[@ninjabreadman1993r]

It's kind of disappointing that Kings & Generals is advertising Established Titles. They don't actually give you a titleship; the best you get is the title of "Laird," which is not a legal title. To be an actual, legal Lord, you need to be nominated by Parliament and confirmed by the reigning monarch, owning a tiny piece of land doesn't actually make you a Lord. It's a vanity piece. You could just type up your own certificate and print it out and it would have the same legitimacy. I would have hoped K&G, being such a historical and fact based channel, would have checked this. They don't even have a presence in Scotland! I do urge K&G to reconsider accepting sponsorships from ET. Whilst not illegal per say, it IS a misleading company. Hell, there's an official court that oversees lordship in Scotland, and they pretty conclusively said that this isn't a real thing. You're basically paying 50 bucks (plus 30 extra if you want the printed certificate) for a non-legal tite for a piece of land you can't visit and don't really own, to be able to call yourself "Lord" which you could have done anyway since nobody is gonna challenge you if you just start signing things with "Lord" or "Lady." I just hope people will realise that this is a hell of a grift and stop spreading the misinformation that this is actually a legal loophole. It isn't. You're not a legal lord. You're paying 80 bucks for a piece of paper, and K&G, please stop encouraging people to waste their money on it.

You should make a series on the dervish state and it's campaign against the British and Italian empires push into Africa.

The dervish movement was a very interesting one, it started many years before ww1 and ended years after ww1. It was highly successful and if it wasn't for the combined efforts of the worlds largest nation (british empire) as well as the kingdom of italy and ethiopian empire, they would have likely won and united the somalis. Their only big mistake was centralizing themselves in forts, but its not their fault they didn't know of aerial bombardment's existence. Too many people think africans were weak and colonialism was easy, but many great african nations took european and native african coalitions to take down.

Just saying but I can’t wait to see the battles of Guadalete, Covadonga, Toulouse, Garonne, Tours and the siege of Narbonne and I can’t wait to see the battle of Covadonga because before the battle took place it looked like the Umayyad’s were unstoppable in their conquest of Hispania but at Covadonga king Pelagius of Asturias defeated the Umayyads but I also can’t wait to see the battle of Covadonga because it was the beginning of a conflict known as the Reconquista which would begin in the 8th century and end in the 15th century and this conflict would see the end of the Muslim rule over the modern day nation’s of Spain and Portugal and it would also see the rise of famous people on both sides of this conflict and great examples on the Christian side are El Cid and Sir James Douglas lord of Douglas Scottish knight and patriot who fought for Scottish independence in the first war of Scottish independence and Douglas was fighting in Spain because when Robert the Bruce king of Scotland was dying he asked Douglas to carry his heart to the holy land and present it at the church of the holy sepulcher as a mark of penance and he would be slain at the battle of teba and besides these two there were many others. However the Muslims would bring Almansor, and Muhammad XII of Granada aka Boabdil and many others like The Almoravids, Almohads and Marinids and these other 3 were nation’s who ruled over Morocco and who would attempt to regain hispania from the Christians and also help the forces of the caliphate of Córdoba, The Taifas, Emirate of Córdoba, and the emirate of Granada and when the Umayyads fell to the Abbasid’s the Emirate and Caliphate of Córdoba would carry on the legacy of the Umayyads as the first emir of Córdoba Abd Al Rahman the first was the paternal grandson of Caliph Hisham ibn Abd Al Malik the 10th caliph of the Umayyad caliphate.

[@themercifulguard3971]

After Tariq Ibn Ziyad's conquests, any army sent beyond to the fringes of the empire are nothing more than small raids, which explain why the sizes of the armies were so small, including Covadonga and Tours (there was another army sent to Toulouse too). Heck, even Tariq's army was tiny compared to the ones sent in other areas. The Umayyads concentrated so much on the Byzantine, Turkic, and Caucasian fronts.

[@Elsenoromniano]

The battle of Covadonga is really only important as foundational national myth, but in most contemporary Muslim sources appears as mostly as small skirmish, which makes sense, since most of the Muslim forces were busy in other places. You view of the Reconquista is also ahistorical. The Reconquista is more of a historiographical term for a long period of time than an actual conflict. There was not a single unified prolonged conflict between the Christian and Islamic kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula, there were plenty of smaller punctual conflicts between some Islamic and Christian states, as well as Christian kingdoms fighting other Christian kingdoms and Islamic states fighting other Islamic states (and in those cases, Muslims used Christiane as allies and viceversa all the time), one example of these complex relationship is the Nasrid kingdom, which was a tributary vassal of Castile, who often offered military assistance, but also sometimes also an opponent of Castile, other times it helped Muslims to come to Península to fight Christians, other times it stopped the same and even tried to conquer Ceuta from the Marinids, who reconquered it with the help of the Aragonese (a little later the Marinids also attacked the Aragonese). The same problema comes from the perception of Almoravids and Almohads trying to reconquer the Península again, while on both dinasties is impossible to deny that religious zeal drove a large part of their actions, their goals were more on the creation of unified North African/Southern Spanish states that could compete in equal standing with the Christian kings. It is also important to say that both dinasty lost their Iberian foothold because their Iberian subjects disliked them a lot and continuously revolted against them. Or the figure of El Cid, since you mention him, which fought for the Muslim Taifa of Zaragoza against the Christian Kingdom of Aragon, it really wasn't a clear cut Muslims vs Christian conflict.

