Barbarossa.exe has stopped working
It's fascinating to see that even with tactical blunders, Barbarossa managed to win battles simply by having disciplined troops,
while the crusader orders and their armies manage to squander major tactical advantages by lack of discipline.
There couldn't be a bigger contrast to illustrate how important military discipline is.
Another major problem with the Christians is they had too much infighting. This made it easier for the enemy to defeat them.
And then he fucking drowned like an idiot.
I mean I just watched some videos of well disciplined roman campaigns and this crusader orders seem like savages to me lol
@@Nierez Compared to Rome, most of the world were savages for a very long time.
Christian resolve is all they had becuase the nobles had massive egos. You will find the english were more prone to cruelty and violence which gave them unwavering determination.

Medieval sigma moment 😂
Richard held the Christian banner high when others fled, and single-handedly kept the Crusader spirit alive. He was the ideal medieval king, fighting side by side with his men, something modern leaders would never do. Saladin was a great leader and commander and it's very symbolic that Saladin passed shortly after the third Crusades ended, it's like he had completed his mission. Saladin was truly the Defender of Islam.
May these names never die!
Saladin used to marvel at the zeal of the Christians,
not sure if he said this himself but every time they killed a Christian a thousand more would come, while the other "Muslim Kings" of his time would sleep over his letters for help.
@@aymanabdullah7608 Saladin holds my respect, even though I am a Christian.

Seems to me that Richard was the tactician while Saladin was the strategist. Every time they met in battle Richard won but he didn't have much of a plan for using those victories and Saladin was able to bog him down in an endless stalemate just like Vietnam.
Yeah, but part of it is that Richard had to deal with the religious zeal of the Crusaders. He wanted to go for Egypt, not the landlocked and strategically useless Jerusalem, but he had to be realistic about the motivations of his forces.
@@shorewall Yeah, Saladin's biggest advantage was that he commanded a united force under his complete control while Richard was the leader of an alliance of many different European factions that he only had nominal control over.
@@historicalminds6812 As far as I understand it, he DIDN´t take the outlying forts, and that was the problem. He secured only the string of fortifications streching from Jaffa to Jerusalem, but not the ones beyond. So even if he took Jerusalem, the Turks would have had the strategic upper hand as soon as the bulk of the crusaders started to return to Europe after fulfiling their vows.
Taking Egypt was the only way to ensure long term victory, but the majority of comanders and the rank and file troops did not understand that, and in the end even his reputation was not enough to persuade them.

I like how Kingdom of Heaven pretty much gave Saladin his most iconic look. Even the game that sponsored this video uses that movie's version of Saladin as their model. It's a testament to Ridley Scott and the actor who played Saladin in that movie.
In my opinion Saladin was the best aspect of that film. The rest is pretty bad.

Can we appreciate that we get this for free? You guys are nailing it!!
I'm very impressed with the production quality of your videos. The script is informative, and well written, and the narrator has a great voice for this type of content. Everything is very clear, and understandable. You're diction is on point. The visuals are fantastic. The map sequences are extremely helpful for following the narrative, and really add to the whole experience. 10/10 would recommend. Unfortunately, I don't know many people that are as interested in history as I am, but I will certainly be talking about this to whomever may check it out.
Barbarossa and his army reaching the Holy Land would be an interesting turn of events in my opinion.
The discipline of his campaign was inspiring. I like to think that he and Richard would have been alike in terms of discipline and pragmatism.
If he hadn't died, I would say the Crusade wouldn't have failed. Similarly, if Phillip hadn't abandoned the Crusade, failure would have been unlikely. I like to imagine that Frederick, Richard, and Phillip kept each other in check.
Old fat just lead the hungry, tired, outnumbered German Crusader to sack Sultanate of Rum Capital with ease
Even if we assume that Philip will still return to Europe, if Barbarossa reaches the Holy Land with his entire army, the crusaders might threaten Egypt itself along with Jerusalem.
That is, if the commanders, Richard, and Barbarossa always see eye to eye.

