The First Crusade - A Complete History (All Parts)

- The First Crusade was one of the most extraordinary, bloody and significant episodes in medieval history. It began with an appeal for aid from the Christian Byzantine Empire, threatened by the rising power of the Muslim Seljuk Turks. But when Pope Urban II preached a sermon at Clermont in 1095, the result was unlike anything ever seen before.

Well Bible says, to kill babies and infants, so crusaders followed it.
In other hand, Quran says “Dont kill woman, children and slaves”.
It was barbaric, but not unique for shamanists and europeans.
Yeah they killed women and children, thats wrong
THIS man speaking could easily rally Christendom into another Crusade ! The passion and charisma is insane ! I want to go on a crusade now! He's captured my medieval imagination like no other !

25 minutes cannot cover over 4 years of crusadin'.
Most of your series stood the test of time.This one is certainly one of them.
The gritty music played in low notes really gives you that medieval feel of the dark ages
At least because of whatever ages,Islam didn't reach Europe, and at least nature and science survived
The crusades happened during the high Middle Ages, not the “dark age” which is the early Middle Ages.
@@joellaz9836 well if you want to be very specific that is true.
However "dark ages" is a pretty common term used to describe the medieval era as a whole.
The phrase "Dark Age" itself derives from the Latin saeculum obscurum, originally applied by Caesar Baronius in 1602 when he referred to a tumultuous period in the 10th and 11th centuries (taken from wikipedia).
---->> > They slaughtered innocent women and children N the name of Christ
- 1 - 1 Samuel 15:2-3 2 This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. 3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy[a] all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”
2 - Exodus 21:20-21 20 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.
3 - Matthew 10:34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.”
4 - Numbers 31 : 13 - 18 13 Moses, Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the community went to meet them outside the camp. 14 Moses was angry with the officers of the army - the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds - who returned from the battle. 15 “ Have you allowed all the women to live ? ” he asked them. 16 “ They were the ones who followed Balaam’s advice and enticed the Israelites to be unfaithful to the Lord in the Peor incident, so that a plague struck the Lord’s people. 17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
5 - Deuteronomy 20:16 However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes.
6 - Ezekiel 9 : 5 - 6 5 As I listened, he said to the others, “Follow him through the city and kill, without showing pity or compassion. 6 Slaughter the old men, the young men and women, the mothers and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the old men who were in front of the temple.
7 - Isaiah 13 : 15 - 16 15 Whoever is captured will be thrust through; all who are caught will fall by the sword. 16 Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses will be looted and their wives violated
8 - Hosea 13 : 16 The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open.”
9 - Joshua 6 : 21 - 24 21 They devoted the city to the Lord and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it-men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys. 22 Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house and bring her out and all who belong to her, in accordance with your oath to her.” 23 So the young men who had done the spying went in and brought out Rahab, her father and mother, her brothers and sisters and all who belonged to her. They brought out her entire family and put them in a place outside the camp of Israel. 24 Then they burned the whole city and everything in it, but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron into the treasury of the Lord’s house.
10 - Zechariah 14 : 2 " I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city."

I enjoy this "All Parts" format a lot. Such high quality content. Congrats Epic History TV. 😃
All parts just means the whole series is shown together in one video instead of 3 or 4 different video clips which is how he always does it. He makes a certain amount or certain section and releases that and then he makes the next section and releases that and so forth and so on until he’s complete. Once he’s done with the last part he just edits the whole thing together and releases it as “All Parts” 😅
Bohemond of Taranto is gotta be one of the most badass names I ever heard

That’s what Bohemond’s name means: large, big. He was given that name because when he was born he was such a large baby.
@@bhall4996What an interesting flag that would be 🤔

Epic History is pure gold. I never cared for the Napoleonic Wars era but you had me completely hooked. Would LOVE to see more ancient history from this channel, even a deep dive on Caesar would be amazing
This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs. Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc
Only superficial Disneyesque "history" from mainstream channels, not the truth like how REDACTED.
@@scintillam_dei Where do you get your history from?
@@poopsqwigle That HItler was a Templar was a logical deduction based on mainstream photos of the man with a Templar cross. That's one example. If you think for yourself, you can see that mainstream narratives don't make sense of all evidence.
I'm not saying all history that is mainstream is wrong, but much of it is full of patriotic lies to make a nation look good, for example.
@@scintillam_dei Well the saying history is written by the victors certainly has validity. I agree mainstream history tends to paint home team as the good guy which destroys all nuance and complexity to any historical event. Im not a historian by any means but I feel like it’s been pretty easy for me to hear different accounts of history or see the different narratives pushed through the use of history.
My question really was where do you get your history from? Like is their an app or author you recommend?
Excellent documentary. If only school could’ve been that engaging and interesting. Excellent graphics and editing as well. Subscribed.
Fun fact: I'm watching for my school project! Hopefully it'll be helpful!

