Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa (1212) DOCUMENTARY

nurrrik & phoenix what do you think, muslim conquests in europe was for religion, i mean muslims main goal was to preach islam in europe or they just wanted to conquer lands to become great as all great empires in history became great by conquering other lands?

[@Dylan-pr6fu]

FAHIM TAJWAR It was pretty much for conquest and conquest alone, just like Mohammed the "peaceful prophet" who conquered Christian lands and was a glorified pedophile.

[@fahimtajwar1989]

Dylan - no one called him pedophil before the nineteenth century, even his real enemies at his time did not mock him for that. Its like justin beiber is a glorified bastard, but no one today mocks him for that, no one today mocks the celebs for their adultery and fornications and homosexuality. maybe hundreds of years after if people get conservative they will mock them, just like thousands of years after prophet you love to call him as pedophil.

[@KingsandGenerals]

I am an atheist, so, of course, what I think will be insulting for you. Religion is a good excuse to attack and invade, and it always has been this way. The idea that Arab/Berber lords were different just because they belonged to a particular religion is illogical. People invade and conquer. They did it before religions fully formed, and they did that even after they embraced atheism. That needs to stop and change.

[@fahimtajwar1989]

nurrrik & phoenix it is really insulting for me, because you think it will be insulting for me. But bro we cool i dont want to argue unless you want to, i love history too. And i also like to argue. People fight for religion like muslims. People fight despite being atheists like communist countries like north korea, russia, poi pot stalin you know what i mean. What i wanted to know is what you think? I think those were not fought for religion. If they were fought for religion they wouldnt fight amongst each other. The only religious war that any country is always willing to fight is Israel. If you cant make the oldest religious people become completely atheist you shouldn't be optimistic about anything. Since they are more advanced in science and technology you would not say anything about them that would be insulting towards them!

Sancho's maneuver was pretty much what Alexander did in gaugamela. I don't know if he intended it, but if he did, then props to him, the guy knows his military history.

[@lemonvariable72]

It's fairly likely he was atleast someone educated on Alexander. The medieval latin really admired the ancient Greeks. It's also quite likely that he wasn't thinking so grandiose at that moment and the thought was more like "hey there is a hole, fuck it boys were going in."

@@LionKing-ew9rm Spoken like somebody who's completely clueless about Medieval History. This might have been true of some obscure nobles in 700 AD, but most certainly not at any point after 1000, and especially not during the Crusader era... The period between 1000 and the the arrival of the Black Death in the 1300s was one of immense progress in Europe. An explosion of population growth fuled by rapid advances in agricultural technology, while the art and architecture of the era easily rivalled that of any other civilizations at the time. The idea that nobles didn't know how to read and didn't know about ancient Greece during the time when the great Cathedrals were being constructed (the first manmade buildings to dwarf the pyramids) is so batshit crazy and ridiculous that it's not even funny.

Millions of Muslims in the Middle East either secretly converted to Christianity or became atheists. Mostly because they are able to read the Quran and the Hadith now freely and question them on the basis of logic and morality. The apostates of Islam don't make this public, because then they would have to be executed according to Quran and Hadith: Sura 4:89 "They wish that you should reject faith as they reject faith, and then you would be equal; therefore take not to yourselves friends of them, until they emigrate in the way of God; then, if they turn their backs, take them, and slay them wherever you find them; take not to yourselves any one of them as friend or helper." (keep in mind Sura 4:65 in which ALlah commands full submission to his orders in the Quran) Sura 9:11-12 "But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then are they your brethren in religion. We detail Our revelations for a people who have knowledge. And if they break their pledges after their treaty (hath been made with you) and assail your religion, then fight the heads of disbelief - Lo! they have no binding oaths - in order that they may desist." Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 260: Narrated Ikrima: Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn 'Abbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, 'Don't punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.' " Sahih Bukhari (84:57) - [In the words of] "Allah's Apostle, 'Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'" Sahih Bukhari (89:271) - A man who embraces Islam, then reverts to Judaism is to be killed according to "the verdict of Allah and his apostle." al-Muwatta of Imam Malik (36.18.15)- "The Messenger of Allah said, "If someone changes his religion - then strike off his head." Reliance of the Traveller (Islamic Law) o8.1 - "When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed." Sura 16:101 And when We subtitute a verse in place of a verse - and Allah is most knowing of what He sends down - they say, "You, (O Muhammad), are but an inventor (of lies)." But most of them do not know.

