The Reconquista begin with a handful of desperate Visigothic nobles in the mountains of Asturias. In this episode, we trace the early Reconquista, from the Battle of Guadalete and the rapid Muslim conquest of Iberia by Umayyad and Berber armies, to the rise of Pelagius of Asturias and his legendary stand at the Battle of Covadonga (718) in the Picos de Europa. We follow the creation of a tiny Asturian kingdom, the campaigns of Alfonso I and Alfonso III, and decisive clashes like Mount Laturce and Polvoraria, where Christian armies ambushed and defeated powerful Andalusian forces. These early victories laid the foundations for the later Kingdom of León, the expansion into Galicia and Portugal, and ultimately the long struggle that ended with the fall of Granada in 1492. If you enjoy medieval history, Spanish history, and detailed battle analysis, this video is for you.

Manichaeism was once one of the world’s most widespread religions, stretching from Roman North Africa to Tang China. Founded by the prophet Mani in the 3rd century CE, it blended elements of Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, and Gnosticism into a dualistic faith centered on the eternal struggle between Light and Darkness. This video explores the fascinating life of Mani, his teachings, and how his religion spread along the Silk Roads through merchants, missionaries, and adaptable doctrine. Despite periods of intense persecution, Manichaeism endured for over a millennium, influencing major world religions and leaving a legacy that echoed in movements from the Bogomils to Chinese sects. Discover how a forgotten faith once rivaled Christianity and Buddhism in reach and how it shaped the religious and cultural landscapes of three continents.How Christianity and Judaism Split: https://youtu.be/iCyQmLd7xAQEarly Christian Schisms: https://youtu.be/xeYQPzgN3yAGreat Schism Between Greek and Latin Christianity: https://youtu.be/a6rWf0k8d78How Islam Split into the Sunni and Shia Branches: https://youtu.be/-85dXjgMiSUEastern Roman Empire: Why So Many Civil Wars?: https://youtu.be/SK_yHooLu1sRise of the Cossacks: https://youtu.be/UQ_ocyTRRIECrusades From the Muslim Perspective: https://youtu.be/t8RZtYvW02gEarly Muslim Expansion - Yarmouk, Al-Qadisiyyah: https://youtu.be/r2cEIDZwG5M Early Muslim Expansion - Egypt and Iran: https://youtu.be/baHT2nR5Wr4 Muslim Schism: https://youtu.be/-85dXjgMiSU Third Crusade: https://youtu.be/jCyCSgsFXKQ Fourth Crusade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Vp_IENiSnA&list=PLaBYW76inbX4ZjR4rodOOSc-zL1orP4hW First Crusade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkyYjpYLORI&list=PLaBYW76inbX6RqjG027zLO_svn3Fdv7Qa Sultanate of Women in the Ottoman Empire: https://youtu.be/OEzS8D4IidA How the German Empire Provoked Ottoman Jihad in WWI: https://youtu.be/8LCpbgVx9kY Ottoman Battles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txyqS5yuw30&list=PLaBYW76inbX5BKGRPzlqdztQySZmJLjJt Why the Ottomans Never Colonized America: https://youtu.be/lM_Wzt_Z228Why the Ottoman Sultans Killed their Brothers: https://youtu.be/vN7LgUIOAVw Cem Sultan: Ottoman Prince in the Heart of Europe: https://youtu.be/3w9POQMt5jk Ottoman Pirates: https://youtu.be/5jguevSDIuY Turkification of Anatolia: https://youtu.be/JBgq1taoUsY Hashashins: https://youtu.be/vG8qmlKdRjs Christian Schism: https://youtu.be/a6rWf0k8d78 Mos Maiorum: What led to the fall of the Roman Republic?: https://youtu.be/BNWfDWk6ohM How Rome Conquered Greece: https://youtu.be/v5q1rerf-qw Caesar in Gaul: https://youtu.be/LRV185XaMIM Support us on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/KingsandGenerals or Paypal: http://paypal.me/kingsandgenerals or by joining the youtube membership: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMmaBzfCCwZ2KqaBJjkj0fw/join We are grateful to our patrons and sponsors, who made this video possible: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ooKPbpq0z8ciEjz5Zmrga4-gWRmripm0u4BHMkkXHVc/edit?usp=sharingAnimation and illustration: Evelin AcostaScript: Christos NicolaouNarration: Officially Devin (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU0-VII-V376zFxiRGMeZGg & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC79s7EdN9uXX77-Ly2HmEjQ)✔ Merch store ► https://teespri Learn more about your ad choices.

Their raid into modern-day Iran, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia was lucrative, as they razed and plundered many cities, but they didn't stop there and moved into the modern Russia and Ukraine, where they fought a loose alliance of the Rus princedoms and the Kipchaks (Cuman/Pecheneg/Polovtsi) in the famous battle of Kalka in 1233. This episode also describes the dynastic situation in the Mongol empire after the death of Genghis Khan.Previous episodes: Rise of the Empire - Battle of Yehuling - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdU4d2CeH4EFall of Khwarezm - Battles of Parwan and Indus - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjS1FbHLIxMSupport us on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/KingsandGenerals or Paypal: http://paypal.me/kingsandgenerals.We are grateful to our patrons, who made this video possible: Fahad Al Mandil, Matthew Levy, Rene Malmgren, Ferran MacDonald, Ibrahim Rahman, Koopinator, Daisho, Łukasz Maliszewski, William Fluit, Juan Camilo Rodriguez, Murray Dubs, Félix Gagné-Dion, Fahri Dashwali, Kyle Hooton, Dan Mullen, Mohamed Thair, Pablo Aparicio Martínez, Iulian Margeloiu, Chet, Nick Nasad, Jeyares, Amir Eppel, Thomas Bloch, Uri Sternfeld, Georgi Kirilov, Mohammad Mian, Brian Crane, Muramasa, Gerald Tnay, Hassan Ali, Richie Thierry, David O'Hare, Christopher Commins, Chris Glantzis, William Pugh, Stefan Dt, indy, Bashir Hammour, Mario Nickel, R.G.
