The conflict was an attempt by western European kingdoms to regain control over the Crusader states, most importantly the kingdom of Jerusalem, which were lost to the Ayyubid Sultan, Saladin in the aftermath of the Battle of Hattin (1187).

This is how history classes should be taught, instead of forced memorizing historical dates. Whoever thought and made this format, did an amazing job.

I'm really glad you make these long-form versions, without the ads. They are your eternal masterpieces.

Had me engrossed for an hour and a half, absolutely amazing work that you won't see on regular TV. thank you.

Richard deserves consideration as one of the great commanders of his age, especially from a logistical perspective.

Imagine a king that swings a battle ax while leading his troops. Richard truly was a great commander and warrior

Ya I agree, no other leader came to help Saladin but he did receive reinforcements. Like the time his army retreated and he raced ahead the get food and supplies ready for them, shows the type of guy he was. Richard had funds granted. But to travel so far in the time that it was and to put up a solid fight was impressive. Both had respect for each other. So sad that the holy land is still being fought over.

Dunno if you'll see this comment, but I really love your 1+ hour videos of entire campaigns, and seeing the outcomes of entire factions, instead of the ones in a single battle. I really hope that, despite how much time and energy it takes to make long videos like these, you will continue to put together long videos like these, whether making series of your existing videos, or brand new ones. Thank you for making this video... I really enjoyed it.

Guys, I want to see the scale measure on the maps, when they zoom in or zoom out. It would be great to see the size and distances. If you agree with this, please thumbs up. Perhaps History Marche group will notice!

Thanks for your hard work HM! love this third Crusade series!

History Marche channel is always introducing informative and incredible historical coverage episodes

I seriously couldn't stop watching this. So engaging! The visual and oral teaching with the consistent reminder of dates was really absorbing. I fully comprehend the events of the 3rd Crusade.

I love the crusades, history is just so interesting

Incredibly engaging. Great men once walked the earth.. Worth seeing again and again.

What a formidable leader!Indomitable, courageous, passionate, yet planner, realistic and rational. Able to talk to the elite as well as to the soldiers. The lion heart representes the archetype of the medieval King

First time I’ve come across this channel. Left a comment & 👍 as a sacrifice to the algorithm. I 0:10 listened to the whole episode in 1 go while cooking & tinkering, the time flew by because Inwas immersed in the narrative.

Amazing. This channel is doing some amazing work. That was as good as watching a movie and I'm super glad to finally understand the greatness of Richard lionheart on field.

My humble offering to the algorithm Well done!

It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage episode about 3rd Crusaders. Shared by an amazing ( History Marche) channel....thank you for sharing

LOVE these videos!!!! BEST on RU-vid, BY A LOT!!!

Awesome content love all your videos....hope to see more of these videos!

Love your content, the effort put into these is amazing. Keep it up ❤

I love to watch your content it's by far the best on RU-vid thanks for the hard work you do for us all to enjoy much appreciated 👍❤

Yet another great Saturday video from history marche while i enjoy my coffee cheers

When Christians were Christians. Strong and fought for their belief in God and The Holy Land. As a Muslim I respect that. These were formidable opponents.

Thank you for the video! Amazing story telling! Subscribed and going to see more of your content!

Pour l'algorithme. Thank you for all your work, your videos deserve way more views.

As always, an excellent long-form video. Just as with each of the parts, the content is superb, striking a perfect balance between entertainment and straightforward information. Thank you for all of your hard work! Armchair historians like myself much appreciate the ability to get solid refreshers on topics we've not studied for a time, or to get primed for our own deep dives into the annals of military history.

Any place of learning teaching the history of crusades should make watching your videos a requirement. Excellent job guys. Really. Top to bottom A-Z you guys knocked it out of the park with your seires.

Your Work is just next-level. Skillfully done!! Thank You!!!!!

Thank you for bringing and dishing history at its best... Looking for ways to support this venture. Majorly this characterized determination, resilience, faith and honour among oppositions

LOVE your compilations man!❤❤❤ (Daniel here! Accouny once more with problems!)

Richard was a total bad ass.

That was awesome, thank you very much!

Very informative. I am glad to have these videos.

Incredible documentary!

The narration here is one of the best in RU-vid: clear intonation and articulation and with passion.

Great program. Thank you. 👏👏👏

Love the video, regret looking in the comments section lol

Thank you for all parts combined. Much appreciated.

This was really a fantastic video, with much history I didn't know about. The details are really amazing good.

so glad i ran into this finally an hour and half of something useful on youtube to watch thank you i enjoyed this

That was great, thanks :-)

LOVED the documentary man! You're as amazing as ever! And please continúe your reconquista videos with the likes of James I the Conqueror and Ferndinand III the Saint!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Historymash has again presented another epic long documentary in their usual excellent and intelligent fashion. I so much enjoy that I couldn't tell when the 1 hour+ video ended. Thank you historymash

That was absolutely fascinating 👍👍 , thank you 🌞🌞🙏🙏

Great Documentary. Bloody french not helping out again

King Richard !!! Such a badass

Outstanding content as always 👌

Realy good docu ,history! 1 and half hour ! Great video!!!!

What a TIME to LIVE!!!👊👍✌EVERLASTING GLORY to ALL CRUSADERS all over the Europe!💪

What an incredible video to remember old times! I miss my brothers from the crusades

THIS IS AWESOME!!! i just found my favorite show. MORE PLEASE!!

