WATCH PART 2 HERE: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZtRihN1p0LyYlIk.html As this video seems to be getting attention, I just wanted to thank you all again for watching! I really appreciate your kind comments. If you have any suggestions, please let me know! Also, I included a portrait of 'Baldwin II' instead of 'Baldwin I' when talking about the Order of the Holy Sepulchre. Apologies.

The knights Hospitals still exist, though more commonly known as the Knights of Malta

The Knights Templar continued in Portugal. The then King of Portugal had their name changed to the Order of Christ, thus avoiding the persecution from the pope. “Nope, we totally don’t have Templars in these parts, move along”.

I would say that the Order of Santiago was the most successful in fulfilling its mission, because they restored Christianity in the Iberian Peninsula.

Crusaders are just the coolest knights possible

This is the best quick explanation of the crusader orders I have ever seen. Great job!

You missed one order, which is the „Livonian Brothers of the Sword“ they look similar to the Knights of Dobryn, but are a different German Order, who also later joined the Teutonic Knights.

Great video! Maybe for the 2.0 version include what happened with the Knights Hospitaliers and how they are incredibly active to this day, even as a member of the UN (United Nations - Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta). When the Order split during the reformation the protestant arms became the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem (Anglican arm and a Knightly order under the British crown to this day and a vast first aid organisation). Another part became the Bailiwick of Brandenburg of the Chivalric Order of Saint John of the Hospital at Jerusalem (Protestant arm), Commenderij Nederland van de Balije Brandenburg der Johanniter Orde (Dutch Reformed arm) and the Johanniterorden i Sverige (Lutheran arm). Equally interesting is that Napoleon dissolved the order after seizing their land (Malta). What survived and remained of the Order fled, in part, to Russia where Tsar Paul I, intrigued by the chivalric and religious nature of the order, offered them protection. He even went as far as becoming a Grand Master of a Russian priory of the order. The West hated this then, and hates it today, and you'll find various sites of the Catholic/Protestant Orders mentioned 'fake' or 'Quasi' Orders pretending to be Successors. The politics and strife lives on and is worth mentioning, I think!

A note on the *_Knights Templar_* . In Portugal, in recognition and reward for their vital services in the Reconquista, King D. Dinis, while abolishing the local chapter(s), had the members and assets be transfered to a new order created specifically for this purpose, the *_Order of Christ_* . Excelent video.

Livonian brothers of the sword conquered Estonia and Lativa, later merged with Teutonic Order after being defeated in the battle of Saule, with its majority of the German knights were killed

As a knight of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, I will compliment your brief description of our order. To this day we still defend Churches, especially of the Holy Land, where we are the main provider of funding for the parishes and Christian schools there. God bless.

I'm pretty sure the Hospitalers are still operating.

clicked randomly not even paying attention to the channel maker. Good job, sir! I definitely was surprised when I looked down after finishing the video and saw that you are apparently still a newer channel. With production quality like this, I opine that, growth will coming to the channel a lot! Even only one random viewer, I personally greatly appreciate attention to production quality no matter how large or small the video maker!

I truly enjoyed the info on the different factions of crusaders!!

This is great. Thanks for making such a succinct and well-presented video. Definitely got a new subscriber from it.

This is a really good video - I hope you continue to produce material! I'll be happy to subscribe and follow your development. Good luck!

Very interesting, glad youtube recommended this. Seems like this video blew, keep the good work!

thanks for the vid Based Plato. sick channel, keep it up

Great Video, I was really happy to see lesser known crusader orders👏👏😃

Superb video! Very clear, concise and informative overview. Glad to have found your channel; please consider making one of the various Christian denominations? 🙂

thanks bro this is very helpful and informative

Love the video but I would looooove to see you do a longer deep dive on knights, I'm all about listening to long videos while gaming and such :)

This is PERFECTION. I need KZfaq recommend me more vids like this.

I enjoyed your video and appreciate the effort you put in making it , so I subscribed as a thank you . 🤘🤖🤘

There exists a cavalry regiment in the Spanish Army named after and with all the historical bagage of the Order of Alcántara. It was given Spain’s highest military decoration, known as Cruz Laureada de San Fernando, or Laureate Cross of Saint Ferdinand, for actions that took place on the Spanish invasion of Morroco in 1921.

