This is just great… like Great. I have never seen anything of this size before. Are you guys Historians? How can one start studying this stuff??
amazing vid
This is gold ❤
1:18:00 -'Wake up Bertrand, daddy P is talking'
lol those Byzantines fought each other more than seljuks and other outer enemies. If they were only united Byzantium would never fall
If anyone wants to have a peek at what happened just one year after this series concluded – in 1119 – google "Field of Blood" ☠
This channel is one of the best on YouTube. Absolutely legendary.
Bohemond has main character energy
I've been hoping for this! Glad to see it come to fruition! Thanks for all the work.
For the Empire for the algorithm
Romanos IV: about to go in war, which he will definitely win, and give glory to his empire*
Court: What a good day to.. PLOT AGAINST HIM!!!!!!!

The Prince’s crusade is like Lord of the Rings if Gandalf-Adhemar didn’t return from Moria.

If anyone else noticed the brief red flash at 3:17:28 and wondered what it was…it was a screen that said "Media offline" in 10 different languages. It only lasts about a quarter to half a second.
