Flash Point History

53,233 views

A new pope takes control in Rome and is dedicated to bring power and authority back to the papacy. On the top of his list is the recapture of Jerusalem. The Fourth Crusade is launched in 1198 - but despite the close planning and preparation, the course of this holy war will go very wrong.

Happy holidays people!! Hope your New Years is going to be awesome as well. I wanted to get one more video out before the end of the year. Please don't forget to share on social media or share with that special someone who needs to know what happened in the 4th Crusade. See you all in 2022!!!

Not many channels would work through the holidays to release high quality content like this, especially given how much goes into making these videos. Happy holidays and as always great video.

Yet another truly wonderful, well-researched installation to the "Fall of Constantinople" and yet what a tease!! I had made a homemade pizza, grabbed a 2-Liter of Diet Dr.Pepper and assembled a most comfortable"nest" on my bed, ready to indulge in another epic (Flash Point History) saga, only to realize that it was only 27 minutes once cocooned in my bed and pizza on my lap. I almost cried! Please don't make us wait too long for the conclusion, as I won't be making pizza again until you do. Happy Holidays and thanks for the gift of knowledge.

The way you always win !

When I saw that you have uploaded a new video then quickly downloaded and started watching...

The music in the start was amazing.
The way you proceeded the story was wonderful.
The way you presented facts about all the Kings who died were insane.
(Although I wanted more about "Richard the lion-heart" but that was short).

You presented all the events and facts in a heart catching manner.

I cannot rate the content that you produce cause I'd say that it's beyond ratings.

I saw your comment under the HistoryMarche video and was like: "When is Flash Point History going to continue the Conquest and Fall of Constantinople series? Glad that i checked your site:D
Somehow I didn't get a notification that you released this video.

I adore the fact you just wove in point of history by quoting a Ferengi rule of acquisition!

Come on YouTube algorithm… you really need to be bumping the channel up way more.

Great work as usual on this video! 👍 ⚔️
