As this video seems to be getting attention, I just wanted to thank you all again for watching! I really appreciate your kind comments. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!
Also, I included a portrait of 'Baldwin II' instead of 'Baldwin I' when talking about the Order of the Holy Sepulchre. Apologies.
In London the Temple train station is where the Knights Templar had a church, there is also a site outside of Bristol in England called Bristol Temple Meads for similar reasons.
The moral of the Templers story is........don't loan huge sums of money to the King of France and expect to be paid back. One day you're a Christian knight with huge amounts of money . The next day they're hanging you by your balls from the ceiling.
Also in the kingdom of Valencia part of the Crown of Aragon as Ordre de Montesa.
Goated video
@ryu_😊san_
The knights Hospitals still exist, though more commonly known as the Knights of Malta
Yeah he just skiped on over half of their history.
I was focusing on the crusades, so 11th to 15th century.
@@TheBasedPlato yes, I caught that, but you did say they went out of existence in the 1700's and that was what I reacted to.
i mean, there are some orders that just survived like the teuton knights.
@@yopoxikeweapescai9066: In german town Bad ( Bath) Mergentheim, Teutonic Knights had their formal headquarters after 1525 to end of HRE in 103/06. There in palace is a large museum about Teutonic Knights. According to this museum , the last man who had the right to call himself a Ritter ( knight) died 1971/73 in high age. In 1920s the Teutonic Knights Order changed its name into Teutonic Order, so in early 1920s last men got the rank Ritter.
The Knights Templar continued in Portugal. The then King of Portugal had their name changed to the Order of Christ, thus avoiding the persecution from the pope. “Nope, we totally don’t have Templars in these parts, move along”.
And then the new Order of Christ played a major role during the exploration period and the discovery of the Americas
Huge note is that the Portuguese crown was the only one in Europe to literally say "Nah fudge off France". They not only welcomed Templar refugees and created their new order, they defyed both France and the Pope by refusing to persecute them
@@Delta_47 Based Portugal
@@Delta_47why did the pope want to persecute them?
@@om-qg7ju He didn't really want to, but he was "forced" By the French King.
Basically the French king owed a lot of money to a lot of people, and one of the entities he owed the most to were the templars. At the time he had a great influence over the Pope and convinced him to accept his accusations against the templars. They were accused of heresy, rape and everything really. The ones that were caught were tortured until they admitted the false claims to be true.
This persecution was enforced by the French crown upon the whole of Europe. As far as I know, Portugal was the only kingdom to refuse, always working to convince the Pope to let them create a holy order, The Order of Christ. Once this order was established, all possessions of the templars in Portugal was given to them, and the templars in refuge joined the new Order.
Crusaders are just the coolest knights possible
true and basically where always the good ones (biased opinion)
You're the reason free speech is bad.
I'm not so sure... Running around Jerusalem in a full set of armour must be quite a sweaty affair.
You are aware that the military wings of these bodies committed what would be called war crimes today.
@@Darilon12indeed it was. Made worse by the fact that their surcoats were made of wool, not linen or cloth.
This is the best quick explanation of the crusader orders I have ever seen. Great job!
I would say that the Order of Santiago was the most successful in fulfilling its mission, because they restored Christianity in the Iberian Peninsula.
You missed one order, which is the „Livonian Brothers of the Sword“ they look similar to the Knights of Dobryn, but are a different German Order, who also later joined the Teutonic Knights.
Yeah, I kind of omited them due to them being a branch of the Teutons in later years as you said. Judging from the comments I wish I included them as a few people mentioned Livonians. Some of the Spanish orders got axed as well.
@@TheBasedPlatoa 2nd video with a few of the missed fan favs would be awesome!
There're others of order he missed.
And the Ordem de Cristo, based in Tomar, heir of the Knights Templar in Portugal.
@@TheBasedPlato There're others of order you missed.
