Amazing! You need to do a sequel to this that describes the life of Abd al Rahman I - who had to escape Damascus as his family was slaughtered by the Abbasids. He had to run for his life. He swam across the Euphrates, crossed Africa, took refugee with the Berbers, and escaped all the way to Spain to establish the Umayyad Emirate.

[@azizbey4334]

Three of his brothers died during the escape. The youngest was just 14 when he got killed. Two of his nephews even rebelled against him after he managed to establish the umayuad emirate. Leaving him no choice but to execute them.

@@lolasdm6959 If you're talking about Chaeronea, the cavalry which was led by a young Alexander, didn't charge head on into the enemy. He instead let the infantry engage then exploited a gap that formed and charged with the cavalry.

Better to hold them in reserve for the critical moment or use them to engage against opposing cavalry.

@@dh3824 Yeah and he still had a contegent of calvarymen engaging the hoplites from the front which allowed him to exploit the gap. No one just yolo charges head on into enemy infantry with calvary without purpose, I don't know why you would imagine anyone being that simple to begin with. Calvary can have many roles, and harrasing the enemy lines before infantry engages is pretty standard practice. I am addressing a misconception that many people have, that calvary vs spears work in the same way irl as they do in total war games.

The Umayyads charging their cavalry straight into spearmen from the front? Wasn't this strategy demonstrated to be a bad idea since the bronze age? I know it's easy to criticize people but people from the past but honestly, since when has that ever worked?

[@MDP1702]

It mostly worked during medieval time with charging heavy cavalry into the enermy breaking them. The shock value was most important. If the enemies didn't break and routed, the cavalry didn't really have an advantage, but if the line broke under the charge, as often happened with a heavy cavalry charge in (european) medieval times, you would limit your own casualties by a lot and have the chance to destroy your enemy nearly completely. Considering this and Marwan's trust in his great cavalry advantage, a frontal cavalry charge isn't that weird. What is weird is that it didn't immediately got supported by infantry following the charge and that no cavalry was kept back to protect the flanks or outflank the enemy. Honestly this actually should have been an "easy" battle to win if the accounts of numbers we have now are correct. The Umayyad infantry didn't even engage before fleeing.

[@theblackswordsman9951]

Depends on the spearmen. Effective long pikes and halberds weren't in wide use as anti-cavalry yet especially not in the Islamic world at this point. Phalanx units had been replaced by mass cavalry and mixed infantry for a long time. A cavalry charge of that size could ruin an army from the fear alone. He said they had to train to counter this effectively. Without that training i doubt they would have lasted the initial charge.

[@wolfgangkranek376]

But, but... it did work in Lord of the Rings. ^^

[@resileaf9501]

Those ain't your lightly armored cavalrymen whose job is to harass skirmishers. Those are heavily armored cataphracts, the tanks of the antiquity/medieval period, with the horses armored so heavily that most spears cannot easily pierce their shell. The sheer weight hitting the receiving troops is usually more than enough to completely break unit cohesion and force a rout as everyone panics from the horses in their midst.

Great video, your maps are a masterpiece

[@ReaperCH90]

I'm addicted to all these well made, well reasearched history videos on youtube and it is the best addiction I can imagine. Sadly I can't support all of you without going bancrupt, because there are so many of you doing such great content, and everybody has a different focus. This goes out to all of you doing this content and supporting these content creators: Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart, you reignited my love for history which suffered during my years of depression.

[@HistoryMarche]

Thank you for the kind words. It's totally fine if you can't donate on Patreon. I simple like, subscribe, clicking the bell button, and maybe turning off ad block would help the channel.

[@ReaperCH90]

@@HistoryMarche my adblock is always off on youtube, it's the least i can do and funny to see what google thinks i might be interested in. After watching and reading more about islam, I now get ads to donate money to build a mosque somewhere in the usa. ;)

Ummayads and Abbasids of the same tribe (Quraysh), which is the same tribe to which the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, belonged .. both of whom used the name of the Prophet Muhammad and their affiliation to Quraysh to remain in the authority ..

Abbasids are from descendants of Abbas R A . uncle of Muhammad pbuh.

Also Fatimid Caliphs were Alids from House of Ali. All Muslim Caliphs with exception of House of Uthman or Osman(Ottoman Turks), were Qureshis.
