Catastrophic Crusade against Morocco - Battle of the Three Kings, 1578 (ALL PARTS)

🚩 Sebastian, the king of the ever expanding Portuguese empire, wished to impose Christian rule over Muslim Morocco. He landed in Tangier with 23,000 troops and modern artillery. But the Moroccan forces, though not as well equipped, numbered over 50,000 men. Led by the determined Sultan Abd al-Malik, defeating the the Muslims would present the greatest challenge yet to the Portuguese overseas expansion...

I believe that it is a Moroccan thing. Similar things happened more than once in our history. When France exiled Sultan Mohammad V, everyone revolted and the guy how they "crowned" (I forgot his name) no one cared about. So France had to bring the Sultan back and that was the beginning of the end for them in Morocco. My point is that there is a spiritual bond between the leader and the people in Morocco. If the leader is in struggle the people go mad. I feel that this relationship still exist today and it is a beautiful thing.

[@ukt000]

Kholat, my tribe participated in this battle because it took place on their lands. They displayed great courage and ferocity against the enemy, which led the Sultan to take half of their horsemen and incorporate them into his army as a reward for their bravery.

The fact that morocco didn't fall to foreign rule between early 16th and 15th century is astonishing, that period knew civil wars and turmoils, and complete unstability.

[@LauftFafa]

that could be related to patriotism , there is many stories of resistance against the portuguese and attempts of a reverse reconquista so the peoples were behind one goal that is to kick the iberians out . this battle is scene as the moroccan revenge of the defeat of las navas de tolosa and it had almost same effect. it helped the morrocans virtually kick the iberian presence leaving them entrenched in enclaves that kept falling one after another. until only 2 remained

[@khaldrago911]

@@LauftFafa Very interesting. How long until the 2 enclaves are also reclaimed? 😊

@@khaldrago911 well they cant now , last time they tried they almost took both tbut the ottomans attacked from the east so the moroccans were forced to lift the sieges . they were always interupted because morocco was enemy of the ottomans aswel. morocco and spain are allied now and they are both organising the 2030 worldcup so waging war over 2 rocks isnt really productive for either side

[@amogusenjoyer]

It's also because Morocco was between the two biggest superpowers of the time. The king of Morocco at the time (the son of Mohammed Al Sheikh, Al Mansur) knew he couldn't get too close to the Ottomans and not too distant from Castille. So he made it so he can count on one side defending him if the other attacked. Very skillful diplomacy

I learned about this historic battle when I got curious about how and why Portugal was absorbed by Spain at one point and proceeded to do some research. It led me all the way to this battle, which decisively weakened the royal family and the country of Portugal, triggering succession crisis and civil wars, and ultimately allowing Spain the golden opportunity to exploit the situation and take over Portugal. On the other hand the battle strengthened the Moroccan Saadi regime which then began its, albeit brief, ascent to regional power status. Thanks a lot for bringing this pivotal battle to attention. This battle deserves to be much better known.

[@LauftFafa]

morocco will stay a regional power till the 1700s , the strongest moroccan monarch was moulay ismail ( also have Guinness world record for most kids) in his Era morocco's army was around 300k strong 150k of them were regulars following the janissary model and in that period morocco would fight spain and the ottomans successfully . that sultan even did parade once over 40.000 european war captives many of them later joined his christian guard . in his reign morocco became an attraction point to the european Renegades who didnt want to serve the ottomans but still wanted to serve a strong monarch . i believe the city of el sawira in his time period had over 10.000 danish renegades or maybe it was a different coastal city. so yeah the golden age technically should last until the 1720s then they will get a 3rd one around 1770s to 1800 (reason morocco was confident enough to be first to recognize the Usa and be also first to technically declare war on usa before the barbary wars and impose a protection tax on their ships that the americans accepted to pay after losing some 2 or 3 ships . a deal that will stay in vigor ) during the napoleonic era morocco will feel intimidated by the strength of france and this will force the country to become isolated and protective instead of seeking allies and keeping technological improvements and try to be up to date like the ottomans did . in general its a respectable history probably the longest and most glorious of all existing arab countries today.

[@verfugbarkite]

I’ve never heard about this battle, but the moment I heard the trope “the flower of (insert nation) nobility” I knew who was going to win.

[@jenniferkeates]

I do wonder why every crusader battle seems to end the same way. Heavy knights charge out, get cut off, and then the entire army gets destroyed. This is in 1578, the printing press was already common in Europe, do these nobles never read history?

[@verfugbarkite]

@@jenniferkeates I suspect by this time the commoners were starting to question the point of a knight, if it was ineffective on the battlefield. The knights probably were too eager to prove their worth.