Non of this was actually driven by religion as its been framed here , its just a coincidence that those fighting were religious... If you know anything about politics, the human condition & real history its simply a fact that this was all simply a fight for material resources as per usual... 😴
Videos like this are designed to create division, a feeling of 'them & us' & most importantly they are used to demonize religion today for political gain!
Its the oldest communist trick in the book!
How sinister 🤔
😊👍
@@davidbent347 Why is a 20 minute video about the Crusades "communist?" In fact, no Western country that participated in the Crusades turned out to be a Communist nation (not evan France or Italy!)
BTW you might know something about politics, the human condition & real history, but slathering your comments with emojis suggests you don't know much about presenting an effective written argument. It looks juvenile and suggests childish thinking.
A lot of older knights went on the Crusades, knowing that they wouldn't be coming back. As for the younger knights, it was the perfect opportunity for those looking for promotions, or looking to earn their knighthood by combat. Common fighters who had been trained for combat, but didn't have titles, went along expecting to come back as "Sir."
was a very poetic time, the big dream was dead in glorious battle and lives for the centuries in the songs and the legends, go to recover the holly land is cleary the most important even of many many time,
You are participating in the lies about the past, being vague and satanic because of how your words are lies. "Looking" and "expecting" are satanic words that are lies because of their satanic numerology, like how expecting is part of a satanic spellcasting ritual because the word begins with ex, and their positions in the alphabet are 5 and 24, which add to 29, and 29 is 2 times 9, which equals 18, which is 6 times 3, or 666, the number of the beast, that we are made to take, or the name of the beast, or the mark of the beast, or not buy and sell, which is written in Revelation chapter 13 verses 17 to 18. The dust of the Earth was lowered and all of what we do is not how the Most High created the doings to be. What we do and what the world is, are both corrupted to amaze and confuse us and make us view Satan as if he is Jah (Psalms chapter 68 verse 4) and using apostrophes, which are unnecessary and only promote confusion and lower dust. You could read about the dust of the earth, who we are and which was lowered for thousands of years, through my account.

Unrelated, but my video was deleted and there was no reason given, do not trust the satanic elites. The account picture for Epic History TV is a pentagram, which is a satanic symbol that is on the image of Baphomet, a demon that Satan worshippers worship. https(colon)//www(dot)kapwing(dot)com/videos/61fd77f1c4434f00ea457bb6 this is also the most recent video which could be seen through my computed (we are not using portals) account, or through this clickable computed text. https(colon)//www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=BJehvnY_EXo. They deleted my computed comments, which I made computed replies and comments of this to all computed accounts. Do not believe their lies, they will do what their commander, Satan, who is Lucifer, wants, because my video contained righteousness, and showing a picture of that Satan worshipper Bill Clinton with Rachel chandler, evidence of trafficking.
@MondoBeno Nope. Knighthood was given in Europe, and not a single foot soldier expected to upgrade to knight.
It is a Victorian romantic view about these times, that doesn't fit reality by far.
The fairy tales of lone knights fighting for a ladies honor are from the 19th century.
To maintain yourself as a knight you had to have three trained horses, full armor, swords in good shape, ten to twenty foot soldiers to look after all your gear, enough food to feed yourself and your personnel, bows, arrows, and other gear for your soldiers etc etc. So they were not travelling from castle to castle as romantics want you to think, they had to own a big estate, with lots of farms, who each delivered a soldier in times of combat. And their tasks as knight were combined with other official tasks like policing, tax collection, local judge, and advisor of the duke, count or bishop they served.
And it may surprise you: They had to be married! This caused problems with the knight orders that were founded, by joining them the knight left all his earthly possessions to the order and disinherited his wife and offspring. That is how those orders became extremely rich. The 'marriage' between knight and order had to be at least three years for his family to loose everything, so the order did all they could to keep him alive for those years, often the only reason for a knight to become a member in these harsh circumstances.
@@dutchman7623 I disagree. A sergeant at arms could be knighted, and it happened. You had to be able to ride a horse, but non-titled could be knighted. And not all knights had to train/equip their own men. It depended on the deal that you made with whoever's vassal you were.
Remarkable video. Important to always recall that the crusades, often vilified, came after more than 400 years of Muslim provocation and conquest.
Spain was also occupied
Like Iraq war….right? 😅
Did muslims in these 400 years massacre christians? Killed children? Like what crusaders did when they took down the muslim cities? You need to know that muslim conquests were strictly organised to not kill innocent people, the killing occurs only during battles (this did not include killing of women even if they were in the battle field, just men), whenever a city is conquered, the people of this city become part of the islamic caliphate people, they can continue their lives normally and practice their faith freely, these things are documented by christian historians not just by muslims, for example, when Omar Ibn Al-Khattab, the second caliph, conquered Jerusalem, it occurred without a drop of blood, the christians in it handed him the keys peacefully and he made contracts with them to not harm them in any way, and he brought back the jews who were exiled from Jerusalem by christians and gave them their rights. But what happened when crusaders invaded muslims lands? You can search about that to see that for example when they took down Jerusalem, they killed any muslim or jew in it, they literally smashed the children heads, historical documents say that the blood in Jerusalem on that day reached knees.
@@SHAM6162 are you stupid or stupid?
You have to remember by the time the crusaders got to Jerusalem. They were already battle hardened basically all of them were skillful knights, letholdus was the first knight to scale the walls, its said he was a massive 7'4"(insane for the time) and just by the sight of him in full plate armor was enough to scare the defenders into retreating off the walls
Are you actually that silly
@@Burningarrow7 no, just something I read in the crusader chronicles, you could look it up lol.
@@LaLaSadiistiic yeh they were too scared standing up on the wall because some 7'4 guy was standing down on the ground 😂

