🚩The Battle of the Field of Blood and the broader struggle for Aleppo was an intensely complex affair, drawing in many factions-Frankish, Turkish, Armenian, Arab, and Byzantine. Like so many of the Crusader States’ wars, it was rarely a simple matter of Christians versus Muslims.

🚩I apologise for the delay. My father is seriously ill and, without going into too much detail, we have surgery scheduled for June 22nd. Needless to say this has caused a lot of stress and worry, and it's quite difficult for me to focus. I will try to complete the Battle of Badr as soon as possible and also work on Hannibal episodes. See you all soon!

You didn't complete emperor aurelian series. You only completed upto battle of emesa.
My best wishes for you and your father. Nothing to worry about "delays", please. My best regards
The fact Rainalds entire retinue used him being injured as an excuse not to return to the battle is hilarious.
The MF could really be hurted, but use two entire squadrons to retreat is moronic AF
This shows that its not true just to male him a hero its a lie ..the fact is he ran away ...in dust ...
@@joaop4585 they were probably not two entire squadron its obviously an excuse. They were very little in number and tired so charging at numerically superior heavy soldiers while outnumbered and exhausted is committing suicide he did the right move by retreating
They may have changed the tide of the battle charging back behind the enemy lines
I think that the display of an military element with blocks is not to be confused as a total, fresh contingent fully equipped and replenished, probably a portion of the contingent survived, needed to rest and of course only fight when their officer fights taking only orders from him. If he is down then you don't fight
Bruh, HistoryMarche not having 1million+ subscribers is daylight robbery, people need to appreciate this channel that is filled with masterpieces!
Thank you sir. That's most kind of you.
Give it time. I only found out about them when looking up Bannockburn - there's too many battles for one channel like K&G to cover all on its own. Speaking of, I remember finding Kings and Generals back when they were at about 200k as well, and look where they are now.
@@perrytran9504 I found this channel because of the battle of Yarmouk but I became loyal to this channel for Hannibal
@@perrytran9504 Same here! This channel has such excellent content and historical accuracy.
They have over one million now, 2 years later
From what I can tell from watching this, if Rainald Mazoir's knights, rather than bring their lord to a nearby tower to recover from his wounds, had charged the back of the Seljuk army, they might very well have turned the battle to the Crusader's side. Amazing what little things completely change the course of battles.
Yeah, Muslims took of thier leader reinald mazior by an arrow at the last moment.
Seriously, why did those dumbasses even do that lol, did he really need an entire army to escort him ?
If only they had sent just some body guards with him and left the rest so that they keep fighting, things could have been totally different.
What a incomprehensible and disastrous choice.
He was most likely very confident because of the earlier minor win and the service held the day before. But who knew that heavy cavalry would be beaten by light cavalry.....
Sort of like tigers vs t-34s from ww2
@@xenotypos Its probaly made up as some excuse.
@@lostmusic99 the thing is the sheer number of t34s would completely outweigh any advantage your perceived might of the tiger may have had. I say perceived because the fact you said that means you know nothing about tank penetration, t34 shells were WELL capable of penetrating any German tank, despite popular belief and the sheer numbers would have only ensured that. usually tanks get hit once before they are KO. and comparing tanks to men on horses has to be the worst analogy.
Their secret weapon was sending a Karen in the tent
HAHAHAHA oh that made me laugh out loud!
Hahaha lol!

no way the arrows will stay on the ground after centuries from the battle...!
the Turks themselves have cleared the ground from the bodies and blood DIRECTLY after finishing the fight.

12:14 - Ilghazi: send my mother-in-law into the franks' camp.
I shouldn't laugh, but that was damn funny!
@@HistoryMarche Thank you.
Hahaha lol!
hahaha 😅
Not true.ilghazi's mother-in-law didn't knew frankish language. The women in the tent was frankish.
IlGhazi was truly impressive, surprised me that he took months just to find an entrance through such terrain.
Better terrain knowledge is a decisive factor on itself. Every great warrior/commander knows it.
Nice throw, Rainald.
Did the whole retinue have to retire from the battlefield while having a considerable tactical advantage, when 3 or 5 men could have taken care of him?
Indeed! Reckon the turks would have broke if they saw the enemy coming from behind hey!
I just tought the same. I wonder about the fate of those Franks.
@@albertovelaluis8512 Rainald and his retinue retreated to Sarmada which they eventually surrendered to Ilghazi when he promised them safety with his ring.
@@dingliedangliedoodle9261 Did he kept his promise?
@@albertovelaluis8512 I found no mention of him not keeping the promise, so I guess so. Not everyone is ruthless like the Mongols.
A good day when HistoryMarche, Historiograph, and Armchair uploads.
Way ahead of you pal! I already saw Historigraph's Jitra video and I'm watching ACH's Kursk right now.