Great video! Maybe for the 2.0 version include what happened with the Knights Hospitaliers and how they are incredibly active to this day, even as a member of the UN (United Nations - Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta). When the Order split during the reformation the protestant arms became the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem (Anglican arm and a Knightly order under the British crown to this day and a vast first aid organisation). Another part became the Bailiwick of Brandenburg of the Chivalric Order of Saint John of the Hospital at Jerusalem (Protestant arm), Commenderij Nederland van de Balije Brandenburg der Johanniter Orde (Dutch Reformed arm) and the Johanniterorden i Sverige (Lutheran arm).
Equally interesting is that Napoleon dissolved the order after seizing their land (Malta). What survived and remained of the Order fled, in part, to Russia where Tsar Paul I, intrigued by the chivalric and religious nature of the order, offered them protection. He even went as far as becoming a Grand Master of a Russian priory of the order. The West hated this then, and hates it today, and you'll find various sites of the Catholic/Protestant Orders mentioned 'fake' or 'Quasi' Orders pretending to be Successors. The politics and strife lives on and is worth mentioning, I think!
That's always fascinated me. They had colonies in the Caribbean and are the tiniest country in the world.
I wonder how the Czars comprised their strong attachment to the Russian orthodox church and their old rivals in the Catholic church orders? I guess the Czars gave them limited protection under some restrictions in the Russian priory mentioned?
In germany theres the Johanniterorden as well. Active to this day.
Most of the Orders of Saint John who are genuine descendants of the Hospitallers (e.g. the SMOM, Johanniterorden and Knights MVO of St John) recognise each other as valid successor orders, whether Catholic or Protestant (the SMOM - Catholic - and the Protestant Alliance of the Orders of St John of Jerusalem).
@@paulsmith5752 oh, interesting. I've been fascinated with them since I was 7 years old and I got a trivia book and it said they were by some metrics the smallest country on earth. Then the priest I served as an altar boy happened to know a good deal about the crusading orders in general.
A note on the *_Knights Templar_* . In Portugal, in recognition and reward for their vital services in the Reconquista, King D. Dinis, while abolishing the local chapter(s), had the members and assets be transfered to a new order created specifically for this purpose, the *_Order of Christ_* .
Excelent video.
another note. "dissolved" by King Philip IV of France who instead of paying off his debt to them, just murdered them, then stole all their assets. Catholicism is such a outstanding organization.
@@desert7868 yeah, the Templars in central/western Europe by then were more bankers than a military order; France wasn't the only kingdom that owed then a lot, so did the Vatican. What an amazing coincidence...
The same in Castilla-León. The order army was the most powerful permanent army in christian Spain, so the king simply transferred the fortresses, knigths and whealts to the order of Alcantara. It happened the same in the kingdom of Aragon, where the destination was the order of Montesa. Those knigths were vital for the Reconquista, because they were highly motivated, trained and able warriors.
@@alfonsoherguetagomez1821 didn't know that.thanks!
@@desert7868
Is it ordered by the Church or the monarch?
As a knight of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, I will compliment your brief description of our order. To this day we still defend Churches, especially of the Holy Land, where we are the main provider of funding for the parishes and Christian schools there.
God bless.
Thank you for your service.
How did you become a knight?
@@YaBoiZahk do you really think "RikkiMMA" is really a knight? 😂
Thank you for your service continuing to defend Christendom and deliver souls to the Kingdom of Heaven!
Hi brother, me as well! Which Lieutenancy/ Magisterial Delegation are you from? I'm from the Magisterial Delegation in New Zealand
clicked randomly not even paying attention to the channel maker. Good job, sir! I definitely was surprised when I looked down after finishing the video and saw that you are apparently still a newer channel. With production quality like this, I opine that, growth will coming to the channel a lot! Even only one random viewer, I personally greatly appreciate attention to production quality no matter how large or small the video maker!
