Our historical animated documentary series on the Third Crusade started out with the siege and fall of Acre between 1189 and 1191, but that wasn't the end of the Crusade and the rivalry between the King of England Richard Lionheart and the Ayyubid Sultan Salah ad-din Ayyubi continued with the famous battle of Arsuf of 1191

Your channel's the best in youtube guys, I hope you do not stop. ❤ Very useful on my lectures.
Can you make a playlist about all the crysades video that you have made @kings and Generals
Who could ever have imagined we'd have such quality documentaries for free? Had the History Channel had these 15 years ago, they never would have bothered with aliens!
i liked the alien stuff, it was light heartened filler between documentaries, it wasn't until the documentaries became filler for Pawn Star marathons where things fell apart.
@@markdsm-5157 The "alien stuff" was weapons grade horse crap and had no place on the "history" channel. You want to pretend that aliens built the pyramids? Take that garbage over to the Sci-fi channel where it belongs. Thank god for Kings and Generals telling REAL history
It wouldn't have mattered. People's viewing habits have irrevocably shifted by then. Remember when MTV used to play music videos all the time? After a certain point, people moved on and grew tired of it. The advertisers noticed, and the people in charge of TV programming have to adapt to the new landscape or die. So they shifted to next new hot format that the majority of the viewers have been flocking to: reality shows. So producing one quality historical documentary would have probably generated a decent blip on their ratings, but not something that would change the overall direction to where we end up with now: aliens and pawn shops.
The history channel used to do a far better job than this. Idk what happened that got too many Americans watching or something.
i never said i believed it. Just i would be thrilled if they went back to that kind of programming instead of pawnstars and swamp people fake reality tv bullshit.
"Can I charge?"
"No! It's madness!"
(He charges)
"It's working"
"Really? CHARGE".
Tip for warfare or games:
If you are doing something stupid, DO IT TOGETHER.
Most important thing is maintaining cohesion and not splitting up. Doing whatever you are doing as a single body.
By engaging in the stupid act together, you at the very least make it less likely that your force would be wiped out in detail.
Very true, in the Army we used to say "if everyone's wrong no one's wrong."
@zenigel do you think it's possible that his officers knew it would work but that Lionheart didn't want to risk the embarrasament if it failed, so they charged for him so that he couldn't really be blamed if it failed?
The third crusade is like when you finish the side quests with honors but don't finish the main quest itself
Well judging by Richard's personality, that's actually pretty accurate.
Lol
@@danielw.8356 He would probably got more sucess, but probably he will suffered from attrition and his troops must being puted under other generals commands cause its sieze, and would had required much more supplies, and also would had been less flexible, and any defeat would made the crusaders lost faith, like they proved to do in past and future ocations, also the funny thing is who he only saved his forces like Cassius Longinus at Carrhae, instad of went ala Crassus, but, the "victory" was because his subordinates disobeyed him
Lol so true still a great feeling but you just have that damn main campaign being incomplete sigh
@@danielw.8356 Barbarossa even thought outnumbered and undersupplies, manage to sack Sultanate of Rum capital city with ease

Everyone talks about the greatness of Richard but until you see it like this you don't really understand it. So many other commanders would have fallen into a trap in that situation but he kept it under control. Very impressive.
Good comment. Like other great commanders his battlefield effectiveness began long before the battle.
@RAJU PEDDADA Lots of proper commanders has the charisma enough to avoid their men to act by themselves.
I don't see what he did thats so impressive, apart from his personal valour. I mean it seems like an accident, since his men disobeyed him and charged, winning the day. Why did he wait so long taking so much fire? If all they needed to do was charge. Not enough is explained here to really say he was a great commander.
heard and read this story before but this is the best told
Oliver S. His quick response to support the charge and then rally them around to hit the centers flank is what was impressive. He made the best of a bad situation.

@@Brahmdagh Much of it was destroyed/captured at Acre
@@AdamNoizer Oh my... Get Typemoon to make a Saber Richard and a Rider Saladin. This is too delicious to pass up.
Fun fact. The reason why Richard the Lionheart was so well financed for the Crusade was because before leaving for the Holy Lands Richard had spent most of the money in the treasury, then raised taxes and sold various local offices, positions, lands and rights until he had sufficient funds to leave England in 1190. He is reported to have said, "I would have sold London if I could find a buyer."
He was a terrible king but a great commander, having him as a leading general of your army and a well calulalted king ruling would be unstoppable, if richard stayed in europe then the angevins wouldve taken all of europe

