The Battle of Tell Danith (1115) War For Aleppo #1 CRUSADES DOCUMENTARY
video description
It would also be desperately needed, because the only piece currently dealing with anything remotely connected to this era is a show called Resurrection: Ertugrul, about the father of the founder of the Ottoman Empire, which, while interesting, is clearly catered toward Turkish nationalists and leaves a lot of the historical minutiae out of the story in favor of cartoonish portrayals of anyone not a Turkic tribesman.
The only correction I'd make is that I think Sanjar ought be classified as the last true Great Seljuk Sultan, considering that he outlasted and outplayed all his brothers, and after his death the whole Great Seljuk empire began to finally collapse.
I'd also really like to see a series here on the Ghaznavids and Ghurids, and the evolution, from those realms, of the Delhi Sultanate, which i think deserve their own piece of the narrative, since they were historically so influential.

These early years of Crusader history really show that quality can easily beat quantity over and over again. Better armor and stronger horses will triumph even if outnumbered. I would love to know what a real Destrier horse looked like. Do you know if there is any archaeological evidence of the anatomy of Destrier war horses?

I really enjoy these videos: well made, nicely paced, enough maps and name reminders to keep the audience on track of the often complicated events, but made so that it is possible tonjust listen to the narration without watching the screen. Great for driving or walking.

We Americans love to claim that we're the melting pot of the world. But.
The Middle-East claimed that title long ago.
With exception of far eastern cultures, it seems every race of people on earth either settled or conquered the place at one point or another.

is it really fair to claim that the original inhabitants of Aleppo were arabs? I mean wasnt that land in the hands of the romans and eastern romans for almost a thousand years, and even before them the persians and greeks?

So, seeing himself surrounded by would-be invaders, Lulu gets them all to fight each other, saving the city without fighting a single battle? Talk about playing the game of thrones

Cant help but wonder: if all of that energy and manpower had gone into peaceful, creative pursuits, where would that area of the world be today?

Werent the other Latin cities also Norman? Was it simply because Antioch had better generals than Tripoli and edessa?
