You should do a video on Skanderbeg, the Ottoman sultan feared him because he was able to make a bunch of unruly peasants beat the ottoman army, he wins battles 10,000 to 40,000, 8,000 to 100,000, converted from Orthodox to Sunni to Catholic, they called him Lord Alexander (Skanderbeg) because he was just that good of a military leader, he made a nation from almost nothing with his bare hands.

Ya that actually happened during the Crusades. When two emirs were at each others throat, one would conspire with the Crusader Kingdom. The same happened between the Crusaders themselves when one tried to get a Muslim power to support their claimant. Also During the Ottoman Portuguese war, the Venetian Merchants were rooting for the Ottomans war because they were scared that the new Portuguese trade route would knock the Venice as Europe no.1 import hub. Goes to show money and power takes precedent over religion.

I think it is the Western world that often forgets, but then you think to yourself that Muslims were in the Iberian peninsula for almost a millennia.

Just so you know the most powerful ruler of western Europe Otto ii King of the Holy Roman Empire was defeated by a Muslim raiding party led by Emir Abu'l-Qasim in southern Italy near Crotone at the Battle of Stilo; After a violent clash, a corps of German heavy cavalry destroyed the Muslim centre and pushed towards al-Qasim's guards. The emir was killed, but his troops were not shaken by the loss: they even managed to surround the German troops with a hidden cavalry reserve, slaughtering many of them. According to the historians, casualties were around 4,000. Landulf IV of Benevento, Henry I, Bishop of Augsburg, Günther, Margrave of Merseburg, the Abbot of Fulda and 19 other German counts were among them. The News of the battle sent shockwaves across western Europe across the Alps, reaching as far as Wessex in England signifying the magnitude of the defeat. And this was just a raiding party of few thousand

Well as a Tunisian, I personally encourage every Historical tyrant lovers to read more about Murad/Mourad III Bey of Tunis from 1698 to 1701, he is known as Murad Bou Bala, Bala was the turkish name of some sword(because he used to try it every morning on someone), the legend says that when he came to power after a civil war, he pulled his own uncle (with whom he had some different) out of his grave to shoot him with his musket. He invaded the deylik of Algiers (modern day Algeria) which has been annoying us since half a century beat them and sacked Constantine and them he was about to annex it (there was an ancient claim of Tunisia on both Constantine region and Tripolitania which were part of the country, in fact since Carthage to the Hafsid Dynasty (11th century-1535/1574)) but he was assassinated on the order of the Ottoman Sultan by his leftenant Ibrahim Cherif who ruled Tunisia/Ifriqiya from 1701 to 1705, then some Kulughli officer Hussein Bey Ben Ali (half Turkish half Tunisian) took the throne and established the Husseinid dynasty which ruled as Bey and "Possessor of the Tunisian Kingdom" from 1705 to 1957.

I don’t think so. The Crusades weren’t about defending Christendom. They were a byproduct of the Gregorian Reform, with the papacy affirming its power over the lay nobility. They also happened to coincide with the Byzantines’ troubles with a new threat, the Seljuk Turks, and the first crusade only succeeded because of the strife and succession chaos in the Islamic world at the time. The Franks didn’t know much about Islam, and royal power was in decline. Ot’s doubtful there would have been an organized response without ecclesiastical or royal coordination.

I’m very excited for the next episode! The Pahlavi Dynasty is very interesting to me. Mostly cause my grand father is a marine and he guarded the American embassy in Iran during the monarchy. Specifically from 1964-1968. Anyway, I like to make it clear that the Iranian Monarchs were not called Emperors or Empresses. They were more commonly known as Shahanshah or Shah for short. Shahanshah is Farsi (Persian) for King of Kings.But King of Kings is equal in rank to Emperor. King of Kings just sounds cooler in my opinion. Anyway, very excited for what ever you’re working on next.

Awesome video dude, you’re definitely filling in some gaps about interesting characters that aren’t spoken of much in modern history. I definitely think Ricimer would be an amazing topic for you to cover... man was a freakin 5th century godfather who basically had his puppet strings over everything in the late empire, seriously he basically was the nail in the coffin of the western empire

@@arawn1061 The Abbasid Revolution essentially started with the purpose of getting rid of the Umayyads, the Abbasids managed to win most of the battles including the biggest one, Battle of the Zab River, where Caliph Marwan II’s army was destroyed, he fled and was killed alongside many of his kinsmen who fought with him, others were not so easy to kill cause they weren’t on the battlefield so As-Saffah had them gathered in one place so it would be easier to kill them, for the remaining Umayyads, they were given assurances of their safety and guest right, the dinner was supposed to indicate that As-Saffah wished them no harm, in Islam if you feed or provide someone with something to drink it is regarded as bringing them under your protection and that you won’t be bearing them any ill will, famously Saladin gave cold water to King Guy of Jerusalem after the battle of Hattin and did not to Raynald de Chatillon, The King was spared whereas Raynald was not, before any dining could happen though As-Saffah broke his pledge to them and had them all executed, cruel yes, but nothing new to the Umayyads.