1:27:35, a defender swam into the ocean from his besieged position to the reinforcing fleet's flagship to deliver a message, prompting the reinforcing army to themselves leap into the sea in order to attack in full battle dress.
Then later on a soldier discovers the enemy out in the fields during a morning stroll amidst a war zone.
What an absolute bunch of mad lads
I KNOWW RIGHHT!
I like to imagine the guy who sent the message to Richard, the guy who swam and the person who went for a stroll was the same guy
Interesting thing to think about. While Richard, Baldwin and Salah ad-Din were duking it out for supremacy in the Holy Land. A little known warlord named Temujin far in the East was organizing a confederation of nomadic tribes. I don't really think he amounted to much besides raiding a few towns in Northern China but something neat nonetheless /s.

edit forget the first sentence I am just too stupid to read lol.
I'm trying to imagine Richard lounging on a stretcher sniping soldiers with his crossbow
I also imagined that, and passed the video for a bit...
I think the best thing about these videos, is the way that you guys specifically point out where the opinions of historians differ or have changed over time with regards to the subjects you're discussing. People sometimes forget that the study of history is an ever-evolving endeavor, and at any time we can discover new evidence or documentation that completely changes our perspective on a person or event. This channel is fantastic for many reasons, but the fact that you guys specifically do this is I think my favorite thing.
Damn, this was intense alongside very limited knowledge of the Third Crusade.
-The conflict flip-flopping between success for one side then the other.
-Frederick Barbarossa getting killed over a mere accident, & where his survival may have turned the tide of the Third Crusade.
-Richard being so close to his goal of conquering Jerusalem twice, only to get held up by logistics.
-Saladin having the potential to lay waste to the Crusading army at Acre but didn't.
-Saladin dying half a year after the Third Crusade ended, which may have been very advantageous for Richard.
Yeah but Richard too died after returning from the third crusade while fighting against France
@@ahzam2862 The Third Crusade ended in 1192. Richard died in 1199 (7 years after) from a crossbow wound in his shoulder which turned gangrenous - i.e. lack of bloodflow which turns skin black & dry (don't look it up). So not entirely from natural causes.
Saladin was a formidable though respected opponent to Richard. When Saladin died, his empire/realm was split amongst his competing sons. If Richard continued crusading up to this point, these divisions would be beneficial to him unless, due to change in historical events, post-Saladin divisions don't take place.
What would have restraint Richard was logistics - finances, army morale as well as troubling developments back in England & France.
...Though, in the event of the Third Crusaders conquering Jerusalem, whether they could have held onto is quite questionable. The division of the Muslim world was what allowed the First Crusaders to conquer the Antioch, Edessa & Jerusalem despite being poorly organised & equipped; but the Muslim world were able to recapture Jerusalem when they got their shit together.
@@laurenceellis6256 Most of your assessments are true, but much of Richards success was due to he was fresher to this arena and supported by many leaders of levant while Saladin was battle weary and had to face enemies at home and abroad. but the thing that made Saladin shinier than Richard is his strategic play. in contrast Richard have to be happy with his tactical victories.
Saladin achieved his goal and held it,but Richard with all successes failed to achieve his goal.
@@alraziosmany I don't think that's fair to Richard. He wanted to control the coastal forts and cities, he wanted to cut Saladin off from Egypt. It was the religious zeal of the Crusaders that forced Richard to seek undesirable battle for Jerusalem. So many others would have been strung out, baited, and picked apart by the Muslim skirmish tactics, but Richard (and Barbarosa) kept their men mostly safe, and accomplished much. If Richard had his way, I think he would have let Saladin keep Jerusalem, and pressed on to the Nile Delta. The strength of the Crusader States always derived from their access to the sea, and the Latin West thereby. But in a two edged sword, its strength was also derived from religious fervor, which had to be taken into account, and was often at odds with good strategy and pragmatism.

