Several years after Cerami, the Normans and the Saracens of Sicily faced off in another important engagement: Misilmeri, in 1068. Roger of Hautville led his knights in an effort to throw back a powerful force led by Prince Ayyub of the Zirids.
Some people like bowling or working on cars. Normans were into conquering. It was kind of their thing.
viking blood
It was everyone's thing back then. As long as there's a Power Vacuum,people are bound to fight over it. Muslims fought other Muslims for that reason.
The Normans spilt blood not soymilk!
Normans 💕😍💖
These are the kind of human males that should inspire every generation of human males .
Last time I was this early, English still sounded like German.
God bless 😂
Why were the Normans so overpowered? It seems that these guys smash through everybody with ease.
Combination of European steel with Viking lack of ethics.
^^^ blood lust combined with romance of frankish culture
You always hear about the knights ‘crushing’ armies with just a few charges, really makes you think how those really looked and felt even by the men that just ran
Also, props to the Anglo-Saxons at Hastings, who made it a near run thing while using a sightly outdated fighting style, though they obviously still lost. 11th century Normans had significant tactical advantages over their adversaries, not unlike the Roman advantages from the late Republic.
Normans were obliged through their strong obedience of Christian Faith, and ruthless cunning. They perceived hemselves foremost as liberators, while creating their sovereignty. Forging their principality through battles with tried and tested tactics. Normans had no equal, they're the best. And that was their drive. Unfaltering ambition driven by trust and love in God. A fundamental aspect of being a Crusader.
Normans...... The men from the north.......... as hard as rock
They absolutely were .
Now gradually turning into nations of pansy boys !
Must be something in the drinking water ?
You stealing all my video Ideas LOL, I love your channel and studying the Tancred brothers
I'd rather be a Norman.... than a Saracen.
Tho'......
They seem to have turned the tables somewhat. What!
In the interim. What!
bipola telly
I wish I was Norman instead of a Saracen 😭
Inayah Daneen well you can always marry one of us Normans
@@lavish_1717lmaooo wot
Fantastic and informative.
Thank you for making this video! It's difficult to find details about the Battle of Misilmeri so this was very enlightening.
How have i never heard of this Roger? Thx for informing me👍🏻
Normans had heavy armor and a superior cavalry that's why they crushed the Saracens even after being surrounded .

Hey could you make a video about native Christians that fought with the crusaders? I'm a middle eastern catholic and I would love this
Roger of Sicilly is my 27th great grandfather. So nice to discover something about my ancestors. Your videos are superb.
Thanks!
Of course he is 😂

Lucky !
@@spyridon3089 You don't have to believe me, but all of these people have been researched and i can show you all of those in-between.
*Dammit* Normans, I thought I *told* you guys to stop sending messages written in blood. Can't you use ink like everyone else?
Ha!
That's Prince Ayyub? I thought that's Ibn Sina.
Vitruvius Antarchius Islam is not only Arabs
Great video, thanks.
and all this happened during a grand solar minimum.... (to be continued)
I like this Rogers style
VERY INTERESTING !!!!!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB !!!!!!!! I LOVE U !!!!!!!!!
Misilmeri/(Mussulumeli in Sicilian) the town of my paternal family. My family name is written in documents as being the Latin tongue/ Roman Catholic families from Northern Italy of Lombard desent who resettled Sicily shortly after the Norman conquist. This as opposed the indigenous Greek Sicilians/Byzantine families who were also documented in census. My paternal family from Misilmeri, as well as other Sicilians, bare the blue-eyed/ lighter hair genetics from both the Lombards and Normans.
👍😄
Thanking you for abundance of information, and hard diligent work presenting it.
The thing is half over before the guy gets around to the battle
Prince Ayyub loses again.
A great episode RCH following the Normans through their conquests has been thoroughly entertaining. Do you think you can make a video describing the genesis of Norman Military Culture?
Vikings
V Cab Vikings were not adept at cavalry
My mistake. I was thinking of chevauchee battle tactics during the 100 year war.
I confuse Viking and Norman often
Another awesome video as always you guys!
I have a bit of a request for you. I recently re-purchased from Amazon a BBC series called "Warriors", which is also known by the alternate title "Heroes & Villains". It is a docudrama that contains a total of six main episodes, with two bonus episodes about Hannibal and Genghis Khan, and it is really trying to get its historical accuracy correct by drawing on all of the sources that were written by the accounts of the time and the advice of modern historians. One of the main episodes focuses on Richard The Lionheart and features actor Steve Waddington as King Richard. If it's at all possible, I'd love for you guys to watch that episode and then do a podcast where you judge its historical accuracy and/or analyze it. Please let me know if you'll at the very least consider this request.
Thanks.
