norwegian or Danish. But Viking adventurers from Sweden were drawn east, to the Baltic Sea and beyond. What drove their wanderlust was the dirhem, a high-grade silver coin. In the 9th century, the Caliphate’s wealthy markets teemed with luxury goods. These coins found their way to Sweden, and sparked the curiosity of enterprising chiefs. On the Swedish island of Gotland, vast silver hoards filled with dirhems confirm the activity of Swedish Vikings trading and plundering in the Baltic.Watch our full documentary on the Viking Age: youtube.com/watch?v=9tK4tFx7-sgGet my book about the Crusades:http://www.amazon.com/Why-Does-Heathen-Rage-Crusades/dp/152395762X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461105827&sr=8-1&keywords=why+does+the+heathen+rageSupport my work on Patreon:patreon.com/RealCrusadesHistorySources:-Ferguson, Robert - The Vikings, (Penguin, 2010)-Haywood, John - Northmen: The Viking Saga, AD 793-1241, (Head of Zeus, 2020)-Ibn-Fadlan and the Land of Darkness: Arab Travelers in the Far North, trans Paul Lunde, (Penguin, 20212)-Logan, F.

Charlemagne: Father of Medieval Europe - DOCUMENTARY Real Crusades History 2022-03-26 | Charlemagne was king of the Franks, and emperor of western Christendom. Out of the turmoil of the Early Middle Ages, he united the bulk of western and central Europe, and laid the groundwork for the modern European world. He was a patron of the arts and education, instigator of the flowering of learning known as the Carolingian Renaissance. He was also a fierce conqueror, who fought to impose his rule on the Saxons. He faced defeats as well as victories, losing the rearguard of his army at the famous Battle of Roncesvalles, where he suffered a personal tragedy as well, losing his friend and companion-in-arms, Roland.Watch our video about the crusader power couple Queen Morphia and King Baldwin II of Jerusalem: youtube.com/watch?v=9w2Rr3TX1uUGet my book about the Crusades:http://www.amazon.com/Why-Does-Heathen-Rage-Crusades/dp/152395762X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461105827&sr=8-1&keywords=why+does+the+heathen+rageSupport my work on Patreon:patreon.com/RealCrusadesHistorySources:-Barraclough, Geoffrey - The Crucible of Europe: The Ninth and Tenth Centuries in European History, (University of California, 1976)-Collins, Roger - Charlemagne, (University of Toronto, 1998)-Ferguson, Robert - The Vikings, (Penguin, 2010)-Nelson, Janet - King and Emperor: A New Life of Charlemagne, (University of California, 2019)-Thorndike, Lynn - The History of Medieval Europe: from the Fall of Rome to the Italian Renaissance, (Houghton Mifflin, 1917)-Einhard and Notker the Stammerer - Two Lives of Charlemagne (Penguin Classics, 2008)-Winston, Richard - Charlemagne, (Horizon, 2016)Animated maps by Daniel WeissNarrated by J Stephen Roberts and Tom Wylde#Charlemagne #MedievalHistory #HolyRomanEmpire

Charlemagne - A New Emperor for the Romans - DOCUMENTARY Real Crusades History 2022-01-05 | The coronation of Charlemagne as emperor: On Christmas day, 800, crowds of Romans, Franks, Bavarians, Lombards, Goths, Basques, and some visiting Anglo-Saxons and Greeks all packed into the great cathedral of Saint Peter’s. Near the front of the altar stood Charlemagne's sons and daughters, the royal Frankish princes and princesses. At the front of the altar stood Charles himself, garbed in a Roman tunic and cloak, with a belt of gold and jeweled sandals. In the midst of mass, Pope Leo crowned Charlemagne as emperor. The gathered crowd cried out in proclamation of the coronation: “Long life and victory to Charles Augustus, crowned by God the great and pacific emperor of the Romans!” The Pope then prostrated himself before Charles and kissed the hem of his cloak in the traditional ritual of the Roman Empire.For some, this was the old Roman Empire reborn. For others, this was the dawn of a new empire – the Germanic Holy Roman Empire. Undoubtedly, Charlemagne had brought the west to new heights of power after centuries of obscurity. His reign would come to define the western Middle Ages.Learn the full story of the First Crusade:youtube.com/watch?v=UnAxaBnxjV4Get my book about the Crusades: http://www.amazon.com/Why-Does-Heathen-Rage-Crusades/dp/152395762X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461105827&sr=8-1&keywords=why+does+the+heathen+rage Support my work on Patreon: patreon.com/RealCrusadesHistorySources:-Barraclough, Geoffrey - The Crucible of Europe: The Ninth and Tenth Centuries in European History, (University of California, 1976)-Collins, Roger - Charlemagne, (University of Toronto, 1998)-Ferguson, Robert - The Vikings, (Penguin, 2010)-Nelson, Janet - King and Emperor: A New Life of Charlemagne, (University of California, 2019)-Thorndike, Lynn - The History of Medieval Europe: from the Fall of Rome to the Italian Renaissance, (Houghton Mifflin, 1917)-Einhard and Notker the Stammerer - Two Lives of Charlemagne (Penguin Classics, 2008)-Winston, Richard - Charlemagne, (Horizon, 2016)Animated maps by Daniel Weiss song: "Isabel" by Roman Lion:youtube.com/watch?v=_yWgkWFVPWI#Charlemagne #MedievalHistory #HolyRomanEmpire
Charlemagne wouldnt let his daughters get married? Why? Real Crusades History 2021-11-17 | In this documentary, we ask why did Charlemagne, ruler of the Frankish Empire and founder of the Holy Roman Empire, refuse to allow his daughters to marry? If they’d gotten married, they would’ve had to have done something that he did not want them to do. What does this tell us about women in the Middle Ages? Charlemagne's history is remarkable. He was rival to the Byzantine Empire, and his reign as King of the Franks and Emperor of the West came to define the western medieval world. Charlemagne doted on his daughters. The court poet Angilbert gives a striking description of Charlemange’s daughters: There was Rotrud, Charlemagne’s favorite, her pale blonde hair intertwined with ribbons of violet and strings of pearls, a coronet of gold circling her head. Next came the lovely Bertha, wearing a golden diadem, with golden filaments sparkling in her gleaming hair, her snowy shoulders covered by an ermine wrap, her belt shining in many colors.
