In this podcast, J Stephen Roberts and Scott Amis are joined by Dr. Andrew Buck to discuss the Principality of Antioch, the Crusader state founded by Bohemond and Tancred during the First Crusade. We look at Bohemond's founding, Tancred's subsequent buildup of the principality, the disaster of the Battle of the Field of Blood, and the conquests of Saladin in the 1180's.

[@astromusic5677]

I'm a little surprised more people don't aspire to learn more about the crusader states.

[@RexOlafusVidulusMagnus]

Individual countries (who are not england) also have history worth learning.

[@highlordsilverhand1228]

Whenever I hear that chord at the beginning of a video I get chills

[@mysticnovelbro]

+Real Crusades History Ever considered making a video of the Albigensian Crusader Simon of Montfort? I know I've asked this before but he has always been a favorite of mine. Love the podcast by the way, especially since it is a longer video which I consider a tremendous bonus.

[@stevenforman3044]

Truly enjoyed watching it. :)

[@eteline_music]

An interesting, nuanced discussion on a subject that can too easily be characterised in all-too-broad terms.

[@cesareborgia6431]

Fantastic podcast. Very informative

[@mtgnoob95]

What kind of books and articles would you recommend to read on the topic?

[@user-so8kx7uj2x]

[@Primetime397]

Very interesting!

[@afsharkaghan5534]

You know whats interesting? Im Turkish from Antochia and I made a DNA Test. My Hablogroup is I1-Z61. Its a Scandinavian Hablogroup(Y-Dna) so my Grandfather was probably one of those Norman Crusaders :D.

[@mizelenious5940]

Ah Bohemond and the Guiscard....slaves to no men, subject to none of the world. Bohemond, as great and capable as he may have been, was in it to win it. I don't think the Crusade was a "spiritual" endeavour to him. He's described by everyone as absolutely stunning but there are no stories of him even being involved with a woman until his late 40s-50s, when he met Constance of France. That's how intense his drive for success and wealth was...I find this very interesting. That he waited so late to have children, when his career and the times didn't guarantee a long life.
