Quick question, how did Latins in outremer generally view mamlukes. Was there every any pitty for them considering most were once Christian or did they see them similar to how Saracens saw Templars?

Hi, I like the work you do. Thank you for doing it. If I'd like to learn more about the religios practices of the templar and other similar orders, what would be a good source? Not the history, not the fighting, but the religious practices.

Are you getting this from books, if so which ones? Would be fascinating to go through this stuff in more depth!

he was already controling the region of lisbon since 1140, when the first attempt to conquer the city failed, the arabs payed him a tribute since 1142 not to raid the region, he was very active and the arabs had lost its control since that time. it was a matter of time (when more "crusaders" passed ) till lisbon fell into Afonso hands.

It is in fact a competent resume of some major historical facts but know this Spain was yet to be so you must say The Castillans not the spanish

Same here I was shooketh

Ahh thanks for the heads up

It was a foreshadow of the "cries of anguish as the section of wall fell".

Because ignorance we a small nation its why

History is written by the victors. The de facto victors of our times would be the offshoots of the british empire, and by virtue of interaction with the US in its early history...the spanish empire also got some limelight in american history books (and americans are really the storytellers of our time)..

@@jeanlundi2141 it not Americans the controllers that control America and all western Counties are the owner/controllers of the Central Bank. They've controlled the world or steered for there interest and to keep the common wealth enslaved

Que exagero!

it probably helps that there was a strong christian power in the region back then, as opposed to Damascus where the muslims had consolidated their power and done away with all christian claimants to power.

Reconquering north africa? Since when we owned nort africa. As far i now ceuta whas the first time we owned something in NA before that dom sebastião tried it once but failed. Am i missing something? The last time North africa was christian was in the roman empire.

Tânger, Tetouan, Mazagao, Assila e mais alguma praças marroquinas foram portuguesas por muitos anos. Apenas Fez , Meknes, Marrakesh nunca foram conquistadas. Onde as várias dinastias marroquinas se refúgiavam dos nossos ataques. Depois os espanhóis e franceses tomaram conta daquilo.

leandro rodrigues e Ceuta foi em 1415. Alcácer Kibir foi em 1578... ou seja foi depois. E já controlávamos outras cidades e praças africanas e marroquinas incluídas.

@@hjs8092 Portugal gave Tanger to the British as wedding douty in the 17th century

Many countries started as an idea in the mind of a secret-ish group of people. The USA too was devised by a few.

All it takes is a little lol I'm half Portuguese our blood runs hot

@@geewhiz5926 I did a DNA and found out that my top result was Portuguese. I’m very curious to learn about our Fatherland

@@uptown_rider8078 we call our nation the Fatherland brother plenty to be proud of we're one of the oldest countries in Europe with the oldest borders we're the first European country to be a global super power with a vast empire spanning from east to west lasting from its beginning right after the Reconquista all the to 1999 or 2002 regarding both Macao and east Timor there is so much rich history and culture we were in full out war with the Ottoman empire fighting proxy wars against them as well. We're a mix of Celtic and Germanic.

@@geewhiz5926 My mistake brother, I went back and fixed that. I’m definitely proud of our Portuguese culture, history, and heritage. I’ve been wanting to learn more about our ancestors, and our great nation when I found out that Portuguese was my top result in the DNA test. I love the mix of Celtic and Germanic too, I just feel so connected to the music, the culture, and the Portuguese people. I’d love to learn more about our people, if you can tell me more.

My last name is Henriques. My husband's father came from Portugal in 1930. Guess he had royal blood.....

Thank you for posting this comment. I love Portugal and its history, and yes, it is tough to find good source material on Portugal. I'm always on the look out for good books that deal with Portugal.

@@RealCrusadesHistory God bless you for your work, sir

M Ra They’ve been in Portugal since 1128. Educated our first king, Alfonso I and with him participated in the “Reconquista”. In return, they were given 1/3 of the Portuguese total territory and the city of Tomar became their headquarters. When they returned to Portugal after being prosecuted in France in the 14th century, they financed the Portuguese “Age of Discovery” with not only money but knowledge (ship building techniques, Star-oriented navigation they had learned from the Muslims, etc) They made all the difference

@@BrunoDeMarques Não, não educaram. Afonso Henriques foi educado por Egas Moniz e pelo Arcebispo de Braga. O terço do territorio que foi entregue aos templarios era essencialmente territorio de fronteira (nessa altura a nossa fronteira era no Tejo) e que lhes foi entregue para propósitos de defesa. Esse territorio nunca foi entregue para pagar a "educação" dele

Sergio Silva De facto. A minha ideia não era que o território era em troca da educação. E quando refiro educação, refiro que terão tido influência na sua educação “bélica”, até porque se diz que D. AH os considerava como irmãos (de armas, certamente) E o território foi de fato dado na condição de o defenderem, para proveito do próprio ... Outro tema: É interessante que não se refira a influência dos Templários na tomada de Lisboa especificamente. Apenas de Cruzados Ingleses, Normandos, Alemães (de Colónia) e Países Baixos. O Sérgio tem alguma informação sobre isto?

@@BrunoDeMarques ​ Compreendo. Peço desculpa pelo meu lapso mas ao ler o seu comentario fiquei com essa impressão. No entanto continuo a manter a minha posição. A educação bélica de que estávamos a falar foi da responsabilidade de Egas Moniz e em todas as fontes que li até hoje nunca foi mencionada nenhuma participação templaria na educação de Afonso Henriques. Relativamente aos companheiros de armas de Afonso Henriques o único templario que foi um dos companheiros mais próximos de Afonso Henriques foi Gualdim Paes (que mais tarde viria a ser Grão Mestre da ordem, fundador da cidade de Tomar e que também foi responsável pela construção de muitos castelos na fronteira do rio Tejo). Relativamente a participação concreta da ordem na conquista de Lisboa tem toda razão quando diz que a participação templaria nunca foi muito mencionada. A única informação que tenho foi que Gualdim Paes participou no cerco de Lisboa mas não sei mais nada sobre o restante contingente templario. Penso que é uma tema interessante que você trouxe para a conversa e no futuro irei investigar mais sobre isso.

Sergio Silva Sergio Silva muito obrigado. Tenho ideia que Gualdim de Pais foi uma figura próxima de AH na sua infância e depois um dos seus “Paladinos” na reconquista. É que de facto os Templários, à partida, teriam de estar envolvidos na tomada de Lisboa mas nada se sabe Recomendo o livro “First Templar Nation” do Freddy Silva.

That would be fenomenal.

Cool. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.

This was indeed one of the important part in the alliance's history and birth. But of course just this wouldn't be nearly enough.

Kind of it began in the days of the Roman Empire when parts of Morocco was conquered by Rome and the conquered province was called Mauritania which in time became Morocco during the Moslem conquest.

@@carterbentonjr399 but "Morocco" is a European word, because Moroccans themselves call their country Maghreb
