The First Crusade: Jerusalem Falls (2/2)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.ค. 2024
- Part 2 of Epic History TV's story of the First Crusade continues with the Siege of Antioch. The Crusaders endure immense hardships outside the city walls, but finally take Antioch thanks to a ruse by Bohemond of Taranto. Against the odds, and inspired by their recent discovery of a relic believed to be the 'Holy Lance', the Crusaders then defeat the Seljuk army of Kur Burgha. After disagreements within the Crusader camp, the army finally moves on to Jerusalem in the spring of 1099. During a full-scale assault of the city walls, Godfrey of Bouillon's troops gain a foothold in the defences, and Crusader troops pour into the city. A bloodbath follows. Victory results in the creation of four Crusader states, but their existence is precarious, surrounded by hostile Muslim powers, who will one day return with a vengeance.

Thanks for watching.
Thanks! We'll have to wait and see what Patreon supporters vote for next!
being a student of history one should not be biased and should be out of bigotry. You have only asserted the Christian perspective of history. A video full of prejudice by not consulting the Muslim authors.
superb really enjoyed this thank you
you are very good in delivering a documentary, keep up the good work man.
2nd crusade please
It's so cool to see accurate models of cities like Antioch complete with terrain, it gives such a better understanding of the battles!
Indeed. People like Baz Battles do amazing battle videos, but the 3D maps really lets you understand why terrain affects battles in the way they do and why assaulting Antioch was not a matter of just surrounding the city.
Resileaf absolutely true man
The problem I have is this all can’t be true it’s to long ago to have exact facts it would have been exaggerated over the years until the point it was no longer near what happened like Chinese whispers
@@legend3533 this is written history not oral so yeah. It is as accurate as possibile
@@parkyamato9450 over the years it could have been changed and things added or exaggerated there is no way possible to actually prove it to be true these things happen but it will never be concrete evidence
Brilliant work Epic History! I did my dissertation on the Crusades. Have to say a very interesting time in history. Still have my copy of God's War by Christopher Tyerman.
Thank you Simple History! Glad you enjoyed it. Funnily enough, I was taught A-level history by Chris Tyerman!
Why didnt you pick the Christian on Christian Crusades in Europe ?
Far more interesting
Far more vicious
Far more hidden by the Church and school and education system.
Not even the Popes believed it was Gods war.
Saint Augustine had set out the parameters of "Jihad" (Holy War) in the 6th century.
The Crusades didnt apply as a "just war" or a Holy one.
The whole thing saved Europe's system from collapse into anarchy / starvation / overthrow of the feudal system , and made the Church and Aristocracy INCREDIBLY wealthy.
Ever wonder why no Popes or Kings went on the First Crusade ?
Because every knight , Lord or peasant gave everything they had to their local Lord /King or Bishop to finance their expedition.
in 1095 Europe was literally about to have a massive coronary .
They needed a way to get rid of as many knights and farmers and hungry mouths as possible.
ONE WAY TICKET TO HEAVEN ANYONE ??!!! Yes please !
anything to get out of this disease ridden damp shithole.
Alexius expected 300 Norse mercenaries. (at most)
He got 198,000 average people armed with pitchforks and sticks led by a monk (Peter)
They were all slaughtered - thats 198,000 problems solved.
198,000 farms to the local lords and Church.
Then followed the wealthy people who had ALSO given everything to the Kings and Church .........the majority of them died.
JOB DONE
Europe became stable.
Stable enough to borrow Arab knowledge and have a RENAISSANCE .
We owe our so called "civilisation" to them.
But they have oil . So we keep killing them , not to steal it but to control how its sold.
IN THE DOLLAR.
Simple History you commenting is cool
Dome of the Rock, I'm now confused. 1099 is the year, the building wasn't made till the year 1327!! Sooooo SOMEONE IS LYING.
History is fake.
Aquired Holy Lance:
+10 Inspiration
+10 Holy Damage
+100 DEUS VULT
It would be really nice if they included the numbers of combatants, to give a bit of perspective on the scale of the battle rather than just seeing these tiny little blocks.
@@CircumcisionIsChildAbuse Did you not pay any attention to the video then? It clearly sayd there were an army of 60k troops. mentioned numbers few more times during these 2 parts...
@@CircumcisionIsChildAbuse Those kind of precise battle details are probably not available, only open to speculation, unfortunately. Wish there was though.
Jerusalem belongs to Jews now.
+10 hindrance.
+10 necrotic damage
+100 waste of time
The Jewish Capital now.
*Finds random holy relic*
Your party has gained 30 morale
Every paladin in the party used the blessing of kings buffs.
+20 healing when morale is high and +Crit damage
What about when they discovered the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch and used it to destroy the city walls
I can't believe it has taken this long to get a Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch joke in the comments!
"First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
thou shalt not throw the Holy Hand Grenade to thine own brethren, deus vult
Pyrus What about the Holy Nuke of Nubia?
Pie Iesu domine, dona eis requiem.
Pie Iesu domine, dona eis requiem. Pie Iesu domine, dona eis requiem. Pie Iesu domine, dona eis requiem.
>Captures Jerusalem
>Yay mission accomplished
>Let's go home now
????
they had families back home, only the cadet noble remained
The real mission was to lose Constantanipole .
CLAY
????= And
To Heaven
The Crusaders arguing among themselves was their downfall. Thank you for another great historical video!
@Yusuf patel And that's never changed.
@Yusuf patel Hardly comparable
In fighting can always ruin a good campaign. I mean even in team based video games today, salt pours, toxicity goes up. Recipe for disaster
@@Nierez Yeah, humans naturally seek out strength and disparage easily. When a great 'leader' in command. It's very different. IE...Alexander the Great, Mao Zedong...
@@JamezOwnU101 yeah, that's the problem of us men. That supposed Leader is what strengthened and unifies the whole group. And if that said leader left, the whole group starts crumbling apart.
I love how they just went home lol. "Ok we did it lets go"
Loving the battle graphics, great work guys!
Thank you!