i'm so confused. the crusaders were so hard headed to conquer Jerusalem. they tore up peace treaty's and were always constantly motivated to conquer Jerusalem. why suddenly did they stop the conquest twice when they were so close and decided to a deal with saladin? seems very out of character for the crusaders. is it possible that most of the crusaders victory's were overdramatized and fabricated?
@@muhammedyusuf9923 Because they were driven by power and greed.
@@incumbentvinyl9291 makes no sense again. they came to a decision to a peace treaty. thats not like the crusaders at all: its almost random
They had a lot of power struggles after the battle of jaffa not allowing them to put together as strong of a force to march toward jerusalem and they had a significant foothold at this point and prior to this crusade they were in danger of being wiped out completely, plus they would still maintain access to the city on unhostile terms@@muhammedyusuf9923

This Guy guy was captured and then released with a deal to not attack Saladin. First thing he does is to betray ...
wth
If you look into the man, you realize it was completely in character. He arrived in the Crusader States in the first place because he had been exiled for murder after all. After his coup that saw him crowned as King of Jerusalem, betraying his oath to Saladin is rather minor and, to be honest, probably not unexpected on the part of Saladin (he did release him to stir up trouble in the Crusader camp after all).
In that time frame, it was quite common on both sides of the Crusader/Jihadi divide to not view oaths to the other as not being binding. The Koran allows deception when dealing with Infidels and Catholic clergy were quite willing to "absolve" their nobles of any vows sworn.
@@takeiteasy2305 deception is allowed in war. War is war. He is not completely wrong but yes oaths are taken seriously and yield consequences if broken otherwise

So yeah as interesting as it might sound, they will actually fail. Logistics will also be a huge problem with the arrival of low supplied huge army of Barbarosa. Lack of supply and infighting of leaders always never yield good result.
@@Bazerald777 I am pretty sure Barbarossa's army would resuply once they reached the crusader states, there was also a crusader suply fleet. Barbarossa was the Emperor he outranked a king like Richard he was also pretty ironwilled. It would not be easy for Richard to mess with him or try to openly opose him. And with the extra numbers the crusader would be in a stronger position. It would certainly be interesting to see Richard, Barbarossa and Saladin interacting.

What a chad
Dude was lucky Saladin did not kill him when he fell off his horse

You guys consistently put out great content, thanks a lot!
Perfectly done, as always! 👏👏👏
Nice and comprehensive documentary. Keep it up!!
This is an EXCELLENT video!! Amazing job!
Fun thing is that I was reading about the 3rd Crusade when Kings & Generals dropped this video
What were you reading?
AMAZING!
@@arttulaulainen8651 a book about the Crusades but from the perspective of the Muslims. The writer`s name is Amin Maalouf. Really nice one.
@@wingedhussar4219 I'm reading one just called "Crusades", it has both Western views and the Muslim views described in it and it also goes over the effects the Crusades have over the modern world.
@@tylerwhaley4872 the one with the effects of Crusades is really interesting. My book at the end I think has some pages talking about this. Hope you enjoy reading it.
Thanks for uploading it all as a one hour version!
Most fascinating history... shows us just how unpredictable warfare can be. I cannot marvel enough at the resilience, ingenuity, and energy of the Crusaders that allowed them to overcome overwhelming obstacles...
dude I love the introduction of both armies and their commanders at 1:04:25 right before the Battle of Arsuf
This documentary was amazing! Very very very nicely done! Congrats!

