corruption being whatever you imagine they got up too based on islamic sources which are aklways so honest sure they rape pillage and conquer but lying about their enemies thats where they draw the line.
@@bluewizzard8843 Of course. Im an immortal leper knight from the crusades cursed to live out my life as a rotting half-corpse for eternity all because I accidentally touched the haft of a spear believed to belong to Longinus the Roman Spearman who pierced the side of Christ.
I've prestiged several times over on my knowledge of all the original legions & their succesor chapters/warbands over the last decade, that I need to come back to real life for new lore rabbit holes 😂😂
There is 1 missing from the list: Which is the Cruciferi Sancti Stephani Regis (Order of Hospitaller Canons Regular of St Stephen) or Stephanites being named after the 1st king of Hungary St. Stephen,it was a religious institution set up by King Géza II of Hungary (1141-1162). The order was organized around a hospital that the king had earlier established in Esztergom (at that time an important station on the inland pilgrim route to the Holy Land) in honor of King St Stephen I of Hungary. They also administered a hospital at Budafelhévíz. They even did take part in the 5th Crusade led by their King, András II of Hungary, members of the Order also took part in the Battle of Muhi in 1241 just as the Teutons did.
@@DAlienzombie I am not really sure, but I don't think so, they were a distinct Order like in Kingdom of Hungary beside them were also the Teutonic(who would later set their Land on the Baltic Sea) and Templars with lands there.
@@Thomas_the_Noble Yes, sure, but the polish King Arian II was the last one to let his people join the Ordensi about 800 or 900. Of course with the last crusade under the Teutonics against Sallahaddin II (I am not sure bout him, but distinct memory). As most of the Templars joined and united under one flag. The small Dóbrzyn Order was included too, that is why I guess they joined. The House Habsburg maybe has something in it, later centuries on.
Two to a horse is only possible while traveling short distances. Both orders have never and could never ride two to a horse in battle. You would have two dead Knights as well as the death of the horse caused by the beast's complete and unnecessary slaughter or extreme exhaustion from over working .
Spain keeps two Cavalry Armored Regiments to defend cities on North Africa from Moors: Cavalry Regiment "Montesa" and Cavalry Regiment "Alcantara" both equiped with Leopard 2 tanks.
@@TheBasedPlato the Knights Hospitaller are by far the most badass! in the 16th century they were in full spartan mode, siege of rhodes is Pyrrhic victory that Suleiman the magnificent never had, they beat the Ottomans in Malta and even participated in the battle of Lepanto
The order of Santiago didn't allow their members to marry, but allowed already married couples to join the order. They would remain celibate after joining.
The various militaristic orders may have earned more renown in popular imagination, but I don't think any of them can match the positive lasting achievements the Order of the Holy Ghost and other charity/medical-focused orders did in preserving and formalizing medicine as an institution across Europe. For centuries their monasteries and hospitals were the only places in Europe actively studying, cataloging, and disseminating medical literature and practice.
Not nessacarily soldiers and knights, but we definitely need more preachers, pastors, and evangelists trying to spread Christianity throughout the world.
Let's not forget the subsequent pardon by Pope Clement V bestowed upon the Templars in the form of the Chinon parchment. This historic parchment was found by Dr. Barbara Frale! Dr. Frale was the head archivist of the Vatican secret archives! Regards, Andy, Annmarie's husband
Nice video! ... just a very small, nitpicky note: The "vegvisir" symbol, used to symbolize the pagans, is actually more of an esotheric symbol from a spellbook from around the 17th century and has nothing to do with paganism ... much less so with whatever baltic tribes believed in a few hundred years prior!
A small mention to the missing minor germanic Order of the Dragon. They did the same as the teutonics in the north but in the east, but marauding magyars, tartars and turkic raiders proved more than the tribes of Livonia. The order was given holdings in Wallachia (southwest of the mentioned teutons in Transylvania) and most notably Vlad the Impaler's dad became an order knight. Hence why in folklore drachen -> draculea -> draculesti or simply drac is a reference to 'devil' as teutonic knights were upstanding chaps
I didn't include them because, to my knowledge, even though religion played a part in their existence, they were a chivalric order established and loyal to the Hungarian crown. There were a few more orders that were ommited in the same fashion (some in Iberia) that I cannot remember the names of now.
Dracul means "dragon," and Dracula means "Son of the Dragon." You literally mention it's the order of the dragon, but yet wrote a fanfiction about Dracul meaning devil when the most intuitive answer is that it means dragon.
@@carterjohnson3879As a Romanian, I can confirm we call Satan Dracul. I actually always thought Dracula was because he was so evil they called him Satan, since Dracul is the word used for Satan. It could also come from the verse in revelations where Satan appears as a red dragon, so Satan became known as Dracul or dragon. There are other words used to describe him as well, but that is one of the main ones.
