⚔️Templars vs. Mamluks⚔️ The Final Battle for the Holy Land, 1263-1291

After crushing his Mamluk rivals, Sultan Baibars turns his armies against the Crusader States, which occupy the coast of the Holy Land. The Crusader States are dwarfed by the massive Mamluk Empire, and dangerously outnumbered by their armies. But crusader castles are powerful, their warriors capable and determined. At the forefront of the Crusaders are the military orders, especially the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller. Can Baibars overcome these courageous warrior monks? Will his vast legions, even with the advantage of numbers, be able to deal with Templar determination? This is truly a clash of the best against the best. The Mamluks are outstanding cavalry fighters, vanquishers of the Mongols at the Battle of Ain Jalut. But the Templars are led by Grand Master William of Beauju, a pious leader who fights alongside his knights, who will not yield in the face of overwhelming odds. It was the Templars who had been key in many of the crusaders’ critical victories against Saladin.

Hi Jay, Iove your vids and your patreon myHeritage too. Did some research last year and discovered that if youre lucky and search long enough you can even trace back lines to famed people like Rollo the Viking and Baldwin Ii

[@Spartan902]

​@@pvijgeboomHow much does it cost when you sign up. I know it said 14 day free trial but you usually have to set up payment first before you can use this sort of stuff. I am keen to know my family history as I didn't even see or meet my grandparents before they died and my parents divorced early so all I know is that my parents were born in Holland in 1940 and migrated to Australia in the mid 60,s. That's all.

[@waterproofmedia-vi8kj]

@@Spartan902 I think the costs are around 120 usd per year. In my opinion that was worth it because you can find a lot of cool stuff about your relatives in one year. You can also do the DNA test and that gives you also a free month. Good luck!

but their legacy didn't end in the Holy Land. on the other far end of the Mediterranean, king Denis of Portugal kept the legacy alive establishing the "Military Order Of Christ" which was an off shoot of the Templars , being officially recognized by the pope in the papal bull he drafted 1319. interestingly enough, all of Portugal's famous navigators were born into that deeply religious Christian military order . and don't forget, the Reconquista and waging war against Islam was baked into the national identity of the Portuguese when they first created their global maritime empire, as they took the crusading and fighting spirit head on into North Africa and the rest the Islamic world. . at the height of their global maritime empire , the world was a very dangerous place for Muslims if they had the unfortunate experience of encountering the Portuguese empire.

As much as I enjoyed your videos, I respectfully disagree with one particular phrase. Mamluks weren't of "turkic" origin. They were indeed slave soldiers but they were under heavy Ayyubid influence, trained by ayyubids, spoke Arabic, wrote arabic, and consisted of different ethnic groups not unique to one faction. There are some false historical claims that Mamluks were turkic due to their Kipchak origin. In reality, they were part of the Ayyubid sultanate just like many other varied folks.

[@RealCrusadesHistory]

He never had to face the crusaders on even terms. It's interesting, crusaders like Richard the Lionheart and Baldwin the Leper King defeated much larger Saracen armies under very unfavorable conditions. Baibars always had overwhelming numerical advantage against the crusaders. If he'd been outnumbered would he have ever won anything?

Firstly, we do not know if Baibars el bendaqdary killed women and children as you say... But didn’t the Crusaders kill everyone who was in Jerusalem during their first campaign? They exterminated Muslims, Jews, and even Eastern Christians... Saladin treated them with mercy, but the response was that they returned with other campaigns, and so the Mamluks thought that is no solution for the crusaders except to punish them bloodily