Livonian brothers of the sword conquered Estonia and Lativa, later merged with Teutonic Order after being defeated in the battle of Saule, with its majority of the German knights were killed
Not exactly, part of Estonia has been conquered of King of Denmark.
I'm pretty sure the Hospitalers are still operating.
Most of them are In one way or another.
Most are charities now.
@@loserinasuit7880 Be great if they were part-military and healed/supported the poor while being not a pushover.
The catholic Church has been emasculated.
@@NPC-bs3pm Eat shit prot, where's your army?
@@loserinasuit7880wdym most i dont think we still have knights crusading 😂
I truly enjoyed the info on the different factions of crusaders!!
There is something so valiant about The Order of St. Lazarus - a band of noble men, many of whom were gravely ill who fought with courage to protect and care for others.
This is great. Thanks for making such a succinct and well-presented video. Definitely got a new subscriber from it.
This is a really good video - I hope you continue to produce material! I'll be happy to subscribe and follow your development. Good luck!
Excellent video. We shall watch your career with great interest
Hahahha, love the Star Wars reference :D
he needs to be truthful and exact to very important topics like this one. when it comes to vocabulary.
Very interesting, glad youtube recommended this. Seems like this video blew, keep the good work!
Love the video but I would looooove to see you do a longer deep dive on knights, I'm all about listening to long videos while gaming and such :)
Very good video, straight to the point, information is expressed in a way to where it doesn't sound like a lecture and instead a fun video I want to watch.
Great Video, I was really happy to see lesser known crusader orders👏👏😃
Superb video! Very clear, concise and informative overview. Glad to have found your channel; please consider making one of the various Christian denominations? 🙂
thanks bro this is very helpful and informative
I enjoyed this. Ty for the Educational experience look forward to hearing more.
2:39 So that is the reason why the emblem of the Medical corps of the Spanish armed forces is precisely the cross of the Knights Hospitaller.
It is also the sign for the australian civil service, St John’s Ambulance
This is PERFECTION. I need CZcams recommend me more vids like this.
I had no idea there were a number of crusader orders in Spain. Fascinating. Thank you.
thanks for the vid Based Plato. sick channel, keep it up
Love these videos! Never knew there were sooo many Military Orders during the Crusades! As an avid DM for D&D games, these videos are genuinely inspiring! Thank you!
I enjoyed your video and appreciate the effort you put in making it , so I subscribed as a thank you . 🤘🤖🤘
Good presentation - well done! Thanks!
Brilliant video, earned yourself a sub
clicked in the video, very good production. Going to subscribe to be able to say "i was here before 10k subscribers"
thank you for your video, first time I see the full list of the crusader orders, and I think the most successful were the Spanish crusaders since the reconquest was a total success and the Islamic forces never tried to come back
There exists a cavalry regiment in the Spanish Army named after and with all the historical bagage of the Order of Alcántara. It was given Spain’s highest military decoration, known as Cruz Laureada de San Fernando, or Laureate Cross of Saint Ferdinand, for actions that took place on the Spanish invasion of Morroco in 1921.
Your 169th subscriber
Thank you kindly
Interesting & informative
This was really good!
You should do a video on Catholic monastic orders.
Thats a great idea!
Agreed! There are so many of them!
Cistercians, Benedictines, Dominicans and lots of others!
@@gaius_enceladus Cathusians👌
@TheBasedPlato wait I just had a thought
Does that mean ur gonna make a video about the or no
And if so I totally trademarked that idea
Toooootttttaaaaallllllyyyyyy
@@DanielD-no1gp With your blessing, I shall..... maybe ;D
Great vid thank you 🙏 & a new sub 👍
loved this video
good video deserves more views
Awesome, ive seen these symbols but never fully understood them. Thank you❤
I never knew there was so many Orders in the Crusades! Excellent video! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My primary school in Sompting, E Sussex, UK, had 4 football teams that us students were divided into, for PE. The teams were called Johnson, Hospitallers, Peverall, and Templars, (I am 58 now, so it is possible I am recalling the names not with complete accuracy). There was/is a church about 1 mile from the school that did belong to the actual Templars for a period of time.
