Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the Roman, Byzantine and Medieval history continues with an episode on the Byzantine Reconquista – a period between the Early Muslim Expansions and the Rise of the Seljuks during which the Eastern Roman Empire managed to reconquer a number of regions under the rule of the Macedonian dynasty, as Nikephoros II Phokas, John I Tzimiskes and Basil II retook parts of the Balkans and the Middle East from the Slavs and the Arabs.

Ooo I’ve been waiting for something like this
I just wached yesterday Epic History Channel's masterpiece about Belisarius, Today continued with Kings and General's video!
The Macedonian Dynasty: The Romans Strike Back.
Wow, what an incredible story. I really love these long detailed videos, like this video and epic history tv’s Belisarius video are two of my favorite Eastern Roman Empire stories.
RISE OF KINGDOMS!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this video!
If I remember correctly that black eagle at 1:45:56 is from the intro to the first video to Manzikert you guys did right?Before the remakes I mean.
This is the content i enjoy while working
It would have been so awesome if they recaptured much of the old eastern Roman Empire
fantastic as always
Fala sobre a vida de Osman bey, suas guerras em detalhes. Que seja nos mínimos detalhes possível e pfv coloca legenda em português pfv. Muito obrigado.
Alright, time to open up eu4 and permently reverse the final decline
Anyone throwing shade at the Byzantines, remember they were the ROMAN EMPIRE. That empire was one of the most powerful longest lived states in the history of the world!
A classic King’s and Generals documentary. Well researched and presented, and much appreciated.
Looks like Nikephoros made the Amir his Manbij
Macedonian dynasty was the most successful of Eastern Roman history. Simply the best 🗡️🛡️
Just when I thought you couldn't outdo yourselves, you drop this thermobaric bomb in the midst of it all…glorious
One of the Best YouTube channels ever! I hope you Will do the Nemanjich Serbia lurels like Milutin Nemajinch or Dušan the Migthy!
There is no such city as Pereslavets. The city that is mentioned by Sviatoslav that he wanted to make his new capital was the large city and capital of Bulgaria – Preslav.
Everybody wants to
Go home after the have some nice booty 🍑
But in the far east, men who were born in the saddle with the bows in their hand had descended from their grassy steppe homelands and into the Mediterranean world
Anyone know the name of the song that plays at 1:18:12?
1:18:25 I never thought I would hear a joke about High ground and Obi-Wan crying tears of joy in a history documentary
but here we are lmao
It's A Fantástic game.
1:07:12
1:18:22 this is one of many reasons I love Kings and Generals, men/women/hermaphrodites of culture that they are 😂
OMG, please make more of the jokes like rhe Obi-wan highground joke. That was just hilarious! 😂 And thank you for your work!
Outstanding video.
There was once a dream that was Rome. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish…
Thanks To This Vídeo.
I've said it before, and in all likelihood, I will echo this sentiment many times more in the future: Kings and Generals is the greatest channel on YouTube! The quality, not to mention the sheer volume, of your content is simply unparalleled. And, for free no less? Truly, words cannot do justice to both how impressed, and how thankful, I am for the entire Kings and Generals team.
Thank you guys for all that you do in providing us with such enjoyable, quality content. And happy holidays and happy new year to you all!
Love the series!!
I do have a question though
1:22:26 – we see Kievan Rus map and on it two cities, Novgorod, which is one of the first Viking settlements in the Slavic territory and Moscow
Seeing as the year is 987, why is there Moscow on the map but not Kiev?
It is after all “Kievan Rus”
Moscow only became prominent after the Mongol invasions of 1200s and on.
During this time it is a tiny village or it may not even exist yet.
Just a little complaint, but otherwise I have thoroughly enjoyed this episode! Thank you for the hard work and so much content!!
"With enough high ground to make Obi-Wan cry tears of joy". LOL
I enjoyed the video, despite the fact that the second phase of the reconquista was at the expense of my country (Bulgaria).
