Real Crusades History, excited for you... 😉🤫
This would make a great movie.
Search knightfall it's about the last crusade and fall of acre
@@gamerzreunion2922 Did hear both good ans bad about Knightfall _ what's your opinion, is it rather good or bad ?
@@ink3539 it's really great, it's really accurate about the real history but it has a pretty great story line and interesting screenplay. 10/10 would suggest.
the digger I like it. I also like the last kingdom.
Outlaw King is a good movie. It's surprisingly accurate in many ways. Inaccurate in some others. But the Battle of Loudoun Hill was depicted splendidly
Stories of valor, courage, tragedy, and heart break. I've read many of these stories 35 or so years ago. It brings tears. It's great that the stories are being told again.
If the crusader knights and the byzantines have worked together instead of backstabbing each other. they could have both survived they had a common enemy and they both lasked manpower.
@@mdsaxc02, their Orthodox schism in 1054 caused the disunity.
Heroic Catholics, when did the Protestants turn up?! Oh wait..😂
@@t.d6379 , Martin Luther started Western Protestantism on 1517.

These Christians were tough! Fighting for what is right and just. We owe our world to them.
@@philexley4930 Falsr. Crusaders ABANDONED their land and power for a cause where there was a 1 in 10 survival chance. Based on what you said, you're just bitter or mislead. Or both
@@TyranyFighterPatriot Yeah, those are the peasants. Landless people whom would rather risk their life in the east for fortune or money than remain in the land of their Lords and work as a slave, it was serfdom during that time you see. The Lords that went are different, they knew the land have treasures and stuff, some fought for riches and some fought for the Cross. So we really can't generalize the whole armies whom in Europe considers each other as enemies.
Better cause is a shaky term to use since the crusades only really benefited the Catholic church and the influence of christianity. There are no good guys or bad guys here, just same old man vs man bs.
@bulgaroSlav you must not know much about this time.. The crusades possibly saved europe from being overtaken by sultans from northern africa and Muslims in the east.
The crusades definetely saved constintinople several hundred years.
We just won't talk about the 4th crusade 🤫
Our ancestors were so much better than us. It's actually staggering to meditate on sometimes.
Give me once.
Wtf is wrong with u guys.....we live in way better times than they did.... Plagues murder wars death were constant in that era what kind of maniac would admire this sure they do look attractive at some level but our society doesn't need these people anymore
Austrian Painter Hiding From The Algorithm . Shut up, fool
@@leaveme3559 First, I said the ancestors, not the times. But even still, you're looking at this from a first world bubble, because all of those things still happen in most of the world.
And by the way, our society is falling apart at the seams because weak, modern, supposedly superior men won't do anything. Our ancestors fought to keep the invaders out, now we let them right in because we're afraid of being called names! So yes, they were superior.
@@austrianpainterinhiding88 I don't understand wtf is wrong with u people West literally dominantes the globe in every field from science to culture and yet u act this way....which was indeed made by not superior men rather men with superior intellect
The Knights Templar are one of my favorite historical factions ever! It honestly bums me out sometimes though, because so many people don’t know much about them, and they’re most often used as convenient plot devices in so many BS ways, when their real history is so interesting, and their last stand is the stuff Epics are made of.
Heroic Catholics, when did the Protestants turn up?! Oh wait..😂
These guys were lions.
Can you image how they would feel if they knew how their decedents were giving up everything they fought so hard for.
@@jimmydean9204 yes. They wouldn't regard us a equals for some of them were saints walking the earth.
@@jimmydean9204lol they would give anything to live in a world as peaceful as ours
@@leaveme3559 You are using today's societal standards to judge how they would be. They would be amazed by our technology and then they would try to kill us all for being weak and give up their lands.
@@leaveme3559 a world of degeneracy and going against their entire teachings? sure thing...
this explains why Cyprus is considered "Europe" .... I guess
And because it belongs to Greece, no matter how much Turkey wants to whine.
The Turks should also move from constaninople and go back the steppes where they came from.
@@NPC-vg8kx no... Cypriots are greeks, it's not owned by it (well, the southern half is) Legally impossible to ever unite the two.
@@calum5975 Never said it's legally owned but it should be.

