At twenty-four, Otto the Great was serious-minded, reserved and deliberative. He’d commanded armies on the eastern frontier. He rigorously practiced his Christian faith, attending mass daily and praying the Divine Office. He married an English princess, Edith, granddaughter of Alfred the Great. During the coronation mass, Otto’s sword, crown and scepter were laid before the altar. The Archbishop of Cologne, Wikfried, poured holy oil on his head before Otto took up the symbols of his rule. But Otto's greatest challenge would come in 955 at the Battle of Lechfeld, the ultimate showdown between the East Francian Franks and the Magyars.

My post has little to do with babbel but one of my older brothers loves learning new languages, so I bought him an edition of the Song of Roland that was written in medieval French. He was ecstatic! 😊
Well that's great! I will say, trying out Babbel this last month, it is an awesome program. I'm going to keep using it to try and pick up my German again.
@@RealCrusadesHistory That's awesome! May you succeed in your endeavor!
@@RealCrusadesHistory Coffee and the Crusades I insist. Just one a month. How can you deny us the great knowledge that is passed around during those chats. Helena rocks
35:05 - That's some smooth transition right there 😆
Guess ill sleep in 3 hrs or so😊
How‽
@@BlakePeters-zi6bq how sleep? Comes naturally
Right?
Or until a ridiculous commercial runs for 8 minutes
Lol
El Cid is one of my all time favorite historical figures.
You mean because of the killing of Christians?
This is going to be amazing.
This guy is greatly undervalued in CZcams.
You can see the quality of these videos are on par with the best of the best.
Keep doing them sir. One of the few nowadays giving the history of the crusades justice
Me as soon as I hear Baldwin IV getting brought up:
*"ASSEMBLE THE ARMY!"*
Loss of armies in two battles
GOD WILLS IT!!!
I think this channel should have a lot more subscribers then it does these documentaries are beautifully made not rushed and accurate!!! Couldn’t ask for more thank you!
Glad you like them!
Best history channel in history
This deserves so many more views and likes 🙏🏽👏🏽
If you watched this video or others before, you would have noticed that it takes the author several months of researches and preparations .. To come out with such accurate great content and outstanding visuals .. Regardless, I have no idea why this channel is so underrated, compared to other mainstream documentary channels. Keep the hard work, Brother !! .. Guys, give a "Like", his documentaries deserve more audience!
Greetings from Bavaria
Wow, wow, almost 3.5 hours. This is something incredible, and as always, very exciting. Keep on making such interesting stories!
Wow amazing work brother again ! Well not sleeping for the next 3.5 hours looking so forward to this much thanks 🙏🇨🇦
The order of St Lazourus - Iv never heard of this, very interesting. 👍
Another great video everytime one of these long videos comes out makes my whole freaking day
Glad to hear it!
so glad this channel is switching it up a bit with narrators, different voices help me binge listen easier
awesome video thanks so much
As a German, I can confirm that you sound like a native 😂
Finally. Much obliged to your good Sir! I've been wanting for someone to make a proper dive into Christian medieval military accomplishments who are seriously under-recognized for the feats achieved given the conditions they were endeavoured under. The Crusades alone were magnanimously difficult logistically and financially but still upheld several great kingdoms for two centuries. And El Cid, Richard Lionheart, Baldouin IV, Edward Longshanks, Godfrey of Builllon, Bohemond de Hauteville, all the Hautevilles. All legends in their own rights and some even deserving of a place among greatest military leaders.
Thank you! For the Lionheart, check out this doc: czcams.com/video/KYuBJUXiMNg/video.html
@@RealCrusadesHistory I certainly will. Lionheart's a personal favourite.
Whenever talking about Christian warrior traditions, most people demonize them or dismiss them. Your channel shows that there were many genuine heroes and Legends among them.
Jesus: You mean those who kill Christians? Do you expect them to enter Heaven or Hell?
