[@theentertainmentnation4694]

@@zacharyspalding3858 “societal advancement”, the Western European sphere was way off ahead all the other spheres and also Islamic world. The Feudal society was much more advanced and sophisticated than the Despotism of the Islamic world. Slavery was abolished, and while the Feudal society wasn’t exactly nice, each and every citizen had his and her place in the society. Everyone had judicial rights and responsibilities, and while nobles were exempted from taxes, this applied only as long as they were soldiers or civil servants. If they picked a trade or profession, they lost the tax exemption status. The Romano-Germanic civil law was light years ahead from sharia and despot’s whim, and the judicial system of the Western sphere is even today the model to all secular judicial systems in the world. “economical advancement”, again the Western European sphere was the winner. Feudalism allowed economy to evolve beyond the bazaar economy of the Islamic world. Proto-Capitalism evolved. Things like co-operative, joint-stock corporation, holding company, insurance, cheque and derivatives were invented already in the Middle Ages. The oldest extant joint stock corporation, Stora Enso, can date itself to era of Crusades. It is the fifth largest paper producer in the world. True, the Islamic cultures could build lavish monumental and religious buildings and the rulers lived in opulence. All what this proves is an incredibly skewed Gini coefficient. It was all squeezed out from the work of slaves and fellahs, who got absolutely nothing on it. The Gini coefficient of the Western societies was much more even: the upper layers of the society were not that opulent and rich, but the middle and lower classes were much more wealthier and well off than the fellahs and slaves in the Islamic world. Dont get dumb, feudalism was better than any other thing muslims had to offer, go ask urself why no ones speak arabic and u speak in english. People just like to talk about the past to make them feel better about themselves.

[@Nasser_b]

@@theentertainmentnation4694 The reason why you don't speak Arabic is the anti-Muslim propaganda by the church, and this is well known. The Caliphate ended feudalism and the people became free. The time for taking annual taxes was changed to the harvest season so that the peasants would not have to take loans that made them lose their money. Compare this with what you did in Africa and the new world, of enslaving and stealing the wealth of the original people.... This is just one example, and if I talk about the rest, there will be no time.

[@Nasser_b]

@@theentertainmentnation4694 The information he mentioned in the passage about the presence of 10,000 eunuchs at the Caliph in Baghdad is false. This was present with the Emir of Andalusia. Slavery in Islam was limited and the son of the slave is free, unlike what is found in Christianity of enslaving people and this is what happened with the control of Castile on Granada. Your feudal system led to centuries of destruction and rebellion, while we, from the days of the Akkadians, invented a system of government better than feudalism.

Al-Mansur (or Almanzor) is also an antagonist of one of the earliests Spanish epics, the tale of the seven knights of Lara (Siete Infantes de Lara). According to that tale, the protagonists were seven brothers, all of them knights, which belonged to the Lara family. At the wedding between Doña Lambra and Don Ruy Velázquez de Lara (their uncle) there was a confrontation between the families. Both families start fighting, and Álvar Sánchez, the cousin of Doña Lambra, is killed by Gonzalo González de Lara, the youngest of the knights. Later, Doña Lambra ends accidentally watching Gonzalo while he was bathing. Doña Lambra takes advantage of the situation by having her retainer throw a cucumber filled with blood at him, as revenge. Gonzalo reacts by killing the retainer, whom was trying to defend himself by getting behind Doña Lambra. As a consequence, Doña Lambra is furious, and she plans a revenge together with her husband. They have one of their vassals, Gonzalo Gustioz (father of the seven knights), go to the court of Al-Mansur with a message (written in mozarabic) which finishes by requesting that Al-Mansur kills the vassal after he has finished reading. However, Al-Mansur in his magnanimity just has him under house arrest, and he ends up having an affaire with Al-Mansur's daughter. From that affair a bastard child named Mudarra is born, and later gets adopted by Sancha Velázquez, the wife of Gonzalo. In the missive there are instructions for ambushing the seven knights, which are then captured, tortured and decapitated by Al-Mansur's troops. However, several years later, an adult Mudarra takes revenge for his brothers by dueling and killing Don Ruy. Note: The word "infante" depending on the context can be used for both a prince that is not in the succession line (for instance, the younger brother of a king who already has offsprings) or for a low nobility rank similar to knight. In this context, I'm translating it to "knight", as they're not supposed to be relatives of a king, but of a noble who ruled over an Alfoz (small provincial district in medieval Castile, the term comes from the Arabic Al-hawz, meaning "province"). Another note: The house of Lara would rise through the ranks of nobility a few generations after the events of the tale, first becoming counts, and later becoming marquises and then dukes, after supporting Isabella I in her civil war against Juana the Beltraneja. Members of that house served as captains of the royal guard, vicerroys, special diplomats to important negotiations, archbishops and generals, as well as grandmasters of knight orders such as the Order of Santiago (probably the most important knight order in Spain). Their coat of arms is a field with two cauldrons, grey for the original family and red for the extended Manrique de Lara family (which succeeded them).

