Who Would Be King of Jerusalem Today coming at a later date....
It's me
@@kaleahcollins4567 We wuz kangs
Looking forward to this one. Quite a lot of contenders with quite some complicated genealogy.
@@dellAquin it's obviously me
it might not be the Habsburgs
Mad respect for my boy Baldwin IV
His father of salaudin
@@kumailshah7017both were great men, how can we argue amogst each other and try to bring down the likes of them.
Just think about it 700 years from now no one will even know you existed and you trying to diss Baldwin the 4th
The best king of Jerusalem
For real. I'm neither Christian nor Muslim, but I think Saladin and Baldwin were among the greatest leaders of the middle ages, and I would've been content to live under the rule of either
overrated as fuck
15:35
"You failed to go on crusade. Excommunicated!"
"Excommunicated people can't go on crusade. Double excommunicated!"
"You probably saw this one coming, but...triple excommunicated!"
real pope moment
"Jesus Christ! What do you want from me?"
@@curtiswfranks "Well, you'll never get to ask Him, because you're...wait for it...excommunicated!"
I genuinely felt bad for Frederick II, lol. Dude couldn't catch a break
This is likely a political move in the Popes part because it was a hot topic developing between the HRE and the Papacy called the Investiture controversy, in short its an argument on who had the real power over the other, either the Pope or the Emperor, this even blew up to a War between the Italian states where cities supported either the Pope or the Emperor.
When I play Crusader Kings it's called "family circle"
haha nice
_wait what_
Contrary to Europe there were not many Christian nobility in the Levant.
@Verry Ganteng They were all from Europe and sometimes married a muslim princess or something of that kind. Nowadays here isn´t anything like a ¨Native Jerusalemite¨ because all palestinians are mixed arab and jew and all israelis are mixed jew with European/Magreb. They all have right to live there and should learn to tolerate each other.
@Verry Ganteng Well all of them from Queen Melisandre down were all born in the Levant
@@VincenzoRutiglianoDiaz
That isn’t realistic, the issue isn’t ethnic. It’s religious and since religion a huge ideology for many it’s hard to get past it. Look at Ireland, Ireland is split between two countries, The Republic of Ireland which is Catholic and Northern Ireland which is Protestant both of which have had conflict in the past 100 years due to their religious deference’s.
Israel and Palestine are the same why, in 1948 Israel gained its sovereignty fought for the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and was and is Religiously Jewish, Palestine is/was Sunni Muslim and was also created in 1948 through the duel state treaty however they declared war on Israel do two both religious differences and territorial disputes. Israel had a war with Palestine, Egypt, and multiple other countries.
Eventually there will likely be a Palestinian revolution and there will likely be both Palestinian and Israeli countries existing in the area in the future, both of which will likely have territorial disputes especially as the Jewish people continue their plans to destroy the Temple of the Rock and build the Third Temple of David on the Temple Mount.
"He was murdered by assassins, THE assassins."
Most epic line on CZcams.
Frederick II: "Well they can only excommunicate me once." Pope: "Let's see what technicalities we can play with here..."
Honestly the Papacy really showed its zenith in filth and unchristian behavior during Frederick’s campaign. They constantly tried to have him killed, which led to Frederick (Who was Sicilian) allowing only Muslims in his royal guard. Partly because he didn’t care about people faith, and also they wouldn’t care about the ravings of some asinine Pope.
The pope really did X X +4 UNO cards to Frederick
Frederick II was such a cool guy....he even wrote a famose book "the art of hunting with hawks"
@@reesehendricksen1871 Frederick deserved his excommunications
Reese Hendricksen Frederick “I like birds” the second
I find it interesting that Jerusalem had more reigning queens than most monarchies have ever had. And it was only a kingdom for a couple hundred years.
I mean, it was only cause the men kept dying, really.
Well, doughters could inherit the crown when there were no sons . They didn't look for a second cousin once removed, just to get a male heir.
yes yes feminism rah rah rah...that was only done to piss off the surrounding enemy
Sounds like a queendom to me.