The only 3+ hour long videos I've watched on youtube, awesome vid!
Glad you enjoyed!
Great compilation J Stephen, thanks for the work. Any update on the new novel?
Thanks Lambert! Yep, about to send it to Helena for one last read over! Then I'll apply her changes as needed and publish it! I'm hoping this summer it is out on Amazon.
@@RealCrusadesHistory great news! Let us know when we can pre order. Congrats.
Super big fan of yours! I have been waiting for a new doc and you didn’t disappoint!
Thanks so much!
Very cool I can't wait to watch this one thank you
Me: I'll see you in 3.5 hours life. I'm busy.
Life: But.....
Epic. Thanks for sending with KF3 - one of the most awesome saints, with some saintly contemporary rulers (St Louis IX and St Wenceslas) in his days, he still shines as an image of Virtue and a great example to all men of good will
He was gone for a week and came back with 3+ hours bang, I am set for 3 days at least now. Really hoping to see no Byzantine here 😊
Joking about last part
Ha! Thanks buddy.
Your comments last part caught me off guard 😂😂
This entire video was epic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 a really great job from the narration to the graphics.
I’ve been waiting for this video ❤ always love to watch your documentaries and tales. Thank you !
This is a good video when you need inspiration naming your sons
Thanks to this creative Documentary sir
Outstanding documentation. Thank you.
Anyone else playing Age of Empires 2 while watching?
Exciting 😀
Congratulations on being on the history channel 🎉
Thank you! You guys made it happen by following this channel.
Always been fascinated by figures like Otto the Great, but curious to see who else they consider "greatest."
Well Documented And Narrated
Good men, great deeds. Thank you for your work, good sir.
You give knowledge of the past, and life in those long since gone.
I,m suprised that you put on a new video so soon i miss your live streams What will your next video be about?
The west has had so many great Christian warriors who defended their land and christianity. Look at what christianity has become. Loved the documentary. When I get time I am going to binge watch all your post. Thank you.
Thanks for the mega documentary
Love these long videos for work. Last me an 8hour shift with pauses and rewinds for juicy details. Thanks bro
Glad you like them!
People might get the impression that Adelaide of Italy was some kind of alien ethnic figure to the Franks and East Franks. In spite of her name, she was, of course, a Welf from Bavaria (and a Swabian from her mother), so as East Frankish as they come. Her name, too, in its original form, was Adelheid.
Learning about Bohemond,Baldwin,etc and the tales of remarkable devotion,boldness & bravery has made me a better man in these modern times. Thanks so much for sharing this content @ Real Crusades History.
About to be a good 3hrs
This is awesome
@RealCrusadesHistory , where do you get your music (especially the channel theme)? Can it be found on CZcams?
It's original!
@@RealCrusadesHistory Nice! I can’t help but hum it every time I hear it on the videos.
You should publish the songs on CZcams for people to listen to. It’s really good!
Interesting that the Holy Lance made its appearance at the Battle of Lechfield in 955. I had long believed it was discovered in Antioch in 1098.
There were multiple candidates.
Good moring a todos
*It reminds me the so called **_"Nine Worthies"_** which include three pagans (Hector, Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar), three Jews (Joshua, David and Judas Maccabeus) and three Christians (King Arthur, Charlemagne and Godfrey of Bouillon)🧐*
What game were you using to show the battles I love how detailed you went into this and amounts of research you did absolutely amazing
Just a humble question, Is Joan of Arc too far forward in time for this? I would expect her to be listed in this. Great video regardless, good work
Nice
One question two of your videos that i always wanted to watch are nowhere to be found one is about how dracula got his name and the other is about pre islamic spain's visigothic intellectual brilliance
can you please link them to me i really want to watch
Those are old ones. I did get rid of some of the older ones because I didn't like some stuff in them. I'll look for them and add them on Patreon and to the members section here! Thanks!
