About

We want to entertain people with history which is entertaining, visually pleasing and grounded in scholarship at the same time. Our golden rules: 1) We only use academic sources and always try to stick to the consensus opinion. 2) We always list our sources in description of our videos. 3) We make clear when we deviate from the prior two rules. Education: Between the two of us we hold two Master's degrees in history from the university of Bern and one degree as a history teacher from the Bern University of Teacher Education. Both of us worked at the University of Bern as teaching assistants. We wrote an article about our experience as content creators (ed. by Dr. Kilian Baur and Robert Trautmannsberger): https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110792898-005/html We also held a few talks about our journey on YouTube at the universities of Eichstätt, Fribourg and Zürich. We taught a seminar about history on YouTube at the University of Zurich in spring of 2024.

Video Description

Check out Knights of Honor 2: Sovereign here: https://thqn.net/3uo9IRp. KoH1 was one of my favourite games as a teenager. I'm really happy that we get to be sponsored by KoH2: Sovereign in this video. We had lots of fun in the ~20 hours we spent in the game. We didn't encounter any major bugs, so, we're definitely recommending the game to any history enthusiast! The siege of Jerusalem 1099 during the first crusade was one of the most influential events in history. It contributed much to the already complex and intertwined history of the Levante. In this video we look at the siege in detail. However, we're not covering events like the siege of Antioch or the battle of Dorylaeum in much depth. We hope you enjoy anyways!
