Where would modern Europe be if it weren’t for soldiers going on morning strolls
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.
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.

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.

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.
@@firestorm1088 saladin was way too soft, that was his problem

The use of camels by Saladin reminded me of how Surena did the same trick against the Romans at Carrhae.

Interesting thing to think about. While Richard, Baldwin and Salah ad-Din were duking it out for supremacy in the Holy Land.

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.

In early 1192, the leadership of the Third Crusade decides to not siege Jerusalem because of the high risk in doing so 1:24:56: The Third Crusade's second advance toward Jerusalem. However, the Third Crusade decided to not siege Jerusalem for the second time. 1:26:21: Battle of Jaffa between The Third Crusaders under Richard the Lionheart and Muslims under Saladin. A decisive victory for The Third Crusaders. The Battle of Jaffa was the last major battle of the Third Crusade. 1:30:10: Treaty of Jaffa in 1192 - 3 years of truce. Saladin retained control of Jerusalem, but Christians allowed to visit the holy city. Some Crusader forts allowed to continue to exist. This treaty ended the Third Crusade.
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
Wayna Ya Salahuddin. We need you more now than ever to protect us. Salahuddin translates to "righteousness of the faith"
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 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.
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

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.

dude I love the introduction of both armies and their commanders at 1:04:25 right before the Battle of Arsuf
This channel is just absolutely incredible. The best way to pass time.
This was amazing. Thanks for the longer video, never ceases to amaze me how you recount events in such detail. Your videos are truly fascinating to the point where my watch later list is now just full of your content
Richard invaded Cyprus because the island's leader, Isaac Komnenos, had taken Richard's sister and fiancee as prisoners in 1191. Cyprus was a rich island that lay on a strategic route to the Holy Land. Richard knew this and the imprisonment of his sister and fiancee turned out to be a blessing in disguise. After the conquest of Cyprus, the island was sold to the Knights Templar giving Christendom a Christian stronghold in the eastern Mediterranean up until the Battle of Lepanto and equally important for Richard, it secured for him precious funds and resources for his goal of retaking Jerusalem.
He took cyprus because it was strategic and right there, anything else is just a bs excuse
What a great video. I can't imagine what Richard and Saladin must have went through in order to come out like this. They led a very strategic war and limited the bloodshed. Respect.
The best video series of it's kind. I a blown away by the content. It has helped me immensely in a project that's for my university.
i can't believe i actually watched all of it i didn't even realize the time lol Kings and Generals are so good at teaching History love this!!!
Best of the best
Having already watched your Hashashin video, it was a lovely tie-in. I love all the scheming that so often gets glanced over in the public memory of the Crusades.
Thank you for all the hard work!!!, I just enjoy watching all these videos. I have leaned so much!!
Fantastic! Since childhood at boarding school i always used to draw up strategic battles like these as i learned them in History. Still fascinated with ancient and modern military strategy, historical and current.
Was waiting for you guys to do a video about the Battle of Hattin but i was amazed to see 1&half hour documentary and gladly enjoyed it, thanks
Keep safe everyone from Corona Virus guys, so we can still watch this awesome documentary and K&G also can create awesome history documentary for us to enjoy.

A very detailed explanation .. I really did enjoyed watching this historical event..thank you
That was absolutely brilliant history well presented, well narrated and thoroughly enjoyable
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'll like sober you than

@@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.
I love it when you guys cover the crusades I’ve been waiting for this 👍
Such a great man,thank u for this wonderful doc.I've been interested in Saladin since Medieval total war kingdoms
I still can't believe, we can watch this fantastic content for free and on any device. What a time to be alive!
Great documentary! I like the new format. It takes a lot of context to explain each battle. It's not just number of soldiers.
This channel is being run professionally with so much of fascinating details! I have spent 3 days my off time on watching. Definitely best one with Lindybeige. Gave me lots of knowledge and a new perspective on facts I have already knew.
Straight up you guys rock ,You have a muslim watching history about the Crusades , You guys can make me watch air moving , ive binged the hell out of your videos
you do realize that half what he said in this video is not true and he only reads of the crusaders accounts and not the Muslim ones. small example the aka treaty he said salah adein tried to stall for time. how can he stall for time when Richard already entered aka and the garrison surrendered in return for their lives to be spared in july 11th and Richard murdered them in august when they should have left on july 11 but richard arrested them breaking his promise to spare them and that is the Muslim account of what happened so who makes sence
Oh quit bitching

