Tancred, The First Crusade & The Rise of the Principality of Antioch (1096-1112) 

- Watch my latest full length history documentary here:- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c3Hq6UaFQqk.html Loads of incredible content lined up guys! Can't wait to share what I've been working on with you all. Please like and subscribe if you enjoyed the vid, and let me know what you'd like to see covered in the future in the comments!

Hey man, just wanted to say I really appreciate this video as I feel that Tancred is pretty much the most underated crusader in the levant, and it's really difficult to find info on him as I can't afford to acquire proper articles or sources like the translated Gesta Tancredi. I just wish you could have mentioned a few more details like was how Tancred was fluent in Arabic due to growing up in the melting pot that was Norman Sicily, or how after Jerusalem was captured, he rode north with a small force and captured the settlements and territory of Galilee himself. Because of this Godfrey was actually concerned of the growing power of Tancred that could potentially challenge his own authority as his overlord, and tried to confiscate the holdings Tancred had just seized, but eventually gave lordship over those lands as Prince of Galilee. There were many other instances where Tancred was involved in crusader intruige and plots, such as the succession of the rulership of Jerusalem and the attempt to partition Tripoli between Jerusalem snd Antioch, but I understand this video would've been way too long.

Can't get enough d'Hautevilles. Thank you for making my day.

Tancred is one of my favourite historical characters

Every time i see a new video uploaded by History Time i get a little rush of joy. Time to learn! I thank you for your efforts!

Third cursade .. soon please .. Richard lionheart Vs Saladin

It was all me 😇, too bad Roger ruined all my achievements 😡

Land exists Scandinavians slowly whispering:"It's free real estate"

Thank you for this historical selection. I want to hear more about this area of the world. It's undersold in our school system - despite that these places are a part of biblical history and linked closely to the cradle of civilization. Well done.

One of the more interesting crusaders, by far.

Thank you for all your videos and for showing the true maps of the times. Love all your videos. Thank you for giving credit to the Armenians as the history channel never will....

Oh, Tancred! He's my favorite among the leaders of the First Crusade.

Would love to see something on William Marshall. Thanks for posting!

I'd love to hear more about the Frankish Lord's Thomas de Marle and his father Enguerrand I, Lord of Coucy had on their campaigns during the First Crusade. Mainly on how they and their men had fought during the war between Muslim troops and their crusader men like the battles they fought in and how they were fighting during those battles during the First Crusade between 1096 and 1099. Then find out more about the wars that Thomas de Marle had fought against his father in France and about the time when Enguerrand I, Lord of Coucy tried to do with locking his son Thomas in a castle forever by even disowning his own son. Also about the day Thomas saw a way to escape from this castle that his own father was locking him away and the reasons why Enguerrand I thought about doing this to his own son Thomas de Marle. The man who succeeded him as the Lord of Coucy in France. Also about Thomas's own reign over the city of Coucy, France from 1116 to 1130.

Krak des Chevaliers was not a castle when Tancred first took it. It was built later by the Knights of St John (the Hospitallers).

I've watched all Viking and Norman videos on a row. They were an amazing bunch of people, so daring and unruly.

Great video! I really like the content on your channel since its a lot like the stuff I like and talk about on my channel. Great video once again!

After enjoying the Seljuq, Abbasid, and Frankish view on the crusades, I can't wait for your take on an episode about the Fatimids :-)

I know this happened over 900 years ago, but part of my love of history is my own emotional involvement with the narrative. The actors in this story are uniformly appalling. I'm having a hard time finding anyone to care about in this sordid tale of brutality and betrayal. If my sympathies lie with anyone, it's with the common people of Anatolia and the Levant who have had to endure millennia of being the principal victims of this brutality going all the way back to Sumeria and Akkad. Of all the candidate regions of the world that show humanity at its worst, this region seems to have the longest pedigree. richard -- “There is no present or future, only the past, happening over and over again, now.” - Eugene O'Neill, A Moon for the Misbegotten

1:36 to skip ad

Tancred is obviously one of The Greatest Crusaders.

31:00 You missed the part where the fatamids were allies of Alexios Komnenos and had attacked the Turks as part of the same coordinated assault as the crusaders were part of.

Tancred ❤❤❤ Armenians ❤❤❤❤❤

Taranto is where tarantulas get their name from. Back in the day, there was a condition called 'Tarantism', which was the uncontrollable desire to dance frantically and it was believed to be the result of being bit by a tarantula!

Roger lacked the drive of Tancred. A ruler/leader/conqueror/ like Tancred only comes around once in awhile. To be a leader of fighting men you first had to be of noble blood and be able to prove it. That little rule kept many good men out of higher leadership roles.

Have you done one on Shaka Zulu

Volume drops out about 25 mins in.. Awesome video though

You got my thumbs up sir

not a single mention of the holy hand grenade of antioch!?

29:15 from what source do you get that the Crusaders slaughtered Christians in Jerusalem? As far as i know, the Christians had already been expelled from the city.

he reminds me of sara tancredi

HT PLEASE tell me what the photo on 10:54 is!!! I had this book as a kid and I've been looking for it for years!!!!!! I really want to know!!!