"BARBARIC, but NOT unique for the AGE!!"(profound👍)
The sad truth was that its normal for an attacking force to sack a city if it did not surrender.
Yes before labeling only the Christians as man slaughter, every civilisation did it at some point
The idea of *not* sacking, pillaging and slaughtering a conquered city is a very modern idea. Better logistics and more organized fighting probably contribute to this greatly. In our time, of course, war crime tribunals and media coverage help as well.
@@kohinarec6580
Not necessarily. Cyrus of the Achaemenid empire, the first Muslim Caliphs etc all spared the cities they conquered. Not that Muslims or any other civilization (they certainly did) didn't engage in destruction and plunder, bu that it was not uncommon for conquerors to spare the conquered.
It was possibly not unique for Europeans, but sent shockwaves throughout the Muslim world, who have not encountered such violence before. It was a common occurrence for a city to change hands, as Jerusalem changed hands just months before the Crusaders arrived. Arab and Turkish historians of the time describe the event with disbelief and disgust. Muslims did not exert the same amount of violence against Crusader states in the two centuries after, and they spared everyone's lives when they took back Jerusalem. The "both sides" argument is usually mistaken with objectivity, but we have to do justice to the truth.
Holy shit! This video deserves thousands time more views. What's wrong with TH-cam system? You guys need some advertisement.
Haha, thanks! Please help spread the word!
Advertisement = censorship or a forced biased future for the channel.
No
@Kürassier1806 how?
i would send all of my friends if there were Turkish subtitles... i 'll send it anyway :D
very unbiased video, congratulations for your professionalism, good sourcing, and video quality !
@Pingu Thing its called war loser
It's biased. He didn't say that the anatolian Turks massacred the Greeks as revenge and the crusade of Jerusalem was a fail
@@ubisons6161 Do you have any source on the revenge massacre?
@@pliniogoiania don't waste your time with this idiot,he's clueless.
@@ubisons6161 Was he the one killing the Greeks? Your reaction makes you look like an idiot because instead of coming back with a good source to prove him wrong and yourself right, you come back and call him a terrorist. Just get a valid source and try and remain respectful. If you're upset that someone called you an idiot, then prove them wrong and call them an idiot afterwards, no need to resort to childish insults
You guys deserves a lot more views. Your videos have great animation, great narrator, great historical retellings, just great everything! Keep it up!!
Thank you!
Millions
Narrator's voice is like shitting Gold. Freaking Awesome voice!
Can actually make someone sleep with that clear voice.
My interest in Age of Empires got me here.
Koshuwu Mahre LMAO SAME
Same here man!
Bohemond of Taranto seems like the bad ass of all the feudal lords. His accomplishments damn!
Tellement épique... C'est pas à l'école qu'on nous raconterait ça, on risquerait d'éprouver de la sympathie pour les Français et le catholicisme...
Ils veulent à tout prix nous faire croire que les chretiens et les musulman ne sont jamais affronter au contraire on est

Good documentary, I hope you will document all crusades
Do you mean, I hope you will all do crusades?
An Episode on the Albigensian Crusade would be awesome :3