@@maximvsdread1610 pfffft you’re dead I ate a vitamin gummy bear 7 years ago
Me: *assumes its the usual 20min video and starts to watch*
Me: *after almost an hour* Love it how these videos last an eternity! Simply Amazing Stuff!
Also Me: *Finally sees the Timestamp at the bottom of the video* Ah... now i see... oh well, no matter. *Keeps watching*
Edit: Wauw didnt expect this much likes for some random comment i made about my train of thought yesterday in a non-sober state. *Me Today* 'Oh someone commented me somewhere lets see, then *BAM! 240 in my face*' Thnx ppl, you are awesome! Really brightened up my Evening, this sudden suprise!
I hvthis is the gayest fucking thing
I'll like sober you than
Getting attention made your day 🤣
@@christianbateman2 I only shared my thoughts JFF, did not expect anyone, let alone 315 people liking it. Thats what made my day. The one seeking attention right now is you, and ive chosen to give you some, so you wont feel so loneley today.
I love how you wrote your reasoning in the comments.
Reminds me when I started playing EVE Online during a free month and after some months I still thought I was still under the free month. Kept going for the rest of the year.
Love these longer more in depth videos must be much more effort but I wish they were all in this longer format love your work k&g
I still can't believe, we can watch this fantastic content for free and on any device. What a time to be alive!
Hi I love your channel, & especially loved the video on lord Thomas Cochrane, & I am eagerly waiting your next video about the continuation of his adventures
Listening to this while drawing medieval warriors. I need more of this!!!
@@aaraviii No it’s Theophano. The protagonist of my graphic novel.
The Third Crusade had it all: brilliant commanders, religious struggle, unexpected maneuvers, and MTVs Dan Cortese.
I appreciate the hard work you put into your fantastic videos, mate! So informative & entertaining. I wish you told how Richard took back Jaffa in its entirety though. It's my favourite part of his whole campaign in the Holy Land, how he rushes onto the beach with sword in one hand & crossbow in the other, takes the city with a handful of men, then rides over to the Muslim army by himself to challenge them & none dare accept. Truly stunning courage.
Saladin's respect and honor shone brighter than many knight's
@Joshua张志鸿 SEETH
@Joshua张志鸿 He was the man of character, a man is not a man without impeccable character.
Saladin, is the Gold Standard to measure a military commander's character. Even the word Saladin is a synonym of Strength of Character.
Ahsan Butt you mean the guy who betrayed the man who raised him as an orphan and married that mans wife?
... which is why he forced the women of Jerusalem into sexual slavery. A paragon of impeccable honor, this man!
@Joshua张志鸿 No, he did do that, according to his own biographer, who takes great delight in talking about how these women were treated by Saladin's army.
I have honestly watched this episode about 20 times so far! It's just amazing bravery and tactics!
Very nice love that it was such a long video really nice job !!!
I wish you guys would make more compliation videos like this, I listen to your stuff at work, and it's bothering to download all the tiny videos individually!
More excellence! Thanks K&G!
Love these full documentaries you guys are doing. Often some of the best on the topics someone can find on TH-cam. I would love it though if you could do one on the Second Punic War and the clash between Hannibal Barca and Scipio Africanus. That would be great.
Respect to saladin from spain
Salam 😘
😍
Pay your jizzia
Its not hate i respect dangerous things and people. Dont you know your history?
@@fookyu1621 "pay jjizya" such a smart kid. Where did you read or see that? Let me guess: wikipedia?
When I was thought about this Crusade at school it made it seem like it was a meh accomplishment for the knights. This documentary actually portrayed how high level the battles are for both the Lionheart and Saladin. One of the best rivalry in history.
Accomplishment? How did you comprehend accomplishment from that? The Crusaders again wasted human lives and destroyed land and people to come again and again and fail over and over and die in the sands.
@@amilitarymind Sounds pretty biased lol. Almost like you've been influenced by a bias education system rather than taking history for what it is.
Because by that standard every war is pointless, so why act so upset about it?
This is such a good video!!!! Absolutely love it!
VERY VERY WELL DONE 👍 I COULD LISTEN TO THIS ALL DAY 💪🙌
Very well researched & well presented 👍
Damn Richard fighting in backyard of other is not cup of tea for everyone. And King Saladin hold his nerve very aptly. Amazing commanders both were. Respect.