''Turks are a known nation much older than Heredotus and Torah knows about. They have such a courage that didn't accept pomposity in a world of simplicity and didn't accept grandeur in a world of tranquility. They have a love for conquering and they never adapted to lands but made the lands adapt to themselves.'' Hammer (Historican) 'Turks are masters of destroying and creating countries. They not only turned countries upside down, they turned continents upside down and destroyed hegemonies that were very difficult to destroy. History learned so much from the Turks. There are such monuments that came from their hands; they are ornaments of civilization''.-Hammer

But when was the Holy hand Grenade created?

ISLAM AND THE CRUSADERS The movement originated in response to the arrival of a new aggressive people-Selcuk Turks-in the Middle East in the 1040's.For they first invaded and occupied the former Byzantine territory of " Asia minor " and,after a decisive victory over the Byzantines at Manzikert 1071,they proceeded to occupy formerly Arab Syria and most of Palestine.This meant that not only was overland Christian access to the Holy Land blocked off,but so were the age old trade routes between Europe and Middle East-trade routes which supplied ingredients(notably,silks and spices)that were essential to the food and clothing of the West. The Seljuk/Selcuk Turks capturing Asia minor and the Levant had turned the Mediterranean into a cul-de-sac, and swiftly growing race of Western merchants-adventurers,whose sheer political force cannot be over-estimated,could tolerate such a limitation. From a different point of view,however,the Turkish conquest represented a deadly threat to the age-old Eastern Empire.So in spite of long-standing disagreements between the Eastern and Western halves of Christendom,the Eastern emperor,Alexus Comnneus, appealed to the french Pope Urban II to send military assistance from the West.And it was in response to this plea that Urban preached the first Crusade at Clermont in 1095, urging the Christian princes of the west to take up the banner of the cross and expel the Turkish invaders-by force. In this context, we are not dealing with " goodies and baddies " on either side.For there can be no doubt that the Turks were intruders,that they were skilled and ruthless fighters,and that they had little respect or love for Christians.But neither can there be any doubt that Popes address matched fire with fire-by hailing the " race of the franks " as a " race beloved and chosen by God ",while branding the Muslims invaders as "an Accursed race,a race wholly alienated from God ". and he proceeded to describe how they have " destroyed the churches of God...and defiled them with their uncleanness "On whom therefore-he asked-is the labor of avenging these wrongs and recovering this territory incumbent,if not upon you "?

You could lower your music/sound effects volume as it clashes with the narration, which makes it annoying.

Am I the only one who thinks he sounds like Ewan MacGregor doing an English accent?

there isnt enough content about robert guiscard out there

bkground music too prominent

The name Tancred comes from the Norse name Tankråd. (thought) and -rath (counsel), meaning "well-thought advice". Tanke is thoghts in Scandinavian still today. And Råd is advice-counsel. Thanks for a intresting video.

Good

Kilij Arslan was born 1079, not 1092 which would make him 15 when he drowned.

🔥

*Ancestor of Dr. Sara Tancredi?*

Turks had slanted oriental eyes when they first came to the Armenian highlands I wonder why they don’t anymore.

Whaaaaatt 😊

Basil the 2cnd

Antioch was cooler than Jerusalem

👍🏼

isn't nice-see-ah actually nick-eye-ah?

Hello my friend!!!! Very good your video !!! I already clicked on liked it, and I already signed up for your channel !!! When you want to visit my channel, I'll be very happy !! Big hug from your friend here from Brazil !!!!

DEUS VULT

From another priestly eye-witness of this same First Crusade(1096-99)-Fulcher of Charters we have equally if not more horrifying account of treatment of captured Muslim women.For, after initial successes, and convinced as they were righteousness of their cause, the Crusaders were puzzled by a succession of defeats, and wondered why God had abandoned them. " It was evident " , writes Fulcher, " that this had befallen us because of our sins "- especially, the sin of plundering Turkish property and Turkish women. Repenting their sin,they won a great victory, storming and taking the city of Antioch: and,this time, " when the (Turkish)women were found in their tents,the Franks did nothing evil to them except pierce their bellies with their lances. What about the Commandment: " Thou shalt not kill "? It was considered irrelevant.After all Turks were " infidels " and as the Pope had said, " an accursed race,a race wholly alienated from God " so , within the imperious and legalistic mind-frame of the time,they deserve to die-even their women and children. And yet, while priestly eye-witness chroniclers quoted above were obviously proud of the " Christian zeal " of their fellow-Crusaders, could one ever imagine Christ taking part in a Crusade, or mounting a charger in defense of Gospel of love-much less countenancing the wholesale slaughter of defenseless women and children?

