I am Portuguese, I learned about this battle and the catastrophic effects of Sebastian's defeat on our country in school.
Saddly, nothing about Abd Al-Malik was ever thought to me... He is, by far, the most interesting part of this battle!
Thank You o so much for making this video~

[tobioso]

The story of the two brothers is insane! Love from Portugal to our Moroccan brothers!

[acvaticlifE]

This was beautiful. The whole story deserves to have an almost 3 hour oscar worthy movie made out of it, and focus on the relationship between the two brothers, which would culminate in the final battle.

12:02 I nearly cried
The Man was slowing dying and still fought until he closed his eyes...a beautiful victory (damn it hold the tears)

As a Moroccan, I would like to thank you for highlighting such a historical Battle that kept Morocco independent for 300 years

Thanks for covering maybe one of the most underrated battles in european History. The results of this battle were so big, it's crazy we hardly see any documentaries covering it or even a series based on it. Great material for a film!

I love how Al Mansur was loyal to his brother and accepted him to remain in charge despite his illness. Truly a splendid relationship between the two.

[dabsquidward]

It must be so hard, leading an army and suffering from a deadly disease respect to the Sultan.

FUN FACT is that Abd-Al Malik proposed to Sebastian a peace treaty before the battle. He was ready to offer him lands in Morocco. Sebastian thought that it was because moroccan were weak so he pushed. Finally Abd-Al Malik has my huge respect. Not only he won a decisive battle being deadly ill but he tried to seek for peace before. He's like a good guy heroe in a hollywood movie.

When I saw that Sebastian rushed his army to the open and pulled a squared-shape formation, that brought me memories of Crassus at the battle of Carhae (Rome x Parthia, round 1, Parthia wins, flawless victory). From that moment on I knew that Sebastian failed big time.
Also, praise to Al-Malik. His strategy turned out very similar to what general Surena used against Crassus at carhae: circling the enemy square and shooting at it non-stop.

Awesome video. Is it asking to much for a video on the rebellion of the ukrainian cossacks? This is a theme I rarely see in YT history channels...

"Formed his army into a large square"
Oh god, Carrhae flashbacks intensifies.

[streetscholar]

The 2 brothers were the embodiment of strength, honour, and integrity, I just have so much respect and admiration for them. This is easily one of my fave HM videos.

[zlakhal]

Damnn they should make a movie on this brothers tho, its just insane.

Going to battle knowing the mere physical exertion will seal your fate.

Painfully struggling and clinging to every extra second, to ensure the survival of your people at the cost of yours.

To have such a reliable brother, whom you shared thick and thin with, who keeps proving your trust till your last breath.

To die only when the outcome you sought is secured, but still not late enough to witness it.

I came here for strategy, not all these feels.

This is 10 times better and more sentimental than modern day fictional soap operas.

Imagine the men's euphoria of victory, and the immediate tragic shock afterwards when they reallized their king died, and how he died.

[amrwasfy]

Historymarche THE best history battles channel, I literally shizzled and my hands hair stood up from the way the battle was explained, I felt literally am in the battle my self. I am very proud of the heroic moroccans brothers how they defeated those opressing invaders. Peace to all from Egypt.

[alic]

Greetings from Morocco to our Portuguese neighbours. May our future relations be better than the past.

[bodeguero]

Al Mansour= Almanzor (the victorious) in Spanish, greetings from México

[Saicofake]

This fella lead an army into battle with all that sickness and here I am, calling in sick for a fever.

[BeratLjumani]

Don’t say history never gave you anything, cause Abd Al-Malik literally lived the trope of a good king fighting to protect his kingdom to his very last breath.

Sebastian : " Be Afraid Moroccans convert or die
Abd Al Malik : " Hold My couscous "
