    In the pantheon of "Saviors of Europe" that includes the likes of Jan Sobieski, Pepin and Charlemagne, no one is greater than Queen Isabella. Truly a hero for us all. So exited about this one and Happy Thanksgiving to all the Yanks out there. Hitting up Ancient Treasures for my personal Christmas presents. The Crusaders and Roman standard!!!

    First just wanna say the artwork, music, and narration are phenomenal, really gets invested in the video. The Battle of Toro was pretty intense, had me on the edge of my seat. Portugal really gets slept on a lot, not many people realize just how strong it used to be, now it's gotten overshadowed by it's former colony in South America, which is funny and sad at the same time. The early modern period is my favorite part of European history, especially in terms of warfare, with the introduction of the pike and shot. I find the mix of armored knights, pikemen, and gunpowder weaponry fascinating, and am disappointed it's not represented in fantasy more often, as I just love the Spanish tercios. But there just seems to be this stigma with gunpowder in most medieval fantasy, like people just seem to avoid like the plague. There seems to be this strange idea that gunpowder didn't exist until the 1700s or something.

    @@FlashPointHx Exactly, it was one of the first true global empires in the world. Colonizing South America, going around Africa, fighting the Ottomans as far as India etc. On top of being one of the last colonial empires by the end of the 20th century. Though the history of colonial empires is controversial, there's no denying Portugal has some pretty amazing feats, on top of it's amazing longevity, yet it's mostly remembered for being part of the Iberian Union, or under Napoleon's thumb. Kinda like how the French are mostly remembered for their quick surrender in WWII. It's only made worse by the fact that when most people think of the Portuguese language, their first thought is most likely Brazil. No hate to Brazilians or anything, I love the country, but Portugal seems to consistently draw the short end of the stick for some reason.

    Wait, did you just say Ferdinand wasn't good at Latin? He was literally the guy who taught Isabella latin (because her own mother was of the opinion that Latin was barbaric and need not be taught to her children) until Beatriz de Galindo took over her latin lessons. This was because Isabella dismissed pretty much every male tutor she had before Ferdinand because she had felt insecure. And also, the Concord of Segovia was a humiliating capitulation, one that even Isabella's own party doubted Ferdinand would concede to. But Ferdinand, being ever the machiavellian, planned out the whole scenario and conceded. In it, he had to give up all claims to the Castilian throne and the document laid out the separation of power between the two by which Ferdinand had next to no say on matters concerning the castilian state. Ferdinand did this knowing he would get the opportunity to re-negotiate the terms once the Portuguese came knocking. They did, and the roles were reversed. On April 28 1475, Isabella ceded equal powers to Ferdinand via an amendment with him getting supreme authority on Castile's military, bureaucratic and foreign policy while the others required the consent of both parties.

    @@FlashPointHx I don't mean to be nit-pick or continually contradict you but maybe books like The Queen's Vow aren't exactly the best source material. Instead, I'd suggest something like Sir John H. Elliott's Imperial Spain. Ferdinand was one of the most cut-throat political power players of his time. Quite literally the inspiration for Machiavelli's 'The Prince.' He was infamous during the Italian Wars for authoring treaties, ratifying them and then having his opponents be the one to break them at a time of his choosing while the blame never could be pinned on him because the language of said treaties always seemed to favor him. THAT'S how much of an intricate knowledge he had of Latin. And this is without taking into consideration the way he traced old archived documents all the way back to the 1200s and Charles d' Anjou to force Pope Julius II to name him 'King of Jerusalem' like all Neapolitan Kings before him.

    Ferdinand didn’t made a concordant with Isabella in Aragon. That’s not correct. He was the only acknowledged lord in Aragon. The concordant of Segovia in Castile did gave Ferdinand power in Castile as the queen’s husband, he was allowed to dispense Justice, and make laws with her, but not the other way around when he became king of Aragon. Although that was not really a loss for Isabella, of the two crowns, Castile was by far the most important one. It was the most populous, 4 million people lived in Castile and 1 million in Aragon at the time. Meaning higher income from taxes and the wealthier of the two. There is a reason when Christopher Columbus does his expedition, the one to subsidize it is Castile and not Aragon, same with the conquest of Granada, and Navarre, and Naples. Although Naples was under the crown of Aragon, but the conquest of it was done with Castilian armies anyway.

    You are creating a character out of nowhere. Fernando was not the guy you portrait, he loved burocreacy, diplomacy, administrative plans and had a very broad humanist education since he was a kid, he was involved in the adminsitration of the kingdom of Aragon when he was just a Kid. HE transformed Castille based on Aragon administratve institutions, And yes, he was a great military commander too, Best King Spain ever had

    27:33 the conquest of Granada was triggered by the Turk conquest and occupation of the city of Otranto in Naples, souther Italy, in 1580-81. This was the first time that the powerful Turks that had conquered Constantinople 25 years earlier had made a successful incursion and occupation in the Italian peninsula. Naples was under the Trastamara dynasty of Naples, to which the the king of Aragon, Ferdinand had a strong claim, seeing this development both Castile and Aragon moved swiftly and promptly to help oust the Turks from Otranto, and as soon as this was done, the war of Granada started in 1582. Granada needed to be under Christian control, because it could become a launching point for the Muslim Turks into Iberia. This had to be avoided at all costs.

    The Portuguese stopped conquering land in the península much before the Castillians. They didn't finish their "reconquista" before the Castillians. Granada was just as Portuguese as it was Castillian or Aragonese, not at all, and the Algarve before the Portuguese conquest was not Portuguese at all.

    Exacto amigo...además la parte portuguesa de la península ibérica bajo poder musulmán al igual que cuando lo estuvo bajo poder romano siempre fue la parte menos desarrollada, poblada y carente de ciudades importantes como sí las había en el resto de la península Ibérica que luego se convirtió la sucesora real del Reino Visigodo de Hispania que renació bajo el nombre de España. ¿Nadie se ha preguntado por qué todos los grandes monumentos de época islámica que siguen sobreviviendo aún en todo su esplendor centenario en la península ibérica están sólo y exclusivamente en actual territorio español?.
