Battle of Iconium 1190 AD - Third Crusade - Expedition of Frederick Barbarossa 

Such a great victory for the Crusaders. HRE sacked the capital city of seljuks and absolutely tamed them. The seljuk sultan surrendered to Barbarossa while on his knees. The Iconium was also a spiritually most important city for the turks. Barbarossa literally struck a sword on their chest and avenged all other Crusaders' defeat with this victory. Thx for covering this magnificent battle.

Thanks I love your video well made

One of my fav battles. Thanks for making this

Great video

Great video mate. One correction tho, army number of both sides was 65,000 turks versus 40,000 HRE. Reference, Arnold Buhler "The Crusade of Friedrich Barbarossa". Sources have always been controversial on that subject. But we can be sure the seljuqs had more men, overwhelming advantages in this battle. Also, the funny thing is, according to the ignorant turk fools, they won all crusades.(first, third and sixth crusade succeeded) In fact, the turks were wiped out from history if Barbarrosa had established a new Crusader state in their capital city (Iconium) instead of marching towards Antioch. Edit; Just in case any irrational turk bothers me with some copy/paste replies from the internet, I could easily copy/paste from the internet too. What did I write in my initial comment.? " Sources have always been controversial on that subject. But we can be sure the seljuqs had more men, overwhelming advantages in this battle" I also noted that Iconium was a capital city of seljuks. So that city was an important place, a stronghold, the heart of the seljuk turks in that battle. And the most valuable settlement for turks in Asia Minor. These are historical facts. Here's a copy/paste "most historians think the higher troop estimates are exaggerated and propose 12,000-20,000 men, including 4,000 knights." On the other side, what was the size of seljuk turkish army? 10,000 men during the Battle of Philomelion (1190) prior to the Battle of Iconium, the crusader vanguard forces under the command of the duke of savoy Barbarossa's son were 2,000 men. As for the Battle of Iconium, the army size of the crusaders was 15,000 when faced the main seljuk army outside of the city gates. Seljuk forces have combined with Kilij Arslan's garrison contingent of 10,000 men plus his son's 22,000 Qutb al-Din's field army. Estimated 32,000, which means larger than the crusaders. Moreover, Kilij Arslan II himself was commanding the seljuk army during that battle. As soon as the duke of savoy stormed the gates and assaulted the city the seljuks performed flanking maneuvers and Kilij Arslan's garrison forces linked up with his son's field army to encircle crusaders. What is this video about? The battle of Iconium and the third crusade So, I suggest instead of attempting to distort history and changing the subject, you learn to deal with historical facts.

The strength tenacity and bravery displayed by both the Crusaders and the Moslems during this era is truly inspiring. Imagine what they could have accomplished if all these energies were directed in one direction for the betterment of humanity.