we need to bring back the crusader knights
love it thank you
Really appreciate the effort you went too in highlighting these orders and History. I would mention though that understanding these orders and dissolution's is far more complex than first appears. A lot of these orders still exist to day or are revered in other similar organisations. For example the Templars actually continued to exist in Portugal, Eire & Scotland (for a while - before they became parts of other holy orders). The Order of Hospitallers - Now the Order of St John (Charitable ambulance service) and Knights of Malta still exist today, they even have a museum in Ldn worth visiting if you make it to the city. Additionally the Masons still have a sect for the Order of Acre - (Order of /Knights of St Thomas Becket')
Also a lot of these orders have somewhat changed hands through the turmoil of the reformation, its an interesting history and worth while spending some time to look at. I would suggest you stay away from the Neuvo formations though, they are odd and have nothing to do with the actual ancestry and heritage of the actual orders themselves.
Brilliant thank you
Sounds like Warhammer 40k Chapters to me
Maybe they are
Other way around...
Where do you think Games Workshop came up with it?
@@SpyderSuasponte some war gamer accidentally stumbled over a history book?
@@st0ox not accidentally, most sci fi nerds are academically inclined, for the type of nerd you would need to be to create warhammer 40k, they are also probably, war history nerds too.
Thank you so much for this 14 holy minutes. ❤
No Livonian brothers of the sword?
One of my favorites too *sad crusader noises*
The name Calatrava survives today in a type of watch by Patek-Phillipe.
This video deserves a sub and like
just what i needed, cause generally i can only remember like 4 most of the time
Could you go into more detail about the individual orders? Perhaps their structure, finances, training/how you became one, do any still exist and if so how are they different if they are? I found this really interesting, thanks.
The Knights Hospitaller still exist, they split off into different groups called Orders based on their geographic location. The most important one is the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and weirdly enough, it's current Prince and Grand Master (leader) is actually a Canadian lawyer. Regardless, the Knights Hospitaller mainly focuses on charity now days.
I am glad that other orders are talked about. Seems that the only knights that most people know are the Hospitalers, the Templers, and the Teutonics.
nice one here. I missed the order of the sword brethren, also a most germanic military order engaged in the northern crusade active in parts of todays lithuania. The order fell rival with it's former patron, the king of denmark. After their decline the remnants joined ranks with the teutonic order which then governed the land before owned by the sword brethren
Could you provide sources for the artwork and images you used as depictions of various templars, such as the non-combatant templar brother? I love the artwork and would love to utilize it myself for my own projects.
I remember that the belts of the Spanish Army uniforms had an eagle with the cross of Santiago in the center. I believe that the shield and the cross are still valid as emblems of the Spanish army
Could there be vid. on Knight Hospitallers in more detail?
Excellent video, but I'm surprised that Philip IV's role in the downfall of the Knights Templar isn't mentioned.
The holy CZcams Algorithm hath brought me here. You may now bask in the sheer magnificence of my very presence. Also, nice video man.
One of the sites held by The Order of Saint Lazarus was at Burton Lazars in Leicestershire. The leprosy hospital was opened i the 12th century and the vilkag3e of Burton got the word Lazar appended to its name.
When the writer of a series dies and years later people are making fanfiction from fanfiction
Thanks for the info. Do any of these orders currently exist in the US?
Of course not mate.
😎AWESOME AWESOME VID😎
GREAT SHOW I ONLY KNEW ABOUT KNIGHTS TEMPLAR VERY INFORMATIVE
the Iberian peninsula was the actual success story of the crusades, not the Holy Land. the two primary Iberian Christian kingdoms that emerged out of the Reconquista and the global maritime empires they created were really an extension of the crusades. in particular the Portuguese, as they then went on the offensive and took the crusading and fighting spirit head on into North Africa and the rest of the Islamic world outside the peninsula. from the inception of their Reconquista in 868 AD, to their final withdrawal from Morocco in 1769, the Portuguese and their empire battled Islam for 901 years. correct me if i'm wrong, but i can't think of any other European kingdom/ nation who battled Islam longer.