Provocateur: Unlike in the movies, battles aren't over in five minutes, they could go an entire day. Or even longer. Soldiers didn't battle like a great big streetfight either, ideally men were getting rotated in and out of the battle. So usually they had time to ask their neighbors what was going on. But you are right in the fact that it was very hard to know what was going on other than right in your vicinity. Just the other day I was reading a medieval historian writing about how the soldiers knew absolutely everything that happened in the battle THE DAY AFTER it was over. Immediately after the battle they don't know squat other than what they saw for themselves. Great point you made. Hope I wasn't patronizing you with the explanation...on this site you could be a Professor of Military History at West Point or you could be a sixteen year old who likes Game of Thrones, so I may have overexplained.

I am saying this because in this video you name Peter II of Aragon "Pedro", which is the Spanish translation.

Yusef then sent Abu'l-Hasan 'Ali al-Hajj, but he was not successful either. In 1097, on his fourth trip to al-Andalus, Yusef sought to personally dig down and fight the armies of Alfonso VI, making his way towards the all but abandoned, yet historically important, Toledo. Such a concerted effort was meant to draw the Christian forces, including those laying siege to Valencia, into the center of Iberia. On August 15, 1097, the Almoravids delivered yet another blow to Alfonso's forces, a battle in which El Cid's son was killed. Muhammad ibn 'A'isha, Yusef's son, whom he had appointed governor of Murcia, succeeded in delivering an effective pounding to the Cid's forces at Alcira; still not capturing the city, but satisfied with the results of his campaigns, Yusef left for his court at Marrakesh, only to return two years later in a new effort to take the provinces of eastern al-Andalus. El Cid had died in the same year, 1099, and his wife Jimena had been ruling until the coming of another Almoravid campaign at the tail end of 1100, led by Yusef's trusted lieutenant Mazdali ibn Tilankan. After a seven-month siege, Alfonso and Jimena, despairing of the prospects of staving off the Almoravids, set fire to the great mosque in anger and abandoned the city. Yusef had finally conquered Valencia achieving dominance over eastern al-Andalus. He receives mention in the oldest Spanish epic Poema del Cid, also known as El Cantar del Mio Cid.

Some entrances were in zigzag going up to keep invader tired (having ramps and stairs), also interior was somethimes like that. And including big open areas for catapultes. some castles would force you to go up a bridge above the soil which would go around the castle or alf of it, soldiers would show their side until they tried to reach the gate. (easy targets, slowly moving, falling from the bridge). And the usual Hot water dropping into the entrance. and the huge hole around it (traditionally used in Castles) Well the Arabs castles have similar characteristics to other castles.

[@Termosugus]

For the record, I would like to point out some significant inaccuracies in the video: 2:25 What we know about Pelagio of Asturias points out that he was actually a Hispanic-Roman noble from a family with a very probably Asturian background. He was not basque. And the stories about Pelagio descending from a Visigothic king were written centuries later, mainly to strenghthen the position of the Castilian and Leonese monarchies and so as to lend some propagandistic support to the Kingdom of Castille - seen as the "heir" of the old Visigothic Kingdom - by validating in the eyes of the people its wars during the late stage of the muslim presence in the Iberian Peninsula. Also, the borders of the Asturian Kingdom have been drawn too shifted to the east. 4:03 During the period 824-924 a.C., Burgos (and the rest of the county of Castille) remained as a Leonese territory. It was not until the XI century when Sancho III Garcés (King of Navarre) took control of the county of Castille. 5:52 The intervention of Sancho III Garcés in the Kingdom of Leon is still an object of discussion. It is mainly meant nowadays to have been made to support the ruling of child-king Bermudo III (nephew of Sancho III). After the intervention, it was Urraca (mother-in-law of Bermudo III, sister of Sancho III) who assumed the regency of the kingdom, supported by the remaining Leonese nobles who were still loyal to them. With almost entire security, it was therefore the response of a help request based on the existing familial alliance between Urraca and Sancho, not a truly conquest. Also, Bermudo III is not related to the divison of Sancho III's domains among his sons, because he was not actually his grandson; he was son of the first wife of the previous king of Leon (Alfonso V) not a direct descendant of Sancho III. 7:00 After the battle of Sagrajas, Toledo was still held by Alfonso VI - despite he had lost the most part of his army - because the almoravid emir Yusuf ibn Tasufin returned to Africa inmediately when he heard about the dead of his son. Obviously, not such a large territory was lost by Alfonso VI - he almost did not lost any of it, actually. 7:30 The northern Leonese-Portugese border has been drawn too shifted to the north. Finally, I must say I would have liked to watch a bit more about the battle itself, the previous movements of Sancho trying to cross Sierra Morena, the castles attacked before and after the battle, how the french crusaders abandoned the allied army because Alfonso VIII denied them to slaughter the defenders of Calatrava (Spanish are not always the most intolerants, you see), the murder of Muhámmed an-Násir as a result of his complete failure, ... Talking less about the beginnings of the Kingdom of Asturias and more about the expansion of the Almohad Caliphate in the Iberian peninsule, the internal revolts, the disintegration of the Caliphate or a more detailed coment on the battle of Alarcos would have lead to make the content more relevant, too. Although I love your vids, I think you have tried to compress a too long period in just a few minutes, allocating few time for the battle itself and the related events, making this video not so consistent and compelling as others.

