Ladies and Gents - as requested, I put all five parts of Episode X into one long video. Can't believe this came out to 1 hour and 45 minutes! The next episode has nearly been full researched and its going to be a long one as well. Hoping to drop the podcast (audio only) in late Sept and have the videos out thereafter. Thanks for bearing with me - I know the wait is long, but I want to make sure that the videos I make are the best I can possibly make. All the best in the mean time - and as always: Thank you for watching, sharing, commenting, and making this channel a community!

Will the next episode be when King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella will finish the final blow to the last Islamic stronghold in Spain at Granada in 1492?

You are a true fighter in this sense, you bring light to those kids and present them history in interesting, quite anthropological (!) and in fascinating way combining Total War game and comments that surely loosen the audience, even if I, as part of your educated but still curious audience don't like anachronism, but in your case I can finally see the point behind it: to make it more alive for those who just came to find it interesting.

[@FlashPointHx]

Thank you! Hapsburgs and Ottomans were the superpowers of their time. Would make an interesting narrative. First let me get up to the Aztec and Inca =)

[@renesarabia6442]

@@FlashPointHx Yes please. I would also like to get to know more about Spanish campaigns among the Aztecs and Incans. Just some caveats though. Spaniards actually used Aztecs and Incans in their wars with Muslims in Southeast Asia. Take for example the conqueror of Muslim Manila, Juan de Salcedo was born in Mexico and had a romance with Princess Kandarapa of Tondo who was Buddhist. There were also scores of Mexican-Mollucan hybrids who settled in the Sultanates of Ternate and Tidor while it was under Spanish occupation before they retreated to the Philippines... Source: www.academia.edu/20365981/Transpacific_Mestizo_Religion_and_Caste_in_the_Worlds_of_a_Moluccan_Prisoner_of_the_Mexican_Inquisition There was even a Ternatean Sultan who was captured by the Spanish and deported to Manila where he lived as a Christian. Source: Zamboangueño Chavacano: Philippine Spanish Creole or Filipinized Spanish Creole? By Tyron Judes D. Casumpang. Conquistador Sebastian Corcuera former governor of Panama used Incans and Bolivians as well as troops all across Peru to wage war against Sultan Kudarat of Maguindanao... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebasti%C3%A1n_Hurtado_de_Corcuera There was another unknown front in the Spanish-Turkish Wars that were not just in the Mediterranean, there was a front here in Southeast Asia. The Sultanate of Aceh submitted itself as a vassal and territory of the Ottoman Caliphate and thus went head to head against the Iberian Union... From Wikipedia... The racial make-up of the Christian side was diverse since it were usually made up of Mestizos, Mulattoes and Native Americans (Aztecs, Mayans and Incans) who were gathered and sent from Mexico and were led by Spanish officers who had worked together with native Filipinos in military campaigns across the Southeast Asia. The Muslim side though was also equally racially diverse. In addition to the native Malay warriors, the Ottomans had repeatedly sent military expeditions to nearby Aceh. The expeditions were composed mainly of Turks, Egyptians, Swahilis, Somalis, Sindhis, Gujaratis and Malabars.[10] These expeditionary forces had also spread to other nearby Sultanates such as Brunei and had taught local mujahideen new fighting tactics and techniques on how to forge cannons. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castilian_War I think the Philippines scenario would be the only recorded instances wherein Aztec Eagle Warriors clashed with Ottoman Jannisaries never mind that the Cagayan Battles where the only cases wherein Samurais encountered Conquistadors. But do focus on Mexico and the Incans more, their histories are understudied. And although ours is even more understudied than theirs, they should have chronological priority however.

[@renesarabia6442]

@@FlashPointHx Also the next generation of Reconquista can focus on Spain helping the Reconquista of the nations allied under it. Hungary for example was invaded by the Ottomans and what was left of Hungary became "Royal Hungary" and was given to the Hapsburgs and they reconquered Hungary from the Ottomans. Tondo in the Philippines for example was reduced by th Bruneians but when To do allied under Spain, they reconquered their Philippine territories.

Excellent. Thank you.

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@blablaom7280]

i am totally amazed. your second full episode is as excellent or even better than the first. all the details are so well executed that for a moment i suspected it was done by a sort of "hollywood behind the scene company", :) super interesting (and the subject is not an easy one). congratulation!!!! p.s. if i may ask ,which sofware do you use to reach such a professionnal level? big hug from Santiago de C.

