1) Lindybeige, although I've heard and read that he sucks when it comes to weapons
.
2) The Great War, although Indy sometimes tries too much to be spectacular..

3) Sargon of Akkad's secondary channels, although he's not an academic and he sometimes omits details or get his facts wrong.

4) Historybuffs, although his historical movie reviews tend to be biased.

5) TheCajunCutThroat, although he has a strong pro-french bias, his late videos are well-made, touching and informative. His francophone channel is amazing.

>>1438040
lindybeige does have a lot of interesting points though, while perhaps not completely grasping the whole picture

>>1437822
But that channel is defunct. I think Youtube took away their ability to monetize because of their sex related videos or some such.

>>1438040
Lindybeige and The Great War is my two favorites as well! I was gonna go on a rant about how bad Sargon of Akkad really is until I noticed that you wrote "secondary channel", I haven't watch his other channels so I can't hate on it.

>>1438021
God no. I tried this guy and while everything is good his voice is so grating and difficult that it ruins it.

>>1438352

>>1438040
>although I've heard and read that he sucks when it comes to weapons
That just some /his/torians being triggered because he did not think that the german weaponry in world war 2 was superior to everything and anything ever built. Don't think anyone has complained about his videos on medieval weaponry though.

>>1438366
Your head is either hot or empty if historical examination points you towards X or Y being "the cool guys".

>>1437549
I'd say RCH as well, because he mainly uses first hand sources from said period.
But I must admit, I don't like how he's gone from
>here are some historical accounts
>let me put them together in this narrative
to
>FUCK MOHAMMED CRUSADES WHEN pls buy my book DEUX VULT

Then again, his existence seems to seriously trigger this one anon from an 'unbiased sources' thread, which is A-Ok in my book.

Lindybeige is very good, but I only hope we would stop shitting on the french at every opportunity, his pro-english bias is not very subtle.

Compare his Zulu review to his Braveheart review. He likes to give his uneducated opinion about movies and moviemaking too often, instead of reviewing whether the movies are historically accurate or not.

>>1438582

Is he actually serious about hating the French? I thought it was just a joke, sometimes a bit stale, but still... then again, I haven't watched very many of his videos.

>>1439154
It's obviously a joke. Frenchies are just autistic.

> Lindybeige, although I've heard and read that he sucks when it comes to weapons
His reasoning is heavily based on anecdotes and larping and a lot of the stuff he says is just bullshit, like the "weapons have more stopping power when on a tripod" thing. When it comes to modern stuff he has no idea what he is talking about but still plays an expert on youtube. His historical stuff is interesting though, he should stick to that.

>>1440233

>>1438367
He's genuinely said some stupid shit about weapons like that pike formations never fought each other. Some of his points that people complain about though he makes very clear he's speculating and can't confirm one way or the other. I would agree that a lot of the hate is nitpicking.

>>1437783

>>1439525
Yeah, it's still a joke.

>>1438582
Biased in what aspect? Generally when he makes the case that Britain does something better than other countries (driving on the left or the English language being superior to Chinese etc) he makes decent arguments for that being the case. Britain has a history of doing things better than other countries, it does not make one biased to point that out.

>>1438973
> uneducated

What education do you require to give an opinion about a movie in a youtube video?

>>1441108
Majority of his videos are not accurate at all, but the gems of knowledge he drops through his videos are usually true and interesting, I think he is studying a history major? When he explains the background for some of his battles he has done a lot of research for simple video game related videos.

Literally logical fallacies: the YouTube channel. Also the fact that he doesn't even bother reading the articles he posts as his confirmation bias. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdC5NXQzMDI

I don't mind his politics, it just annoys me how unacademic & shallow a lot of his 'research' is & how no one calls him out on it.

>1440901
if text-to-speech sounded like him, I would never read a thing myself

I've seen some of the videos Extra Credits made about history.

Where did the "muslims go out of their way to call people that are crusader cock gobblers 'biased'" meme come from? Most muslims didn't even give a shit about the crusades when they were happening. They weren't particularly important to them even in the immediate scheme of things.

>>1443890

I might be biased, but hearing him talking about things going on in Sweden (I'm swedish myself), things I no not to be true and are mostly /pol/ memes, without any facts to back it up and that a simple google search would disprove. This combined with the fact that he calls himself a skeptic, but invited a unbiased idiot swede (Called an "En Arg Blatte Talar") who says the most absurd shit and this so called "Skeptic" just accepts everything and agrees without questioning.

