🚩 Battle of Civitate proved to be a turning point in the fortunes of the Normans in Italy, who were able to win a victory despite their differences even among themselves, and solidifying their legitimacy in the process. Not only that, it was the first major victory for Robert Guiscard, who would eventually rise to prominence as the leader of the Normans in the South. In terms of its implications, the Battle of Civitate had the same long-term political ramifications as had the Battle of Hastings in England and Northern Europe, a reorientation of power and influence into a Latin-Christendom world.

Count Adalbert II von Winterthur had not only Swabian but more likely Swiss warriors from his Grafschaft (domains) in Thurgau, Aargau and Zürich which might explain that they were ferocious fighters since the Swabians themsleves from Swabi aweren't much of good soldiersas later the Swiss Swabian wars showed in which the Swiss Confederates destroyed several Swabian Knight armies.

@@revanofkorriban1505 Swabia is the homeland of the Staufer dynasty with famous emperors like Barbarossa and is full with castles of all the knights and nobles that lived there. Swabians were known for being good fighters, the Reichssturmfahne of the Emperor was held by Swabians which came with the right and honor of being the dangerous first line of a knightly cavalry attack. Also a lot of the famous 15th century Landsknechts came from Swabia. So I think their warrior spirit led to this last stand, others would have panicked and would have been slaughtered like lambs.

Very interesting enough, the decisive battle at Civitate was one part of the Norman's grand conquest of Italy. Unlike William's campaign in England a few years later, multiple rulers/conquerors played an independent role that gave the Normans the upper hand in obtaining Southern Italy. This was unplanned and disorganized, but ultimately, the conquest was complete.

@Sugondese primarily the conquest of England. While it only took Hardrada to put indirect pressure on King Harold to weaken England's forces to allow William to eventually beat them in one single battle at Hastings to completely transform England it took decades for the Normans to slowly transform Southern Italy & the Italian isles like Sicily. The Normans had to wait longer while their rivals fought amongst themselves or were besieged by the Normans after Civitate. From 999 to 1138, for the Normans in Italy to complete their conquest versus William's conquest 1050s to 1060s.

The Normans in S. Italy led by the de Hauteville brothers is one of my favorite periods in history. It's amazing how these Few Norman knights dominated the battlefields of S. Italy and Sicily with their disciplined and ferocious cavalry charges. It's told that after the Battle of Civitate the victorious Normans, much to the shock and bewilderment of Pope Leo and his Bishops, knelt before the pontiff begging Gods forgiveness. Though opportunistic strongmen and brutal warriors, these Normans were nonetheless faithful Catholics....in their own seemingly paradoxical way. Hope to see History Marche cover these events further.

yeah the most important battle, even more then Hastings(1066), Las Navas de Tolosa (1212), Lepanto (1571), The battle of Nation (1813) and more.

Unless I'm mistaken, the Swabians didn't use two handed swords, which appeared a couple centuries later. From what I can tell from a quick search, the sources do mention that they were great swordsmen who liked to fight on foot, but nothing suggests they weren't using one handed sword and shield as people did in their time. They do say their swords were longer than usual and say they could do great damage, but I don't see a mention of them being two handed, and I do expect people of the time would mention it if they were the only ones to fight with two handed swords, without shield

@@caniblmolstr4503 I might be mistaken with another battle in the same period but if I recall these Swabians were not formidable just for their discipline, experience and strength, but for a kinda prototype state-of-art armor they wore on that occasion. At first Normans tried to hit them but all the blows bounced back and seemed unstoppable. But after a while they noticed that when they rose the arm to strike the armpit was almost naked and vulnerable, so started to aim at the armpit, thrusting rather than slashing. From there the tide of battle turned in their favour and the arrive of Richard's cavalry sealed their fate.

@@sp1d3rm0nk3y33 there were some pretty ingenious innovations that made the Normans become a formidable heavy cavalry force from a heavy infantry force. 1. Couched lances - this technique was so important that its criminal how its often overlooked. It helped Normans to use longer and heavier weapons a horse. 2. Chain hauberk 3. Kite Shields Further the administration things by William Longsword helped make Normandy into a well governed unit

Another awesome video as always! I wonder if you guys have any plans or would like to do some stuff about struggle between various islamic powers. One period I'd personally like to see you guys cover is the Anarchy in Samara. I think you'd agree it's a very interesting, yet not so well known, period with many many great stories from the Tulunid rise in Egypt, to the various dynasties of Khorasan and Central Asia, to the regency of the big man, Al-Muwaffaq, himself and his efforts to keep the empire together.
