Why the French owned ANATOLIA

[kenzieafent]

Norman mercenaries trying to not betray their rulers: impossible

[highgrounder]

Next video idea for CK3: Uniting Byzantium as the Normans

[majestic]

Normans cannot be loyal for 5 minutes😂

[warbeatler]

Byzantines trying not to get backstabbed by their merceneries/allies

Difficulty: *Impossible.*

[vladus]

The music in the background is Et la Mer et l'Amour - Renaissance French Song by Farya Faraji

[jack_cry]

Please find a CKIII mod that includes this hidden gem of a ruler and play as them!

[thomasdaub]

Let me say your historic fakts videos are rly good, hope you get the love for it.

[denniskylling]

I love the Normans were just vikings who turned Christian and French, but when it came to settling down and playing "feudal simulator" they weren't quite ready to stop conquering far away lands

[henryasselin]

Am Norman, can confirm we still exist and are everywhere (do not check your floorboards)

[whoareyouyouareclearlylost]

It was more of a resistance than a conquest.

[marcgalofre]

This remembers me of the great catalan company

[NasMau]

would be cool if you mentioned the year

[Marshmobilise]

That’s cool I’ve never heard of this before and I’m studying to be a history teacher

[hilebard]

It's staggering they didn't try to keep the byzantines happy. Maybe work with them, try for an alliance. Make terms that's better for the byzantines. Before the fourth crusade they were unparalleled. Constantinople was the most populated city on earth. They were the richest empire on earth. Whoever could mount more soldiers than the byzantines would still lose due to the immense wealth of the byzantines, they could just hire ever more mercenaries

[Corngunderer]

So are they the predecessors of candar or trebizond?

[efefiskeci]

Can anyone tell me the name of the kingdom or the king?

[pieceofschmidtgamer]

Eh, Alexios was far from a bad emperor, but he made plenty of mistakes that cost the Empire big along the way, so I wouldn't call him the best.