Armenia💪🏼🇦🇲💪🏼

Hallo from Denmark again Great video . as I mentioned earlier in s another video . This is the golden age of the normans . Some normans had actully already tried to make a foothold in britain before 1066. In 1051 during conflict between Edward the confessor and Earl Godwin of wessex . Godwin and his family was exiled abd thief land confiscated by the Crown . Edward then invited a lot of Norman advisers into England . And some of them were trusted with the defenting the welsh border . And they built the first castles in England (moot and bailey type). LaterEarl Godwin and his sons returned with a fleet . Edward was forced to submit to the Godwin family . The Norman advisors were expelled . And the Godwin family became the de facto power behind the throne . And the border castles became property of Godwins son Harold Godwinsin . Later in 1053 Godwin died. And Harold became earl of wessex . And we know how Harold how became King in 1066 after Edwards death and the Norman invasion . But after William the conquerer became King of England . The Kings of Scotland allowed Norman knight to settle in and build castles . And if these knight were ancestor of Robert the Bruce . And when Robert the Bruce took the throne during wars with King Edward the first of England 200 years later . Normans also became Kings of Scotland . But by the 1200’es the Golden age was coming to and end. In southern The last normans ruled died out. And the daughter of one the last rulers. She married the german Emperor . And he took those lands. And in England . Almost the French lands was lost under the rule of King John . And the some of the Norman knights that came over with willlam the conquerer. They married into Anglo saxon noble families. And in time their offspring spoke English . And the Henry the fourth took the throne in 1399. The normans no longer spoke French . His crowning speach was in English . So the normans might conquered England . But the English culture and language conquered them in return .... And the normans was assimilated into the culture of the British isles ...

Love these long form videos, thanks for all of the hard work you put in!

man i love these videos. My ONLY complaint is that sometimes the maps you're displaying don't label the areas you're talking about which sometimes makes it hard to picture what is happening. I'd suggest just making sure if you mention a city it's displayed on the map at the same time. Amazing channel

See the book (the 'Alexiad') by Anna Comnena (Alexius's daughter) who met most of the leaders of the First Crusade.

scandinavian mans with french culture fights at armenian city against central asian turks hmm

hello from antioch. Turkey :D

A good video, though I think it would be interesting to learn more about the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia - the Christian island in the sea of Muslim states of the region

Love your videos thank you from Armenia 🙌

Plz Cover The Hundred Years War in its Entirety !!!!!!

The soldiers who took part in the first Crusade are all heroes. They were great warriors. God loves them.

Great video again, best and most interesting crusader series I have ever seen.

Crusading was a thriving business back then, I wonder if they were warned about the medieval industrial complex?

Can voices of the past do a voice over of Anna Komnenos’ description of Bohemond?

1097 Dorylaeum Battle: Clash of Titans... Best the East has to offer (Seljuk Turcomans) vs. The Best of the West (Normans). Respect.

Good content. Just make audio better? And you’re 10/10. 8/10 for now and a new sub and fan.

You see Smar ok am ok You and diand Old ok ZullaLlah Amah and zatu and malliA

Are some of the visuals you used from the bayeux tapestry? It's a fun little reference to the norman connection in england and Italy if so, lol.

History is the study of human thought and human action up until now. Interpret it as you will, and better yourself with that knowledge, because you and I - everyone - will ultimately become a part of history itself.

Tancred, Tancred!

I'm always exited to see one of your videos

It's always a Roger

O miniton Supar Hero

Your quality has shot up to the point that I now place you among the very best history tubers. Your videos have excellent detail, objectivity and wide span while not loosing focus.

I'm liking the maps.

Christians were not massacred in Jerusalem, the local Christians were expelled from Jerusalem when the crusaders got closer because the Fatimide governor suspected that they would help the crusaders.

Love the long episodes.

Once again we gunna learn some good STUFF!!!

Ahh the crusade a classic

Hey! great videos. I hate to be the one nitpicking, but it's Tàranto, not Tarànto.

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’. Ralph

the code isnt THAT exclusive if JaysTwoCents had the same promo code for Warships

This guy is really capable but it’s prob good he died young. If he had to fight with Saladin, he would lose anyway

I recently began to take a interest of my families history, and Found Tancred as one of my Distant Relatives, Thank you for making this video as I cant find much of his history beyond what I already know.

Love the vids. Music gets a bit loud between the spoken sections.

Thanks....

This is great! I’m a direct descendant of Tancred (my great uncle still holds the name) and shows the same courage and intelligence (1800’s are known as Australian self made royalist too)

And greeks says westerners never helped them agianst muslims

Thanks. Great documentary. As Pope Pius V says Catholic Kingdom of Jerusalem fell because of the division among Christians.

Excellent video as usual.

16:40 Alexios showered the Crusaders in coins and precious gifts after the city was taken. Even the average peasant got money from him, so the Normans were just mad because they knew it was going to be difficult to claim lands for themselves.

The ending was so anti climactic bro! You give us all that Milk and just cut us off the nipple:) brilliant content!!! History Time is a stud

Tancred is a boss.

Good show = very imformative

Please shut down the loud üMUSIC which makes Your presentation incomprehensible .! We are not decerebrated and do NOT need MUSIC during an historical presentation !