@@RealCrusadesHistory Please link those two specific videos to me because i really wanted to watch them
hi would you do video on 5 crusades called by pope on Hussites in Hussite wars? all 5 failed. Hussites were mostly armed peasants and beat 5 organized crusades called by pope with mounted knights etc. Hussites called themself wariors of god. one crusade even ran of before fighting after hussites started singing their battle hymn "who are wariors of god" based on legend but probably there was some fight atleast small one but in one crusade they basicaly ran right away back to pope.
All failed? 😂 you realize hussite wars were won by catholics in end right? Battle of Brüx, Sellnitz and battle of lipany being last. Catholics side won the war, wym it failedd? The radical Hussites were defeated, and their rites forbidden
@@bruhmcchaddeus413History: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Source: I was with the dead crucifixion
@@user-fl5mq9kp7g Source : Literal history lol wym? Battle of lippany was literally last battle in hussites warr
@@bruhmcchaddeus413 Okay, I'll look for this fight
@@user-fl5mq9kp7g look up “battle of lipany 1434” this was last battle in hussites war and radical hussites were defeated and their rites were made forbidden
My kids are right- the first half of this is a scary horror story
but that's what I got with that King Richard! lion heart! I'm writing a novel about him, and I'm studying documents, sometimes I think I'm smarter than John Gillingham himself, the greatest expert on this, and when I read yesterday project gotemberg saint hugo of lincoln, book, and those sentences that king richard threatened stefan de turnham that he can execute him if he does not confiscate the property of St. to hugo. so I had enough. or how Hugo Lincoln admonished him for being unfaithful to his wife Berengaria, or blamed Walter Hubert, who made mistakes, okay, at least when he suppressed Fitzobert's rebellion, he should have supervised the tax collectors in London, and he would have prevented it. and he cursed the saint too, and King Richard confiscated his property. but when the bishop visited him instead, Richard yielded to him. and unfaithful to his wife? hugo of lincoln gave gossip just as richard gave gossip to his office walter hubert. it just pissed me off that king richard was chasing hugo lincon. when I read one source about nom richard, then the second contradicts me. it's really a terrible job to find material for a novel
Sigurd the Crusader (1089-1130) of Norway. The first crusader king. Please make a video about him.
Sorry, I didn’t realise that you already had. Great!
Hold on. Am I to understand from your documentation of El Cid's life that he never actually did loose a single battle? Then his lacking acclaim makes even less sense. Everyone going on about "oh Alexander the Great this, Napoleon that", and as a more contemporary comparison lauds Khalid-Ibn-al-Walid as "never having lost a battle" (which he actually did, he lost several) yet El Cid, the real deal is left out? An outrage to say the least.
There's no doubt, El Cid never lost a battle in his life. His career, as a contemporary Muslim writer of that time said, made him "a wonder of God."
Made a whatf if everything went perfect to italy
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Amen❤✝️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✝️❤❤
The warrior Christophe Hahn saved Otto I life in the battle of Lechfeld in 955.
Otto the great dubbed Christophe Hahn a Knight.
El cid? Sid? Al ced? Wich is it?
Kaiser Otto der Große
Arnulf the Bad? Had I been around then I would certainly have followed not my namesake Conrad, but him 😆😆😆
Ha! One wonders if that nick name was popular during his life, or if it was more imposed by the victorious faction that overcame him. Either way it was a good one!
@RealCrusadesHistory I think Germanic folk tended to give candid names to their rulers. My favourites are the two Frankish Kings, respectively Charles the Simple and Charles the Fat.
Just came across your channel and it seems a quality product.
I'm disappointed by fact you covered II.Vlad but not Gjergj Kastrioti even though he is the man declared as Champion of Christ by several Popes who decimated Ottoman main armies several times. II. Vlad actually never came to close his battle proves.
Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool. ( Mark Twain)
Otto the Great is not a legend
Christ is King
What's up with the short weird music in between each chapter?
Nice
