Merry Christmas brother in christ !❤
You're amazing man! Love your content 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Thank you bro. Have you ever considered doing a series on Sultan Baybars? Or maybe even just one video about Sultan Khalil ibn Qalawun's infamous siege of Acre?
Merry Christmas!

I want the true epic battle of Montgisard!!!!!
This is how history classes should be taught, instead of forced memorizing historical dates. Whoever thought and made this format, did an amazing job.
Excellent format... I'm an antique dealer 30years... Excellent format
Totally agree teachers should use this stuff it's priceless
I agree with these other comments. Was thinking the same thing. Great job. Thank you.
Agree completely ...
I agree , dates can always be looked up when in writing a paper or during a panel of debate or topic of intrest tha may include dates for a specific time of important event and supports the argument ,( case ) .
I'm really glad you make these long-form versions, without the ads. They are your eternal masterpieces.
YEAH!!!!! Agree.
Had me engrossed for an hour and a half, absolutely amazing work that you won't see on regular TV. thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I agree 👍
@@HistoryMarche Amazing work
One of the best "movie" I watched.
Richard deserves consideration as one of the great commanders of his age, especially from a logistical perspective.
Isn't he already?
He is already acknowledged a great tactical commander,but his lack of a motivational motive was the main problem, crushing strong sentiments of his men,who only came for the holy land not side quests rumorued to be attacking Egypt or northern regions
Of course he should but at the same time that’s not saying much. The Dark Ages in Europe was a period characterized by profound ignorance. That includes military strategy/tactics. There were a lot of brave men and there were a lot of stupid men.
@@S0ulinth3machin3 ''Dark Age'' didn't exist
@@doedelzak3914 whatever man. Europe went backwards after the fall of the Roman Empire, burned books, there was only one book that mattered: the Bible. No scientific or technological advancements for 1000 years until the Rennaisance. You can see the utter lack of sophistication reflected in their military tactics when they fight outsiders. The knights were awesome fighters individually because they trained that way, for tournaments and whatnot. They had zero ability to fight together, as a unit. Battle of Legnica, Battle of Mohi River, Battle of Nicopolis. They were clueless as to how to achieve success as a cohesive army. Or how about the First Crusade (the People's Crusade)? Nearly 100% eliminated by the Seljuk Turks.
Imagine a king that swings a battle ax while leading his troops. Richard truly was a great commander and warrior
Yes, most guys today would struggle to swing a fairy wand
@@mikeoz4803and you wouldn’t?
@@that1ginger22 Wouldn't what?
He was a great warrior but arrogant.
It cost him his liberty and bankrupted England all because he was ungracious to those who helped him win his battles.
On his return he was kidnapped and held for ransom.
Sounds a bit like today.
@@jfryer485 there’s always some pisswilly who wants to downgrade a great man, all the while living a life of insignificance
Ya I agree, no other leader came to help Saladin but he did receive reinforcements.
Like the time his army retreated and he raced ahead the get food and supplies ready for them, shows the type of guy he was.
Richard had funds granted. But to travel so far in the time that it was and to put up a solid fight was impressive.
Both had respect for each other.
So sad that the holy land is still being fought over.
Pfft, holy land...no land or people are holy. It's been proven in the past, present and it will be in the future. The only thing they all have in common it's murderous intents, and made up god to excuse them.
It will be until people get that it's omportened for multible religions
Guys, I want to see the scale measure on the maps, when they zoom in or zoom out. It would be great to see the size and distances.
If you agree with this, please thumbs up. Perhaps History Marche group will notice!

When Christians were Christians. Strong and fought for their belief in God and The Holy Land. As a Muslim I respect that. These were formidable opponents.
And if we should ever again find ourselves on the field of battle. I pray it will be shoulder to shoulder with pride, honor and respect.
X]]]P
Religion is dividing people religion have been made to control societies. If you believe do it for yourself but don’t follow the politics now. Love and respect to all living beings

@@andrewmedlin434against WHO??
Dunno if you'll see this comment, but I really love your 1+ hour videos of entire campaigns, and seeing the outcomes of entire factions, instead of the ones in a single battle. I really hope that, despite how much time and energy it takes to make long videos like these, you will continue to put together long videos like these, whether making series of your existing videos, or brand new ones. Thank you for making this video... I really enjoyed it.