Actually, his accent is far more rhotic than the Standard British Accent. Initially, it made his narration seem more epic, but it's become quite irritable for me, and that sort of feel doesn't go well with this period of history, either.
After watching the video, I am disappointed that many important details are left out, leaving the story not flowing well. For better tellings of medieval history, channels like Kings and Generals and Flash Point History are definitely better. Extra History's series on the First Crusade, while not showing the battles, and only having still images, has a lot of interesting information about the characters and people, that is not mentioned in other tellings of it, from other channels. Kings and Generals and Flash Point History show more maps with battles, with less of a focus on the personal side.
This video only provides a brief overview of the First Crusade, probably intended for people who don't already know much about medieval history. For people who already do, Epic History is doing a disservice, and this video probably isn't worth watching.
The non-medieval videos are good, though.

From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc
@@FreightmareFTW stfu man stop preaching your nonsense in yt comments
I feel like more people need to watch this channel.
This is a wonderfully-made and clearly-explained history lesson. Thank you for the knowledge. Gréât visuals as well! 👍🏼
This is one of the greatest history channels of CZcams. Would be really cool to see you do a series on WW2 or the American Revolutionary War. Keep up the good work!
What an incredible job you guys have done!! Love the music as well - especially from 10:15 😇
Right. Yo that music make it a banger
Great video! im a history major about to graduate college and currently learning about the first Crusade. It is so fascinating!
Awesome. Brings back memories of history classes when I was as kid in Poland.
Not very popular subject anymore but I think it’s important to know how world progressed.
Why would Poland teach history with far left western propaganda in it that makes the Crusaders out to be murdering barbaric?
Just visited Poland for my 1st time this past month.
Loved it...miss it..cherish it
You are right in France too we don’t spread enough the fact that the western world is a christian world.. french people are christians by traditions now .. but church is dying …
Pls keep with this serie ! WE wanna know more about the crusades !
they were like isis
Pure excellence. You upload, I immediately click. Well done guys.
Non of this was actually driven by religion as its been framed here , its just a coincidence that those fighting were religious... If you know anything about politics, the human condition & real history its simply a fact that this was all simply a fight for material resources as per usual... 😴
Videos like this are designed to create division, a feeling of 'them & us' & most importantly they are used to demonize religion today for political gain!
Its the oldest communist trick in the book!
How sinister 🤔
😊👍
Finally Sir an honest treatment God Bless you!
Morning Toby this two part series deserves to be continued with further episodes lol. Swear it My Man any documentary You create is art I'm blown away by this. Love the segment when You start listing the name's of Europes Noble/Feudal Lords.
Great episode !!!
Even though I've seen this 3 times, EHTV released a new video, so it's time to watch it again.
Same!
This channel is truly Epic
❤I am following this production.. It is really one of the most wonderful works. I hope it includes all historical periods.
I absolutely love this part of history.
Great video, i love medieval history and this is the best history channel i've ever seen.
This is a fairly good documentary of the First Crusade. There is so much left out though, because the video length constraint. Things that I wish would have had more attention were the Byzantines role in the Crusades, including the reconquest of Anatolia and more emphasis on how rough Antioch was including the battle of lake Antioch.
I love this channel ❤️ you guys do.amazing work..
I'm a Catholic and we should do it again and keep doing it
u guys will never beat Muslims
religion is just an excuse for people to opress other people wheter Christian or muslim absolutely pathetic.
