The First, Second, and Third Crusades: 1095-1192 | MEGA-COMPILATION DOCUMENTARY
By popular demand, here is a collection of all my full-length documentaries on the first crusades in a single mega-compilation documentary. As a bonus, the compilation starts with an all-new presentation on the background history of the Crusades period. Drawing on source material from Latin, Arabic, and Greek sources, we look at the history from all perspectives. The Crusades were one of the most significant and fascinating epochs of the medieval era. Involving a clashes and encounters of many kingdoms, cultures, and personalities, Crusades history plunges the student into some of the most riveting aspects of the medieval world. This compilation highlights the deeds of some of the period’s biggest characters, like Godfrey of Bouillon, Bohemond, Kilij Arslan, Zengi, Niklot, Saladin, Frederick Barbarossa, Richard the Lionheart and more!

Praise be God finally we found one of the very rarest documentaries. There’s that it’s taking history. Seriously, this is not a game. This is not to have gestures, laughing and giggling like little kids, showing animal crackers thank you very much we need to preserve our history and remember it because because it’s serious and it’s so should take. Hey, Siri is documentary. Should be serious this is not a game. This is not for kids. This is not to have grown-ups laughing and poking fun. They don’t need their own show. This is history.

Well I said I wanted to learn about the crusades, and I should finish the video before 4 am
Your dates are wrong.
Did you use the game Crusader kings for some of the background video?
Based video bro, God bless❤
This is absolutely epic, the best and I hope someday a movie trilogy will cover all these fantastic events and characters
What the heck type of feature is it that i click on comments and ruin my video??!!!!

The crusades were the dumbest wars ever. So many millions killed for nothing.
Amen❤❤❤
HATE AI voiceovers. Horrible.
10:00 When you mention Palestinian Syrian region do you imply that the region was called Palestine?
"Jerusalem, located in Judea in the Roman province of Palestine". I see you working. Brilliantly-put: Accurate, thorough, and giving no opportunity to anyone to feel offended.
Incredible work man! Thank you!
So sad that so much death was exacted in the name of the rather pacifist Jesus. I don’t think he wanted for any of it to happen!
Yes
Awesome video and very informative however I’ve never watched a video with so many adds
We are reliving the invasion of the Islamic state across Europe and the America’s. This should be a warning to all Christians.
I loved listening to this while at work. I’ll prolly listen to it again ❤
If only Jesus’ words "my kingdom is not of this world" had been paid attention to…. All that effort to be more faithful… And none of it biblical…
“Which would come to be known as the FIRST CRUUSAAADE.” Excellent narrative choice to continually emphasize the word “crusade” as such.
What should we do about the modern day invasion of islam? They are taking over our governments and out breeding us. When does the call go out… or do we simply go extinct as they intend.
When are people going to wake up from the Religious belief? We keep repeating the history over and over again they improve their war strategy everytime
Explain this in nba terms?
Science is God
This video is FULL OF LIES AND DECEPTIONS.
The crusades were not only against the Ottoman empire , they were against Christians and Jews at the same time, at that time when crusades used to treat Christians & Jews with oppression and unjust , at the same time they where a big threat to the Islamic empire , the Ottomans as any country would do , they had wars with these despicables killers to Muslims, Jews & Christians , that’s why when the Ottomans win wars against them , most of the Christians who was oppressed by these lunatic disbelievers the CRUSADES , and see the difference of how the Ottomans treating them fairly and protect them as their own citizens, most of them they converted to islam, in which made the CRUSADES getting crazier , as an example … in ( Alandalus ) what called now SPAIN , these crusades were king and torturing all Muslims, Christians and Jews as well know as ((( the inquisition ))) , until the Ottoman empire send their Navy army and saved them from the crusades, the took them to what known now as Turkey , check the history if you don’t believe in that.
Crusades…are pure evil , they don’t belong to Christianity, they are obsessed with wars and killing , crusades and Zionists are 2 face for one coin , they will never last.
Do you think there will ever be a fifth crusade?
Some of the graphics look like they were created for a PC game…but I am not mad about it.
As you said Syria where Philistines (Palestinians) lived. Not in Jersalem. Still trying to find Palestine on a map. Syria don’t want them……
I need a game about a soldier in each crusade
Amazing video Listening while at work is great! Also your intro really draws you in, it’s fantastic! Great work!
There is nothing captivating about this poor documentary
The Holy Land belongs to the Jews & Christians. Muslims are trying to invade western society with their Sharia Law just like all those years ago that lead to these Crusades. AVE CHRISTUS REX!
War and war
It would have been entirely appropriate to explain just how barbaric and oppresive the muslims were in conquering then ruling over 2/3rds of Christendom. Their savagery made Romans seem almost child-like.
the best documentary
2:14:32 "hey, I’m Jamie, and today on myth busters, we’re gonna see if a shield wall can stop a direct Norman cavalry charge"
I’m actually surprise a huge portion of this was on the reconquista, ave dominus rex
2026 anyone?
Logistics decide most wars.
When a history hobby turns into job, well done !
Armenians still fighting Turks trying to protect it’s Christian churches and lands in 2025.
Such an intriguing topic. I’m dropping a video this week diving deeper into this – stay tuned if you’re into mysterious stuff like this!