If only Richard employed the same dedication in keeping all those lands in France under his thumb.
Well, he hadn't even dedication to stay alive.^^
Vitor Hugo if richard didnt take part in the crusades all of europe wouldve been under angevin control
He did though. By the end of his reign all of his Angevin territories were secure. It was only during John’s reign that things went badly.
@@iagosevatar4865 it definetly would have saved both France and england a whole lot of agony, war and suffering if one king had been strong enough to unite the Kingdoms. If the french had the iland of Britannia as a stronghold to fall back on they would have been unstopable. The marshal prowes of France and its nobility combined with english diplomasy and the strategic location of britannia would have made it the new Rome. And europe would most likely stil be the center of power until this day.
But I dont get why the english until this day seem to had wanted that tough. The Angevins was french. And it would likely have meant that the whole realm would have became french with time . Both in culture and language. And Even tough i think London would have become the offixial capital due to the strategic location. Angers would most likely remained the political capital
It is a sinsilating tought. And perhaps europe would have been spared being under the joke of the mongrol version of europe (the united states ) and asiatic Russia and now china as well.
@@ririkoism Hmmmmmmmm, I wonder how these 300.000 were fed, equipped and organized. Or even raised.
All during the middle ages. Yes, totally believable. Just like all those hundreds of thousands of christian crusaders at Varna when the land couldn't sustain an army a fraction of that size.
Love the army composition explanation, another fantastic video! Tbh think you guys are one of most watched and loved channels, keep up the brilliant stuff!
Was hoping to hear a bit about the battle of Jaffa, look forward to the next one!
Your series on medieval battles are so well done! There are hundreds of channels that do ancient rome/napoleon/modern battles but only two or three that cover medieval warfare in such a succinct and interesting way like you guys do! Keep it up, and I hope to see more!
Brilliant stuff as always.

@@yit9893 The muslim primary sources from the battle claim they themselves lost the battle.
First it looked like Carhae, but the Crusaders managed to come back.
It wasnt a come back that was richards plan he knew saladdin wanted a pitched open battle where his numerically superior archer force would win him the day so richard did what no other general wouldve been able to he just kept marching until they reached arsuf, ofc the hospitaller charged too soon but rven that was them turned to the crusader advantage by richard
The biggest difference was the Romans lacked the heavy calvary of knights. The Roman Calvary was not as heavily armoured and got wrecked by Persian cataphracts when they attempted a charge. Also the Persians where all mounted
@@nkl7345 You also forgot how the crossbows completely decimated the lightly armored archers, meanwhile, both crossbow and spears were protected by gambeson and kite shields.
There are three different issues here and carhae. First Persian cavalry was much more heavy equipped than muslims one. Second The roman cavarly was medium and lightly equipped and third nearly all of persian forces were cavalry and mobile
parthian units at carrhae are cavarly armed with bow
CAN'T WAIT for the final part of this series! I absolutely love how you incorporate geopolitics into the military strategy side of it since that is part of the campaigning strategy itself!
Your visual details and geographic details have improved alot, compare to few years ago. It's visible that you put more time to study on these facts than before , as far as they matching the historical evidences I give you a like and well done work 👍
Love the highly detailed troop compositions on this video.
Yasss....my thought exactly
Whoouw !!!! What an episode!! So immersive !!
Good job guys ! You are the best history channel honestly !
At one point the crusaders where marching backwards firing their crossbows. On another note a veteran Hopitaliers noticed when the horse archers dismounted that was a perfect time to charge.
You know Saladin is great when he would’ve won if not for Richard. You know Richard is great when only he could defeat him.
Nah saladin got beat the sht of a 16 year old baldwin.
@@porkchop2325 baldwin is dying and weak but still saladin avoided conflict with baldwin.
Salah-ad-din is great, he won the long game and kept jerusalem. Not to take away from richard, but we have to remember how the muslims were a disunified mess and this leader pulled them together and stopped the crusader's hold on jerusalem.