@@giovannigiorgio2262Your lands are occupied by jews lol
Muslim nations tend not to be the richest nations. They probably wouldn't survive at attack from all Catholic nations.@@giovannigiorgio2262
We aren't that barbaric and ignorant anymore. Cruzades were corruption, slaughter, rape and looting. The people was lured by the "reward" of going to Heaven afterwards.
Shameful!
I absolutely love this channel, great video as always guys!! Keep up the good work👍.
Pretty amazed you summed it down so impressively
Great documentary!!!
Your soundtracks are always the best.. Love this one!
A video on the 2nd Crusade will be great.
Congratulations!!. It is a spectacular tool to learn about these important human events. I also use it to practice my English. Best Regards!!
Excellent presentation!
The first place my mind always goes to is imagining how tough and masculine the members of the first crusade must have been. Particularly the 12,000 that made it to Jerusalem. Nowadays we regard the men who fought in WW2 as extremely tough. Can you imagine one of the First Crusaders? The life of a Medieval peasant was already brutal and full of PTSD. On top of that, these guys hacked and sliced their way across continents into a completely alien world, having to cannibalize children along the way in order to not die.
Right....
Nicely put
Just found your channel and I’m hooked
Wow !!! Imagine having a history teacher like the creator . I would live in the classroom.
Good documentary. Well done.
The city turning red and the screams as you talk of the slaughter sent chills down my spine. Motivated by religion but spreading blood in the holy city.....
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes.
This is so well done. 10/10
I don’t understand how I missed these during the years I’ve been watching Epic History but I’m thoroughly pleased.
There is a 1980s scifi tabletop game called Battletech which has a lore where invaders were also fighting among them too. Now I see where it could have been inspired. I love this video.
Not gonna lie the clans give Turkic nomad vibes.
Battletec I remember like D&D but with a board Mechs and hit point sheets. Had to maneuver close to water to keep cool down.
A pleasant surprise, I literally watched these two videos a couple of days ago!
Thank you. This was excellent
Thank you for the video I heard about this story but didn't know too much about it until now thanks again appreciate it 🙏
The new Crusade has to happen! Glory to Christianity and Jesus!
One omission I would like to comment on is the fact that you only mentioned that the European Christian crusaders massacred Jews and Muslims upon taking the city. They also massacred local Christians as well.
Yes. If you watch the video it explains why. Catholics vs Orthodox.
@@DNSMLT What are you even talking about lol.
Did you forget why the Crusades were created?
@@DNSMLT how? The ottomans became a thing in the 14th century, the crusades started during the 11th century...
@@leonardoferrari4852
My mistake. It started before the Ottoman Empire. That was the last crusade.
I love your channel, your content is mesmerizing and beautiful. please make more crusades, Roman, Greek.
Th.u for this condensed part of history, I like the map illustration 👨🏻🎓👍
The Roman Germanic wars have become really interesting to me lately, any chances of a series on this period?
I watch many videos of this nature. One thing that I think would improve ALL OF THEM would be the inclusion of the 4-digit year, at ALL TIMES, in one corner of the screen, so that the viewer can remind himself which year this is taking place in again. For as many videos of this nature as I watch, I'm still amazingly bad at placing the decade or even the century of many major events of which I've watched numerous multi-hour-long videos on. In short, keeping a year posted in a corner at all times, would, in my strong opinion, drastically boost the educational effectiveness of these videos.
Great show. Great speed too. My dad will be able to follow
Brilliant. Thank you.
My area is 19th Century history. What is so surprising is that the same cities in the Levant are involved in much of the world's unrest, and have been so for as long as we have even had a notion of history. It seems that crossroads of the world is destined to suffer grief always.
