What Is A Paladin (And What Is A Palatinate)?

[@CambrianChronicles]

The Palatinate was one of the first countries I attempted to play in EU4, solely because the name sounded cool, very interesting to know where it came from now! Great work

[@geraltgerassimenko5600]

Although the actual region of palatinate is super boring

Great video. To the point, yet full of colorful details

Interesting! Never thought to look up what paladins were historically, assumed they just were some kinda knights - but there's some more to that, turns out.

[@WolfKin85]

What's a Paladin? I'm not entirely sure...

[@SomeBody-rm6hf]

Your knowledge of the land shall be great!

BETRAYAL!!!

[@santaclaus5304]

Think of a Knight who is lieged to a lord, then you have a Paladin who is lieged to the lord creator.

Absolutely brilliant! Shared and subscribed!

I personally think Heder the Palatine of Hungary during the 11th century was the most fearsome and interesting!

[@codybitme]

Welp. I know about the paladin was a lie. He was not a priest who bulk up, took a sledgehammer and became a holy warrior but only a palace guard 😢

Cheer up bruv, there are still war bishops

[@deutschermichel5807]

As a German I have no clue what a Paladin is. But Pfalzgraf is self-explanatory.

[@sethleoric2598]

Alladin? Yeah he's a good pal of mine

[@DarylSauerwald-g7n]

As some one who could be called a Palintine American I'm glad to find this information. Something I have been woundering is the tern Palitine realated to Palistine which was founded I think by Rome. My Mothers side of the family are know to Americam history as the Palitine germans of New York, own to the Palitine of the Electorate a now defuct german state.

They had a pretty rough time in NY. Worth looking up their history!

Paladins are fantasy version of Crusaders, they got the name from different language but theyre crusaders of inquisition.

[@coldstream11]

No. They come from the stories of Charlemagne

[@moeinsp9622]

The name is from ancient persian language (Pouladin) in persian poulaad mean steel and poolaadin meaning is "made of steel" or "hard like steel" or in slang mean hero knight