Brilliant quality as usual, thanks mate.
Great content. Thanks for posting.
A note for this battle: the video did not mention it but the Crusaders weren't passively receiving arrows. They shot back with crossbows and bows. The armour of the crossbowmen were decisive. There were accounts of crossbowmen who kept walking backwards, reloading and shooting despite being like "pin cushion" with tens of arrows sticking on them. They most likely wore gamberson or padded cloth armour. Effective, but really hot under Eastern Mediterranean weather. Their shots killed Saracens, and Saracen horses.
If I recall correctly, the Hospitalier charge was in response to the Saracens charge on a group of crossbowmen and infantry that veered off course and became stragglers: remember that they had to walk backwards, reloading and shooting, under the sun while being shot at.
The battle demonstrated how to respond to horse archers: keep a line of communication to sources of water and food, adopt all round defence, and shoot back with infantry missiles.
Great point, I was a little disappointed by the omission too. The video kinda makes it seem like Richard had his men just standing there being shot at.
the mamlukes found another way, have a lot of cavalry too then feign retreat into an ambush.
They used the hills of the levant to trick the mongols into attacking a small force then flanked with melee cavalry.
Great video! Among the eight official crusades that followed the First Crusade/Prima Expeditio Sacra, the Third Crusade/Tertia Expeditio Sacra, in my personal analysis, was the military expedition that came closest to the victorious outcome of the First Crusade. My argument, on the other hand, is based on four main factors.
• 1) The conquest of Acre ( 1191). The capture of Acre by Richard's forces represented a serious setback for Saladin. After its capture, Acre became an important base of operations in Galilee, that is, a vital staging area for future campaigns against Jerusalem itself. Moreover, Acre became a strong Christian stronghold until 1291.
• 2) Just like the Muslim defeat at Montgisard before Baldwin IV's troops, Richard's victory at Arsuf also severely dented Saladin's reputation as an invencible warrior. Following Richard's victory at Arsuf, the entire coast of the Holy Land ( Outremer) was recaptured on the Beirut-Jaffa line/axis.
• 3) The Third Crusade secured Christian possession of the entire Levantine coast ( as already mentioned in the second factor).
• 4) In addition to the defeat at Acre and Arsuf, Saladin was also defeated at the crucial battle of Jaffa ( 1192), which, in turn, further strengthened Richard's position within the coastal area of the Holy Land. Altogether, Saladin faced three major defeats during the Third Crusade: Acre; Arsuf and Jaffa.
In any case, the Third Crusade failed in its primary purpose, that is, the vital and primordial reason of the military expedition convened by Pope Gregory VIII ( papal bull Audita Tremendi): the capture of Jerusalem, the spiritual objective of the Crusades.
Captivating.........
It was like watching a live match with commentary.

That's in real life, heavy armors were amazing. Don't let Hollywood fool you
The knights (though a limited part of the army) were amazing elite soldiers.
The overview of troops is an excellent feature!
I love this and pretty much all your videos so much. The only thing is I thought I was tripping when the screen changed alignment like 7 times.
I must say I'm surprised that Richard the First is not referred to as Richard the Great; For he crusaded in the Holy Land, laid permanent claim to Normandy and Aquitaine, who's coat of arms is still present upon the royalist flag (three lions), effectively commanded troops of various nationalities, pounced upon an opportunity to devastate an opponent force. I'm almost certain there is more but Richard does seem to be the equal if not more of Alfred the Great.
It's cause he was only King for 10 years, and spent less than a year of that time in England. He was also known as "The Lionheart" during his lifetime, which is honestly a cooler moniker than "the Great" anyway.
Lionheart is enough, if he captured Jerusalem, then he can be called the Great

Wrong channel
according to " the famous men of the middle ages." Richard the lionheart used a single headed axe that weighed 20 lbs. I dont know I'd this is true, but gives you an idea of how strong the guy really was.
Not true, a 20lbs heavy weapon would have been utterly useless.. The mighty Dane axe and its successors weighted about 2lbs sometimes up to 4lbs. Medieval weapon development is about getting as much weapon as possible for as little weight as possible.
@@aaronb2334 A bardishe has a very thin profile, its not heavy... A pike is not meant as an agile weapon, same with a lance... Flamberge, you mean a bidenhaender, they are much much lighter than you would imagine. The same with falchions - they look heavy but they are almost paper thin. You get some bearingswords that weigh 10kg and upwards but they are purely things for civic processions and ceremonies...
Flails, as far as professional flails were a novelty gimmic - the ones who actually gained a little popularity were ones with relatively small heads... Peasants were at times using converted agricultural flails, but that were out of need and not by choice - in locations were arms were prohibited for the peasantry.
@@aaronb2334 You have never held or seen an original have you? I can assure you that they are way lighter than what you imagine. Speed defeats weight when it comes to doing damage.
Anyways, you don't use bladed weapons to defeat armour, you will break your expensive weapon without doing the slightest of damage... You use the spike on a pole ax or warhammer / etc. Armoured combat was anyway more like a wrestling match with spikes, where your kill move would be to immobilize your opponent - so you could insert something pointy in the gaps.
@@aaronb2334 No you don't
Aaron B A 20 pound flail? Is that something people were documented to use?
I hope my fellow crusaders will help me find the music from 14:27
I only recently found this channel and have been throughly enjoying learning about our history. One thing that would be nice is when you show maps, can you prvoide a scale to give an idea of distances. It is hard to know how far towns and armies are apart from each other.
Good point, thanks for the feedback!
Two military geniuses fighting each other. Makes it even better to know that they were friendly to each other and wished to be allies rather than enemies.