They pronounce all Spanish words with a very heavy English accent, but that's natural for someone who doesn't speak Spanish. Theirs is not even the worst, I remember an American speaker pronouncing "de" (in Spanish) as "dee" (in English). Generally, English or German accents sound particularly funny in Spanish, I think it is mostly the English "e" and the English or German "r" (both sound horrible in Spanish, but the German r particularly). Speakers of most other European languages (sans French) can usually roll the "r", so their accents don't sound as funny in Spanish.

Islam in Spain arrived on interracial marriages and conversion of natives, while the other side that was racist calls for purification on blood and the initiation of confession torture sessions. if you want to know what those confession torture sessions looked like please go and watch the movie Braveheart while muslims allowed non-muslims to thrive. let's not forget the contributions Muslims have done in Spain which was the pavement of Europe to exist the dark ages through science and engineering and the innovation. the fall of Islamic Spain was like the fall of Carthage at the hand of the Romans. it was a bloody Holocaust. if you were to do a DNA test right now to the Arabs and the natives of North Africa you will find a third at least of them are having Spanish blood. a compensation and retribution is due to those people.

Ethnically majority of Muslims were in fact local Spaniards who converted to Islam and/or had mixed Arab origins who were known in society as Muladies and minority were ethnical Arabs and Berbers, but as long as Muladies were Muslims they had no problem assimilating onto Arabic culture and even having to identify partially as Arabs. Muslim men could marry Christian women very easily because that’s allowed in Islam (something you didn’t know).

Only people who study true unbiased history deserve recognition for their work.

Astures and Pelayo where not vascones or anything related..

you are SO right, Some crass mistakes like this detract credibility from the documentary, I'm afraid.

They were Celtiberian and Basques Too DNA is the same in all the country according with studies. Basque Language was a Language of a people of Navarre mountains who were not under Latin culture

[@larrymccoy5394]

But like the other Iberians had common ancestors

Pelagius wasn't a "vascon", he was and "astur" warlord from Asturias, they are different peoples.

[@gatamadriz]

Great Video. I lived in Spain for a number of years and traveled all over visiting friends in many cities. The Spanish are very proud of their culture, history, food. Perhaps it is because they lived under Franco for so long, they are taking pride once again. The stories I heard about Franco, and the Siege of Madrid - told to me by people who lived through the battle are pretty harrowing. Wish you would do some more modern day vids on Franco, and post Franco in the 1970s. It is so fascinating. Keep up the good work, I just subscribed!

[@paununs8719]

It is said that Al-Nasir had a elite guard of black africans who were tied by chains, so they'd fight to death. So when the navarrese knights charged and defeated them, they took the chains as a symbol of victory and added them to their flag. es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escudo_de_Navarra

[@KingsandGenerals]

I read about that. :-) Seemed like a legend.

[@paununs8719]

Probably. But I think is very possible that the navarrese indeed made the decisive move by charging Al Nasir's camp.

[@KingsandGenerals]

Yeah, that happened. :-)

Great detail of smaller factions in the North of Spain. I was only aware of 1492 onwards after Ferdinand and Isabella unified Spain.

[@тамим_алзоаи]

It is a shame that Fernando unites Spain with lies and the signing of a covenant from the Pope that he will not kill Muslims, but if the Muslims rejected the covenant and did not sign it and demanded war, then you would have known the outcome of the war, especially since the Ottoman Empire was ready to provide support

[@jonathanmatamoros1368]

Like the video, short but sweet kinda like the reconquista in 5 minutes (or 13 😝) the only criticism I have to say is that you could work on your pronunciation a little more. It’s a pet issue I guess and I hate to be that guy but as a Spanish speaker it can be off putting when Spanish words or names are mispronounced especially when the subject matter is indeed Spanish history. That’s all for the rest I thoroughly enjoyed video and you’ve got yourself a new subscriber! Keep it up!
