History of the Crusader States: 1098-1489

Christian fighters would take over the Holy Land for many centuries, but were eventually ousted from the lands by various muslim empires of the region. And we don't discuss the Fourth Crusade.

Awesome video, definitely the most detailed video that I have seen on the Crusader States! I especially like how you included the crusader activity in Egypt, the flags/leaders of each Crusader state, and called the Latin Empire by its official name, the Empire of Romania (a detail that many people are not aware of). Keep up the great work man!

Great educational video.
I just curious about Keysun, does someone have a link to a site or can explain more about them? I have not heard nor read about them before watching this video.

Why did the First Crusade go to Edessa, rather than Jerusalem?
Answer: Because the biblical family came from Edessa.
All the gospel secrets were in Edessa,
…which is why the Templars became so powerful.
See book ‘Jesus, King of Edessa’.