I say Sancho Martin was the key figure in the siege of tyre but thx for your comment
I seriously couldn't stop watching this. So engaging! The visual and oral teaching with the consistent reminder of dates was really absorbing. I fully comprehend the events of the 3rd Crusade.
Thanks for your hard work HM! love this third Crusade series!
Thanks man, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Incredibly engaging.
Great men once walked the earth..
Worth seeing again and again.
I love the crusades, history is just so interesting
Crusades are a bloody affair. One should not admire them too much 🤔
What do you love about It?
@@greg9088it's interesting. What do u like about it
What a formidable leader!Indomitable, courageous, passionate, yet planner, realistic and rational. Able to talk to the elite as well as to the soldiers. The lion heart representes the archetype of the medieval King
History Marche channel is always introducing informative and incredible historical coverage episodes
Amazing. This channel is doing some amazing work. That was as good as watching a movie and I'm super glad to finally understand the greatness of Richard lionheart on field.
Glad you enjoyed it!
It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage episode about 3rd Crusaders. Shared by an amazing ( History Marche) channel....thank you for sharing
First time I’ve come across this channel.
Left a comment & 👍 as a sacrifice to the algorithm. I 0:10 listened to the whole episode in 1 go while cooking & tinkering, the time flew by because Inwas immersed in the narrative.
My humble offering to the algorithm Well done!
Awesome content love all your videos....hope to see more of these videos!
Thank you for bringing and dishing history at its best...
Looking for ways to support this venture.
Majorly this characterized determination, resilience, faith and honour among oppositions
I love to watch your content it's by far the best on CZcams thanks for the hard work you do for us all to enjoy much appreciated 👍❤
Any place of learning teaching the history of crusades should make watching your videos a requirement. Excellent job guys. Really. Top to bottom A-Z you guys knocked it out of the park with your seires.
Yet another great Saturday video from history marche while i enjoy my coffee cheers
Your Work is just next-level. Skillfully done!! Thank You!!!!!
The narration here is one of the best in CZcams: clear intonation and articulation and with passion.
As always, an excellent long-form video. Just as with each of the parts, the content is superb, striking a perfect balance between entertainment and straightforward information. Thank you for all of your hard work! Armchair historians like myself much appreciate the ability to get solid refreshers on topics we've not studied for a time, or to get primed for our own deep dives into the annals of military history.
LOVE your compilations man!❤❤❤ (Daniel here! Accouny once more with problems!)
Hey hey! Thanks so much man
@@HistoryMarche Always! Seriously man. Don't know whats going on!
Thank you for the video! Amazing story telling! Subscribed and going to see more of your content!
Historymash has again presented another epic long documentary in their usual excellent and intelligent fashion. I so much enjoy that I couldn't tell when the 1 hour+ video ended. Thank you historymash
LOVE these videos!!!! BEST on CZcams, BY A LOT!!!
Love your content, the effort put into these is amazing. Keep it up ❤
Thank you so much. Very kind of you to support my work.
This was really a fantastic video, with much history I didn't know about.
The details are really amazing good.
That was awesome, thank you very much!
Love the video, regret looking in the comments section lol
Great program. Thank you. 👏👏👏
so glad i ran into this finally an hour and half of something useful on youtube to watch thank you i enjoyed this
Incredible documentary!
LOVED the documentary man! You're as amazing as ever! And please continúe your reconquista videos with the likes of James I the Conqueror and Ferndinand III the Saint!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks man, truly appreciate it.
@@HistoryMarche np!
Very informative. I am glad to have these videos.
That was really good the way you made the video showing the details of the battles
HistoryMarche, there are more two parts battles to combine on video to make such as:
Battle of the three kings, 1578 AD
First Battle of Tarain, 1191 AD ⚔ The First Islamic Conquest of India and Second Battle of Tarain, 1192 AD ⚔ Muhammad of Ghor Returns.
Battle of Targoviste, 1462 AD
Battle of Cynoscephalae, 197 BC
Alfred The Great Battle of Ashdown and Edington.
I hope you can voice and narrate the battle of Targoviste that would be awesome to see your next video. And I hope you narrate the first part of How did Rome Conquer Italy? the Battle of Cynoschephalae, 197 BC by Knowledgia when you combine the second part of the video.