Its like the good ol' history channel, only on youtube. Great work. Colorful and well-written.
The Zionazi Aliens Exist Because We Misinterpret Everything, A Third of Our Time is for Advertisements Channel? It's shit.
Amazing work! The quality of narration, how the historical facts are served and the beautiful imagery and reconstruction of battles make these videos astonishing, simply pinnacles of a history lesson. Thank you for making them for us!
Thank you! Glad you enjoy them.
I think I was a cartographer in my past life. This is an amazing way to learn history for me. Love the maps, terrain, break down of troop formation and battle strategy. Keep it up!!
Just absolutely love Epic History. So much time, research, and thought have gone into creating these. The animations are so good. Thank you for this incredible work.
These videos are amazingly well done! So glad I discovered this channel, great work guys!
After so long! Oh my god! I was notified straight away! THANKS! We need more!
this video was amazing!
the story telling, the battle details, and the varied animation too, such that it doesn't get monotonous
Loved the zoomed-in animations. They worked extremely well and looked beautiful even though this is the first time you did it
I was in Seminary, enjoyed Church History. I wish they had your videos. Finally it all makes sense.
Bohemond: look at me I’m the prince now
😂😂
I love you work, thank you for taking so much time to give us such educational videos!
The two first Crusade videos are no less than a historical movie. The narration, images, music and presentation were so amazingly intense that I literally held my breath as it unfolded. Brilliant work !!
Proud to say I'm subscriber 100'000, so glad I came across this channel tonight.
Dude i was waiting for this video for a such long time. Great job keep doing it.
Sometime in the future I think it would be really cool to do videos on the Northern Crusades. Keep of the good work! I love the style of these videos!
Thank you!
You and star media are the best history channels on TH-cam. Thank you.
Very entertaining, high-quality presentation that really makes learning history fun. Great job by all on this interesting channel!
Also have to say kudos for being non-biased & objective in presenting all the bloodshed committed by all sides.
The Crusades were just like any other wars; cruel, savage & brutal, where many innocent civilians were killed needlessly for either political or religious agendas. Nice to see history lessons like this presented with facts, without any spin to demonize or glorify either side.
That map of Antioch, Jesus Christ. I never thought about its scale and complexity
Excellent work creating these videos...
I love the narrator. Combined with the music, these episodes are amazing. I come back regularly to watch all of them on your channel.
The information about the Holy lance was amazing.
Loved the video.
2:50 Alexios had heard that the Crusade was over from Count Stephen of Blois, who was marching back towards Constantinople with his army after the food had run out in Antioch. Stephen made it all the way back to France, where his wife Adela (a daughter of William the Conqueror) demanded he go back and finish the Crusade. He made it back in time to get killed in a different battle where Godfrey's brother Baldwin left him to die. 🤷♂️
I am impressed with the quality of the job. Thank you very much. Very versatile. comparing many rubbish celebrity channels hope you hit the number you deserve
This video was uploaded two years ago... please more on the crusades. I have watched every single video uploaded on this channel, and I never miss any new uploads since I have my notification bell on. Your work is 'epic' guys.
Thank you, I love your work!
BRAVO SIRS!!!!

Excellent production, really a well done history.
To see Epic History working with Invicta was simply Awesome!!

i love learning about the past. thanks for making this!
New sub from this series. Great work! Love learning about history . Thank you!
Nothing but nothing can withstand true Faith! Deus Vult!
except the fact that every crusade after this failed to accomplish anything and the muslim forces recaptured everything in the end.
@@whowoulge1256 It is all about commitment. Sending soldiers thousands of miles away without any commissariat whatsoever it is a feat in itself. Crusaders fought relying only on their faith. Deus Vult!
I would love to see this as a legitmate movie.
Love the videos! Such high quality, definitely worth the wait!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Great Job as usual. Way to keep it EPIC.
And we'd like to thank you for these splendid informative and objective videos. You are awesome.
Very kind, thank you!
Those siege towers are mental!!
Your work is awesome!! What a fantastic video!! Cheers.
Excellent follow up!! The music, animations and the Narrator are top notch, love it.
Damn, the French were all over the place. The most interesting nation in world history. With the exception of Bohemund of Taranto - obviously a Norman himself - this was exclusively a French undertaking.
I am not sure but muslims called crusaders"franjer” ...mean french
In any event, at this time, the Normans were already more or less assimiled with the Salian Franks for a long time.
Whether in terms of Language ("Langue d'Oïl": Norman French), Trade, Marriage (Mixed DNA), Dress or Facial Looks, Art or War (EX: Chivalry, where the Vikings sailed and then fought on foot), and above all Religion (Christianity, and no longer pagans).
@@94R2Rue Yes "Al Franj" in Arabic - "The Franks" in English - "Les Francs" in French.
On the Muslim point of view, It became the permanent name of all contingents coming from Europe after the First Crusade, whether they come from France or not.
French... And Belgian/German. A third of the armies of the First Crusade were Belgian/German. Godfried & Baldwin of Bouillon hailed from what is now southern Belgium while Robert II, Count of Flanders obviously hailed from what is now Flanders, the northern part of Belgium.
@@OytheGreat They were mostly Franco-Flemings, not Germans. At least, not in the modern sense.
I learned some time ago that my ancestor and founder of my family, Yaghi Siyan, was the governor of Antioch under the Seljuk empire during the first crusade. He died during the sack but his family survived in Damascus.
how do you know that?
dani mouver Yeah exactly
dani mouver My ancestor was George washington
Vlady Boi no he’s mine
my ancestor was ngolo kante