I enjoyed this. Ty for the Educational experience look forward to hearing more.

Excellent video. We shall watch your career with great interest

clicked in the video, very good production. Going to subscribe to be able to say "i was here before 10k subscribers"

Very good video, straight to the point, information is expressed in a way to where it doesn't sound like a lecture and instead a fun video I want to watch.

2:39 So that is the reason why the emblem of the Medical corps of the Spanish armed forces is precisely the cross of the Knights Hospitaller.

Great vid thank you 🙏 & a new sub 👍

Love these videos! Never knew there were sooo many Military Orders during the Crusades! As an avid DM for D&D games, these videos are genuinely inspiring! Thank you!

Brilliant video, earned yourself a sub

My primary school in Sompting, E Sussex, UK, had 4 football teams that us students were divided into, for PE. The teams were called Johnson, Hospitallers, Peverall, and Templars, (I am 58 now, so it is possible I am recalling the names not with complete accuracy). There was/is a church about 1 mile from the school that did belong to the actual Templars for a period of time.

good video deserves more views

Sounds like Warhammer 40k Chapters to me

There is something so valiant about The Order of St. Lazarus - a band of noble men, many of whom were gravely ill who fought with courage to protect and care for others.

thank you for your video, first time I see the full list of the crusader orders, and I think the most successful were the Spanish crusaders since the reconquest was a total success and the Islamic forces never tried to come back

Awesome, ive seen these symbols but never fully understood them. Thank you❤

loved this video

Interesting & informative

I never knew there was so many Orders in the Crusades! Excellent video! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was really good! You should do a video on Catholic monastic orders.

Thank you so much for this 14 holy minutes. ❤

Really appreciate the effort you went too in highlighting these orders and History. I would mention though that understanding these orders and dissolution's is far more complex than first appears. A lot of these orders still exist to day or are revered in other similar organisations. For example the Templars actually continued to exist in Portugal, Eire & Scotland (for a while - before they became parts of other holy orders). The Order of Hospitallers - Now the Order of St John (Charitable ambulance service) and Knights of Malta still exist today, they even have a museum in Ldn worth visiting if you make it to the city. Additionally the Masons still have a sect for the Order of Acre - (Order of /Knights of St Thomas Becket') Also a lot of these orders have somewhat changed hands through the turmoil of the reformation, its an interesting history and worth while spending some time to look at. I would suggest you stay away from the Neuvo formations though, they are odd and have nothing to do with the actual ancestry and heritage of the actual orders themselves.

love it thank you

The holy KZfaq Algorithm hath brought me here. You may now bask in the sheer magnificence of my very presence. Also, nice video man.

Brilliant thank you

This video deserves a sub and like

Could you provide sources for the artwork and images you used as depictions of various templars, such as the non-combatant templar brother? I love the artwork and would love to utilize it myself for my own projects.

Could there be vid. on Knight Hospitallers in more detail?

I am glad that other orders are talked about. Seems that the only knights that most people know are the Hospitalers, the Templers, and the Teutonics.

I remember that the belts of the Spanish Army uniforms had an eagle with the cross of Santiago in the center. I believe that the shield and the cross are still valid as emblems of the Spanish army

Could you go into more detail about the individual orders? Perhaps their structure, finances, training/how you became one, do any still exist and if so how are they different if they are? I found this really interesting, thanks.

just what i needed, cause generally i can only remember like 4 most of the time

Thanks for the info. Do any of these orders currently exist in the US?

Excellent video, but I'm surprised that Philip IV's role in the downfall of the Knights Templar isn't mentioned.

nice one here. I missed the order of the sword brethren, also a most germanic military order engaged in the northern crusade active in parts of todays lithuania. The order fell rival with it's former patron, the king of denmark. After their decline the remnants joined ranks with the teutonic order which then governed the land before owned by the sword brethren

No Livonian brothers of the sword?