Saladin was trustworthy, honest, merciful and forgiving, strong and motivated, bold but also cautious, reasonable and decent, resilient, just, patient and above all man of his word. All qualities you want to see in a leader!
Sure he was
So how many battles did he win against Richard again? Outnumbering him by what? 2:1? 10:1 at Jaffa? Well... ;)
@@michaelwiesinger2643 The Third Crusade was a humiliation for Saladin lol
If you read what Saladin did after conquering Jerusalem, you will get a different picture
@@RamanShrikant well most pep!e forgot the battle in which Saladin defeated Richard
Perfectly done, as always! 👏👏👏
Thanks for uploading it all as a one hour version!
This was very entertaining and well produced. Superb work
Coming from muslim, i respect slahdin for his achievement he is a icon for muslim , also huge respect to baldwin even he was sick he was truly intelligent and fearless may Allah bless em i wish we end this beef between Muslims and Christians and realize that we have a lot of similarities, a slam elikom.
Another compilation? What a treat.
You guys consistently put out great content, thanks a lot!
This was really overwhelming for Saladin , fighting many kingdoms at once , their endless resources and armies ...
You do realize the crusade didn't succeed as much because the crusaders virtually had no supplies and had to attack along the coast? Saladin had loads of supply compared to them.
@@marcus-vu8gj you realize they (crusaders) all had better Armor and even had crossbows? On the other hand Saladin’s army were poorly equipped.
@@volt3631 Not really. They just had a different style of fighting, Arab armies tended to favor mobile cavalry and light infantry, whereas the European armies favored shock cav and heavy infantry.
@@bearistotle2820 I get you but the Arabian archers had little to no utility in the battlefield because of the crusaders armor. The arrows bounce off. Although the Arabians had mobile cavalry and infantry the armor and equipments and crossbows were overwhelming if you watch other battles of the Arabs you’ll see that they were always bad at archery and susceptible to archers.
@@volt3631 the thing you fail to notice is that the main piece of gear or equipment for a European knight was his horse. Those light archers would kill hundreds of horses. Maybe not killing the knights but slowing them and adding fatigue
U know what! I have found my passion and interest by watching ur documentaries. Much love for ur work ❤️
This documentary was amazing! Very very very nicely done! Congrats!

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...
Yes Ty for this whole series!! Love the Rivalry of two Noble War Lords..
Listening to this while drawing medieval warriors. I need more of this!!!

Nice and comprehensive documentary. Keep it up!!
The quality is so superb in this channel.
I have honestly watched this episode about 20 times so far! It's just amazing bravery and tactics!
During the battle of Iconium, when Barbarossas troops were getting pushed to the wall, he rallied his troops by (supposedly) exclaiming : "But why do we tarry, of what are we afraid? Christ reigns. Christ conquers. Christ commands". Have to admire the discipline he managed to instill into his men with both fear and respect, one of the greatest HRE emperors without a doubt
what does HRE stand for

This is an EXCELLENT video!! Amazing job!
Its truly inspirational the sheer will power and true grit, piety and defiance these crusaders had. Imagine marching 1000's of miles in foreign and most times hostile territory being harassed all the way from the heart of Europe. Most of the time they were heavily outnumbered, out resourced, had very little reinforcements, very little knowledge about the land they were in (not to mind the scorching heat and wearing heavy Armor) knowing that they would eventually have to fight many gruelling battles and WIN!! just so they could control the Holy Sepulchre so that Christians could pray in peace. Meanwhile dealing with all the politics of back home. Trying to juggle all this and having this in the back of your mind while also dealing with Saladin. What Richard did at Jaffa was like something out of a fantasy story..the man charging and breaking Saladin for the third time Truly remarkable (Saladin knew of the ships inbound, he had men stationed on the beaches to prevent Richard from landing Richard then charged up to Jaffa and defeated the Muslims there as well, the defenders were hemmed in the citadel, also he had so few knights, they were named individually by a poet or monk who recalled the battle I cant remember) , Deus Vult