3:01 The Knights Hospitaller is officially no longer exist, as The Knights Hospitaller is reorganised into Sovereign Military Order of Malta(Catholic orthologs) and Alliance of the Orders of Saint John of Jerusalem(Protestantism paralogs, eg. St. john in UK and its former colonies)
There is so much unspoken history inside of all of this, especially where the Templars are concerned as well as the incredibly horrid Albigensian Crusade which began the political and social process that led to the Reformation and the rise of Martinism and Calvinism. I spent two weeks in 1998 in the French Languedoc tracing the Albigensian Crusade.
The knights hospitallers eventually disbanded their military practices and focused solely on the medical field, they still exist today as St John's ambulance
My ancestor fought with Richard at the battle of arsuf against Saldin, our coat of arms has 3 heads that stood for ggggg+gd cut the heads off of 3 muslim soldiers with one sweep of his sword during a charge, afterwards Richard was impressed with his battle ability and always showing bravery against extreme odds and chaged his last name to Worthy, and our last name stands to this day.
This was really informative. Could you talk a bit more about the lesser and smaller orders? Like the order that only had 35 knights or the order of the hatchet. I would love to know more about them.
your pope is lapsed wake up. i now lean towards orthodoxy still a catholic church just not one that follows vatican 2. also latin mass roman catholics also follow traditional catholic services and values. if nothing else i urge you too look up the changes the catholic church allows usury and has for 2 centuries which was specifically condemned by christ.
@@kazookid6504 I understand your point, but in the context of the Nicene Creed and Catholic Church teachings, the uppercase 'Catholic' is used to denote the Roman Catholic Church specifically as the one true and universal Church established by Jesus Christ. This capitalization emphasizes our belief in the continuity and authority of the Roman Catholic Church. It's a doctrinal distinction rather than a grammatical one. The lowercase 'catholic' in other contexts refers more broadly to the universal Church comprising many Christian denominations.
There is also the Order of Saint James of the Sword, which was the Portuguese branch of the Order of Santiago and like the Order of Aviz is today a merit that can be awarded by the Portuguese Republic.
We always think about the orders outside of Iberia, but don't forget the Iberian ones, we had a lot because we were fighting our own crusade against Islam.
Fun fact: the Knights Templar order is still around today. They fled to Portugal but after that they never died or fell. The most interesting thing is that the president of Portugal is the grand master of the Knights Templar Order to this day.
As a member of one of these that still exists today. There are a lot more that still exist and are not even mentioned here. Example: Order of Saint Catherine of Mount Sinai and the Order of the sword, both from Lusignan family
@@social3ngin33rin yup. Wouldn't want it getting out that in the higher tantra of pretty much every lineage (even esoteric Christianity) involves drinking alcohol out of a skull. You can even find this still going on such as in upper paramilitary groups and some armies around the globe. Systems within systems
Military Order OF Christ in Brazil 🇧🇷🇮🇱🇵🇹The history of the discovery of Brazil is full of Portuguese Knights Templar, the Portuguese caravels in Brazil had the Templar crosses printed on their arms, the flag of the Portuguese kingdom at that time also had the cross, Brazil is full of fortresses on its coast that still There is a lot of material like pure steel armor and medieval metals from the year 1500, cannons from that time that still work are made of metal like ancient steel.
When the Livonians tried to baptized the Russians (who were already Orthodox Christians at that time) just like the "baptized" the estonian, latvian and lithuanian pagans - with iron and fire, the Russian Prince of Novgorod Alexander Yaroslavich Nevsky beat their arses on the frozen Chudskoye Lake. Prior to that he also has beaten the swedish "knights" and their finnish and norwegian fiends who came to Russia with the same "baptizing" ideas , but the swedes still pretend that it never happened. Also, Alexander Nevsky has later became a Grand Prince of Kiev, way before the so-called "ukraine" was created by the Bolsheviks, but the current ukrainian nazi don't like that, so they delete all mentioning of it on Wikipedia.
Half right. He couldn't speak English but he was born in Oxford. England wasn't part of the french empire, not least because France didn't have an empire at the time but had inherited a duel king with Normandy, which is only part of modern day France. It's like when James became king of Britain. He was a Scottish King who inherited the throne of England so decided f it, Britain it is but yeah he was for all intense and purposes french and I don't believe he ever went back to England after being born there. If he did it was a fleeting visit
@@me5969 he was a French Viking who inherited a right to rule England together with many different regions of France, he spoke 2 versions of French. Calling him English just because he was born in England is a bit silly don't you think especially since once he left he never returned and ruled England from France...
bet some historians would have some arguments against the depictions of the knights in ur video… i am not an expert, but those templar knights looked like from a video game or something. bet its pretty hard to find historically accurate depictions you can use…
Good thing that the Templars were destroyed because of their "satanic rituals". It was also convenient that the French crown won't have to pay off their debts to the Templars.