Absolutely. I like HistoryMarche a lot more than any other channels. They're stick to the facts unlike other channels.
lol. I heard the Wilhelm scream.

Ancient general: Use strategy and tactic to win the battle
Medieval general: go charge boi...
hehe mouted knights go brrr
it's mostly the frankish knights
I suppose the reason the famous battles from the high and late middle ages are famous is because they managed to find ways to win against a charge by knights, an extremely difficult thing to do. That said, because those are the stories that we know best, you always kinda just roll your eyes when a side relies entirely on those charges.
I have seen several failed crusades against the Ottomans because of Frankish foolishness. Franks got beat up by Henry V also because of this blind belief. Tactics and strategies are more superior.
@@babulburel547 Did you miss the fact that here the muslim army was twice as numerous ? What were the Franks supposed to do ?
It's a fucking miracle it was so close to begin with, and it shows that indeed knights (which were a little part of the army, 700) were bloody effective.
And in general, it's wrong to say that there weren't great tacticians in the medieval period. Knights were in general 1/10th (or less) of a medieval army in Europe. It was a tactical element in itself, not the whole stuff.
12:15 its 1:32am here and that laughter is creeping me out lmao
This should be interesting!
Thank you good sir!
yes
Very interesting
or not...
Yeah
Ugh Rainold.... you scoundrel! That attack to the rear would've broken the Turkic center, but instead your men took you to the nearest Sheraton hotel... Great battles always come down to a single moment, a single choice.
What a fucking throw that was, the rear attack even with half of the units could have won the fight!
seems easy for us snowflakes thinking this is some sort of total war game
extremely difficult what rainold did
and why unhappy that the other side one?
watch with objectivity not biased to ur religion
@@saadshoaib901 What on earth are you on about? He did not even mention religion. I felt the same way. That unit left the battlefield and because of it, the battle was lost and the remaining troops got slaughtered. Such a shame.
@@andreas956 called the other individual a scoundrel?
what intention would that be
@@saadshoaib901 dude, your ability to understand English is not good enough to have this conversation. you're completely misinterpreting what people are saying

Dayuuum, welcome back and thanks for kicking it on such a subject :D
It's always an immense pleasure seeing you have uploaded a new video! I hope it all goes ok for your father, much love and support!
And thank you for bringing joy and knowledge to our days
Welcome back! And thank you for the good wishes! It has derailed work a lot, but I will try to get videos your way as often as possible over the coming month or two.
Nice video, thanks for all you do to get these uploaded.
Great video once again!
Your maps and animation are extremely impressive!
My weekend is complete. Coffee and favorite history marche channel.
Marche, you sir make me love history even more with your narration. I love it. Keep up the good work.
I am a simple guy, I see a new video from History Marche I click like.
Me tou bro me tou ✌🏻
Thank you History Marche for another great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Im speechless at both the quality of these videos and the subject, i mean i never even heard of this battle but you made it more interesting than if a movie was made about it
Awesome as always, thank you, I needed something good to watch
Another great video. I love this channel!
Your style of narration, the music & sound effects, the animation and just the depth with which you have done your research is absolutely marvellous. You really are passionate about this and it shows. Really appreciate your work & efforts as a history buff myself.
Great video, thank you for it
Great work. Always like the detail on the maps.

Such an interesting battle. I've never heard it before. Thanks a lot, HistoryMarche
I love your videos! I just really hope that someday you can upload more frequently.
Pls do more videos about underrated battles and crusade battles
I used to read the Osprey books of all these battles and now it's great to be able to just click and watch the whole thing with animated maps: thanks very much to the creators!
Too nice video from excellent historical channel with clear explaining of historical events thanks for sending
Another good video , thank you
Great video as always! As you promised before to cover more battles of Khalid Ibn Alwalid, I’m eagerly waiting...
فديو رائع كالعادة
شكرا لك 🌹🥀
I discovered your channel lately and it's really amazing
Your analysis is very beautiful. Thanks.
Just think. 700 knights, trained their entire lives, on the other side of Europe. Every moment of their life up to that point led to this moment, and they just get ground down in a rather irrelevant battle in the grand scheme of things. Just weird to think.... what were some of their names? Life stories? Was there a funny drunk among them? What about in the moment, any rallies that stabilized the situation for an hour or two...? Who knows, totally lost to time, only survived a single generation in the memories of the men present. Most who probably died within a decade..... Just so interesting. It's a mind warp.
@wassim games Oh man, you gonna throw even more mind fuck on top! For sure, two sides, really probably 3 or 4 to every story. Very true. I always think about the Native Americans who lived in my area a couple hundred years ago. They weren't even really native to the area but pushed here from U.S. government within living memory. And to think of how much they'd already lost. Seminoles fought for years and I often think "did a family have a little hut somewhere around here, maybe fished that stream, shit in those woods over there, grew food there," etc.