Hey my brother I must say I truly enjoy your history research narrative and expository telling. The fact that you pronounce place names correctly as they were called in that time period shows the depth and accuracy of research you bring to your program and each individual episode. I especially appreciate your understanding of the relationship between Richard and Saladin. Given my understanding of human nature I would venture to say they both the respected and appreciated each other more than they did their backstabbing half-stepping countrymen and so-called allies. Yeah both of them were betrayed by their so-called allies, Richard by French allis and Saladin by his Emirs . I do believe both of those leaders were men of God following their God the god of their understanding to the best of their ability with honor and chivalry. I salute your effort as a historian and truly appreciate what I see plainly and clearly as your labor of love. Bon vie Mon ami 😊
By the "Capetian King", the Plantagenêt were technically French too (or Frankish to be exact), the concept of nationality did not exist back then. A huge part of Richard's army was from Duchies and Counties in France too.
And Phillip II left 10 000 men under the orders of Guy III of Burgundy.
King Richard !!! Such a badass
I visited the castle at Acre two years ago, I was walking around there thinking at the enormity of the task of taking a fortied city like that… the walls are like 20 metres high surrounded by a trench and another wall, its insane to think men on wooden ladders had to scale that while being attacked from above… those men were tough.
Wish I could share the photos I took here 😢
Indeed , they had the heart of a lion
That was absolutely fascinating 👍👍 , thank you 🌞🌞🙏🙏
What a TIME to LIVE!!!👊👍✌EVERLASTING GLORY to ALL CRUSADERS all over the Europe!💪
Allah akbar!
That was great, thanks :-)
Pour l'algorithme. Thank you for all your work, your videos deserve way more views.
THIS IS AWESOME!!!
i just found my favorite show.
MORE PLEASE!!
That quote on the video was well put - When men became beasts, this was a well done series
"The Lion Awakens!" should be the Dark Angels' new warcry.
this comment deserves more love haha
I gave it some love ;)
Comendations for all the work put into these episodes; they make learning history and the characters that push history come alive.
Thank you 💛 so very much for this excellent history lesson. I wish my teachers in school could have done half the job as well as you have laid it all out. Thank you 💛 again. I enjoyed watching this fine work Sir.
This is just too well detailed
Merci pour ces documentaires...trop cool.....je kiffe..et quel courage avait ces types a l'époque par rapport aux lavettes que l'on est devenu 😢
The world still has heroes and not wimps unfortunately none of them are are our leaders anymore. Je vise et la proliteriat et no le bourgeoisie pour types l'epoque. I do apologize for my errors as I learn the French language and attempt to utilize it. I do like your perspective and appreciate your comments😊
Le courage ne se trouve pas dans le meurtre.

Courage is to fight for what’s right and the Will to finish evil
Without fighting nothing survives
How did you exist if your ancestors didn’t fight to survive
Very informative, thank you.
Incredible work and research went into this production, well done and thank you. If this crusade is not taught at military academy's and command schools it should be.
What an incredible video to remember old times! I miss my brothers from the crusades
Thanks for this long chapter; dividing those chapters on battles doesn't allow us to understand the complex situation of the conflict and the politics.
Nice one -- love the (longer) ones, where you can really sit back and listen...
Thank you for all parts combined. Much appreciated.
That was awesome
great work guys, as a history junky - hats off, as a graphic designer - the most beautiful info graphic ever, as a non native English speaker - you have the best narrator ever - cheers :)
Excellent work!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this history lesson!!
قناة رائعة...👏👏👏👏
Great Documentary. Bloody french not helping out again
Thank you for this. I freakin love this point in history.
Thank you so much for your work!
A really exciting narrative. I realise how strange our vision of nationalities for these characters is . "King of France" : "France" is only a region around Paris; this part speaks french....but the rest speaks provencals, flemish (Belgians or netherland ?) , Lorrain (oh ! maybe they are german !). Richard king of England...but his mother and his father were fren....oh no ! they spoke occitan. He had probably a high number of occiitans than Brittish in his army as he ruled over twice more "french" than "english". Guy de Lusignan speaks french, i believ but he is the former king of ...Jerusalem. The only thing that counts is the title, the higher they had and it is not representative of todays geogrphy. Ah never forget that all these guys are rivals .
Bro you should research history first. Some part of France today are part of England before.
