First Crusade: Battle of Dorylaeum 1097 AD

[@cesimcan9041]

"It's worth noting, that both sides were surprised by the other's combat potential." Indeed they are. They presented a traditional, centuries old steppe warfare like Scythians and Huns did before them. Its been reported that the Turkish Horse Archers felt like wtf when their composite bow did much less damage to these new enemies. So much so they hesitated about where to aim to kill these men of iron. I watched this video before but did it again because of its detailed and amazing narrative, great job BazBattles!

[@turalf.9039]

@@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014 East have always been superior society in everything including warfare till 18th century. They have developed much better technology, war tactics, generals etc. That's why Eastern history is a lot richer than Western. Amount of proper battles between strong armies, amount of dynasties, empires, religious sects, games for thrones women being major figure etc. are considerably higher. And First crusade would've surely failed if Seljuq Empire wasn't in disintegration period after death of Malik Shah. Remember Fatimids were uncapable state which was ruled through an ideology and couldn't hold any half decent campaign against Seljuqs on the battlefield.

[@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014]

@@turalf.9039 well and by this logic, Byzantium would had not fallen without inside instability neither, do you even know that the battle of manzikert is not the direct consequence? Most of the troops didn't even fought, and there was a dynastic crisis, which led anatolia open to conquest, with barely no opposition. In the same way the Crusaders (first crusade) were able to advance quickly because the seljuk barons helped crusaders against their own kin, they knew if they regrouped , the neighbor would attack them while they go on campaign

[@colingravon9810]

@@turalf.9039 The history of the East is richer? I think you're mistaken, but I can't be sure because I don't know what you qualify as the East or as richer. When looking at what people consider to be the East it's only like 30 countries. Not only that, but a lot of their history has been obliterated over time; maybe a lot more is lost. If you're counting lost history as part of the richer history, I think pre-17 century North/South American history might also has a lot as well. Still, I just don't see how anything can even come close to matching Mediterranean history. They were exceptional record keepers.

Superficial historical background of First Crusade, good description of battle

[@aaronpaul9188]

Regarding the actual situation in the holy land. While its true that jerusalem fell almost 400 years earlier, its also important to know that islam is not a homogeneous organization. Shi'a muslims of the fatimid dynasty were constantly at war with sunni Seljik turks, who took and retook jerusalem from each other several times, creating enormous instability in the land. The Fatimid Caliph ordered the destruction of all churches in jerusalem at some point in the 11th century. Around the same time, that same caliph also banned the celebration of easter, and the use of wine. Raids on christians as well as muslims from the warfare were commonplace. Christian pilgrims were often attacked on the roads. The statement that I hear often that life was all peachy for all religious minorities in the levant prior to the first crusade is false. Its an attempt to push islam as a wonderful religion while Catholicism as aggressors. The truth is alot more complicated than that. Sure there were a variety of factors, both political and religious behind the crusades. But defending christians and their ability to visit the holiest sites are most certainly a major factor and not one to be dismissed offhand.

[@ardaunaltay8763]

They have so much of their platform these days based around the stupidity of the Muslim immigration, the terrible nature of Islam, etc... And then simultaneously agree with them whenever it deals with Jews or Israel really. Strange to see Islam and the alt-right become the best of bedfellows.

[@MrFloppyXXX]

The statement about coexisting religions is a false one. Non muslims had to pay protection money to be able to stay christian or jewish. They had to wear indications of their religion so they were publicly displayed as lesser than a muslim. Enter the yellow star. Non muslims were bullied and abused. Pilgrims often attacked and killed on the roads. The crusades were a direct response on muslim behaviour. How dare you speak of christian atrocities while these were nothing compared by what the muslims had done and were still doing.

There are many more and much worse cases. __Rhazes (865-925) __ Muhammad ibn Zakariyā Rāzī or Rhazes was a medical pioneer from Baghdad who lived between 860 and 932 AD. He was responsible for introducing western teachings, rational thought and the works of Hippocrates and Galen to the Arabic world. One of his books, Continens Liber, was a compendium of everything known about medicine. The book made him famous, but offended a Muslim priest who ordered the doctor to be beaten over the head with his own manuscript, which caused him to go blind, preventing him from future practice. __Michael Servetus (1511-1553) __ Servetus was a Spanish physician credited with discovering pulmonary circulation. He wrote a book, which outlined his discovery along with his ideas about reforming Christianity - it was deemed to be heretical. He escaped from Spain and the Catholic Inquisition but came up against the Protestant Inquisition in Switzerland, who held him in equal disregard. Under orders from John Calvin, Servetus was arrested, tortured and burned at the stake on the shores of Lake Geneva - copies of his book were accompanied for good measure. Galileo (1564-1642) The Italian astronomer and physicist Galileo Galilei was trialled and convicted in 1633 for publishing his evidence that supported the Copernican theory that the Earth revolves around the Sun. His research was instantly criticized by the Catholic Church for going against the established scripture that places Earth and not the Sun at the center of the universe. Galileo was found "vehemently suspect of heresy" for his heliocentric views and was required to "abjure, curse and detest" his opinions. He was sentenced to house arrest, where he remained for the rest of his life and his offending texts were banned.

The three major religions existed with “no major friction between them” just 400 years of constant warfare....

[@Hope9151]

Yeah, but that was all on the level, political stuff. The level of infighting within polities of each religious group (when such polities existed) was usually equivalent or greater in the time period being described.

[@jackduncan5311]

Hope915 There was major friction at every level of society. All three of these religions identities are premised on the others being wrong. All three believed they were a chosen people

[@jackduncan5311]

Hope915 I would advise you against revisionism just because our modern goals are multicultural

Hey, I love your videos At what point did the relief forces know that the battle was taking place?

[@ulrichleukam1068]

I think they were just marching one infront of the other, with scouts and messengers exchange between the armies

[@Mrhomeless78]

Correct me if i am wrong, but wasn´t the fact that the seljuks were quiet bad to the christians on the holy land one of the reasons why the crusade was called?

[@pabloramos1022]

They were as tolerant as any invader could be, by paying a fare you could just believe whatever you wanted. The sultans knew that avoiding unrest and revolts was not gained through harsh treatment, all the locals were Christian, so it was a good idea to just let them be, but the initial conquest was rough, and Europe feared further expansion into the West. (Wich would have probably happened). So all it took was a pope to call the arms. Plus, medieval lords loved dat loot.

Important to note that Islamic control over the Palestine was no homogeneous from its conquest in the 7th century until 1099. Various Caliphates fought over it.

These crusade battles are awesome!!! Please do more!! :)

Can you do Battle of Vaslui ( One of the Biggest Victories against the Ottomans ) , next ?

Claiming that there were no "friction" in Jerusalem when islamists were in control of the city is like saying there is no "friction" between isis and Christians.

[@pabloramos1022]

Arm3nia91 Those where different times. Before the crusades, Islam was considered to be just a hieretical branch of Christianity... So just a bunch of people believing in similar stuff. The conflict arose from more political reasons, the nobles of Europe feared a change in the balance of power, since sultanated were quite the warmongers and Byzantium was a chill and diplomatic...

[@irdsqrgitro]

You're not too smart

[@drsch]

Kind of a ultra-simplistic explanation of why Europe was so enthusiastic for the Crusades. They were sick and tired of 400 years of Islamic expansion, enslavement and slaughter.

ScarFail although in the battle of manzikert the byzantines fought against seltzuk turks ,I cant deny the fact tha both seljuks and ottomans come from the same place.be more accurate my friend.