History Marche The Best of The Best!!! Excellent work!!!
I don’t think there’s a better commentator then this guy. Brings the battle to life
Seems like the Holy Land is always drenched in blood regardless of the time in history.
the blood purifies the land, making it Holy
There were many peaceful times too, mostly when ran by an Empire. Ottoman, Persian, Caliphates, Mamluks held Palestine and it was rather peacefull and somewhat boring. The only problem is what happens when those empires fall.
Like most lands. The fallen state of man.
@@BLRSharpLight Well when everyone is already invaded there are less risks of war in the area. It doesn't make it a good thing. In central Europe not only did political fragmentation favored wars, but the Ottoman empire itself participated in some of them.
@@BLRSharpLight The middle east is mainly destabilized because they have been liberated from the Ottoman. Once again, imposed peace by force isn't really better. It's just Roman peace. As for the Ottoman in Europe, it depends what you call "central Europe". Hungary and the surrundering territories sure had their fair share of agressions.
Aaah l missed you
Love this channel
Thank you so much 😀
This must be the best commentary voice on the internet. Love your content as always HM
These last breath exhale effects after the death of bohemond and tancred and the little details like this ones determines the quality of your videos. This is why this channel such succeed. HistoryMarche rules!!

Great stuff!
... and they were soundly beat'n off!
You've got to love this this dialogue and the narrator too!!!
Fun fact: Glorious commander of this holy battle, Il-Ghazi was an alcoholic and that's one of the reasons he was unpopular in Aleppo.
"Our lord fell off his horse. Time for all of us to take him to the tower." Crusaders totally could have won with the hammer and anvil.
Our brave Muslim army always win against your weak crusader.
@@MiddleEast-4Ever not the first time around though. The first crusade was insane
@@angelopueyygarcia43 Kurdish Salahedin al ayoubi humiliated the first crusaders too!
@@MiddleEast-4Ever I mean yeah but the Muslim infighting basically doomed their defence. Especially at Antioch
I know. If only he would've battle through the pain and get that hammer and anvil movement going
Awesome video! Just out of curisity, will you (in the near or distant future) make any videos on the Roman-Dacian wars?
Great effort 👏🏼

Guys they have to make a game with this animations!!
Same thought occurred to me :D
good job as usual
You are a legend ..❤️
Never missed your vedios ..
ilghazi (AL-Ghazi) translate to ( the invader) which was popular name in the middle east
No means wealthy, great, rich, cultured, generous, conqueror, prosperous.
As an Arab Muslim from the middle east, I have always read and heard about lots of muslims battles during school study, but I have never heard it in details like the “tactics” in this channel videos show, bro I can’t believe we as muslims in the past were so damn tactical & smart !!! Im so proud with that because I know for a fact muslims didn’t have strong munitions as the same Christians did have.
Although “Christianity and Islam are all alike” one god but lots of misinterpretation lol

@@abdulrahmannawaf9120 old days were good man, sensible leader and their great achievements but then Allah knows what happened in midway we fall into fanatics. And so called supreme leaders/imams
For what it's worth I feel there's a decent stretch of time, especially with the rise of the Ottomans where Muslims enjoy a qualitative advantage of both strategy and equipment. The Janissaries around the time of Mehmed II are probably what we can consider the first modern army with gunpowder.
Europeans tended to be more heavily armoured in general but there was more to battle than that, as can be seen with the Rashidun smacking the Byzantines in the mouth until they were no longer the power they once were. Or the advent of gunpowder making armour more irrelevant.
Omg I love this channel
Excellent productions you make.
I do say...
Thank you sir. Much appreciated.
Very informative narrative as always. I hope you make a video about the 6th Crusade of Frederick II. It's a very unique Crusade among all Crusades.

Hope you didn't forget your promise about battle of Mohacs 1526 :3
omg I love the topic!
Thank you sir for doing what you do!!!!

What an amazing video of this battle! I really didn't know which way it was going to go until very close to the end especially when those knights broke through the Selçuk lines.
Both sides fought hard and brave. Is it known what the casualty rates were?
4000 seljuks died, 9000 crusaders died
@@snp4619
Bullshit, the Muslim army losses were little, the crusader army was Annihilated with only two men escaping, over 500 prisoners.
The minute the battle went in the muslims favor was when the dust storm started... the muslim army is well used to dust storms and fought like nothing was happening while the crusaders werent used to such storms at all... another major factor to the muslim's victory was the strange decision by reynold to withdraw with his forces rather than contributing on forming a pincer. Anyhow this battle is nothing compared to the future ones between muslim and christian armies... its funny because that area (middle east) never saw 10 years of peace in its history and till this day... a holy but cursed paradox
Yet again HistoryMarche delivers! More interesting and entertaining than watching movies.