Also when discussing Brexit with Thunderfoot (I don't follow Thunderfoot desu) most of his arguments were tinfoil hat level shit. He is quite simply an idiot.

>>1438518
He was saying the prosperity in iberia during arab rule was just a continuation of the prosperous/intellectual atmosphere that iberia already had. He gave some sources but being that long ago it's pretty speculative.

Phd student, know rch for about 2 years.
He basically cherrypicks arguments, ignores scholars or sources that are against his view, or only give them a small leeway in order to appear fair and unbiased. He looks and pushes for connections that don't exist, for example cites one unrelated battle to justify another totally unrelated battle while giving no evidence, no source at all that two battle participants had any knowledge of one another at all. Basically he tries to fit his argument into evidence rather than the other way around. Thank the catholic god he worshpis that he is not an academic and has no credentials at all (the academic sources or guests choices are also not that good, he once cited a 1970 book while mentioning none of the preceding ones that refuted it, wish I could remember the name)

He has a small angry and religious following and shills for his books in peace, as long as he is not claiming to be a historain I'm okay with it.

Also it was funny to see when he got triggered, orthodox caused some trouble back then, and he literally had a massive breakdown at his assassins creed video comment section.

Weird fucking guy, reminds of of average /pol/his/torian who is a bit less lazy and a bit more bold in presenting himself.

>>1445476

That isn't even close to accurate.

Even restricting battles to just papally-backed crusade campaigns (rather than all Catholic vs heathen/heretic battles), you're missing hundreds of widespread dots.

>>1445023
forgot to mention >>1445498

Cambridge university, history masters student, your PhD means nothing if it isn't specialised into this subject and I don't trust someone who posts on 4chan instead of working

>>1445533
by all means you are right, I should have said that I'm writing my thesis on greek view on crusades and I wasted enough of my time watching, taking notes, reading, and refuting RCH back in octochans /christian/ board. I once translated an ecclesiastical epistle that I couldn't find a translation, just for the sake of posting there. (being a grad student gives you a lot of time to bullshit around) Maybe you can find some of my posts in the archives.
I'm seriously tired, both literally as of now and in sense that I had enough of him, go check his videos yourself. I'm off to sleep. I'm sick of refuting or listening to him again even if I was going to stay here to shitpost. Its for religious right by a religious right winger. Its basically a circlejerk

But then again you should Deffinetly not trust me, I assume your oxbridge faggotry is more than enough to detect his trickery with regards to evidence. Go watch few of his videos, and do check what he omits, not what he cites.

>>1445563
>oxbridge faggotry

Disregarded, thanks for revealing that you're already innately biased thanks to your bitter jealousy, go get triggered elsewhere

Good luck finding many Oxbridge history professors who propagate the whole "crusaders bad, Muslims enlightened guardians who were right to invade all of southern Europe" like you and other clearly biased left-wing shills stuffed into all shitty universities these days

>>1445576
He didn't say a single thing about Muslims being enlightened guardians. He's also completely right.

>>1445598

>>1445610
About RCH being selective with his sources? Yes, because I've noticed the same. Also, I was there when he lost it in the AC video comment section and just started deleting everything. Anon's right about that, too.

>>1445622
I'm not using RCH as a source, I'm relying on an Oxbridge history education, I only heard of RCH from this thread

>>1445681
What are you going on about? This is a thread for Youtube channels, and discussing RCH is on topic. It's not like he's here himself for anyone to gang up on in the first place, nor is anyone here arguing about 'superior academic credentials.'

>>1446711
>everyone who disagrees me is the same person

I have an argument though. RCH occasionally quotes an islamic source, and then boasts for quoting an islamic source. By quoting that source, the author basically says that its reliable and should be considered. He then stops quoting it, and quotes other, less reliable sources, which contradict it. Never again is this islamic source, which was considered good enough for the show, ever brought up as a counter weight to all the other lesser sources that are preferred instead.

Basically islamic sources are only good when its propaganda nonsense like making bow strong out of human leg sinew, which is of course stupid, since human sinew would make for terrible weak bow string, but the guy takes it as seriously as possible and makes it a point, then never bothers to repeat anything else said in that source which he liked enough to quote once, when it suited him.

Reminder: sources are only reliable when they agree with my fanatical views, and unreliable bullshit when they don't.

