"GG WP" from the Pope is like the highest honor you can get as a medieval gamer.
The Arab conquests were the first examples of medieval gamers rising up
I'm pretty certain that is what's engraved on the Benemerenti.
Unless you’re a Mongolian gamer
Lol XD
GG WP.....LMAO.LMFAO.LOL.YOLO...PEOPLE OF TODAY ARE SO STUPID!!!!.....WHAT KIND OF LANGUAGE IS THIS
Both armies certainly had a lot Toulouse.
Leave now.
Get out
boy if you dont get lol
Did u just..?
The door is too good for you.
Al-Samh should have known that relaxing after a battle was a good way Toulouse.
Ooohhhh snap!
Goddamn puns. Lol
Get out.
Lol
Nice
There's a frankish nobleman called RADBOD, imagine his sixpack
That name is a fine germanic,christian name that you could name you children after.Also:Radbod, Radbot, Ratbod, Ratpot, Redbod, Redbad, Radboud, Rapoto, or sometimes just Boddo, is a Germanic masculine given name that may refer to:
Redbad, King of the Frisians (died 719)
Radbod (prefect) (833-54), Frankish prefect
Ratbod (archbishop of Trier) (died 915)
Radboud of Utrecht (died 917), bishop
Radbot, Count of Habsburg (died 1045)
Rabodo (died 1119)
Redbad (film), 2018 Dutch film
Radboud may also refer to
Radboud University Nijmegen (formerly Catholic University Nijmegen), called after Saint Radboud

👆this, is why I read comments
@@Soulise1o1 Manganelo comments are gold my friend. Most youtube comments are made by idiot children.
Very good!
This comment makes no sense for Latin speakers.
I've thought I had seen enough of these to know that whoever leaves his tent to take a morning stroll is about to have a very bad day. As it turns out, this gentleman had a pretty decent day but a very bad night.
In a story or cartoon or movie or book, everything mentioned serves a purpose, and nothing is accidental, so if in Scooby Doo, the background is a brighter colour than the rest of the scene, that means there will be movement there, and if some details are given in the early part of a book, that means they will probably resurface by the end. And here, if someone's stroll is mentioned it is because it was a remarkable one. They would not mention it otherwise.
If you never see carcassonne it's fortification and the medieval village are very well preserved!
Truly impressing fortifications, but mostly 13th century fortifications (albigensis crusade period), and heavily restored by Viollet-le-duc (not even mentioning some poor restaurations).
Did they surrender it undamaged?
@@yourstruly4817 I don't know. They have been restored and doesn't have any sign of damages.
I was expecting a broadgame reference, but instead they are serious. Hecc.
The fortifications were restored last century and paid by a rich donor
UPKEEP TOO GREAT!
You have recruited so many units
the treasury is buckling under the weight of their upkeep.
Capturing new territory would spread the cost,
as well as putting your troops to good use!
which game is this :D?

And if you lose units in the time of the campaigne that will have the same effect.
Odo: "Charles, the Muslims are attacking, I coud use some help here!"
Charles: "What happened to 'Mr. Independent' there? I thought you did not need us?"
Precisely what I would say
And he didn't need them.
Kevin Boros Charles “The Hammer” Martel and the Battle of Tours says differently
Sounds like something a shortsighted democrat would say.
@@ragnarlothbrok4281 can't blame Odo
If the Visigoths weren't so weak they'd have been fine
Absolutely loving the focus on the Early Middle Ages. No secret that it's my favourite era in history. Great to see it getting the attention it deserves. 'Dark Ages' = Absolute nonsense.
Certainly not very dark for the arabs
Medium rare ages?
History Time It’s about time they finally made another video on this topic I missed the buz battle so much
love your documentaries. I watch them while working out, it gets me in the flow
Tom Butthurt For Europe I wouldn’t say it was the time of dying till the Black Death. The continent finally surpassed Rome’s highest population in the 13th century and was developing pretty rapidly.

Ha, should have expected someone was going to say that before me. That'll teach me not to look at the comments before I post.

