Europe: The First Crusade - V: Siege of Antioch - Extra History

Why let a little oath-breaking get in the way of a good Crusade?

Heather's sneaky Bohemond is my favorite.

Extra History

Sneaky, sneaky Walpole!

Extra History

I'm glad they're coming through! There are SO MANY people and personalities involved in this, but both Heather and James have done a lot of work helping them stand out.

Extra History

Hehehe, you spotted him!

Extra History

A Walpole in chains is the Walpole we all dream of.

Extra History

Glad you're enjoying it! Welcome to our little corner of the internet.

Absolutely spectacular. I only started watching this series about a week ago and now I'm hooked. Great work.

Lovely, thank you. Nice eastern egg :D

Martin Ockovsky

Wait a minute is Adhemar dragging...WALPOLE!!!!

Harrison Brussel

Splendid episode. Bohemund is such a lovable little weasel. A tricky disreputable sort, but a talented tactician as well. It's to your credit that you've really explored so many of the sparkling personalities of this Crusade.

Jim McGeehin

Great as usual especially this episode's art

Tristan Murphy

I see Walpole!

Eleanor Young

Say words, get treasure, do what you want anyway. Good deal!

Extra History

It was Tanc- wait, no!

Extra History

Glad you're enjoying it! We're trying to present the information about the Crusaders evenly, neither hiding their failings nor ignoring their triumphs. They're a complex mixture of good and bad - like most people throughout history. :)

Extra History

The supply situation was a crucial part of the way the First Crusade played out, over and over again. We'll see it come up all the way to the end of the series!

Extra History

It does seem fast, doesn't it! But we've actually spent several years with the Crusaders and seen one of their great triumphs (seizing Antioch). Jerusalem is next on their list.

Extra History

There's only one episode left? It feels like there's still so much left to cover.

Oaths are for suckers.

Amateurs discuss tactics and strategy. Professionals discuss logistics.

I appreciate the fact that you guys focus on the supply situation for the Crusaders instead of just epic pitched battles. Few medium focus on that and most tend to omit it altogether, forgetting that "an army marches on its stomach".

Fish swim the Sun shines and soldiers pillage that's how it is pretty much always has been and always will be.

Sometimes Martial Virtue seems very much easier to cultivate than Personal Virtue.

RMS Oceanic

Awesome video! It is interesting that the crusade seems to show both the incredible strengths (the 7 hour shield wall last episode) and weaknesses (the numerous betrayals in this episode, not to mention all of that looting and pillaging of innocents) that people can display.

Well I guess we know who was responsible for the Byzantine Oath failing.
