  • The First Crusade was one of the most extraordinary, bloody and significant episodes in medieval history. It began with an appeal for aid from the Christian Byzantine Empire, threatened by the rising power of the Muslim Seljuk Turks. But when Pope Urban II preached a sermon at Clermont in 1095, the result was unlike anything ever seen before.

    Old school viewers of Epic History TV will know that we released our First Crusade series all the way back in 2017, but a compilation video seems to be the most popular way to watch a series these days, so here it is! I hope you enjoy our coverage of the extraordinary events of the first and most successful of Crusades - whether it's your first time, repeat viewing, or last time you only got as far as Antioch... Don't forget Patreon is the place to get ad-free early access to all our videos, as well as a say in what we do next.. www.patreon.com/EpicHistoryTV

      All parts just means the whole series is shown together in one video instead of 3 or 4 different video clips which is how he always does it. He makes a certain amount or certain section and releases that and then he makes the next section and releases that and so forth and so on until he’s complete. Once he’s done with the last part he just edits the whole thing together and releases it as “All Parts” 😅

      This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs. Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20.
      Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God.
      Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc

    A lot of older knights went on the Crusades, knowing that they wouldn't be coming back. As for the younger knights, it was the perfect opportunity for those looking for promotions, or looking to earn their knighthood by combat. Common fighters who had been trained for combat, but didn't have titles, went along expecting to come back as "Sir."

      You are participating in the lies about the past, being vague and satanic because of how your words are lies. "Looking" and "expecting" are satanic words that are lies because of their satanic numerology, like how expecting is part of a satanic spellcasting ritual because the word begins with ex, and their positions in the alphabet are 5 and 24, which add to 29, and 29 is 2 times 9, which equals 18, which is 6 times 3, or 666, the number of the beast, that we are made to take, or the name of the beast, or the mark of the beast, or not buy and sell, which is written in Revelation chapter 13 verses 17 to 18. The dust of the Earth was lowered and all of what we do is not how the Most High created the doings to be. What we do and what the world is, are both corrupted to amaze and confuse us and make us view Satan as if he is Jah (Psalms chapter 68 verse 4) and using apostrophes, which are unnecessary and only promote confusion and lower dust.

      @MondoBeno Nope. Knighthood was given in Europe, and not a single foot soldier expected to upgrade to knight.
      It is a Victorian romantic view about these times, that doesn't fit reality by far.
      The fairy tales of lone knights fighting for a ladies honor are from the 19th century.
      To maintain yourself as a knight you had to have three trained horses, full armor, swords in good shape, ten to twenty foot soldiers to look after all your gear, enough food to feed yourself and your personnel, bows, arrows, and other gear for your soldiers etc etc. So they were not travelling from castle to castle as romantics want you to think, they had to own a big estate, with lots of farms, who each delivered a soldier in times of combat. And their tasks as knight were combined with other official tasks like policing, tax collection, local judge, and advisor of the duke, count or bishop they served.
      And it may surprise you: They had to be married! This caused problems with the knight orders that were founded, by joining them the knight left all his earthly possessions to the order and disinherited his wife and offspring. That is how those orders became extremely rich. The 'marriage' between knight and order had to be at least three years for his family to loose everything, so the order did all they could to keep him alive for those years, often the only reason for a knight to become a member in these harsh circumstances.

      Did muslims in these 400 years massacre christians? Killed children? Like what crusaders did when they took down the muslim cities? You need to know that muslim conquests were strictly organised to not kill innocent people, the killing occurs only during battles (this did not include killing of women even if they were in the battle field, just men), whenever a city is conquered, the people of this city become part of the islamic caliphate people, they can continue their lives normally and practice their faith freely, these things are documented by christian historians not just by muslims, for example, when Omar Ibn Al-Khattab, the second caliph, conquered Jerusalem, it occurred without a drop of blood, the christians in it handed him the keys peacefully and he made contracts with them to not harm them in any way, and he brought back the jews who were exiled from Jerusalem by christians and gave them their rights. But what happened when crusaders invaded muslims lands? You can search about that to see that for example when they took down Jerusalem, they killed any muslim or jew in it, they literally smashed the children heads, historical documents say that the blood in Jerusalem on that day reached knees.

      This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs. Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20.
      Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God.
      Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc

      Actually, his accent is far more rhotic than the Standard British Accent. Initially, it made his narration seem more epic, but it's become quite irritable for me, and that sort of feel doesn't go well with this period of history, either.
      After watching the video, I am disappointed that many important details are left out, leaving the story not flowing well. For better tellings of medieval history, channels like Kings and Generals and Flash Point History are definitely better. Extra History's series on the First Crusade, while not showing the battles, and only having still images, has a lot of interesting information about the characters and people, that is not mentioned in other tellings of it, from other channels. Kings and Generals and Flash Point History show more maps with battles, with less of a focus on the personal side.
      This video only provides a brief overview of the First Crusade, probably intended for people who don't already know much about medieval history. For people who already do, Epic History is doing a disservice, and this video probably isn't worth watching.
      The non-medieval videos are good, though.

    Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes.

    I watch many videos of this nature. One thing that I think would improve ALL OF THEM would be the inclusion of the 4-digit year, at ALL TIMES, in one corner of the screen, so that the viewer can remind himself which year this is taking place in again. For as many videos of this nature as I watch, I'm still amazingly bad at placing the decade or even the century of many major events of which I've watched numerous multi-hour-long videos on. In short, keeping a year posted in a corner at all times, would, in my strong opinion, drastically boost the educational effectiveness of these videos.

    The first place my mind always goes to is imagining how tough and masculine the members of the first crusade must have been. Particularly the 12,000 that made it to Jerusalem. Nowadays we regard the men who fought in WW2 as extremely tough. Can you imagine one of the First Crusaders? The life of a Medieval peasant was already brutal and full of PTSD. On top of that, these guys hacked and sliced their way across continents into a completely alien world, having to cannibalize children along the way in order to not die.
