Brave Portuguese king. Glory to Sebastian
Imagine you're a young man and you just became king of a country, only to go off to invade your neighbour and lose your first battle and die.
Strategically and tactically, Sebastian was a terrible commander who made every mistake in the book.
I’ve never heard about this battle, but the moment I heard the trope “the flower of (insert nation) nobility” I knew who was going to win.
Morocco has a great history with its own empire, they once conquered and ruled Spain and Portugal for centuries 🇲🇦
This is one of the best history channel on youtube
Only two kings…the Moroccan mercenary who came with the Portuguese was not a king at all, and the number of his men in the Battle of Wadi Al-Makhzen was 300 mercenaries, all of whom perished along with 80,000 to 100,000 Portuguese and their reckless king
3 kings one battle……it has 1 man 1 jar vibes
HistoryMarche I would like to suggest you an idea for a next video, about the most famous medieval Spanish warrior and leader Rodrigo Diaz "El Cid"
I very much enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Crusades rarely end well – fanatical, badly and hastily planned affairs. Too much is expected of "higher powers". too many different contingents with different leaders. Then the bad planning, no or little espionage and limited resources play their part. The same can be said of some examples of Jihad. The early Muslim conquests don't count – they were better financed, armed, organized and planned.
Cool name for a battle, but I'm always disappointed when one side is outnumbered. I'm interested in evenly matched battles, not when one army has 20K more troops.
Excellent video 📹
Beautiful story ❤️
Queen Elizabeth sent an embassy later to Morocco.
How can we call that a crusade when the portuguese fought on the side of the sultan Abu Mohammed II?
