"Sir, I have a cunning plan" - Baldwin
-
Joscelin must have had some mad street cred for the locals to bust him out of prision
-
With each new video, I see the quality and the work well done, the channel's budget is bigger, I even see when it's time to go into battle that there are now units in light blue, dark blue or orange, can't wait for the second crusade videos to arrive on the rise of Zengi and famously the iconic Noradine.
-
So Baldwin broke his treaty with impunity, and then crushed the Seljuks using their own signature manuever. What an absolute legend! Fantastic job on this series, K&G.
-
Between Kings and Generals, Epic History, Wizards and Warriors, and History Marche, my quest for learning more on history is complete
-
Kings and Generals is doing an amazing job covering the Crusades! ⚔🔥🙌
-
Can we see a video on the society in the Latin Outremer's states like their way of life and how the states manages the various ethnicities in their domains, religion politics diplomacies and warfare and the likes
-
Wiki says one Muslim chronicler (Ibn al-athir reports) 1000 Seljuk casualties while 2 christian chroniclers(William of Tyre and Fulcher of Chartre) report 2000 casualties. Only the Armenian falls apart from others by reporting 5000 casualties? How is this the bloodiest battle in 2nd crusade when literally entire armies of Conrad III and Louis VII perished against Seljuks in 1147, 1148? This was a mere skirmish. Also it isnt even 2nd crusade, more like a prelude to it.
-
Can't wait for the Rise of Zengids 🔥🔥.
-
oh nice, an altair from assassins creed cameo!
-
How can this the bloodiest battle of the Second Crusade if the Crusade won’t begin in 22 years?
-
The amount of quality content you put out is crazy. Kudos! And I love learning about battles from antiquity to the Middle Ages. Gonna say it again, I became a Patreon supporter because I really enjoy the channel, I had no idea I would get such value for being a member. Keep up the great work! Or else! 😬
-

The best series in your channel, great video!
-
I am amazed with these detailed series!
-
Amazing video! Thanks!
-
That's GREAT, appreciate the documentary on a battle I wasn't fully up on.
-
I loved it when this video showed that image of Altair from Assassin's Creed. It seemed so fitting.
