Excellent video! Alexios Komnenos had to deal with a state in the brink of the absolute destruction, with enemies attacking from evrywhere, when he came to power, and then with patience, wise strategy, and incredible diplomacy, succeded not only to save the Eastern Roman Empire but also restoring many lost terriories. And 19 years after Dorylaeum, Alexios, even if he was now old and with problems with his health (suffering by arthritis), he will soundly defeat the Seljuks in the Battle of Philomelion in 1116 AD, by using the battle formation known as "parataxis" similar to the one that Xenophon used in antiquity, during the March of the 10.000. One of the greatest emperors!

@constantinosvarsos9402 Рік тому

Just a clarification, in 15:52 it is correctly said that the "Seljuks was a minority in every city in Anatolia". The Seljuks were the military occupants of this area and had a near-zero non-military Seljuk population in this. The population, especially in Western, and coastal Asia Minor, was predominantly Greek.

@alexioskomnenos5290 Рік тому

Also a clarification; at the time, the Greeks called themselves Roman, and had a Roman civic identity. Famously put by Anna Komnena, Greek was their language, Christianity was the religion, and they were Roman as a genos (alongside the other minorities in the Empire like Bulgars, Slavs, Armenians, Jews and etc). So they in their own minds considered themselves the heirs of the Romans and the Greeks. (For instance, see Romanland: Ethnicity and Empire in Byzantium by Anthony Kaldellis).

@gilpaubelid3780 Рік тому

@@alexioskomnenos5290 Also "Roman" during the byzantine period became a Greek ethnonym and was used as another word for Greek (together with Graikos and Hellen) something that we can see both in the byzantine lexica and in the byzantine sources where the words Greeks and Romans are used interchangeably as synonyms. In other words the term "Roman" had multiple definitions during the byzantine period and could mean : 1)someone with Roman citizenship regardless of ethnicity 2)the ethnically Greek 3)Latin roman/ancient Roman 4)follower of the Roman church. Byzantines considered themselves descendants of the ancient Greeks (not the Latin Romans) and political heirs of the Roman state. As Joseph I Galesiotes said: They were Greeks in genos that called themselves Romans because of New Rome (Constantinople) ("Έλληνες όντες τω γένει, ρωμαίους εαυτούς ονομάζομεν, και αληθώς γε μην· εκ γαρ της Νέας Ρώμης η παρωνυμία αύτη προσκεκλήρωται ημίν" "Έλληνες όντες). As for Romanland, it's a book that support some pretty extreme theories that have been rejected by the majority of historians.

The Anatolian Seljuk Sultan Kılıçarslan I should be admired for his bravery, he was only 17 years old at this battle. His Sultanate was only 10 years old and yet he was trying to defend his newly built sultanate from this unexpected invasion and he managed that too. Although this battle did not prevent crusaders from reaching Jerusalem, they left Anatolia in a quick pace and the Anatolia he defended has become Turkey today thanks to Kılıçarslan I and his successors' efforts.

@hendrikgreiner8449 Рік тому

Not really for the higher levels of society, especially a lot of the knights involved. Europe was coming into a period where there wasn't really much land avaible anymore, so second or third sons were not really getting much once their fathers died. Many of those involved hoped that by claiming the Holy Land there would be a chance for them to get land, and therefore, income. Religion was a much larger catalyst for the common folk, for them it was a very big reason to join, among the lust for travel, adventure and other things everyone of us also feels. Not to say religion was no reason whatsoever for the knights and high society, but there were also very practical reasons for them to go, and wealth and prestige were certainly among the primary ones.

While continued March of the crusaders provided opportunity for further reconquest and weakening of enemy powers.

@ragael1024 Рік тому

idk about you guys, but Alexios I really made an impression on me. wow. he took the throne of a bankrupt empire, ridden by revolts and a norman invasion in the west, and the East totally lost to the turks. yet somehow managed to rebuild the economy enough to make such gifts to the crusaders that amazed them. HOW??? He made sure cities were aware of the crusading army passing through and ready to resupply it. the crusaders again were impressed, probably for them this was a logistical nightmare, but they clearly forgot that they were dealing with romans here, they practically perfected logistics centuries ago. and even after that little shit mocked him by sitting on his throne, an offense anyone else would have hanged him for, Alexios proved to be the better man, inviting the fool for a drink and advising him on the enemy tactics. Lastly, he managed to repel the normans, cumans, pechenegs, turks... with no shortage of military skill. sure, he was no Caesar, but damn... no man was more worthy of being called Emperor of romans in those days.

Interesting. I didn't know there was a city name Philadelphia in Anatolia. I wonder if this is where the city of Philadelphia (or Philly) in Pennsylvania came from?

@LuisBrito-ly1ko Рік тому

Yes. In fact, there were a number of cities named Philadelphia during the Greek and Roman Periods. It was chosen because it means “Brotherly Love” in Ancient Greek, and Penn, the founder, wanted the city to be a place where everybody could worship freely.

It's a Greek name

Just imagine if they had taken the middle rout and captured the rum capital, could have ended a major thorn in the Byzantines side and possibly could have prevented an ottoman surge

I mean the turks where very decentralized if the capital fell the tribal power structure of the turks wouldn't

In Third Crusade, Frederick I captured new Seljuk capital Konya. However, faith of Byzantines didn't change.

@v4enthusiast541 Рік тому

There was no point to that, it would be pointless trying to take a central position on the Anatolian plain. Eventually it would get surrounded, isolated, and besieged by the decentralized turks. This is why Byzantine strategy was to target the 4 corners of the plain, from there they could control access to the plain and slowly attrition the Turks that were on the plain.
