The Reconquista - Part 3 History of Navarre

The struggle between Christian and Muslim states of the Iberian peninsula continue. The great Umayyad Caliphate of Cordoba crumbles and gives the Reconquista a chance to go from the defensive to the offensive. In the Northeastern portion of the peninsula, the Kingdom of Pamplona comes into being under her shrewd King, Sancho III. In time she will become the Kingdom of Navarre and will add her own chapter to the war of reconquest.

You do a very good job, I must say as a historian. Nicely balanced tone, facts and music

[@TheHistoryofSpainPodcast]

Navarre couldn't expand further and stopped being involved in the Reconquista, as Castile and Aragon conquered the lands south of Navarre and Navarre could only attack the now bigger Christian states. That's why in the 13th century they closed ties with France and the counties of the Pyrenees, until Spain conquered Navarre (not Lower Navarre in the other side of the Pyrenees) in the early 16th century. Great video Nitin!

[@FlashPointHx]

Navarre become a minor player later in the Reconquista - but under Sancho III it did have its moment in the spotlight. Plus his children would go on to become Kings of Castile and Aragon - which would be major players down the road. I’m happy you liked the video - I save these clips so when you launch your podcast episode on this time period I can help you create another launch video if you like

[@joshuanavarro5360]

my surname is Navarro and that means "person from Navarre". This was pretty cool to learn about, I wonder if my ancestors came from this kingdom

[@FlashPointHx]

The mountainous terrain of Navarre meant that the people who lived there were very isolated - studies show that the DNA of people that hail from Navarre is also isolated. Have you ever done one of those DNA tests?

I create a bunch of images and maps on PowerPoint and then animate them with a program called Apple Motion. Not as flashy as premiere or after effects - but also a fraction of the cost and IMHO still a powerful program.

Good work. Nice videos. Do you Will speak of Portugal and Afonso Henriques?

[@FlashPointHx]

Yes!! Absolutely, the rise of Portugal is one of my favorite stories. Still need to find some video of Portugal however

[@rvrv7021]

In KZbin , dont have many informaçion or litle in English. About Afonso Henriques, and is live is to important, because if he didnt exist, i dont believe that Portugal Will exist. You have to made a video like this of Navarra, and check informaçion in Portugal history sites. I can tell you that his live is só amasing that give a históric série.

[@FlashPointHx]

The next video is of Castile and after that will be Portugal. Like I said, if you or anyone you know has video or pictures of Portugal I could use them for the video.

[@rvrv7021]

Portugal and Spain have the same blod , religion and similar culture, language and history. But they are centuries apart and creat diferente nacionalites identies. The portugueses are Spanish teoricaly, but they se Spain as castille. And the Spanish dont know the portugueses people

[@olderthanyoucali8512]

Enjoyed your video featuring navarre, I'm a direct dependent of the great king sancho ramirez de arellano the 3rd. El CID married a ramirez de arellano, king richard the lion heart married beregaria ramirez de Arellano. Cortez and Pizzaro both married ramirez women. The first European settlers in calif. In 1775 included manuel ramirez de arellano.

Will you be doing a video component to your Attila the Hun series? Also I thought it would be awesome if you could do a video on Trajan! Since you've done the Punic wars and now Islamic Spain it would be cool to see a video on the first Spanish emperor who was also responsible for Rome at it's greatest extent!

[@FlashPointHx]

Trajan was impressive - I remember seeing his column in Rome. Don’t think I’ll have time for either Trajan or Attila - but might start something with Rommel. If I can figure out how to get my kiddo to take more frequent naps :)

Don't confuse Navarre with basques, basques were castilians and navarrese were navarreses, navarreses were vascones, and basques (vascos) are celtic people mostly culturally vasconized or mixed, vascongados, is not the same.

Kings and Generals is better researched and more objective

[@SupremelyFly]

I don't know if their more concerned with being objective than just trying to appease their audience. I was watching a video about Alexander the great where they mentioned Macedonia has a mixed Greek and Slavic culture. Why would you talk about Slavs when they come much later in history and have nothing to do with Alexander the great? They're videos are still alright but I'm bothered by the fact that they are becoming more like TV history. I prefer channels like Flashpoint History where it consists of small teams making videos out of passion for history rather than monetary gain.
