i think he meant the first medieval mercenary company

But it was not a mercenary Company

there's a difference between mercenaries and mercenary companies

It looks like flickering torches from a distance

Pretty much ahahahah in spanish catalan folklore we have a book, "Tirant lo Blanc" about a knightly guy fighting for honor in the byzantine empire and winning the hand of a princess, when it was all about money and killing just as almost any other medieval war

okay, find one.

Got any evidence of that claim

Not our fault those cultures didn’t right anything down. It’s pathetic when other cultures hate on the west because we know and have appreciated our history for so long. We like history so much we invented archeology to learn what we didn’t know. Then we took those techniques to learn as much of world history as we can. And found the rest of the world doesn’t keep records and even care about history. Then you say we are racist because our history is known and yours is not. I find when other cultures are jealous of western culture they usually try to call us racist. And it’s everyone else in the world that is always trying to say things like we had great buildings when London was a fishing village. Making European history the benchmark culture of the world. People like you did that not Europeans. Instead of complaining about the lack of historical data for the rest of the world why don’t you go out and find evidence to fill in the blanks.

@@kennethmays8059I feel like it's the younger generation of countries who grew up on the Internet being fed with propaganda that the West is the most racist place in the world. Brainwash them when they're impressionable, and you get a stout fanatic.

@@hyperthulean8649 Medjay 1570-1544 BCE, Mamertines 361-289 BC (the ones sparking for the first Punic War). Mercenaries where arround since ancient times, maybe nto often as comapnies, but they existed.

Well, yes but actually no hahahaha we just became as soft and cosmopolite as any other Western society😅 You guys at least still have that fearlessness when doing manifestations like t'he almogàvers did when unpaid😂

@@yagollopart897 "Soft" seems a silly choice of words. It's better.

more hated than feared sadly.

@@cegesh1459 softness is good in peace when at war means death

Ignore me being german, but you need to be able to distinguish the romans, the eastern romans and the by then mostly greek influenced byzantines, from a historian perspective, even though they allways called themselves Rhomaoi.

While I agree with what you're trying to say, which could have been a simple line of "Roman, not Byzantine", you wrote it in the most utterly neckbeard Redditor way humanely possible and have made everyone who reads your comment either laugh or embarrassed for you.

stop trying to sound clever... you're still a kid and you're making up a chymerical issue and throwing in silly pop culture phrases that have no basis in reality.

Well yes it wasnthe ottomans who defeated rome it wasnt in 1453 it was in 1457 when athens was conquered as that was the last roman hold out. If you wanna do an uhm ackthually comment make sure its right

NEVER * bip bop *

You pay for the art then

@blakebailey22 At what point did they use AI art??? SandRhoman History is well known for their exceptional, historically accurate, and well-crafted soldier/character designs and artworks. They pay a lot of money for the designs, and their quality reflects that

why should they?

They dont use ai....

Its most commonly agreed upon the first mercenary group was the ten thousand which was a greek army that fought for cyrus the younger.

Lo único social, cultural y económicamente interesante pasaba en Catalunya, enterate por favor

La corona de Aragon era federal. El condado de Barcelona era independiente de facto

@@fedecano7362 A ver, para empezar se llamaba Corona de ARAGON, por algo, y no meramente porque la "A" de "Aragon viniera antes que la "C" de "Cataluña". Segundo, se le olvida que la Corona de ARAGON estaba tambien conformada, aparte de por Aragon y Cataluña, por Valencia, las Baleares,los condados del sur de Francia, Sicilia y Napoles (aunque la ultima se incorporara posteriormente). De verdad esta intentando dar a entender que TODOS esos lugares no eran sino un oscuro paramo intelectual y cultural, alumbrados por la centelleante cultura y marea de ideas generadas en Cataluña? Hagaselo mirar, por favor...... Finalmente, y puesto que TODAVIA estabamos en la edad media, y llegada del estado-nacion aun se haria esperar una temporada, le recuerdo que CATALUÑA, como entidad politica, no existia, ni se la esperaba. Se trataba de una serie de estados feudales (el mas importante de lo cuales era el condado de Barcelona), con una cultura y lengua comun, conectados por un complicado entramado de lealtades personales, a cuya cabeza resultaba estar el rey de ARAGON (y antes de salte usted, ya le confirmo que España, tenia la misma entidad que Cataluña en esa epoca, o sea, NINGUNA) Pretender que Cataluña (o España) era(n) un pais en aquella epoca es como decir que Grecia era un pais durante las guerras medicas. No hijo, no.......... La historia, ya es una disciplina lo suficiemente imprecisa como para que encima venga aqui el personal a manipularla para adecuarla a sus humedos sueños adolescentes de naciones milenarias que, a lo mas que llegan es a 300 o 400 años de antiguedad (que tampoco esta mal, oiga!). Si quiere usted pertencer a una nacion milenaria cuyo origen se pierda en la niebla del tiempo, le recomiendo China, o Egipto.

@@jorgebarriosmur no se llamaba corona de aragon, ese nombre aparece hasta el siglo XVII. bastante mas tarde que los hechos descritos, se llamaban por separado por que eran estados diferentes, tanto aragon como cataluña como valencia etc.. la compañia se llamo catalana por que esta fue impuslada i financiada por la burgesia barcelonesa.(era una compañia de mercenarios no un ejercito regular) de ahi el nombre, aunque si hubo aragoneses y valencianos en la compañia no les parecio importar mucho el nombre entonces, no como ahora. ademas el principado de cataluña ya existia en ese tiempo. y ese nombre ya aparece en la cronica de ramon muntaner, haciendo alusion como catalanes a veces, hasta los valencianos por lo que puedo leer sabes bastante poco sobre el tema en cuestion, pero de pedanteria sabes mucho mas

Now that's what I call quarantine

LET ME INNNNNN~!