The senate/council congregation system for the election of new rulers literally got disbanded over 30 years after the Prophet's death, never to return again until the modern day.

Nice video. Would be great if you will made another video about Chinese, Korean and Japanese court

[@brokenbridge6316]

Maybe on the next video you can talk about the Courts of China, Japan, n Korea. Because that would be really nice. Also it would be nice if you talked about the court life of Spain under Ferdinand and Isabella. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.

One thing we know for sure Ferdinand and Isabella court will be very stinky because of their smell ....

Now you need to make how Central/Northern European courts worked. All from Romania and Serbia in the south, through Hungary and Bohemia in the middle, up to Poland, Sweden and Denmark in the North. All these countries basically shared their ruling families and polituical system since early X century up untill XVII century.

[@handsdown3521]

Romania and Serbia aren't really central.

[@slayerofcrusadersandsmallh6404]

Same as rest of Europe.

[@krakendragonslayer1909]

[@achillesrodriguezxx3958]

I always wondered how courts worked in Scandinavia. I'm pretty sure it was more pagan and tribal before the rise of Christianity and more westernized after that

[@tylerellis9097]

@@krakendragonslayer1909 Not Really Serbia was Tied to Constantinople and is firmly in southeastern Orthodox Europe, not really comparable to Poland.

You should do a video on Al Manzor of Spain

[@judsonwall8615]

One of the worst rulers in world history. Single handily destroyed the beautiful Caliphate of Cordoba.

[@judsonwall8615]

@@jaif7327 Well, it’s my opinion. Some differ. But to me, he sowed the seeds of its destruction. Yes, he was the best military commander they maybe ever had. He was good at raiding, raping, and enslaving. But he destroyed the fabric of the caliphate. He made the caliph a puppet. From then on, the caliph was only a figurehead. So when he was gone, the rest of the country didn’t have respect for the framework of Al Andalus. Before Almanzor, Al Rahman The Great made Al Andalus into a cosmopolitan, peaceful, extremely prosperous country. Christians, Arabs, Berbers, Jews all lived in harmony. Almanzor shit on that and decided he would rather steal from people and enslave them. He was a virus. Killed Al Andalus from the inside. The proof is in the pudding. The caliphate totally crumbled within a decade of Almanzor’s reign.

Will you eventually add Spanish in the audio tracks of the video? I'd would really like to show your videos to my father who doesn't understand English, actually he does but only the basic and doesn't like to read subtitles like most baby boomers.

[@Kalleosini]

I'm going to hope/assume you're doing african courts too. and that would be the end of the CK3 sponsored vids for this DLC. but I'd also love a video on south east asian courts as well as one on korean, chinese and japanese courts during the same period as the courts mentioned in this video and the previous one. this is too good to be limited to regions available in CK3