[@FlashPointHx]

Hello! I want to thank you for the lovely comments! I’m so happy that you liked these two full episodes! My wife and I have always wanted to travel the Camino and arrive at your city. I’m a Mac person so I used a program called Apple Motion to create the animations and then I compiled them together using iMovie. Take care and all the best!

[@anthonyekanem1340]

This is incredible

[@FlashPointHx]

Thank you!

Siete partidas was also based on Justinian´s codex (Roman [byzantine era] Emperor), and both Alphonso X and Justinian are in the American house of representatives as great lawmakers. Impressive.

[@FlashPointHx]

I know right? When your work is talk about about 1500 and 800 years later (respectively) that is a major contribution

Muito bom trabalho

[@ToneWoN]

So smooth.

[@FlashPointHx]

Thanks!

[@CPalanysamy]

Amazing series, thank you. Seems like game of thrones... actually better than game of thrones.

[@FlashPointHx]

I don't disagree with you. The political intrigue is intense

[@1112viggo]

I did not see any dragons or genitals throughout the whole thing so no, it was nothing like game of thrones at all.

[@juanperez1049]

can't wait for the next video, this is better than game of thrones! very well explained also!

[@FlashPointHx]

Thanks! Working on it now =)

[@wilhelmhesse1348]

Great work this series is...please do an entire series also of the Mongols..

[@FlashPointHx]

Would love to - but my friends over at kings and generals have already beaten me to it.

[@wilhelmhesse1348]

@@FlashPointHx I have seen some of their "Mongols" episodes which is also a good series but your version if you did it would definitely also be more than worth watching, the step by step order of events and how they all end up being connected as you repeat them in other related videos I find leave a long lasting impression. Your narration mixed with humour, philosophical quotes and figures is also different and has a feel like you are telling it like you were actually there. If not the Mongols what else..the Huns before them, Ottomans, entire history of ancient Egypt, Islamic conquest of Asia, Indian and Hindu civilization and its impact on the East, the Vikings, the Slave trade and African history? Well lots to think of I guess..

[@FlashPointHx]

@@wilhelmhesse1348 let me see if I have the bandwidth to get into the mongols after this is all said and done

[@ungoyone]

@@FlashPointHx I've seen the K&G Mongol series as well. I think it's a good idea for people from all over the world to do projects of the same subject so us learning can use each contrast to better help retain the info... among other reasons. If you do get into the Mongol era, I'd say not to borrow from K&G so your work would stand on it's own. I doubt it would be a conflict of interest since whoever watches one will watch the other. Everyone wins!

[@Czar_B]

Using rule of acquistion in medieval video is excelent! Well done sir

[@FlashPointHx]

Thanks! I love squeezing those sci fi refs in

[@Czar_B]

@@FlashPointHx thx btw for these excelent videos. I hope you will touch upon the dutch vs spainish war in the future.

amazing work bro

Thank you! Cheers!

[@misterangel8486]

My God. This is the way to make a fascinating history lesson. My respect for your work. Watched it with pleasure. 👏👏👏👌👌👌 Ps: the use of the ferengi rules of acquisition made me cry from laughter 😂😎👍

[@FlashPointHx]

Ha! I'm so glad that you appreciate that Easter egg I put in there. Love Star Trek. Happy that you liked the video as well!

[@misterangel8486]

@@FlashPointHx stroke of genius that use of star trek in a history setting to give it context. Appreciated 👍🌟

[@bobmartin9742]

I cannot wait for the next video

[@tommonk7651]

Another excellent set of historical videos! I have one quibble toward the end. It was mentioned that Castillian became the foundation of what today is considered the Spanish language. It was then mentioned that Italy followed suit. While that is true in general, the Florentine dialect of Dante did not become the national language of Italy probably until the invention of the television, when a common language was necessary to communicate with the people. Italy was made up of many city-state kingdoms with probably dozens of dialects; it did not become a nation until around the 1870s, and the many dialects persisted until the 1950s or 1960s. I think that is accurate. So, while Castillian became the basis for Spanish, it took hold long before a common tongue in Italy.

[@FlashPointHx]

what I meant was that Alphonso X championed the idea of creating a secular language over Latin.

[@danielcarroll6388]

Great videos I enjoy watching them all but when u going to put out the last phase of the reconquista with isebella and Ferdinand I see u doing the fall Constantinople and those r dope to but don’t forget to finish this series out like Punic wars and all ur other series... ima big fan though keep these videos coming u have one of the top history channels on KZbin if not the best

[@FlashPointHx]

I couldn't possibly forget. I have a ton of books with a bunch of annotations just waiting to be put to video.