[@amogusenjoyer]

​@@jenniferkeates well it's usually because there's a surplus of said knights, and only so much land that can be split between nobles sons... so they start coping by dreaming of getting what they deserve

The battle of Alcácer-Quibir was a devastating moment in Portugal's history, but it had significant consequences. The victory of Felipe II of Spain allowed him to become king of Portugal, beginning the period of Iberian union. With the Iberian union, the Treaty of Tordesillas was annulled, which made Brazil's territorial expansion possible.

[@LauftFafa]

and in morroco's side this last had a momentum after this battle they pushed against the ottomans then they went south to colonize mali who became a moroccan Pashalek sometimes under direct control sometimes as a vasal until the french will arrive in the 19th century . today's Azawads issue can have its routes traced to this some of them even still see the kings of morocco as the spiritual leaders of northern mali

I can see Caesar sending a part of his force to block off the enemy supply route, digging in, engaging in some random skirmishes and then eventually accepting the enemy’s surrender here without a real battle. That becomes more likely considering the Portuguese had a large army within Moroccan territory with no long-term ability to sustain themselves.

Are you speaking from the Moroccan side or the Portugese side? Cause with the seeming cavalry superiority of the Moroccans, I doubt Hannibal or Caesar's described strategy would work here.

[@muhammadhasnainkhalil7437]

Reminds of the Battle of Carrhae and the fall of Crassus. Similar tactics were used by the winning and losing sides.

[@pedroletra1940]

In Portugal, we are taught that the fate of D. Sebastião after the battle was uncertain since no body was buried and due to that, during the subsequent Iberian Union, a "prophecy" surged where on a misty night D. Sebastião would return to Portugal atop his white horse to liberate the country from Spanish rule.

HistoryMarche, there are more two parts battles to combine on video to make such as: First Battle of Tarain, 1191 AD ⚔ The First Islamic Conquest of India and Second Battle of Tarain, 1192 AD ⚔ Muhammad of Ghor Returns. Battle of Targoviste, 1462 AD Battle of Cynoscephalae, 197 BC I hope you can voice and narrate the battle of Targoviste from the old narrator that would be awesome to see your next video. And I hope you narrate the first part of How did Rome Conquer Italy? the Battle of Cynoschephalae, 197 BC by Knowledgia when you combine the second part of the video.

[@masterplokoon8803]

The tragic thing about King Sebastian is that he had been a good king before this dumb disastrous campaign. He reformed thr army to match the Spanish tercios, built hospitals for the poor, made some good reforms and genuinely cared about the well being of the average person . There was genuine hope that he would save Portugal's future, sadly he had also been raised by Jesuit priests who put bad ideas about crusading in his head and doomed him and his nation. Even though Portugal reclaimed its independence part of the country's soul died in Alcacer Quibir never to be recovered.

[@florazul-1191]

True, Sebastian's story is tragic because, despite the flaws he had, he also displayed virtues such as the love for his kingdom, his wish to be a great king and his determination that inspired and gave hope to the people. I believe he would had been a good monarch if not for this battle. As you stated, many of the laws and reforms during his reign had the well being of the people in mind. He was much beloved by the folk, who called him "the desired king" and his death was indeed "the blow" for Portugal's spirit, no doubt.

[@nanderwinthant1655]

Minor tactical error! Sebastian's best strategy here was to form a cohesive line as the terrain provides difficult flanking moves.His better trained and equipped infantry could theorectically hold off many waves.Victory still seems impossible so a stalemate was the only option he should take.

Just years before, Morocco has stopped the Ottoman expansion in North Africa, and years after Morocco conquered the Songai empire and controlled west Africa.

[@Spartan_Disiplin]

The Ottomans captured Morocco twice(1554,1576) and installed their own vassal rulers on the throne. Morocco did not win any wars against the Ottomans and therefore did not hinder its expansion.

@@Spartan_Disiplin give me the names of these vassals you are talking about!

[@wedgeantillies66]

Feel like Sebastian tried to go a bridge too far here. As had he stayed near the coast and besieged the remaining none held Portuguese cities on the coast, would remain close to supply line and reinforcements and make enemy come to him. By plunging recklessly into interior in pursuit of decisive battle, gives enemy advantage, which the morrocans used expertly to gather a huge army and prepare tactics to blunt the effectiveness of the enemy’s main battle winning weapons.

[@schoolofgrowthhacking]

Imagine you're a young man and you just became king of a country, only to go off to invade your neighbour and lose your first battle and die. Strategically and tactically, Sebastian was a terrible commander who made every mistake in the book.