It's largely due to the fact its a frontier society. With men dying more often in military conflict, women were often the reason men inherited any power or wealth at all. They lived long enough to build up money, land and political connections, they were the ones carrying institutional and family knowledge, so they were too valuable and powerful to be messed with or ignored. We're also dealing with a time period (at least during the 1st crusade) where primogeniture and salic law were very far from normal among European elites. Life was just too precarious, so in many areas family would leave equal inheritances to their sons or indeed all their children. Eventually monarchs realised this benefited the church (to which many of these children were sent) more than themselves (through a powerful lay elite), and changed inheritance laws.
Baldwin IV is one of the badass crusades kings in my opinion in my opinion
YES
actually they were all badass in their own way... literally one strong bloodline here
That's not the Crusader Kings family tree. Not enough incest.
Incestry is the purest of ancestry 😎
habsburg feelings
@@Alin-ql6it Ohh yes the Habsburgs, perfect role models! Makes you feel like marrying your niece or something...

Actually the titel "King of Jerusalem" is hold by five people until today:
Franz, Duke of Bavaria
Pedro, Duke of Calabria
Karl Habsburg-Lorraine
Felipe VI. King of Spain
the 17th baron of Baccari (i dont know the name)
the King of Italy (House of Savoy) also claims the title
@@jacobhutchins2029 yes, and these get their claim through the house if Savoy
I would propose Zera Yacob as a possible successor, not for his relation with these kings, but for his relationship with Solomon, the once King of Zion/Israel.
@Alexandru Bogdan Stirbu i dont think so..
Michael Weiske that’s an interesting proposal. It would make sense if there was to be a “Kingdom of Judah” somehow revived, and it would be fitting since the Ethiopian royal family is the only family to claim descent from Solomon. But, since he is head of the Ethiopian line, maybe another choice could be Prince Ermias so Zera wouldn’t have to give up his royal titles?
me: crusader kings looks so fun I wanna try it out
also me: I have absolutely no idea whats going on
just play as a lord in ireland, it's a good way to start slow and learn everything at your own pace
That's part of the fun
I really don't think Crusader Kings 3 is that complicated. It's just a combination of other styles of games. It's a mini-RPG with your main character and kind of a visual novel with its events. It's a fairly straight forward 4X game when it comes to kingdom management, not so different from Civ. Ultimately it's about telling the story of an extended family of power people, how they work together and betray each other.
Just play as like Poland or something.
The in-game tutorial is pretty good if you haven't tried it yet. You get a slightly easier start in Ireland and can keep playing after the tutorial finishes.
15:40 the reason why he was repeatedly excommunicated by the pope was because of embroilments in Italy, where Frederick was trying to unite Sicily with Germany (which translated into the Guelphs and Ghibellines conflict in northern Italy) threatening the papal domains. The life’s story and character of Frederick II are astonishing for his time, I would even dare to say he kickstarted the Renaissance.
Fun fact: Despite regaining Jerusalem Frederick II was criticized among christians for not achieving enough and crussading while being excommunicated.
He is in general an interesting figure. Very tolerant and progressive for his time. He deserves much more credit than he gets
He is.. no doubt the most unfaily treated kings of the middle ages..
I mean his name Fred just sounds like the beat up comic relief character in a cartoon.
He was that last king that tried to save everything, but everything ended up crashing down after he died.
BW
Friedrich II was dubbed STUPOR MUNDI.
He also was recognized as one if not The One of the greatest Emperors of the HRE.
Great video Matt. It’s always incredible how much history you can learn from your family tree.
Also Philip II Augustus is a fascinating guy. First King of France! Before the French kings were King of the Franks, not King of France.
It’s a shame Philip II of France doesn’t get as much attention as Richard the Lionheart. Philip was more chivalrous and more the stereotypical “knight” than Richard was.
Merovingian descendants have the best claim since the Donation of Constantine
There is no difference between the King of the Franks and King of France. Same people of the same family, ruling the same kingdom and people. Only the name changed. They refered to ruling a territory rather than a people.
