The Franks were oath-bound to turn over any liberated Roman territories (so all territories in question), but in the end the only Frank who tried to keep the oath was the one Frank who didn't actually take it, while every Frank who took the oath betrayed it. IMO the Romans were wise to arrange the surrender of Nicaea before the crusaders could win it by assault, and only Bohemond's eventual (and inevitable) treachery prevented the crusade from actually accomplishing its goals.

One thing that you failed to mention is that Tancred, in what might be a planned strategy, left Constantinople WITHOUT swearing the oath to return all lands to Alexios. Therefore, everything that he and Bohemont conquered, could be taken for themselves without being called oathbreakers. Also there was no mention that, after the taking of Nicea, Alexios sent a fresh offering of gifts to the Crusaders, to compensate for the lack of sacking of the just taken city.

Man it really wasn't just the 4th crusade. Even the first crusade where terrible from the very beginning, long before they ever became desperate.

you never hear about these negotiations and fighting in other Crusade documentaries. Turns out the Crusaders from the first were just as deceitful as the fourth

Great video, but it will be better if you write the name of the soundtracks from Crusader kings 2.

Pronunciation Note: "French" of this time was Middle French or earlier, in which the final consonant was still voiced. Thus Robert of Normandy pronounced his name with the same last syllable ("bert") as it would be in English, not Modern French. Similarly, Bishop Adhemars still pronounced the final 's' in his name.

Am I the only one who was distracted by the 15th/16th century troops shown at 0:17 - 0:21? So early on it felt jarring, but perhaps that's just me. Also, how many of us said "but why let (fill in the blank) get in the way of a good crusade?"

Aside from Kievan Rus' and the Eastern Roman Empire, does the Kingdom of Georgia can be considered as the Eastern Christian Orthodox country? Now that I mentioned it like this, why does this kingdom often being ignored when it comes to diplomacy with Christian Europe in both Middle Ages and Early Modern Period?
@domain6491 Рік тому
It definatley was and still is Orthodox christian country!Certainly there was a sort of diplomacy between crusaders and Georgian king!Right at this time and with the start of crusades King David IV stopped being vassal of the selchuks and regained Kingdoms independence.King also had Diplomatic relation with Baldvin II!In 1121 There were 100 Crusaders fighting on the side of Georgians against selchuks!After that there were many attemps of Georgians and Armenians to Join the Crusades but all of them failed!

The reason why is that georgia (and to a larger extent armenia) were more dependant on their other neighbours than the european states. Malek Shah's second son, Mohammed, was named prince of azerbaijan and tabriz and as a result maintained a strong hold on georgia, even after he ascended to the throne of the great seljuks, and so did the successors, be they seljuk or not, as they needed to keep an eye on georgia to block any raiding nomads since the conquest of anatolia generated so much wealth and drove trade to the region. The only reason georgia survived as a christian state was that the other muslim powers saw it better to keep an alien power as a border guard then try to take over the land and forcefully convert the people, and suffer rebellion in addition to the threat of the georgians undermining the guarrissons. This is why georgia today is different from historical georgia ( parts of the population converted to islam) but is still mostly orthodox christian.

@@thestatistician6076 no. That's not true st all. Many states attempted to conquer and Islamize not to mention genocide us. The problem with that is the same problem you have with Afghanistan. Georgia has some of the most formidable mountains dividing fertile valleys. Its really hard to fully occupy and very expensive.

@@thestatistician6076 You are somewhat true but Georgia was nit dependent in their neighbors since there were Muslim states sure there was Byzantine empire but during the Reign of David IV Georgia stooped being a small kingdom it became the greatest Cristian kingdom in East the golden age continued during the reign of Tamar also saying they never tried to forcefully converting it is stupid because there were many Attempts but they failed because Georgian kingdoms were Lets just say "too angry to die" or something like that Like Timur raided Georgia 8 Times Because Georgia was a Cristian state (and for other reasons) also Shah Abbas I who Killed half of Eastern Georgia's population and want it to integrate In to he's realm and only stooped because Georgian Noble's and kings wont stop revolting every year. also Majority of Muslims in Georgia are Azerbaijani Turks