Perfect timing. I always sit down and eat lunch at my university and I always watch K&G, BB, Historymarche. Keep up the good videos

Don't forget Epic History tv
Curious fact: before the battle of Tours, Odo tried to ally with Uthman ibn Naissa, a muslim governor in Catalonia. Odo acceepted and his dauther got married with Uthman. Both wanted to maintain their independence from Charles Martel and the emir of Cordoba.
At the end they failed. Odo has submit to the Frankish. On the other side Uthman was executed, his head was sent to Damascus and his wife (the daugther of Odo) became a concubine in the harem of the caliph.
One question, do you have any Spanish battles prepared?
Is got to see the frankish tradition on making allies out of the enemies of your bretherens. Seriously why didn't the Papacy just excommunicate all of them or send an inquisition?
Javi Jimenez Battle of Aljubarrota.
Odo should've known better then to get mixed up with that filth, it never ever in any place ended anything but badly in the long term.
sad end for odo's daughter
@@alexandrub8786 The papacy didnt have that sort of power or influence in this period, Rome was a city in ruins and at times even a backwater.
Also, medieval inquisition was created in the 12th century and was nothing like the later 15th century/ renaissance you know of .
In the french subtitles, the old french word "ost" , which means "army" is incorrectly translated as "hôte", which is the modern french form of ths word "host". ("footman" has also been translated as "valet" instead of "fantassin"). But the video is very good. In France we mainly know about the battle of Poitiers, and i have nearly never heard about the battle of Toulouse before.
Last time I was this early, Normandy still belonged to that bastard named William.
Dude...
Uncool
I would like to say sire, that my lord william (that we call guillaume never understood where did you lost the g and the u's, probably where you find this w) has now conquered england and shall noty be named "the bastard"a anymore but the conqueror.
By the way, this Charles (soon to be "martel") also was a bastard.
Reminds me of game of thrones...
This whole conversation is like a monty python skit. You go guys!
@@romanpapec6735 I'm a huge fan of monthy python and similar british humour like blackadder, so thank you good sir !
I really appreciate that there were tiny blue infantry units shown stationed on the walls and patrolling the streets in the depiction of the town.
**Fun fact: the main roads in Toulouse still follow the path of the old city walls**
Bulwark -> Boulevard etc...
That's probably true for most European cities considering that most walls were used up until the 1800s
It is the same for Paris
Makes sense...I imagine those big foundations make excellent road base
@@geriharp132 The two main roads around a city I lived in are literally called Nordwall and Südwall...northern rampart and southern rampart.

Thank you for this story. I was born and living in Toulouse, and I didn't know this story about my city
After completing his reign as Duke of Aquitaine, Odo went on to serve as head of security for Deep Space 9.
This duke does appear to be of unknown substance.
Odo on deep space 9 would have been a perfect Duke.
Man Baz Battles I thought we had lost you forever. Haven't seen you post in a while. THANK YOU for your return. we salute you

I LOLd hard, thanks!
Odo took a huge risk by not committing his entire force during the 1st attack but it was a calculated one which will eventually pay off because he had as his disposal some fresh troops and, together with the rest that fought earlier, managed to surprise and defeat an unsuspecting Arab force.
As for Charles Martel, either by his own judgement or that of others around him, he eventually made the right choice by not providing help to Odo because everything will turn out to be what he really wanted from the get go.
If he committed his entire force to the first attack, he loses and then the city falls... it would be better to sacrifice the city rather than throw away his whole army in a battle he knows he cant win.
His solution of a small attack to give the impression his army was small and weak was genius. Using the Muslim cockiness against themselves is the highest general ship and would have made sun tzu very proud
@@johnnythreetimes3600 And that is why I said that he took a huge but calculated risk and that paid off. And yes, Sun Tzu would have been really proud.
Odo exposes their cockiness and Charles exposed their greed. Both really are military geniuses and completely understand how to get into their enemies head.
@@rayzas4885 Absolutely.
Not a huge risk at all. They were cavalry cavalry can easily disengage infantry.
Man. i gotta say. iv been watching these things for well over a year now. ur doing an awesome job. thankyou.

This is literally my favorite youtube channel. If you could manage to post more frequently I'd love you forever
I just discovered this channel and let me told ya that this is gold. Great background explanation, animations and exposition of the battle. Keep this good content!
I love your voice, it almost feels nostalgic hearing it when a new video is up.
Halelujah! Another BazBattles upload!!
Love when you make French history videos man! As always, great stuff.
BB is so amazing! Every time there is a new upload i am trilled with excitement! They are so wel made! Keep up the good work!!! 👍👍👍
Please upload more often. I'm a big fan of yours. Love to see more from youm
As a Basque/ Gascon I can tell you I was eagerly waiting for this one. Awesome storytelling and top notch animations. Nice work guys

A champion of christendom.

