Long term viewers- Sorry about the long wait for this one. Got some cracking content lined up though... North Sea Empire anyone? If you enjoyed the video please don't forget to like and subscribe. We got tons more content on the way.. Let me know what you'd like to see covered next in the comments (I'm mostly interested in the centuries between 500 to 1200 AD at the moment)

    Really top shelf series, details the events of the time looking equally at all participants. There are many existing histories of the Crusades, most fair and honest, but logistically and politically they don't adequately cover the Islamic side of the conflict. That well may be from lack of information at the time, or lack of interest on the part of the public, but times have changed and this series is a substantial improvement on what came before, thank you.

    My favorite narrative bit in history is the slew of Syrian Turko-Arabic strongmen who came about and used Jihad as a veneer to bash their Muslim neighbors into submission without outside interference. It's almost as though culture and religion are political tools, rather than self-perpetuating realities that affect everyone the same exact way!

    Ah Prince Roger. Vigorous and very much a brave man, but not, i think, a statesman or great survivor of his age. Curiously enough I would say the same thing about Ilghazi, given his imminent following death, drunk and forgettable after being thrashed by the Georgians. Certainly not the equal of King William or King Roger II. Not someone who deserves to be ranked among the great rulers after 1066. This video was quite somber, all things considered. Reminds me of the old Hellenistic saying "Never think to climb Olympus, never try to marry Aphrodite."

They were loyal soldiers under the Zengids and then rose to prominence.