خطبة الحجاج ابن يوسف الثقفي في اهل العراق: "يا أهل العراق، إن الشيطان اسْتَبْطَنَكُمْ فخالط اللحم منكم والعظم والأطراف والأعضاء، وجرى منكم مجرى الدمٍ، وأفضى إلى الأضلاع والأمخاخ، فحشا ما هناك شقاقاً واختلافاً ونفاقاً، ثم أربع فيه فعشش، وباض فيه ففرخ، واتخذتموه دليلاً تتابعونه، وقائداً تطاوعونه، ومؤمراً تستأمرونه، ألستم أصحابي بالأهواز حين سعيتم بالغدر بي فاستجمعتم عليَّ وحيث ظننتمِ أن اللّه سيخذل دينه وخلافته، وأقسم باللهّ إني لأراكم بطرفي تتسللون لِوَاذاَ منهزمين، سراعاً مفترقين، كل امرىء منكم عَلَى عنقه السيف رعباً وجبناً، ثم يوم الزاوية وما يوم الزاوية؟ بها كان فَشَلُكم وتخاذلكم، وبراءة اللّه منكم، توليكم على أكتافكم السيوف هاربين ونكوص وليكم عنكم، إذ ولّيتم كِالإبل الشَّواردِ إلى أوطانها لا يسأل الرجل عن بنيه، ولا يلوي امرؤ عَلى أخيه، حتى عضتكم السلاح، وقصفتكم الرماح، ويوم دير الجماجم، بها كانت الملاحم، والمعارك العظائم: ضرباً يزيل الهام عن مقيله ويذهل الخليل عن خليلـه فما الذي أرجوه منكم يا أهل العراق؟ أم ما الذي أتوقعه؟ ولماذا أستبقيكم. ولأي شيء أدخركم؟ أللفجرات بعد العداوات؟ أم للنزوة بعد النزوِات؟ وما الذي أراقب بكم؟ وما الذي أنتظر فيكم، إن بُعِثتم إلى ثغوركم جبنتم، وإن أمنتم أو خفتم نافقتم، لا تجزون بحسنة، ولا تشكرون نعمة. يا أهل العراق، هل استنبحكم نابح، أو استشلاكم غاو، أو استخفكم ناكث، أواستنفركم عاص إلا تابعتموه وبايعتموه، وآويتموه وكفيتموه؟!. يا أهل العراق، هل شغب شاغب أو نعب ناعب أو دبي كاذب إلا كنتم أنصاره وأشياعه؟!"

Sure the zunbils/Shahis kept Kabul, but simply saying the caliphate did not subdue Afghanistan I think is not accurate, I do hear this being propagated nowadays. I want to point out that your channel is legendary and I loved this video. I'd love to hear your response.

[@shakeelofficial6418]

Rashidun caliphate conquered majurity Afghanistan(all area from herat to balkh) and subdued kabul & kandahar. You can see👇 *(1)* Siege of Herat (652) *(2)* Battle of Bhadghis (654) *(3)* Siege of Balkh (654)

[@hotsauce153]

@@shakeelofficial6418 I was referring to the Umayyads and Abbasids here not the Rashidun.

Lord of 1 sq.ft of land for $50? So this company is making $2M+/acre off this 'venture' in the name of preserving habitat? If that isn't a grift, I don't know what is. Sorry, but I already have 40 acres of woodland for less than 8% of that cost, thanks. Here, I call myself King, gov be damned. About as useful as calling yourself a lord, eh? At least I can stand on my property without my toes crossing the property line. Fools and their $...

@@صليعليالنبي-و6غ arab nationalists are cringe i'm arab myself. They take ethnicity over religion. Funny that arab nationalism was created by Christian and jewish arabs in hope for caliphate to never rise again.

When the queen won her first battle and the Roman's returned why didn't they attack together to finish their shared enemy?

[@AtabekZingi]

Mussa ibn Nusseyr invasion of Tamazgha was brutal and bloody. Hope you will cover the Muslim expansion until the battle of "Ashraf" where Arabs were finally kicked out of North Africa.

[@AtabekZingi]

@TimboJumbo Tamazgha is the Amazigh name for the land inhabited by the Amazighs, its roughly North Africa today. The Romans named it Numidia. Hope this helps 😉

[@TazKidNoah]

I think the term early muslims conflates with the Rashidun as Umayyad&Abbasid hereditary caliphate.

[@gennadiyleyfman6920]

Oh yeah! Queen Dihya Al-Kahinah! We, Jews, believe she was a Jewish queen of the Jewish tribe!

[@gennadiyleyfman6920]

Dihya is an Amazigh woman who has nothing to do with the Jews. I am an Amazigh Berber, I am telling you.

Waiting for you covering arab invasions into India and their conquest of Sindh and their defeats by chalukya dynasty and Gujjar-pratihara dynasty.

[@maalikserebryakov]

If they were defeated then how did they conquer india for a thousand years Simple logic

[@bag6483]

They conquered which called Pakistan now your biggest enemy trust me if the Umayyad caliphs want to conquer India he will get the whole army his from Arabian peninsula but he was only focus in Byzantine empire and conquer them

[@gwynevere9184]

Isn't it time to make a video about the rise of the Qing Empire?

[@shafiahadi3565]

wtf..... there was no Afghanistan back then it was called khorasan and the name of the city zabul not zunbul

[@hmmm3210]

Gee I really wonder why the Afghans seceded from Iran. Haven't you Persian ethnofascists learnt your lesson? Or are you unhappy that a part of Balochistan, Kurdistan and ahwaz haven't seceded yet?

[@casper191985]

Is it wrong to like your videos before watching them?
