I really like this narrator. He has a soothing and deep voice. I suggest you use this one for the future. The other one has a higher pitch which I don't like. I also like that you dropped the annoying intro music and that the background music wasn't too loud and that you can clearly hear the narrator.

or an epic game *Age of Empires 2*
Maybe it is because he was contemporary with Richard the Lionheart and Philip Augustus, and because of the manner of his death, English sources seem to always portray him as the crusading emperor. In Germany, it seems to be much more important that Frederick was the emperor who brought peace, and had the ability not only to satisfy his German vassals' interests but actually to gain admiration and love from his people (high-born and low-born). He was also associated with the development of cities and towns as well as the cultural boom under the Hohenstaufen. In Italy, in the past he was used as a symbol of foreign oppressor to nourish an independence movement. Today he is largely viewed in a much more positive way by Italian historiography, as he made contribution to legal and urban systems (although he also wreaked havocs on some cities), and last but not least, was the grandfather of the beloved Federico II, aka "Stupor Mundi". Some publications even refer to him as "King of Italy" (Re d'Italia) first and foremost. Another reason for his popularity is his character. Barbarossa was illiterate and simple (and thus in some way equal to the medieval average Joe) but intelligent and possessed dynamic leadership, and considered as being folksy/unpretentious and leaning towards gravitas ("symbolic leadership" in the words of modern researchers) in equal measure. Sure, Otto the Great or Conrad II, founders of the previous dynasties, were also illiterate great leaders, but Otto can hardly be described as "warm" or "close to the people" in any way (if you believe in spirituality, he and Otto von Bismarck - who was born near his grave - probably were of the same soul), and Conrad was even less charismatic. Intellectual monarchs (even geniuses in areas other than ruling) like Otto III, Henry II, Frederick II, Maximilian I, the Prussian Frederick II... were/are also highly popular, but their intellectuality itself sets them apart from the average Joe. Certainly accidental (or fateful?) factors like the manner of Barbarossa's death or the way he was so easily and bizarrely mixed with his grandson Frederick II, another "larger than life" character, also play a role.

Trajan says hi 👋
I was very happy to finally get to see this. I had heard his name in the second crusade as a kid, and then made the connection organically to the operation. Barbarosa in World War II. I did this when I was about 16 and ever since then I was hooked on history. I am happy to finally get a full background on why he was significant other than his role in the second crusade. Thank you so much I appreciate.
Wrote my two best marked essays at Uni on Frederick I and Frederick II in the Popes and Emperors module. Absolutely loved researching it. So many people pick 20th century history and I just love Medieval, Tudors, Stuarts and Georgians.

Thanks.
Being Sicilian glad he never got to take the kingdom fully over
I can't believe that this area is still being fought over. 😫
I always felt he got a bad rap simply because he never achieved total victory in his goals. But as a monarch, his rare willingness to accept compromised solutions with other stake holders interests in mind set an example for future rulers to follow. The German political system was so complex I have given up trying to understand it lol

"The legend of Frederick I is that he sleeps in a cave from which he will one day emerge to lead Germany back to her mythologized greatness. For his red beard, Frederick is known as 'Barbarossa.' Führer Directive 21 of December the 18th, 1940, gave that name to the instruction that, 'The German armed forces must be prepared, even before the conclusion of the war against England, to crush Soviet Russia in a rapid campaign.' "

Its insane how most of channels and articles just focus on the Crusades in which Frederick partecipated. In his life, the Holy Land wasnvery marginal for him; he passed most of his life fighting in Italy. Thats the main part of his life, not the crusades. In the Second he was just a boy, he couldnt decided anything. In the third, he was already old and weak. The most important part of his life is in Italy

It has to be mentioned that the Elsass while nowadays "in" france was of course a core German region (kinda still is). It's a bit of a bad presentation to start a video of the way this guy did. Besides that, we do not actually know where he was born or even where exactly the family stemmed from.
Holy Roman empire had only a vague, tenous claim on Italian lands. Ad such it was basically a German empire and in layer days just a loose German federation.

This man certainly made enemies at many and contributed to anthypathies within countries at that time. Spreading conflict in Levant, disregarding authority of pope and initiating conflicts with Italians. Integrating power in eastern France which was part of "HRE". And expansion on east to Poland which initiate German colonisation of Western land of Poland. The Nazi used the name of prominent early German King with reason.

? Barbarossa never fought the Polish, nor the French (by this point Franks). The HRE had a rightful claim to Lorraine and Burgundy that's why it was within the Holy Roman Empire. And Pommerania and some parts of sileasia were not even in Polish hands at that point. Barbarossa fought his own Kings and feudal lords, like Heinrich the Lion, he also fought against the Magyars and against the rebellious Roman cities, which formed the Lombard league. His last campaign was the 3rd crusade.

Just wondering, but wouldn't his moniker in German be "Friedrich Reitbatt (or is is Rotbart)?
He was a great leader, but he was far less then 'the' great leaders. Uniting Germany, establish more although limited imperial power in Italy, and making some gains in Poland. However, he failed to change history, failed to achieve his goals, failed to establish world dominance, not even European dominance, failed to leave behind him a surviving legacy, just another failure in his name in operation Barbarossa that couldn't take over Russia despite being mighty and impressive.

What else should he have done? His succession was secured by crowning his son, Henry VI, King of the Romans, when he was 3. His son was also to inherit the Kingdom of Sicily, jure uxoris, securing the south, which had posed trouble for the HREmperors for decades. He also banished his biggest rival, Henry the Lion, further securing his son's ascension to the imperial throne. So again, what else should he have done? He was pious at the end of his life and wanted his spiritual salvation. As Emperor of Christendom, he was the highest temporal authority, and he saw it as his duty to defend all Christians and to recapture Jerusalem. The German magnates, too, wanted to go on a crusade. And let's not pretend that he wasn't successful. He possibly raised the largest crusader army, defeated the Seljuk Turks, and captured their capital, Iconium. But yes, I do agree that he was only mildly successful overall.

That in itself is a good example of how good an emperor he was. he managed to hold the fragments of the empire together, while fighting multiple wars which are incredibly expensive especially failed wars, the sheer fact that he was able to control the empire was impressive, not all legends are conquerors or are known for their successes it wasn't until 1450 that the HRE would introduce a law to stop civil wars.