....or England is a part of the Plantagenet possessions. They come from Anjou and Aquitaine and were dukes and counts there before reigning over England. Henri II is born in Fance (Le Mans) Alienor grew at Bordeaux and is buried at Fontevrault, Richard is born at Oxford, but he died in France and is buried at Fontevraut too. Did they speak english ? Just bribes. England, France has no sense at this period . I know history.
Занятно!
HistoryMarche i love your work, can you pls cover some more crusades? That'll be lovely
Excellent video presentation. Much respect to Saladin especially to Richard 1. Real warriors they were.
Richard was a total bad ass.
Thanks for your gigantic efforts to unleash the greatness of the history, what a heroic legacy was built by these relentless men.
Sacrifice to the algorithm! 🍻
Realy good docu ,history! 1 and half hour ! Great video!!!!
Thanks so much for watching.
A great overview of the 3rd Crusade!
So proud to be related to Richard and the Angevin line
Baha' al-Din, a contemporary Muslim soldier and biographer of Saladin, recorded a tribute to Richard's martial prowess at this battle: "I have been assured ... that on that day the king of England, lance in hand, rode along the whole length of our army from right to left, and not one of our soldiers left the ranks to attack him. The Sultan was wroth thereat and left the battlefield in anger
you know its Impossible to find out any single name of any weapons master that trained Richerd.
ALL accounts say that his skill was remarkable....so who taught him???
"When men became beasts"
What a magnificent tile!
Perfect to watch when coming home drunk af.
Is there a way to tell if these were previously uploaded separate or if this is all new content? I wanna watch but don’t wanna rewatch old episodes 😭
They’re usually older videos put together if you see (All Parts) in the title
same question
hopefully chronologically 😆@@GenZFinancial
Thank you for the well presented history lesson.
Love these vids...so facinatinating
36:40 Richard did not kill the prisoners because Salahuddin refused any payment or pice of true cross. Those were other parts of negotiations. Richard killed them because he calculated the cost of feeding and watching the prisoners to be unbearable.
He killed the prisoners of war for logistical issues. The Lion Heart.
Wt a loin heart killing prisoners.... that's a haena heart
There is a risk freeing an enemy. Which is that they would most likely regroup with rest of army and then attack again.
@@carphalphinx
True and Salahuddin took this risk again and again and beaten his enemy again and again. That is why it is a mistake to compare Richard and Salahuddin.
@@abdozium10
It was a taunt.
@@ahzamrasheed1208Saladin took slaves. Muslims have been historic losers since the end of their golden age
The fact that Saladin, on home field, couldn't defeat the malnourished and ill-supplied English goes to show that he was never a great military leader. The "Christian" nations were their own worst enemies.
A weak conclusion only a simple mind could come up with. There were numerous factors at play that you overlook.
@@enthusiast0What factors?
@@nicknite7475 try watching the video.
@@enthusiast0 I've stood where these battles took place. I've done my homework. There were many factors at play, many of which were explained. Still, my comment stands. The invaders had to cross the seas resupplying troops and supplies. Saladin had massive advantages in practically every category and still was incapable of expelling a malnourished and ill-supplied force.
@@BOCH-rum which notable Historians second your conclusion?
As a mental exercise, put yourself in Saladin's shoes and take in the historical context. Maybe that will open your eyes to his perspective.
I watched the whole video. Its truly a masterpiece.
Great video. Thank you, Cheer from Finland.
Salahuddin Al Ayubi was so respected that even his enemies praised and honored him. History was written for proof by the opponents themselves.
Men became beasts??
People forget, the crusades was a response to beasts aggression.
It wasn't the initiative, it was the response.
people forget because they arent told this
It doesn’t help when channels like this take the usual secular narrative about CrUsADe BaD
@@jacklaurentius6130 Werent they? Crusaders murdered anyone in their path, women, children, other christians, muslims so please tell me what good their brought?
@@origami83 are they not allowed to attack enemy combatants when storming a city?
I mean we still defend those who do the same thing today in Europe. But they aren’t Chr - WAIT I SEE WHY YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEM NOW!
@@jacklaurentius6130 Do you have problems reading, where did i say that they cant kill combatants?
They burned entire cities to the ground on their way to the levant when the cities refused to open their gates. Crusaders kill anyone, not just combatants and also after a surrender. Also when those knights arent busy killing innocents during their crusades they are murdering pagans to convert them to christianity.
i dont understand what you mean to imply with second part of your message.