Who massacred the population and ate the dead and the living when they got hungry
@BulgaroSlav
The crusaders
Almost every time they took a city and there was a time when they ate the prisoners including the children according to Christians present at the events. Just check out what happened when they took Jerusalem.
@BulgaroSlav
Yet it happened
@Morning Midnight umm... I have a feeling your not the kind of person to check sources or make sure the information your digesting is actually true. Huh?..
I suggest you get in the habit of that. You wont embarrass yourself as much if you do.
By the will of the Lord, this was a decisive victory for the Lord's will to prevail. May the Lord's will prevail all over the world. Ameen!!!
Alhamdulillah!
Love to learn and appreciate your videos very much. Please take care and keep up the good work.
Sultan break surrender the terms, got retailed and gets angry. Go figure.
I see that behaviour before. Every evil person does it. They seem to have no concept of others rights. Happens with many self righteous and arrogant haters. If you haven't experienced it yourself yet you probably will after you've lived a little longer. The problem is not to let people like that very in command. Unfortunately Islam reinforces and selects for people like that. Islam is very conducive for evil.
@@nihilistic7840 I guess that's why the crusaders slaughtered everyone in Jerusalem when they took it
@Red Terk noone said that the crusaders were always perfect people by our times standards.
What he said is Islam actually puts people like that in control alot. Many Islamic nations leaders have been pretty horrible people because those type of people have the easiest time rising the ranks in Islamic regimes usually.
They just cover their humiliating expulsion and defeat and the ending of their crusade states with fairy tales
Who else is excited to meet these men in heaven one day?

Emotional, a case of history being greater than fiction. It does make me remember the last stand in Helm's Deep, at least orcs didn't fake a deal to trick the defenders...
Yes, very true. Stories of valor, courage, tragedy, and heart break. I've read many of these stories 35 or so years ago. It brings tears. "Humans" can always pretend to be humans until they prove otherwise. Orcs don't have that luxury. It's great that the stories are being told again.
Kaiser Souze what if the Mamlukes deviated from his orders... then that would be an extremely bad situation.
@@cryptosporidium1375 That al-ashraf was angry that women and children escaped suggests the deal was a fraud from the beginning.

Have you ever been to Akko (Acre)? That Seawall is really amazing and there still is a portion of the oldest wall there I believe. I've got pictures from there I've just got to find them among all my CDs that I stored pictures on. If you haven't been there you really should see it it's amazing
We're living in the shadow of these great men.

Flayed man, I liked your comment. Others talk, but what would they do? No need to respect their easy words.
Yall got yeeted back to the mayolands
Take a step outside that shadow, you may have the same character.
its known as Akka or Akko , in Arabic and Hebrew respectively.
still very beautiful city and portion of it is UNESCO heritage site which is the one built by the crusaders in 12×× AD , population: 70% Jews 30 Arabs
Wow that’s a great history lesson!
The fighting must’ve been fierce
We need real men like that today.

The knights were brothers in arms to our Order. They fought valiantly.
whst....our order ?
Heroic Catholics, when did the Protestants turn up?! Oh wait..😂
It seems like the Templars were far less villainous than pop culture would have me believe
Very much so. Pop culture hates Christianity and the west and love to spread misinformation about it.
The templars actually were one the more tolerant orders even escorting Muslims and allowing them to pray in their churchs