Excellent work!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this history lesson!!

Merci pour ces documentaires...trop cool.....je kiffe..et quel courage avait ces types a l'époque par rapport aux lavettes que l'on est devenu 😢

That quote on the video was well put - When men became beasts, this was a well done series

Nice one -- love the (longer) ones, where you can really sit back and listen...

Hey my brother I must say I truly enjoy your history research narrative and expository telling. The fact that you pronounce place names correctly as they were called in that time period shows the depth and accuracy of research you bring to your program and each individual episode. I especially appreciate your understanding of the relationship between Richard and Saladin. Given my understanding of human nature I would venture to say they both the respected and appreciated each other more than they did their backstabbing half-stepping countrymen and so-called allies. Yeah both of them were betrayed by their so-called allies, Richard by French allis and Saladin by his Emirs . I do believe both of those leaders were men of God following their God the god of their understanding to the best of their ability with honor and chivalry. I salute your effort as a historian and truly appreciate what I see plainly and clearly as your labor of love. Bon vie Mon ami 😊

ty for this amazing video i really enjoyed it!

This is just too well detailed

HistoryMarche, there are more two parts battles to combine on video to make such as: Battle of the three kings, 1578 AD First Battle of Tarain, 1191 AD ⚔ The First Islamic Conquest of India and Second Battle of Tarain, 1192 AD ⚔ Muhammad of Ghor Returns. Battle of Targoviste, 1462 AD Battle of Cynoscephalae, 197 BC Alfred The Great Battle of Ashdown and Edington. I hope you can voice and narrate the battle of Targoviste that would be awesome to see your next video. And I hope you narrate the first part of How did Rome Conquer Italy? the Battle of Cynoschephalae, 197 BC by Knowledgia when you combine the second part of the video.

Comendations for all the work put into these episodes; they make learning history and the characters that push history come alive.

That was really good the way you made the video showing the details of the battles

"The Lion Awakens!" should be the Dark Angels' new warcry.

That was awesome

Thank you so much for your work!

Thanks for this long chapter; dividing those chapters on battles doesn't allow us to understand the complex situation of the conflict and the politics.

Man, the way I learned about Richard in school and movies I thought he was just a drunk loser who got captured one time. Turns out like most things in life , the truth is much more fascinating and inspiring.

A great overview of the 3rd Crusade!

Thank you for this. I freakin love this point in history.

قناة رائعة...👏👏👏👏

Love these vids...so facinatinating

Thank you for the well presented history lesson.

Занятно!

Thanks for your gigantic efforts to unleash the greatness of the history, what a heroic legacy was built by these relentless men.

Sacrifice to the algorithm! 🍻

Very informative, thank you.

great work guys, as a history junky - hats off, as a graphic designer - the most beautiful info graphic ever, as a non native English speaker - you have the best narrator ever - cheers :)

A really exciting narrative. I realise how strange our vision of nationalities for these characters is . "King of France" : "France" is only a region around Paris; this part speaks french....but the rest speaks provencals, flemish (Belgians or netherland ?) , Lorrain (oh ! maybe they are german !). Richard king of England...but his mother and his father were fren....oh no ! they spoke occitan. He had probably a high number of occiitans than Brittish in his army as he ruled over twice more "french" than "english". Guy de Lusignan speaks french, i believ but he is the former king of ...Jerusalem. The only thing that counts is the title, the higher they had and it is not representative of todays geogrphy. Ah never forget that all these guys are rivals .

So proud to be related to Richard and the Angevin line

Awesome, tanks for another great video

Great video. Thank you, Cheer from Finland.

The fact that Saladin, on home field, couldn't defeat the malnourished and ill-supplied English goes to show that he was never a great military leader. The "Christian" nations were their own worst enemies.

Is there a way to tell if these were previously uploaded separate or if this is all new content? I wanna watch but don’t wanna rewatch old episodes 😭

Thank you 💛 so very much for this excellent history lesson. I wish my teachers in school could have done half the job as well as you have laid it all out. Thank you 💛 again. I enjoyed watching this fine work Sir.

Incredible work and research went into this production, well done and thank you. If this crusade is not taught at military academy's and command schools it should be.

Perfect to watch when coming home drunk af.

Salahuddin Al Ayubi was so respected that even his enemies praised and honored him. History was written for proof by the opponents themselves.

Great work !!!

HistoryMarche i love your work, can you pls cover some more crusades? That'll be lovely

Third crusade was a draw in my opinion. Whereas the Christians won the first and Muslims the second, both parties achieved success in the 3rd. Barbarossa whooped the Seljuks and Lionheart bested Saladin twice due to superior tactics and leadership. But the ultimate prize of Jerusalem was still in Muslims hands, so the crusade was only a partial success.

Men became beasts?? People forget, the crusades was a response to beasts aggression. It wasn't the initiative, it was the response.

Waiting for other crusades, btw nice video!

Incredible video. Great job.

Great respect to Salahudin Al Ayubi

Saladin took many slaves in jerusalem. Dont whitewhash him.

Watched the full documentary.. Richard the lion 🦁 heart 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I watched the whole video. Its truly a masterpiece.

As Muslim I greet your historical unbiased and I would say that even if Muslims did bad things after it is wars and history must be said without disturbing no matter