Outstanding content as always 👌
This is Heaven thank you sooooo much for this!❤️
Saladin took many slaves in jerusalem. Dont whitewhash him.
Of course he did. Muslims can't hide what their Qur'an says, or their Hadiths.
Third crusade was a draw in my opinion. Whereas the Christians won the first and Muslims the second, both parties achieved success in the 3rd. Barbarossa whooped the Seljuks and Lionheart bested Saladin twice due to superior tactics and leadership. But the ultimate prize of Jerusalem was still in Muslims hands, so the crusade was only a partial success.
Other than the first, Muslims won the rest.
@@ridwanzakifaisal Nope. You'd like to believe that, but Christians won all the major engagements in the third crusade. Barbarossa crushed the Seljuk Turks twice forcing them to give up their capital and Richard the Lionheart won 3-0 against Saladin at Acre, Jaffa and Arsuf - in all of those battles except for siege of Acre Muslims having numerical superiority. Just to make things clear - Christians were not defeated in ANY engagement of third crusade be it an ambush, siege or open battle.
Third crusade did not secure Jerusalem, but it secured entire coast from Tyre to Acre, re-established strong position of Crusader kingdoms and recaptured Cyprus placing it in hands of templar orders. It also managed to chastise Turks in Anatolia greatly for decades and reaffirmed Byzantine Empire through this proxy.
In contemporary historiography it has been painted as inconclusive, but modern historians given above start to depict as the Crusaders' success. I'm not sure how given all facts you can say Muslims won anything in it.
@@terro3842 Lionheart was 2-0 against Saladin. Don't give him too much credit at Acre as it was Guy De Lusignan who ordered the construction of the defences and dug in to avoid the Christians getting stomped. Lionheart and Phillip II came in at the end with fresh supplies, but Guy was the man of the hour. Jaffa to me was a skirmish, despite what Lionheart lovers say. Arsuf on the other hand was a clear victory for the Christians due to superior unit usage, namely the Hospitallers.
Kinda. Barbarossa defeated a disunited Seljuk force. Kilij Arslan had agreed to let Barbarossa march through Anatolia because the Seljuks had been playing at diplomacy with the Christians at the time, there's even a popular myth that Kilij Arslan and Barbarossa were distant cousins, but the Sultan's son disagreed and a civil war broke out. Barbarossa essentially took advantage of the situation. I mean, that is still really impressive, but still a bit nuanced.
ty for this amazing video i really enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome vid thanks . Men of courage on both sides . Life then must have been brutal . Cheers from New Zealand
While Richard fought in the 1st ranks while Sultan the coward hid behind his men.
Salahaldine fought against Europe, not just Richard, and won the war. The 3rd Crusader only won a few battles and gained very lettel land from the cost nothing to brag about.
Salahaldine was sick and died 4 months after this war. The Crusaders went back empty-handed.
The main objective was Jerusalem and Europe lost. Of course, the excuse will be Europe didn't have much troops wuch is a big joke, but this is just to make you sleep better at night.
But the truth is that Salahaldine broke your army's and sent them back as losers all this while he was sick.😂
@@qutuzm7753actually Saladin lost every battle he fought against Richard, he didn't break any army, he just got his ass kicked repeatedly until Richard had to leave to fight a king that was actually good at war, unlike, you know, your raghead sultan
@@qutuzm7753 Saladan and Richard at least respected each other. Sadly this cannot be said for those in the youtube comment section.
Attacking so far away from their power base in europe wasnt smart with supply lines so stretched and reinforcement slow to arrive. Richard almost lost his crown due to troubles back home with nothing to show for it. Even if they had managed to capture Jerusalem it would only be a matter of time before they lost it again. I guess god wasnt on their side.
On the other hand Saladin got really lucky with the french pulling back most of their troops and the german crusaders never arriving because their king died on the way. If their army really was 200.000 man strong i wondered how things turned out had they arrived in the levant. So Saladin wasn't fighting the whole of Europe, more like a small expeditionary force made up of mostly English and smaller contingents of a few other countries. According to this video the crusaders numbered at the most 12000 in total? That is quite a small army actually.
@@qutuzm7753 Spanish deals wit reconquista, germans came back in HRE after Barbarossa.
Saladin fought only against a french-english army but crusaders indeed don't gain massive land.
@@origami83 Richard army wast mostly french, not english and those who withdrew where from land outside the plantagenet empire