Hey RCH, have you already done your response video to 3 arrows on the crusades?
✠ Non Nobis Domine, Non Nobis, Sed Nomini Tuo Da Gloriam ✠
Not for me lord, not for me. For you and your eternal glory.
True western Manhood, courage, and absolute bravery. What has happened to the mighty bloodlines that were capable of such feats. We western men have been over bred no different from the transformation the dire wolf made, becoming the common Golden Retreiver, capable of only hand licks and tail wags to any stranger, be he friend or foe. And so dies our soceity, not in a blaze of glory like Viking funerals of old, but in a slow fizzle, felt by few and pitied by fewer....
There are still plenty of us, don't panic
WTF are you babbling on about 😂
WE WUZ CRUSADERS N SHIEET
what a load of absolute tripe. You need to stop reading story books and actually read history instead. Try a scholarly history of the Crusades for a start.
@Phil Exley - You know what else is also tripe?
Adding nothing to a conversation and still managing to use an appeal to authority fallacy.
GGs you won the useless comment of the day award.
Well done my friend! Some answer the call, others cannot hear.
Love your work, RCH...Thanks!
Men like those aren't made anymore.
Would give the rest of my life in exchange for 5 years fight beside those people.
Ill trade for 1 hour
I disagree, they might not be as great in number, but I know they do exist because I served with them in Fallujah.
@@fiakuma29 Where do you dumb*cks come from? Have you EVER opened a history book? What about Ghengas Khan?, or Japan before, and during WW2? or China in Tibet? Or the Arabs in Sicily and Spain? or the many other non-European nation's/people that have pillaged other nations since the beginning of time? Quit making yourself look so famned foolish!!
There are men in war who make the same selfless sacrifices, heroics didn't end when these guys died thousands of years ago. There is more heroics going on due to the larger population if you wanted to fight beside heroes you could have made that choice.
@David Parks There is always war my friend, we just don't see it.
One of the saddest videos by RCH. The pope should have sent more troops.
ikr. The mamluks had 200.000. 200.000!!!!
Sergio B. . Mamluks didn’t have 200,000 soldiers.... bs bs bs
14k mamluks defeated the Mongols nearby in Ain Jalut. And not all of them survived. How did they suddenly have 200k a few decades later?? Whatever to make you feel better man... Mamluks outclassed Crusaders. In the end, the Crusaders took home a better sense of ethics, better culinary and ways of clothing.
BDtourism nah crusaders were way better trained and had better gear, 1 Templar could kill like 10 but they had millions
@@Pagalchhagal yoy are dreaming
I feel sorry for the remaining women and children who had been left after the Las of the templar in the stronghold died
They got most if not all of them out. After the breakdown of negotiations they got more civilians out, then the Templars and Hospitallers just went down fighting. It's pretty epic stuff.
Excellent video! I wonder how many ships the templars would have had (to flee)?
Some say remember the alamo, I say remember ACRE!!
This reminds of the story of Samson, when he brings down the temple of Dagon and perishes along with many of the Philistines.
Thank god for your channel..this has to be put into telhe public school curriculum
they wouldn't want to teach us or our children examples of values, honor, sacrifice and persistence, would they?
The reason why the crusades rare called crusades. They fought for what was right in an attempt to liberate the holy land.
They were . . . men.
They were ..... Invaders
They were ..... Murderers
Thank you for the video! I would suggest to change the cheerful rock-ish music since it is not appropriate to the context and the dramatic situation.
This is an older video, I have since really changed my music quite a bit. I try to use more medieval themed music now. Back then I was just using my own music from my project Roman Lion. Thanks, glad you liked the video!
i wonder why this has not been made into a movie
Because they would mess it up RCH is one of the few true sources on the Crusades
Because they want to pretend crusaders were bad guys and the crusads were unprovoked.
Never surrender
The Brocialist . But what if you like surrendering?
Fight them on the beaches, fight them on the landing grounds, fight them in the fields, and in the streets, fight them in the hills. The fascists are back. Never surrender.
@David Parks the commies are the fascists. And it's the commies that are importing Islam.
I wonder if there are mentions or clues to estimate mamelouk casualties.
Sultans are known for hiding their dead, the only time that their casualties are known are either when they loose or when Templars manage to capture their bodies.
Very interesting channel.
that was a great video! thanks
Such good work !! 👍 👍 thank you sir !!
Thanks for nothing, Rohan.
The prequel to Knightfall
After playing too much stronghold crusader game. I'm in the world of crusade
I too play that game ..
TODAY MY BROTHERS WE FIGHT FOR THE GLORY OF GOD ...... AND WE WIN BY THE GRACE OF GOD !!!!!!
So this is the story that I think inspired the final battle in the Warhammer 40K book Helsreach, it was a similar last stand but it was Black Templars against a horde of Orks, the only real differences are there were no women and children, and there was no negotiations between the two sides
Interesting. I’ve heard the Last 12 of the Knights Templar held out at the castle of Lahnstein
Excellent I do enjoy your videos
You did great work in video about William the Conqueror by putting sound effects in it. It is great to have sound effects like that in other videos. You should put it videos.
Thank you brother 🙌✝️🙏
You are very welcome
Hey! I was wondering if you've heard of Christian Cameron's Chivalry (14th century, Alexandrian "Crusade") series. To me, it seems a highly realistic piece of historical fiction, but I'm not a real history nerd so perhaps I wouldn't know. I'm curious, what do you think of it?
The Fortress Broke before the Knights did.
0:28 what did they do what was so horrifying? You gonna just leave that one hanging?
He explained it later in the video. The Muslims agreed not to harm the women and children if the Templer Knights surrendered. The Knights took their word for it until it was clear the women would be sold as sex slaves or be raped on the spot; so they fought.
Got your book "why do the heathen rage". Read the first paragraph. I'm immediately captured and looking forward to reading it. Sharing your videos. They're especially relevant these days.
Thanks! Glad you got the book and glad to hear you're enjoying it so far. And thanks for checking out the videos.

