Later Crusades: A Brief Overview

[@EvilSmonker]

Your efforts in storing and sharing history is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@Zanator1]

I really love the humorous bits you sprinkle in here and there. Pretty creative to just come up with fun stuff on the fly!

[@Zanator1]

@Xander Frank What the fuck is up with you weird bot accounts posting your stupid ads on barely watched videos. Fuck off

[@Casmaniac]

@@Zanator1 I know right, and they seem to focus on this channel, which is weird

[@Zanator1]

@@Casmaniac Yeah, lol. It's weird. Hey, you should join the Discord if you watch this channel a lot. It's a pretty neat community.

I don't think the Pope during the 4th crusade endorsed the sack of constantinople. I'm almost certain that he excommunicated several leaders and even the whole army at 1 time but rescended that, and just went with excommunicating the upper echelons. Now I could be wrong but I don't think I am.

[@Epicrandomness1111]

Yeah you are correct

[@fuzzydunlop7928]

I dig your stuff, I hope to see you grow and expand as a content creator. :)

Actually Prussia was one of the countries of the Baltic and had a substantial Baltic coastline - it just isnt one of what we call the Baltic States - Lativia Lithuania and Estonia. The term was used after WWI (1914-1918) to identify those counties that had gained independence from Russia. It therefore sometimes included Finland - but they joined the Nordic group and the epithet Baltic was dropped

[@ericcloud1023]

Old video, still amazing content! Keep it up brother, your lectures are so very welcome to so many people with a craving for history

[@IllicitGreen]

impeccable presentation!

[@Ennio444]

"The Albigensian Crusades succeeded but that is not surprising, since they invaded an area and fought a bunch of civilians". Except for the Trencavels, one of the most powerful family of magnates in the Midi at the time, and then the Counts of Toulouse after witnessing the devastation laid by the crusaders, and then the King of Aragon got involved AND DIED in 1213. It is astonishing how you could reach that conclusion. I enjoy your content but sometimes you should delve deeper into the topics you present. I don't know what are your sources, but no book on the Albigensian Crusade would fail to mention the war that ended with Aragon trying (and failing) to grasp the whole of the French Midi.

Great video, you should probably respond to Real Crusades History in the next few months whilst the knowledge is fresh in your mind.

[@lolwutyoumad]

I actually would love to listen to a debate between THC and Thersites. I think that they would bring a lot to the table, and if it were civil, I think everyone would benefit.

[@donnalusti263]

Where did you go?? I love your style and smarts and sense of humour!!

[@Fankas2000]

Your knowledge about the Baltic crusade is very minimal. The Teutonic order never conquered Lithuania. They only managed to get nominal control over the western part of Lithuania (the lowlands) for a few decades. After several humiliating defeats the Teutonic order decided to play political games. In exchange for military support for various Lithuanian leaders during Lithuania's civil wars they would requested the lowlands. But these deals proved to be a mistake as none of the Lithuanian leaders that entered such deals honored them in the long run.

Real Crusades History KZbin channel fabricates legends and twists history

[@bruhmcchaddeus413]

Name one thing he fabricated lol

[@bruhmcchaddeus413]

Crusades were ANY war approved by pope under papal banner, Battle of las navas was crusade, Vienna (both times) was crusade, Malta was crusade, Norman conquest of sicily approved by pope was crusade before the first crusade lol Crusade in latin means “war for holy cause”, West europeans answering call of pope were “crusaders”. Numbered crusades (1st, 2nd 3rd etc) were only ones fought for jerusalem, there were 1000 more

[@niccolorichter1488]

crusades against Hussites are where ?

[@becherbecher]

There were several late crusades against Bohemian rebels as well.

[@Lige]

A map for each Crusade would have been helpful.

[@tomato6460]

I have really enjoyed these videos. One small complaint and I hope this doesn’t come across as petty, but please learn how to pronounce Outremer. It’s slightly grating.