But the title of Francorum Rex was used by French kings until the revolution
@@Zach-mw5so Is that a joke? Philip Augustus was a great King for the French, possibly one of the best they ever had, but he was neither knightly nor chivalrous. Every time he was confronted head-on by Richard, he ran away with his tail between his legs. What's chivalrous about attacking the lands of an sanctified Crusader (whose lands are supposed to be inviolate while he is on crusade) because you know he's in prison and can't do anything about it?
@@skiteufr There actually is a difference, because it marks the development of kingdoms into nation-states. Even if the differences in practice aren't much, there's a big ideological and symbolic difference between being King of the Frankish People, and being King of the Land Area called 'France'.
How is it that despite this video being directly linked to the Crusader kings that this is the one that isn't sponsored by CK3
Because Paradox decided to not give him money
None of these historical figures are in crusader kings 3
Gumby Shrimp I mean technically all of the figures he talked about for the 1st crusade are alive in the 1066 start date
@@gumbyshrimp2606 wait I can't play with Baldwin IV?
@@derniercaesar5319 in ck2 you can but not in ck3 need mods for that
This was genuinely really informative, I knew almost nothing about the Crusader states, so this is really great to learn about
this chart explains SO much that could never make sense without it. Thanks for your content.
Baldwin IV is the one portrayed in Kingdom of Heaven.
The person portrayed by Eva Green was the sister-in-law of an ancestor of mine.
From a ck2 player, this is a great way to sneak in on that algorithm. I'm glad I got to be entertained by something I can also kinda learn from. It'd be cool to see your sources in the description, even if it's just some wikipedia pages.
It's frustrating how close Richard came to capturing Jerusalem before turning back. SO close...
OMG i'm so thankful for this, love this channel and love crusader kings :)
Lol Fulk's portrait is him going "Oh fulk".
My profile picture has been of Fulk for years. I always forget though. Was very odd to see my pfp in a video by one of my favorite creators!
Never clicked a video faster! Great topic!
Could you do a video explaining the family trees of the Shoguns of Japan from the Minamoto, Ashikaga and Tokugawa Clans including who is most likely to be Shogun if Japan were to restore its Shogunate
maybe........
Please do Hatfields and McCoys family tree explaining the developments of their famous Feud.
Only famous in America I think
Excellent breakdown . Awesome job .
This would make an interesting chart, perhaps reworked a little with some added info especially for the important crusades. I would buy. Great video!
Crusader Kings!
Yay!
Right in time!
yes yeah right
Why is it right in time in confused
@@foxfoster1 read the description
@@blankspace998 Oh ok. I like that game too I should have known
Actually Tripoli was conquered after Jerusalem, and the first Crusader State was Edessa. And Godfrey was not from southern France at all, he was from Northwest (Boulogne) and later got Northeast (Lower Lorraine).
Yes, both Prince Hugh and Godfrey were from northern France. A lot of the preaching for the crusade happened in the north, because that’s where a lot of the descendants of the warlike Franks lived. In the South the Occitans lived. Raymond was enthusiastic enough but not as much as the North.
Zach north/south of France that is the same people , the southern french are just a mix Franks and occitans,basques,gascons ... And I am French and trust me the southern french are stronger than the northern one 😉
Rachel Sombo If I ever insinuated the southern French to be any weaker than the northern, I apologize :p
@@Zach-mw5so
Ironic how the pope intended for the southern to lead the crusade
Thank you for showing that im really interested in these things
I'm pretty sure Godfrey of Bouillon was from Lorraine, not southern France. Raymond of Toulouse was from the South, obviously, but Bouillon is not.
Also, Richard "and Phillip" didn't capture a few cities along the coast. They captured one, Acre, and then Phillip went home to France so that he could attack Richard's lands in Normandy and Aquitaine while Richard was still in the Holy Land, taking those other coastal cities you were talking about (Jaffa, Ascalon, etc.).
@@fluffytom82 Oh you're right, I see. He became a Duke of Lorraine in his early 20s, and I misunderstood that to mean that his original "Lordship of Bouillon" was located in Lorraine rather than Boulogne.