@@MegaBaddog They always refer to the 1st and the 3rd like there was no other crusades lol
Also worth noting is that "Crusade" is a term invented by historians to describe the various campaigns.
At the time, there were several ways of referring to this, such as "the pilgrimage", "the journey", or my personal favorite, "the business".
Love the video awesome 👍

Its am honor to have this battle be fought in my country
The Mamelukes stopped the Mongols at Ain Jalut a hundred or so years later. The first major defeat they suffered. Meanwhile the mongols had laid waste to Russia and Poland.
Several hundred years later the Mamelukes are defeated by Napoleon. He recruits some for his own army, and the Mameluke charge at Austerlitz (his greatest victory) broke the Austrian army. Funny thing History !
Rob Plazzman Now that’s something I learnt today, bravo ! 👏🏼
Saracen
Do you what Saracen means to call your self that ????
It means Sara slaves, the Christians claimed that Hajar mother of Our Father Ismael was a slave to Sara and that all of us Arabs are slaves to Sara , they don’t know that Hajar is acutely an Egyptian princess 👑
Saracen its a disgusting name made by disgusting wicked people !

Not the Christians but Jews since they who wrote the Old Testament.

Not really. The crusaders and the Mongols actually fought together against the Mameluks.
@@fransbuijs808 If a small force of elite Mameluke soldiers hadn't provided resistance to the Mongols wouldn't the Mongols have invaded the European continent?
@@TonyqTNT
The Mongols invaded Russia, Poland and Hungary in 1237-42. They gave it up because Khan Ogodei died. Ever since then, European powers tried to make an alliance with them against the muslims, without much success. It is true that in the middle east, the Mameluks proved to be too strong for the Mongols.
@@fransbuijs808 Thanks for the information I just thought the Outremer group were being hypocritical because they masacured Jerusalem and Saladin said to always treat noncombatants respectfully.
@@TonyqTNT One thing that has to be remembered is that in both cases, the conquerors were abiding by the rules of war. When a city was taken by storm, as in the case of the 1099 capture of Jerusalem, all bets were off. When a city or fortress surrendered however, as in the case of Saladin's taking of Jerusalem, both sides were expected to abide by any negotiated terms. It should also be noted that even when Jerusalem was taken the first time, the civilian population had mostly evacuated already, because the city had earlier fallen to the Fatimids, and further, many had fled when they knew the crusaders were coming.