Thanks for covering this. Such an important battle, yet relatively unheard of.
I was checking your channel daily for new videos....
and just got a notification right now! 11 minutes of bazbattles, YAAAAAAAAAAAAY ME HAPPY BUNNY NOW!
Informative, interesting, and so fun to follow, greetings from France!
Your videos have the perfect mix of education and entertainment
Its good to see you back making Videos your Channel is the only one i get excited about !
This is a fantastic series of videos you have. Thank you for making them
10:05
Love how the symbol of the papal states just shows up, "gg wp" and vanishes 😂
Man I love this channel!
Love the way you do this battle history. Good on ya!
I love your videos, please never stop uploading.
And to think that much later Odo would end up successful again as the chief of security on a mining station out on the far frontier. What a guy.
He's back! The Madlad is back!
Hello I just wanted to say I love your channel and how you make your videos on history it would be great if you could make some more videos can’t get enough of them !!
Another great baz battles video. Always look forward to them.
Could you cover the rest of the campaign? You mention the battle of Bordeaux, so clearly a lot went on between 721 and 732.
"GG WP" the Pope in 721
I love your videos and how much time u put in them. Keep up the great work 👍
Good to see a new video from you guys
The thing I don't like about your videos
is that there aren't enough of them
Hurray new Bazbattles!
Candy!
Another outstanding production.Cheers!
Your voice is so soothing I don't know how to describe it. Well, at least it's great for narrating. Keep up the good work! :)
Rookie mistake, should have followed up with an attacking Narbonne. And secured the mountain passes. CK2 training has trained me well lol.
Al-Samh decided Toulose instead of playing Carcassone.
Joke aside , Having visited Carcassonne before I can understand why felt it was a little to big to chew .
You realy make the best Battle Videos, always looking forward to a nee one.
Awesome videos as usual, always high quality!
Needless to say that Odo had no time Toulouse :)
The people who fought these battles were our ancestors. Europe was formed by battle after bloody battle, but today people seem oblivious to the sacrifices made by our ancestors. Our freedoms came at a PRICE. Most people today can hardly name a single battle fought back in the day. This channel is great.
This is so well made - it's incredible!!
I love their graphics and how they keep improving them!
I like your style, would really like to see Catalaunian Fields 451, Tours 732 and some of the battles of the Reconquista. Too bad there is not a way to script a heavily modded version of Attila Total War to force battle outcomes and use the top down camera for your graphics, because I would totally help you make those. I've got my 12-year-old nephew hooked on your channel, he retains the information a lot more than just hearing me talk about these battles lol.
When Odo held the door.
It’s always a pleasant morning when I get a video from Baz
The first good video on this siege! Thank you!
I just grabbed my coffee and sat down. This is exactly what I wanted to watch.
Could I ask why?
@@laitchdasi Why I wanted to watch this? Cuz it's military history! And this channel excels at it. And first thing I want in the morning is something that gets me thinking. Stupid vids for later.
@@AresLeviathan that's awesome!
I actually like this channel that's something at least we have this in common ..
Good luck with the rest of your day.
I live in Toulouse
your content is so good bro, praise Be Bazbattles
I love this channel, right up there with my two favorite science channels PBS eons and PBS space time
Just a little note to add :
In France the latter battle of Tours is known as the battle of Poitiers and is still nowadays discussed mostly when the debate is about the cohabitation of catholics originated and Muslim originated French people. The French government of the late XIXth century wrote the history of the French nation notably by taking the battle of Poitiers as an example of French bravery against the Muslim invader. And depending on your history teacher, you can clearly hear that version of the story.
I love how your video clearly shows that the battle of Poitiers is more a strategic political move from Charles Martel than an act of Catholic bravery against the heretic (even tho it was also the case but was of lesser importance to his eyes).
Only Europeans these days could have a negative view of their ancestors protecting their own land from a invaded. Sad
Bravery against heretics? Unless Muslims are seen as a christian sect from Petra that split after the ... council of Nicea
@@JoeSmith-sl9bq To be clear, I've never said that. I'm just saying the way this battle is politically used nowadays to defend point of views is not so true. Yes this was an invasion, but not that threatening compared to Charles Martel power forces. Ideologies have twisted the complexity of the politics and turned it into simple monofocused visions.
@@2adamast You're talking about arianism there aren't you?
@@2adamast
At the time of the battle of Tours/Poitiers, the precise nature of Islam was quite unknown to franks, even theologians:
A fair number still believed it was simply a non-trinitarian variant of christianity, as it was common (especially among early medieval germanic tribes - arianism).
Thus, Islam at this time has often been confused with a rather common kind of christian heresy.
Pope "GG, WP" LOL
Love these video. Amazing work
Thank you for the french subtitles and good job.
This ODO and japanese odo nobunaga both defeated a larger invading army at night with element of surprise.
Coincident? I think not.

Honestly, I hate how short this video is, the ending where the slides talk about the aftermath is so very engaging that it comes as a disappointment that they weren't included in the animation.
Could you please do the Battle of Montgisard such an underrated battle.
Not really that of a battle ,saladin's army was ambushed and attacker from behind and some thought that saladin himself was killed.
Not that of a face to face battle
