What really took the cake was at 8:59, when the graphic showing al-Qalanisi chronicling the crusades went right to left, because Arabic is written right to left. Outstanding attention to detail as always! You guys deliver once again!

"They saw Europe as a cold, savage place covered in mist."

Accurate.

It is always nice to see different perspectives on a single event and not just one. I think more people would be better off doing this. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.

I love the brutal simplicity of medieval and early modern ethnography. Europeans tended to call all Middle Eastern Muslims "Turks", and it also turns out people in the Middle East just called European Christians "Franks".

This goes to show that the framing of when a conflict begins and ends can effect the way we think about an event.

"Major cities of the Islamic world like Baghdad hosted hundreds of thousands of inhabitants while Paris and London hosted twenty thousand each".. I know it's a bit away from the original topic but as a person who's born in Iraq It breaks my heart to see what this great nation has become nowadays .. Hopefully we will build our homeland one day .. pardon my poor English btw ( My second language😅)

Edit : I can keep taking about my point of view forever and people will still misunderstand me🤦🏻‍♂️

Edit2 : please read my reply regarding (US/IRAN) carefully then I will answer your questions.

Edit 3 :- I'm not replying to anyone one anymore💀

The fact that this channel covers different perspectives makes it so versatile and is the best on YouTube imo

"Started off with protecting Constantinople..."

"Accidentally razed Constantinople to the ground!"

At the end of the video you mention that the crusades don't have much impact on modern culture, I believe the levantine crusades really don't, but the reconquista basically formed the Iberian culture and has a great impact on Latin American culture.
Looking for a video about that in the future.

This is why I prefer Kings and Generals to Armchair Historian. "From the other perspective" videos here are actually diverse and accurate, and videos cover a very wide range of topics from areas like India and Arabia that deserve more attention. Thank you!!

It seems to me that most of the Muslim scholars have the same perspective as Christian scholars, that it was a battle between religions, rather than a battle between political entities that incorporated religion to justify their actions and war.

[Ismail-Ibrahim]

You really have to respect that they make these high quality videos without showing any bias towards any side and with complete objectivity. Another job well done.

Haven't watched yet but as a Muslim I already know and trust that K&G did an amazing job on covering this as neutrally as possible. Keep it up!

Sultan Saladin - the life and legend by Jonathan Phillips.
It is a well balanced account of the pre third crusade the third crusade and the lasting legacy of Saladin

"This enabled both sides to have a stereotypical view of each other" --- excellent wording.

[Rannsack]

The Muslims had already conquered Spain, Sicily and other parts of Europe. To the people who think the crusades were not 100% justified, how far do you think the Muslims should have been allowed to invade Europe before a response was justified? Thanks to the Crusades, we don't speak Arabic and have a moral and legal system based largely on Christianity. We need to be very thankful to the crusaders.

Never stop posting, i find every video very valuable and cannot think of a better way to spend my spare time ❤️👌💯

[ezraumar]

despite the difference prespective between both of them, i love the warrior heart aspect inside both of them, they fight for what they believe is right. peace be upon you all brothers and sisters.

[HistorySkills]

Look, let's be honest: this is a brilliant video. Just awesome. It will be featuring in my classroom teaching as well. Keep up the great work!

[readingking]

Great video! I never thought about this type of question.
If you're doing more on medieval warfare, would you consider one on how the knightly orders worked? The Templars, Hospitaliers, Teutonics etc. I've tried researching it myself but it's still confusing.