But either way, he's not from Southern France.
As a direct descendent of half the folks in this chart, I appreciate this! 🥰
I'm a descendant of Hugh I, King of Cyprus
@@asherasmodeus Then you are probably a descendant of Charlemagne as well.
@@Otaku155 I am. I have my family tree dating back to pre-roman times as well.
@@asherasmodeus thats actually really cool. Do you have every single generations leading down to you recorded?
Hey, then we are related. I am a descendant of all the royal families. My 28th great grandfather was Fulk King of Jerusalem.
OMG I never imagined you and Crusader Kings together
Oh, I've been asking for something like this for so long! Thank you so much! Please, who would be King of Jerusalem today?!
My money is on the descendants of the last King of Italy having the strongest claim, if such a thing existed. The nation of Israel, Palestine and many others would probably get in the way.
I guess I’m related to fulk too, it’s amazing how you have family trees that include my ancestors. I like learning about this stuff, thank you and keep it up 👍🏻
*Jerusalem exists* : French nobles : hippity hoppity you’re now my property
I mean you could say the Same to Rome (both Ancient and Byzantine), the Abbasids, the Ayyubids(Arabs), Mamluks (predominantly Cumans,Circassians, Abkhazians, Oghus Turks and Georgians) and Ottomans (Turks). (as all of them are foreign Empires and Kingdoms.)
The Ancient Egyptians, the Hittites, Alexander.....
Point is a ton of Empires had a hand print in the Lavant.
damn, only my boy Baldwin IV managed to rule so greatly and magnificently AND with leprosy which caused him to go blind in his later years
They should used primogeniture instead of seniority.
Probably wouldn't have helped much, they'd have lost the power built up by the women who were already embedded politically in the society to import men who were many many miles away (e.g. Melisende's next male kin would've been from France of whatever with no clue about the local political situation, just like her husband. At least by placing her as co ruler her husband had access to the authority and knowledge SHE had built up among the locals.)
Also, they'd have been more prone to dying in war, so there'd have been a higher turn over.
What about gavelkind?
@@njb1126 fucking gavelkind, the succession law that brings down empires
Thanks for this, I think I requested this one :-)
For some reason I just found this. Thank you. I, too, am related to King Fulk.
Crusader Kings: Family Circle
Me (an Asian): Literally 90% of my family have the same surname (maiden included) o_O
Another good chart!
The only legitimate one who literally has the original title that he inherited from the Catholic kings is today Felipe VI of Spain and Greece.
Great Video!
To think that all those People's Crusade participant could be settlers for the newly established Kingdom of Jerusalem, providing the Kingdom with native French population and manpower right within the Kingdom's Border (instead of having to import Knights and Nobility from Europe), it's just such a waste potential that the First Crusade is not well managed.
Eventually the lack of manpower is the cause of Jerusalem's failiure.
The conniving of the French king (murdering the sons and grandson of Frederick II.) in camaraderie with the Pope and Venice brought an end to Jerusalem.
@@Rickuo That's much later on. I'm saying that if the Crusaders were able to establish numerous loyal French population it might be able to establish a stable and settled Kingdom instead of just the few ruling Franks holding Castles and rule lands over foreign subjects. This is how the Muslims expands, by dispossessing people who are not Arabs (and later Turks) and settle the land themselves.
Thank you, l now understand the multiple crusades...
Great content 👍👏👏
This guy knows how to title a video to catch all the YT traffic from the new Crusader Kings game
Man, i am surprised no factions plotted against them and usurped the throne like every single game in ck2 i play.
I'm surprised there was no accidental incest like every time I play ck2
Txs. Great channel. Try Alfred Duggan author 'Count Bohemond' and his other short fiction novels.
Godfrey represented Boulougne dynasty as the Duke of Lower Lorraine and the Lord of Bouillon which is where he gets his name Godfrey of Bouillon. He was a vassal of the HRE and his realm was in the NE border of France and Germany, which usually was under the Duchy of Flanders and is where Belgium and the Netherlands are now. So he did not represent Southern France as you claimed. Southern France or rather Toulouse was Occitan too at the time and was very loosely under the French crown.
