  Crusades O'Clock Episode 28 - The Foundation of the Sultanate of Rum

  Jul 8, 202632 minS1

  Blast the Trumpets! Crusades O'Clock Returns! This is perhaps a bit of a throwback to an earlier period, but an important one! When thinking about the relaunch, I couldn't help but think that my major protagonist should be the medieval Middle East's great survivor, Kilij Arslan I of Rum. This episode is largely about his father, Suleiman, who is also pretty cool! This episode ends in 1095, but don't be put off. It is a great story, and provides a lot of important background that makes the First Crusade and its context make a great deal more sense! I hope you enjoy it. #crusades #turkey #kilijarslan

  Crusades O'Clock Episode 27 - Chaos, Council, Conquest: The Real Forging of the County of Tripoli

  Oct 26, 202532 minS1

  <p>This is a time of tension, of rifts between old rivals breaking into open conflict. Both in Muslim held Tripoli and on the Crusader dominated fields beyond the city's walls, relationships are strained to breaking point.</p><p><br></p><p>Who will triumph? Will Fakhr al Mulk get the support of the Seljuk Sultan Muhammad Tapar? Will the Fatimids finally get their hands on the city they have coveted? Will Bertrand of Toulouse, William-Jordan of Cerdagne, or their powerful backers Tancred of Antioch or Baldwin of Jerusalem get their hands on the city? </p><p><br></p><p>...

  Crusades O'Clock Episode 25: Fatimid Egypt: Innovation and Failure - 1099-1110

  Aug 1, 202541 minS1

  <p>This episode is the second detour into the Crusaders' neighbours - mainly focussing on Fatimid Egypt (with a soupcon of Burid Damascus!)</p><p><br /></p><p>A question that has oft troubled me (and my pupils) is why the Fatimid Caliphate, given its wealth and abundant reserves of manpower, proved quite so ineffective against the Crusader States. </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this episode goes some way towards resolving the mystery, whilst providing some entertaining and insightful anecdotes about Fatimid commanders and their performance. The Fatimid "General Disastrous" and an exciting cast of characters await you...<...

  Crusades O'Clock Episode 24 - The Seljuks are sidetracked! Why were they so ineffective in challenging the Crusaders 1095-1105?

  Jul 20, 202544 minS1

  <p>A lengthy, and hopefully long awaited, episode. We have obviously looked at the Crusaders' victories over the Seljuks and their tributaries, but haven't yet addressed why their Sultans were so ineffective at combatting the Crusader threat...</p><p><br></p><p>... until now!</p><p><br></p><p>Buckle up for a story of great escapes, assassinations and executions, family grudges and feisty Turkish princesses. It promises to be a corker... except for Berkiyaruq and his haemorrhoids...</p><p><br></p><p>Enjoy!</p><p><br></p><p>#crusades #Seljuks #greatescape #princesses</p>
