You've made a mistake here with one knight. Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar. The only wholly undefeated man in history as far as I know. Led an entire life of battle and never once lost whether leading battles by land, sea, in siege or defense against siege. He did not loose Cabra, he won it and routed the forces of Abd Allah of Granada, he fought on behalf of the Seville Taifa. The Medieval age is brimming with legendary knights, we haven't even here touched on Robert Guiscard, the Hauteville family, Balduin IV of Jerusalem and many more.

You are right about Cabra; I trusted an unverified source that stated that the battle was 'lost' due to El Cid being exiled as a consequence of it. Thanks for the correction!

@@TheBasedPlato No worries. El Cid went back and forth on exile for quite a while, but that was just King Sancho being manipulated by his court to be scared of his influence and jealous of his successes. There's a reason after all that even a muslims scholar called Rodrigo "a wonder of Allah", the man simply could not loose. Definitely the greatest knight ever in my book. But the list is otherwise good!

Having in mind half their live was expent helping Muslim Zaragoza against both almoravids más aragonese its bit strange they love him. His own surname "Cid" comes from arabic "Sidi", "the lord" that is how his muslim Zaragoza soldiers called him.

Very nice stuff. As an interesting fact, I can add that in Poland we have a popular adage: "Można na nim polegać, tak jak na Zawiszy" ("You can rely on him like you can rely on Zawisza".) . This means someone you can always rely on, faithful to his word, willing to help and support.

20:30 "Accusations" is an understatement. Martin V has cursed entire nation after the battle of Grunwald. And despite 600+ years from this event, inluding 20 years of Polish pope JP2 the curse remains in its "legal" power xD. Which would explain a lot tbh....

Cool vid! Learn about Henry of Burgundy, Count of Portucale, he was a french knight who came to help in the Reconquista, and also his son who became the first king of Portugal Dom Afonso Henriques.

One water spring with monument near the fortress of Golubac bears the name of Zawisza the Black. Supposedly he was executed on that spot by the Turks.

Excellent video. One thing though, you used the combined coats of arms of the Commonwealth (combined Poland and Lithuania) instead of the Polish coat of arms when talking about Zawisza the Black.

Theirs a few knights I must learn abount. Could do middle age japan. There were few good samurai Knights were about then. Like Sanada Yukimura, Musashi Miyamoto, Yasuke and many more. Great stuff 👽👍

I Love Your Videos

I would have put Pierre Terrail Seigneur De Bayard on the list as well... he was the closest thing you can get as a "one man army" back in the days!

Very nice

Made a glue airfix model of the black prince when I kid. Been to one of he's castle in Norfolk, England.. Really a interesting warrior to study . 👽👍

You are absolutely right. Unfortunately, there are a number of videos that leave out historical Portuguese figures. Many do not want to recognize the influence of the Templars who founded Portugal.

El cid won de battle of cabra leading the troops of sevilla against the troops of granada that were lead by another castillian noblemen the reason than el cid was exiled was becouse he attack lands of the the taifa of tolodeo without permision

Don’t forget Balian of Ibelin, he was a real person, though his true story varies a lot. His greatest achievement was defending Jerusalem in 1187 for long enough so Saladin can offer his peace terms. Which he did do, though the peace terms are a bit different.

It's a shame you didn't include Pierre Terrail, the famed knight without fear amd Beyond reapprouch.

There's one little detail you left out about William marshal and Richard the lion heart. William is said to have spared Richard on the battlefield when they was on opposing sides in the war with henry and his farther. I think it just adds a little more to Williams chivalric character.

Some things you say… some things… the black prince is also commonly believed to be so named after an unusually ruthless sacking of a town in France (they were his subjects, and he didnt tend to be to harsh on them) due to grief at not being at his wife’s passing… or some such…. And… Edward would have played no real role in planning crecy. He was simply given command of the van and there made his historic stand. Poitou… all him… but crecy, i dont think so… and its not even two minutes in… mmmm.

Never ever heard it suggested that henry the fifth shot the arrow that killed percy… never. Its also just not possible as henry fifth had already been hit in the face with an arrow, so would not have been able to use a bow… and a prince wouldn’t use a bow whilst dressed in amour. Perish the thought. And, as knowledge of Percy’s death led to immediate cessation of combat, fifth couldn’t have shot Percy… i think ill go back to big bang theory

Netflix will see that and will make 2 new series about Edward and Zawisza with african acteur in main roles...

The Greatest Knight that Existed was Godfrey that's why he belongs as one of the three Christian Héroes of the Nine of Fame composed by: Arthur, Charlemagne and Godfrey.

For one, I'm not that familiar with the history of the Muslim world, so I would need more time for research, and secondly, from the little that I do know, I see groups like the Faris as distinctive enough to deserve their own video in due time. I'm European myself, so most of what I know about medieval history (which isn't much) is centered around Europe. But that being said, I did gather a few names of famous Muslim warriors for a future video, so if there are some you'd like to see, please share, and once I have enough, I might make one dedicated to them :D