Correction though. Godfrey of Bouillion was from the modern day Wallonia (French speaking Belgium), Bouillon is a city today the frontier of Belgium and France. :)
Jep ive been there many times. There is also a beautifull medieval castle on a hill. It might be build by him idk.
Live your video. But can you do a video about the Dacian Kingdom?
Thanks!
What software do you use for the family tree and maps. It’s so cool!
Great video as usual! Could y'all watch The 100 S1-S7 and do something with that? ☺
2:40
Godfrey de Bouillon didn't represent southern France with Raymond: he was Duke of Bouillon, which is in present-day Belgium. He led the crusade's, north-eastern French, Flemish, Frisian and German contingents.
there was kings of cyprus? oh shoot there is like 19 of em, this would work as a vid
Since they would be technically the titular kings of Jerusalem I think it would be interesting to see as well.
I feel that Robert of Flanders, along with Robert of Normandy and Steven of Blois together should also be considered a principal crusading force, their armies were probably to most loyal to the Byzantines, and agreed to the oaths they promised to Alexios
I my CKII PlayThrough I managed to Conquer Europe through the first 3 crusades as Baldwin the Leper So thank you for showing me his History
Could you do a useful chart of the evolution of beer and other alcohol?? :)
I’ve been watching a lot of the British Royal Family videos and so funny enough, the one part that blew my mind was how Geoffrey Plantagenet was (through marriage) related to the Kings/Queens of Jerusalem lol
Thats incorrect. Actually Geoffrey Plantagenet was related to the Kings of Jerusalem by blood. King Baldwin III and Amalric I were his half-brothers. his father Fulk was King of Jerusalem in his own right unlike Guy de Lusignan who was only King in right of his wife, Sybilla. Sybilla, Baldwin IV and Isabella were Geoffrey's nieces and Henry II's cousins and Richard the Lionheart's aunts and uncle.
@@godfathergtg I was just going by what I saw in the video. You have a correction, send it Matt’s way, too.
@@baronvg did so
Baldwin IV The Leper King was Henry II Plantagenet's great grandfather. Cool.
Jack's back. 😀
Speaking of the Templars (hehe I knew you'd do that), can y'all do the AC tree? With all the characters and their connections (the 3D main games, not 2D ones)
My 24th great grandfather was Baldwin I, Latin Emperor, Caesar of Constantinople
Lol. When I saw crusader kings, I knew it would tag the game.
can you make a video on the Mohamed Ali dynasty of Egypt?
I loved the video and I really think you should create multiple subsets of the channel (in same channel) I.E fantasy(Movies, Books, Games T.V), history, theory/theoretical, Mythology/religion or even education based videos I.E the Kamala Harris or king pope videos.
For reference the YT channel "Jon Solo"
Could you do a video on Welsh princes?
That sounds good!
Fulk V, Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem is my 27th great grandfather and he also fought as a knight templar in 1119 or 1120 in the crusades and King Henry the 2nd is my 25th great grandfather
He's my 26th great grandfather and Henry II is my 24th great grandfather. That makes us related! :D lol
What a mess. You gave such a great explanation.
In my crusader kings 2 save. It was the king of France. The emperor of Mali, Maghreb, Francia, And a couple other empires. He was also the pope.
You have a mistake. At 7:37 Damascus was mentioned as the new crusaders' goal, but the picture shows Damascus gate, which is actually in Jerusalem, and did not exist anyway in the 12th century as the current city wall, which the Damascus gate is part of, was built by the Ottomans in the 16th century
I just learned am descent of a Crusader. The more I dig into it the more mysteries thing come out. Quiet a complex subjectz
Fulk V was my great grandfather. Amalric, Baldwin III and Richard the Lionheart are my grand uncles. Baldwin IV, the bad ass Leper King, is my 1st cousin.
Imagine if he played a game of CK2 and then made a video about it. He could give his own story on the family tree and all that.