[@jasondaveries9716]

And "navaree"

[@Lige]

And "Acre"

[@ergbudster3333]

Wo, dude! Thers don't do pronunciation. 'Kay?

[@federook78]

Outremer ≠ out-remer Outremer = outre-mer. Overseas in French Pronouncing it outremer as in English out-remer is so weird lol

[@libertarian-xp3yi]

But I think your content is good, I'm subscribed to your channel. Theres just those parts of history that are opinionated, for lack of a better term.

[@karimdelakarim]

You do.

[@ergbudster3333]

"NAV-aree". Hoo hah! This is my favorite YT comedy show.. listening to Thers mangle foreign names. Love the history, plus bonus name mangling yocks!

[@Ketiseb]

Battle on the Ice was in fact a battle between mongol forces backing Nevsky and the rather small regiment of forces with their allegiance to the knightly order. It was a local skirmish more than anything, with its importance enlarged by the need of a certain party to celebrate the military victory over the foreign foe and use it later as a uniting factor. Moreover, "Russian Civilization" is simply wrong in that day and age, and even later with the invention of concept of nations.

[@Eric-ng2ed]

brilliant series people pay thousands for this stuff.

[@ThersitestheHistorian]

Uh, no they really don't pay thousands for this material. I wish that they did!

Thersites the Historian university?

[@ThersitestheHistorian]

I taught the course at OSU but I was not required to post anything to KZbin. I just made these videos here because it was a relatively convenient format and it was something that was much more familiar to me than Carmen or Canvas.

[@Kuudere-Kun]

I would Consider Napoleon's campaign in Egypt and Judea a Crusade, it simply wasn't to spread Christendom perse but rather the ideals of the French Revolution.

[@cv4809]

A war counts as crusade only if it's initiated by the pope

[@Kuudere-Kun]

@@cv4809 I don't think you fully paid attention to my suggestion.

[@OfficialRapMV]

@@Kuudere-Kun the French revolution if anything was hostile to the interest of the pope. I doubt it would be a crusade if wasn't religious by any means. Napoleon too when in Egypt was cautious to not invoke the jihad among the Muslim populace and tried to create friendly relations on both sides

[@Kuudere-Kun]

@@OfficialRapMV This series covered Crusades the Pope didn't order.

[@OfficialRapMV]

@@Kuudere-Kun Yes but what's more important is the intent. There was no religious intent but more of a strategic move. Napoleon wasn't interested in a crusade for Jerusalem, he was only in Egypt and the middle east to cut off British trading routes and this coincided with the ottomans who were in possession of these areas and refused to bow down to French fiddling. If anything Jerusalem was merely a casus belli into the ottoman empire meant to take Egypt.

[@TrajGreekFire]

I have to ask why are you so hostile to the Papacy? I get that there were bad popes (such as the heretic pope Adrian VI), but like idk if the popes ONLY goal PERIOD was to expand their power

This guy's an atheist with an obnoxious self-assured attitude. One time he argued that the concept of a holy land doesn't make sense because how can some land be inherently more holy than other land.

[@tamanassman]

your pronunciations are painful. Outremer - French, 'overseas', 'on the other side of the sea", meaning the Levant/Holy Land.. OOT-ruh-MAIR ThesslaLONica it's pronounced, and not ie-ka, but ee-ka. In another video your warp Damietta into "Damee-ate-a"; the double-t makes the vowel before 'soft", no an ei (long a) like you're saying it. There were some other warped pronunciations; you know what you're talking about but it seems you had no direct exposure to a teacher or learning source where these (well-known) names are properly pronounced.

[@montengro234]

He's American, they aren't exactly known for their skill in pronouncing foreign words because of their accent A few mispronounced foreign words in a 30 minute video isn't that egregious considering the quality of the content

[@jl696]

He "Americanized" the pronunciation and made it better. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/outre-mer?pronunciation&lang=en_us&dir=f&file=fwoutr01