>Basically islamic sources are only good when its propaganda nonsense
The only videos I've watched (only a handful of his older ones back maybe a year or two) just used them in conjunction with christian ones, I don't know what he does now. Again, post the videos which support your claim or bust
>anything else said in that source which he liked enough to quote once, when it suited him
Yes, when you're making a point or an argument you use a variety of quotes that suite your point. He's not an academic, he's a youtube "historian," this is hardly a valid criticism for a 5 minute youtube video. And you speak as if this is a specific incident, so please post the source that had extra information that he left out

And yes, I do know he's done this shit, but I've never seen it regularly enough to make a generalization for all his videos

>>1446737
>This is a great story, now where did he do this and where does he do this consistently?
The bow string out of human sinew is the example given, I won't go watch tens of videos to find it.
I've only watched a few, and they were all bad, so I haven't remembered them.

If you've watched any of their material, you will know what I am talking about, as long as you aren't deluded.

>>1446746
watched a few podcasts and a few random videos. They're not as bad as you make them out. They're biased, but they're backed.

I specialised in the study of the Late Roman Army during my history degree and I want to start up a channel to talk about it because people have this stereotype that the Late Roman Army was just a disorganised mob of Germans, but that really isn't the case!

But I'm worried that I don't have a nice enough voice and nobody would watch my videos.

>>1446770
They are backed, but you can also make a few opposing theories using the exact same sources that he does, because he cherry picks like a motherfucker.
He reads the source, so he clearly sees all the things that oppose his views, and he chooses to ignore them. He however treats the things that support his views as pure, unquestionable fact, and if you disagree - well just look at the sources, its all there!! Nevermind the other stuff thats also there.

>>1446789

You keep saying this shit and yet give no fucking examples.
>He however treats the things that support his views as pure, unquestionable fact
Never seen him do this.
> and if you disagree - well just look at the sources, its all there
So his conclusion is still backed.
>Nevermind the other stuff thats also there
Your argument is more air filled than a balloon.

I'm not going to bother replying anymore.

>>1446803
Example:
A muslims source quoted saying that the vanquished were butchered alive to use their sinew as bow string. The same muslim source says the civilians in the city were treated nicely.
A christian source says the valiant defenders fought to the end, and died honorably. The muslim hordes then killed all civilians.
RCH's reading: The muslims butchered all the garrison to make bow strings out of them, and killed all civilians too.
Basically taking whatever fits his narrative from both sources, and ignoring what contradicts it.

I won't watch his shitty low quality videos again just to give you links and time stamps. If you had any interest in this discussion, you could do it yourself. You clearly are looking for a way out, and were only replying to be to have the last word. If you don't want to know better, I won't force feed you information. Good day.

I find podcasts to be much more based than youtube channels when it comes to history.

I don't know why but alot of podcasters seem to have a better sense of flow when they talk about thier subjects, while most videos are kinda short and feel a bit disconnected.

I see these shitposts whenever RCH comes up, but never any examples of what he said that was incorrect or evidence to back up the claim.

The fact is, RCH is anti-cherrypicking and anti-bias. The channel was created for the main purpose of destroying pop history myths surrounding the Crusades and related subjects.

>>1448564

>>1448571
>I see these shitposts whenever RCH comes up, but never any examples of what he said that was incorrect or evidence to back up the claim.

He attacks Extra Credits Crusades video with a point about how Europe was always concerned about reclaiming the Holy Land and how Pilgrimage had declined by using Charlemagne helping found a pilgrim's inn in Jerusalem, ignoring almost 300 years of silence on the desire to retake the Holy Land in any other Christian source up until the turn of the 12th century, and ignoring the rise and spread of pilgrim journals within that same timeframe attesting to the rise - not fall - of pilgrimage.

>>1448571
Easy to say when examples get discussed every time but then they're suddenly forgotten the next time. It's like a bad infographic that keeps getting posted as bait no matter how many times it gets shat on and debunked.

>>1448627
Except he points out there were just too much disorganization and civil wars in the early post-Roman era. As he puts it, Christians in Europe were aware of the bloody Islamic conquests but there was nothing that could be done about it. It's no coincidence that Crusades came about soon after the kingdom nation states did.