I immediately thought of ck2/ck3😂
The Templar Knights were French, and they are responsible for the first crusades. I learn that not a while ago.
Such a beautiful intro !!....can anyone tell me the name of that song (music)?
It's in the description.
The "History of the Crusades" podcast is awesome if anyone wants to go deeper into the Crusades stories.
Thanks for the recommendation
@@chombus2602 NP. She started it a long time ago, so the early episodes aren't the pinnacle of sound quality, but I only remember that I enjoyed them either way.
100% this, thats a great great podcast. Highly recommended.
Baldwin IV was probably one of the greatest rulers to ever walk the Earth
cool ty
Conrad II of Jerusalem was the only surviving child of Isabella II so his siblings had no claim at all to the Kingdom of Jerusalem, but look at the Brienne claim, because that could be interesting.
Brienne line is actually the senior line after Conrad II/Conradin die and the Lusignan First House dies out. But the Poitiers-Lusignan took over.
11:03 - Widower*
My husband is a direct decend of Folk, Geoffrey, King Henry II of England and so on.
Many of the notables lists are great great grandfathers of mine.
Interesting, but why is there no mention of King Sigurd I of Norway. He was the first European king to lead a major crusade to the Holy Land?
these lineage videos always remind me that there were like 5 total families that did literally anything in this era of europe and everyone that matters was one of the 5
the music reminds me of 'unreal world'
I'm looking for a serious reference on who all participated in the Crusades.. Does anyone know if such documents exist?
How can Godfrey of Bouillon represent Southern France?? When he lived in Northern France (today we call it Belgium). His castle is still in Bouillon, you can visit it.
I’ve been studying the Crusades for a decade and a half and I had no idea the Plantangents were related to the rulers of Jerusalem!
They offered Henry II the Crown of Jerusalem in the 1180s, before it was taken by Saladin. He declined, probably because he didn't give a fuck about Jerusalem, but the excuse he gave was that he wouldn't be able to fulfil his oaths as King of England, if he also accepted the crown of Jerusalem.
@@SRosenberg203 That claim would be pretty weak. Fulk who is the one that connected the families was Baldwin IV's grandfather and he still had living sisters with (eventually) children.
@@mrXOwarrior It was less about his claim and more about the fact that he was a wealthy badass who might have been able to adequately defend the Kingdom if he assumed the Throne. When I say "they" I was referring to the Archbishop of Tyre, and several leading barons sworn to the King of Jerusalem.
Me, neither! And I've been studying them for a long time, too!
It’s interest that the actual line of rulers are all descended from Baldwin II. There’s only a loose, cousin connection to Godfrey and Baldwin I, neither had any children.
Could you make a video about who would be the living person with the best claim to the Kingdom of Jerusalem?
Most likely the person with the strongest claim to the Crusader State of Jerusalem would be connected to the Kings of Cyprus and thus either the House of Savoy (Kings of Italy) or the House of Brienne (kings of France).
@@mrXOwarrior
The historically correct answer is the person who can march an army to Jerusalem and get the people to proclaim him king.
Other than that, the King of Spain claims the title, and as he is the only existing monarch to claim it, he has the biggest claim.
Though, I will point out that the Kings of Jordan have claimed to be the protector of the holy sights of Jerusalem, and they even claimed Jerusalem as a second capital after annexing the West Bank (So yeah, if you think Jordan supported/ supports Palestinian independence look at history) in 1950.
So perhaps, the Kings of Jordan have a better claim.
I don’t really accept blood claims as the only reason why someone has the best claim to a throne abolished centuries ago. I think the person with the best claim is a current monarch, who claims the title, and has some sort of history with the area.
Imagine being excommunicated because you were already excommunicated.
2:40 How can Godfrey represent Southern France when Boullion lies north of Paris?
yes he is from the actual Belgium lol
Bouillon lies in modern day Belgium. I don't understand either why he represented southern France
Good now do the Vic 2 family tree
i love crusader kings making the rounds
So who would be the King of Jerusalem today?
