Forged in Blood During the First Crusade | The Principality of Antioch

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ค. 2024
- One of the many so-called "crusader states" to have popped up in wake of the First Crusade, the Principality of Antioch spanned parts of modern-day Turkey and Syria. Under the reign of Bohemond of Taranto and Tancred, Prince of Galilee, the principality would expand its borders at the expense of the Byzantine Empire and various Seljuk vassals. However, following the disastrous Battle of Harran and eventually fall of Edessa, Antioch went into a period of decline. While this occurred, Nur ad-Din was able to essentially unite the Muslim factions of the Zengid Sultanate and the famed military leader, Saladin, pushed the Christian crusader states to the brink of collapse. Ultimately though, it would be the Mongol invasion that dealt a final blow to the principality.

This is easily the best history video on TH-cam. Great Job! I appreciate it:)
Thank you so much Joyce!!! We definitely are planning to do other videos dealing with ghost countries from around the time of the crusades.
Great job! Your video, especially the map animations, help me learn each ghost country’s location and invasion route visually; Looking forward to a new episode!
Oh, thank you so much Mimi; glad you liked the new visuals! We plan to use them more often in episodes going forward.
And once again I'm reminded what a convoluted (but interesting) mess the Crusader states were.
Thanks Artur and, yeah; I don't think either of us can dispute that. 😅 There definitely were a lot of moving pieces, both literally on the maps in this episode and the actual history behind it...hahaha
Fantastic video once again, this was a legendary period many brave soldiers died both Christian and Muslims. loving these videos there’s a lot of thing you mentioned which I never knew before.
Thanks so much man and glad to hear it! We both actually learned quite a few things doing research on this one as well; definitely will be revisiting the crusades again.
Very interesting video! I didn’t know that much about Antioch. Also, I think your map animations are improving with each video. Keep up the good work!
Oh, glad you liked the video and thank you so much! We tried some different things (animated arrows, etc.) with our maps this time around. We probably will continue doing so with future videos, but maps are definitely becoming a bigger part of our videos.
The maps are great in this video!!!
Fascinating. Great content!
Glad you enjoyed the episode Matt!
Oh, some more Komnenos in the video :D Seriously man, nice map editing here!
True 😂 and thanks!
Good video
Thank you again Jiayi!
👍👍Good Job
Thanks! 🙌
Do you know what it means to be a “principality” as opposed to a “county” ?
Principality is ruled by a prince while county is ruled by a count.

Such a shame that this once great Christian city barely exists anymore
First!
🥇
@@GhostCountries Seriously though, I really liked the video. The period surrounding the Crusades is just fascinating to me and I'm glad you started out with Antioch versus a more well-known Crusader State like Jerusalem.
@@nomad9135 Actually, we do plan to cover other Crusader States and ghost countries from this period (at some point), like the Ayyubid Sultanate of Egypt, Seljuk Empire, Sultanate of Aleppo, etc.
I know we've been considering the Sultanate of Rum to for quite a while now too.
@@GhostCountries Or a Ghost Biography about Nur-ad-Din! Fascinating person!
@@GhostCountries I've sort of been waiting for Sultanate of Rum since your Despotate of Epirus videos ;)
