So much to be in awe of when it comes to Melisende. Baldwin II raised her to be an equal of any man and she was more than up to the task. One of the greatest figures in history.

I do admire her as well. I do find her relationship with her son Baldwin III disappointing. Would she not have been better served acting as the supportive mother rather than a competitor? Fernando III’s mother Berenguela seems like the model queen-mother.

@lambert4116

@@RealCrusadesHistory I would agree that she would have been served much better giving Baldwin the crown and support when he came of age. However, Melisende was not raised to be a queen mother. Baldwin raised her to consider herself an equal of any man and to take power and hold onto it by any means. I guess in her mind that applied to her son as well. After all, she was a woman ruling in the furthest outpost of Christendom surrounded by enemies and envy both within and without her kingdom.

Nice documentary. Thanks for the effort!

This is just fantastic, thank you

Nice to see the ideas of the expanded crusades explored! Not often you get anything on zengi

One thing your videos do so well compared to others is show maps for locations and not just assume we all have Ph.D.s in history. It is so easy to follow along with the videos. I know it is time consuming but makes the viewing experience so much better.

I like how this was all recorded

I thought this was an excellent history of the Second Crusade. It was interesting to see the shear scope of the Crusade in all of its theatres as well as Bernerd's concepts about prosecuting the Crusade. For Manuel I, Niketas Choniates tells us of how many Roman citizens hated the Latins and he repeats the stories of them sending down scraps of mouldy bread for most of their money as well as brawls and the sweeping away of the German baggage train by a flash flood. I agree that Manuel's apathy towards the Second Crusade was a misjudgement but at the same time, from his perspective, he had several large armies crossing his lands and to the Eastern Romans, the Latins were just as much a threat as the Turks and were not considered natural allies. Something that had not happened yet were Manuel's successful policies to tame the still rather wild frontiers of the Anatolian provinces. Had the Crusade of Louis and Conrad taken placed 20 years later, they may not have had quite as many issues when marching across Anatolia as they did in the 1140's. I look forward to the next one.

This video completely reframed how I use to view the 2nd Crusade which I read from "The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Crusades". This version claimed Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine's boldly and openly committed infidelity in Antioch with her uncle and made no attempt to hide her actions in front of the whole court. It also claimed that King Louie attacked the Crusader "ally" of the Kingdom of Damascus. *This version of the 2nd Crusade helped me unlearn the gossip and lies from an entertaining but inaccurate book*

I wonder how history would have been different if the Byzantines had been able to capture Antioch. I bet they would have helped defend Edessa. John Komnenos had a great opportunity to take Antioch from the crusaders in 1138 but instead tried to play nice with Raymond of Poitiers. I think John was worried that if he attacked Antioch, there would be an uproar in the West and the Pope would call for a crusade against the Byzantine Empire. The Komnenoi emperors viewed the Latins in the west as a bigger threat than the Turks in the east.

Finally

I can kinda understand why most of the Latin Kings didn't want to venture out with their big army on ships. Most of these guys likely couldn't swim, nor were they used to naval warfare in case of Moorish Pirates. On land you can still widely forage & go straight about, by the sea you're at the total mercy of nature not giving you storms.