😎AWESOME AWESOME VID😎

Great video. When talking about the Teutonic Knights, you should have mentioned the Livonian Sword Brothers as well (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livonian_Brothers_of_the_Sword)

Every Order formed in Spain during the Reconquista still exists, the only thing that changed is that after the Reconquista, the King of Spain Fernando the II of Aragon, known as the Catholic King, was appointed as the Grand Master of every order. That tradition persists nowadays, being the Grand Master of every order our king Felipe VI of Spain.

One of the sites held by The Order of Saint Lazarus was at Burton Lazars in Leicestershire. The leprosy hospital was opened i the 12th century and the vilkag3e of Burton got the word Lazar appended to its name.

Christ is risen! Alleluia

Interesting, 😎 cool video

Don’t forget the Knights of Columbus, an organization that helps out with Church fish fries during Lent.

knights templar gets immediately reminded of assassins' creed

Funny, I actually work and live close to Dobrzyń, but I have never heard of Brothers of Dobrzyń. I guess we learn something every day ;)

Imagine AR-15 Knights in 2024

GREAT SHOW I ONLY KNEW ABOUT KNIGHTS TEMPLAR VERY INFORMATIVE

Interesting ty

i love the background halo music. haha i know i know it’s not halo music. but it is!😅

Traditional Catholic here. Loved the video! I just went to a Renaissance fair dressed as a canon regular of the Holy Sepulcher. Shame that they died out in the 1800s. Amazing to see them mentioned here

My ancestor was actually a Grandmaster in the Order of Christ, a sort of offshoot Knights Templar who kept going. He was before Henry the Navigators time, and his son was a crewman and friend to the Prince who himself became Grandmaster. Order of Christ still exists as a recognition of outstanding state service to Portugal. Its sort of the Portuguese Medal of Honor.

Bro that first order goes sooo hard I started cry for some reason

Did now know I needed to know this, but now I know

The Knights Templar did not end, the few who managed to escape the executions were protected by King Denis I of Portugal and became the Order of Christ, which centuries later played an important role on the explorations and discovery of the Americas

One thing you missed about the Hospitallers was that they would allow women to join the order and teach them as they would the men for the hospital side of the order.

The name Calatrava survives today in a type of watch by Patek-Phillipe.

Divine Love

One of the most informative video I found on the internet

Great content. Well worth a sub.

The German Order/Teutonic Order is still active. Why no mention of the Knights of the Military Order of the Red Cross and Red Star? Another Crusader Order based in Praha.

The Knights Hospitaller is basically still a big Order today called Johanniter.

Thanks for the video, but you mentioned that the Hospitallers were Catholic, but weren't they all?

I love how the knights hospitallet are still around and are basically the smallest country in the world

Music in background?

Saladdin was cool af

what happend with the Orden de Cristo from portugal 😮????

Wow! Can you make more videos like this? 😊

What about the Livonian order? Or the Knights of st. John?

Fun fact: To this day medical clinics in Sweden are called "Lasarett"- this is probably from the knight order of Lazarus mentioned in the vid.

Sounds like they are all going to fight Diablo.

There exists an order named The Order of Christ in Portugal, it was formed out of all of the Templars that fled to Portugal, as its king was a supporter of the order. It is very important to world history, as most of the Spanish and Portuguese explorers who went to America and Africa were part of the Order. Even Colon married into the order while he was in Portugal. Another important member was the father of Miguel de Cervantes, the author of El Quijote de la Mancha. Arguably one of the most important books in world history.

I keep seeing things suggesting that the Santiago was the knight templer in well hiding and re name.

All together there were 20 Military Orders of Crusader Knights. The 1st being the Knights of St. James of Altopascio, founded in 1070. I would like to know as much about this Order as possible; because a lot of the symbolism from this Order, appears on my Family's Coat of Arms!!! Even though this Order started in Northwestern Italy; however my surname is Lupton, from England

Your daily reminder that the crusades were necessary, justified, and based af.

You missed the fact that many of the knights of St Lazarus were inflicted with leprosy. Most of those knights came out of other orders. But if leprosy was discovered they were transferred to Lazarus order. Their green cross instilled fear towards their enemies. They knew the knights fought till the end cause they had nothing to lose and also the fear of being infected with leprosy had a psychological impact.
