The First Crusade - A Complete History (All Parts)

Old school viewers of Epic History TV will know that we released our First Crusade series all the way back in 2017, but a compilation video seems to be the most popular way to watch a series these days, so here it is! I hope you enjoy our coverage of the extraordinary events of the first and most successful of Crusades - whether it's your first time, repeat viewing, or last time you only got as far as Antioch... Don't forget Patreon is the place to get ad-free early access to all our videos, as well as a say in what we do next.. www.patreon.com/EpicHistoryTV

This is what the History channel looked like before Bigfoot and UFOs took over. Great content!

“Barbaric but not unique for the age” I haven’t been moved emotionally by a documentary scenes like these . Truly it’s a masterpiece 👌🏼.

THIS man speaking could easily rally Christendom into another Crusade ! The passion and charisma is insane ! I want to go on a crusade now! He's captured my medieval imagination like no other !

"Barbaric, but not unique for the age".....powerful line and very true.

It is so cool to see accurate models of cities like Antioch and Jerusalem complete with terrain. It gives such a better understanding of the battles!

Bohemond of Taranto is gotta be one of the most badass names I ever heard

Most of your series stood the test of time.This one is certainly one of them. The gritty music played in low notes really gives you that medieval feel of the dark ages

I enjoy this "All Parts" format a lot. Such high quality content. Congrats Epic History TV. 😃

A lot of older knights went on the Crusades, knowing that they wouldn't be coming back. As for the younger knights, it was the perfect opportunity for those looking for promotions, or looking to earn their knighthood by combat. Common fighters who had been trained for combat, but didn't have titles, went along expecting to come back as "Sir."

You have to remember by the time the crusaders got to Jerusalem. They were already battle hardened basically all of them were skillful knights, letholdus was the first knight to scale the walls, its said he was a massive 7'4"(insane for the time) and just by the sight of him in full plate armor was enough to scare the defenders into retreating off the walls

“When they ran out of food in Hungary…” Gods got a sense of humour, alright.

Epic History is pure gold. I never cared for the Napoleonic Wars era but you had me completely hooked. Would LOVE to see more ancient history from this channel, even a deep dive on Caesar would be amazing

Excellent documentary. If only school could’ve been that engaging and interesting. Excellent graphics and editing as well. Subscribed.

Love it how channels like this still have faith in humanity. There is a thirst for knowledge out there. Big up the history casuals like me. Keep up the good work.

Considering Kings and Generals just started their First Crusade series, this feels like Barca vs Real Madrid level shithousery 😍

These are great. A nice easy way to get an overview of historical events. The visuals are awesome and the entire presentation easy to digest. Great work!