Great video. When talking about the Teutonic Knights, you should have mentioned the Livonian Sword Brothers as well (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livonian_Brothers_of_the_Sword)
knights templar gets immediately reminded of assassins' creed
Interesting ty
One of the most informative video I found on the internet
Don’t forget the Knights of Columbus, an organization that helps out with Church fish fries during Lent.
Every Order formed in Spain during the Reconquista still exists, the only thing that changed is that after the Reconquista, the King of Spain Fernando the II of Aragon, known as the Catholic King, was appointed as the Grand Master of every order. That tradition persists nowadays, being the Grand Master of every order our king Felipe VI of Spain.
The Hospitallers were actually founded in 1070 in Akkon, before the Crusades. They originally were about providing for the sick but later imitated the example of the Templars and became knights as well.
Traditional Catholic here. Loved the video! I just went to a Renaissance fair dressed as a canon regular of the Holy Sepulcher. Shame that they died out in the 1800s. Amazing to see them mentioned here
Proud of our Catholic History
Bro that first order goes sooo hard I started cry for some reason
i love the background halo music. haha i know i know it’s not halo music. but it is!😅
When halo 1 was released the sales of gregorian chant music went up like 600%
The German Order/Teutonic Order is still active. Why no mention of the Knights of the Military Order of the Red Cross and Red Star? Another Crusader Order based in Praha.
My ancestor was actually a Grandmaster in the Order of Christ, a sort of offshoot Knights Templar who kept going. He was before Henry the Navigators time, and his son was a crewman and friend to the Prince who himself became Grandmaster. Order of Christ still exists as a recognition of outstanding state service to Portugal. Its sort of the Portuguese Medal of Honor.
I love how the knights hospitallet are still around and are basically the smallest country in the world
MALTESE VS OTTOMANS THE EPIC BATTLE
Interesting, 😎 cool video
Christ is risen!
Alleluia
Did now know I needed to know this, but now I know
The Knights Hospitaller is basically still a big Order today called Johanniter.
The Knights Templar did not end, the few who managed to escape the executions were protected by King Denis I of Portugal and became the Order of Christ, which centuries later played an important role on the explorations and discovery of the Americas
Imagine AR-15 Knights in 2024
Would be epic lol
Do not. Modern warfare is economical. That is why specific people these days are so successful forcing their nonsense on us...
i enjoyed the breakdown and precision. However, you failed to include the Order of Christ of Portugal ( from former Knights templar organization and members in Portugal after the order issued by French king and Pope)
I have made a part 2 to this, check it out they are there.
Fun fact: To this day medical clinics in Sweden are called "Lasarett"- this is probably from the knight order of Lazarus mentioned in the vid.
Divine Love
Funny, I actually work and live close to Dobrzyń, but I have never heard of Brothers of Dobrzyń. I guess we learn something every day ;)
what happend with the Orden de Cristo from portugal 😮????
"Nothing is true; everything is permitted."
The hospitilars are still active in Malta.
I keep seeing things suggesting that the Santiago was the knight templer in well hiding and re name.
You missed the fact that many of the knights of St Lazarus were inflicted with leprosy. Most of those knights came out of other orders. But if leprosy was discovered they were transferred to Lazarus order. Their green cross instilled fear towards their enemies. They knew the knights fought till the end cause they had nothing to lose and also the fear of being infected with leprosy had a psychological impact.
I missed the Order of Montesa. Knight order established on the Crown of Aragon.
The Templars and Hospitallers took part in the Battle of Mohi 11 April 1241 against the Mongols.
