I'm delighted that you gave a quick rundown on the politics of Visigothic Spain. I always found it hard to picture how the Germanic tribe controlled the peninsula, and how their downfall came about so quickly. Hope to hear more about Al-Andalus and the invasion of Gaul soon!

I have lived in Spain for many years and I am always fascinated by its history. I lived in the Alpujarras for a few years and there are many reminders of its Muslim past.

Correction: the region around Murcia was not given to an arab governor, but rather it retained the local visigothic count named Theodemir; he agreed to submit himself to the umayyads and pay tribute in return for keeping his titles and property. the treaty survives to this day written down in arab chronicles.

The value of these videos is timeless, they will be useful even years from now. Great effort for documenting these historic references in this digestible fashion.

Guadalete is here, now onwards to Constantinople, Covadonga and Tours. What an amazing series!

[JohnnyElRed]

No wonder it took so long for this video to come out. I already knew from my history classes in highschool that the Battle of Guadalete and late Visigothic was sparce on details, and had many contradictions. But I didn't expected... this.
What a mess for future historians to decipher.

I've always been curious about the Visigoths in Spain. There is not enough content about it, and I'm glad you're covering it for us.

This might be my favorite YT channel. These battles especially the middle age and Byzantine time period are fantastic.

[saikrishnak]

it is weird for me to think that a barbaric tribe which sacked Rome was ended by their own disunity and the Arabs. the time period was only 300 years between the sack of rome and the subjugation of visigoths under Caliphate's rule. but for me its 1000 years.

After years of waiting, my wish has finally been granted! Thanks, Kings and Generals! I've been waiting for the Umayyad conquest of Hispania ever since I discovered your channel!

[roihanfadhil]

Ah yes, after so long I have been waiting for this, you are finally uploaded it too.

Good job for this video 👏👏.

Can't wait for Battle of Tours (معركة بلاط الشهداء in Arabic) 732 AD.

This era in history really doesn't get a whole lot of discussion. Glad to see it here

[davidhughes]

Here again. Thank you Kings and Generals. One more great documentary in military history after over 40 years of study. You are my friends in knowledge.

[reddeadmj]

Thanks for these historical videos. It helps a lot to learn the old history.

A video about the Portuguese-Moroccan wars would be very cool, during the late medieval era and the early modern age

[AbdullahelAttar]

Andalusia era of Iberia under Arab and berber rule was full of fascinating tales specially that there was a mixture of different cultures there

[RFray]

There is a small error on the maps: the Septimania region in present-day southern France remained in Visigothic hands after the fall of the Kingdom of Tolosa, and then remained under muslim control for another 40 years after the Arab conquest of Iberia.

[historiadormasokilla]

Very good video. But in the map after the Battle of Vouille the visigoths lost all their territory in the actual France but with the exception of the Septimania, which remained with the visigoths at the time off the muslim conquest.

[robvillar]

Great video. The pace and breadth of the Islamic conquests always fascinated me. Would you consider touching upon East Asian conflicts in the future? Particularly the 19th century Qing dynasty, covering the Taiping Rebellion, Opium Wars, Boxer Rebellion, etc.

Let’s pray that our children learn to live together without hatred towards one another. Millenniums of wars has begotten nothing but more wars that continue today😢.