>>1448756
Yeah, it's nice how he says this despite there being very powerful kingdoms like the Carolingian or Ottonian empires at the time. The point being there exist some very obvious counter arguments to his suppositions, especially those that aren't backed by any notable historian, and that he tends to dismiss them if he even mentions their existence at all with as little evidence as he uses for these suppositions.

It's just bait and switch. He keeps this unprofessional attitude in check when he does videos on small campaigns, but it show in his larger, opinionated videos.

>>1448792
>Carolingian
Literally three warring parts

>Ottonian
what is Lechfeld, got to get past the Huns first. And official Crusades were only a century after.

>>1448813
Three warring parts that were each more powerful than any of the duchies and counties that joined the First Crusade, and hardly fought any more than they did. Not to mention how divided Europe was on the eve of the First Crusade, and how many wars were being fought at the time.

>Lechfeld

They could have gone by sea, which was completely doable seeing as how sea travel was the most popular form of travel to the east (even more so than the overland route over the Balkans due to Slavs). Hell, the First Crusade only took the Balkan route as part of the Byzantine plan to subjugate rebellious Serbs.

It was surprising to me that Hodges still existed, since I remember him guest starring in a couple of podcasts over at a film site several years ago. It was even more surprising to learn that he's somehow devolved into getting facts wrong and thinking films like The Last Samurai are good.

Mary beard is pretty based for Roman history desu.
>inb4 ugly britbong feminist
she's actually not really like that even though she is pretty gross looking. She generally tries to back everything up with facts from artifacts and inscriptions though her videos are actually documentaries.
The only thing I don't agree with Mary on is her opinion that Romans weren't anymore tolerant or interested in sex than we are now.

Which ones remain?

>>1454943
This desu.
Think really the only good "historical youtubers" are Historians who happen to have documentaries uploaded. David Starkey's series on the Tudor monarchy is probs one of the best I've seen, though I think he should really stick to talking about Early Modern History.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82bwBrXo13A&list=PLYOaFvSd0bB2p3vzLnJSETk-jypqfhUpY

I'll grant you that, but the Muslims objectively conquered far more territory. The entirety of North Africa, Andalucia, the Balkans, the Byzantine Empire

The Christians reconquered... Jerusalem, Lebanon and a bit of Syria

Crash course History =')

>>1455324
Yup. that's the only source of history you should ever get from TV or video though. Anyone ever notice that European documentaries are much better than American documentaries on European history(or any other type tqbh)? I really hate how professors at my school insist on us watching American made stuff. They always end up saying some b.s. Example see this documentary about Lucretzia Borgia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rdr9uj0JBQ

>>1456814
Think with British documentaries (not just Historical ones) you can tell there's a passion for what they're talking about, American documentaries seem more concerned with spectacle rather than storytelling. They can be good for some small nuggets of historical information, but it's the over exaggerations that really put me off.

Comfy Lindy is the only option. Also it's hilarious to watch him rambling about some shit he doesn't understand from time to time

A list of some good military history youtubers.

>Lindybeige https://www.youtube.com/user/lindybeige/featured
All round rambling about various subjects, the sort of thing you might never have wondered about, or you might, a lot of his videos revolve around myth busting and breaking misconceptions, quirky and entertaining

>ScholaGladiatoria https://www.youtube.com/user/scholagladiatoria/featured
Pretty much all about swords, there's no better youtube authority on the practical and physical uses of swords and other melee weapons, on the surface he isn't very charismatic but something keeps you interested, he just seems nice

>Skallagrim https://www.youtube.com/user/SkallagrimNilsson/featured
Basically reviews and info on actually buying swords and other weapons, he's very useful in this regard, he covers combat use of weapons too but not as much as ScholaGladiatoria, he also delves into myth busting a bit like Lindy

>ThegnThrand https://www.youtube.com/user/ThegnThrand/featured
These guys pretty much entirely revolve around experimental archaeology, the majority of their videos involve stabbing authentic chainmail with authentic swords, throwing javelins at shields, and screaming loudly while thrusting. Great stuff

>Metatron https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIjGKyrdT4Gja0VLO40RlOw/featured
Metatron does a varied bunch of videos, but he mainly stays around debunking ridiculous documentaries, equipment comparisons, or lengthy explanations of historical concepts and weaponry which is where he is at his best.

>Shadiversity https://www.youtube.com/user/shadmbrooks
Shad mostly does very long videos where he explains concepts and equipment in a very long and detailed manner, but not boring. He is great for more in depth knowledge on a specific subject.
