Guerrier avant d'être roi, Richard Cœur de Lion incarne l'idéal du chevalier médiéval. Fils d'Aliénor d'Aquitaine et d'Henri II, il grandit entre batailles et ambitions. Très tôt, son courage et son talent militaire forgent sa légende. Mais c'est en Terre sainte, lors de la troisième croisade, qu'il entre dans l'histoire en affrontant Saladin. Admiré pour sa bravoure, redouté pour sa fougue, il est plus à l'aise à l'épée à la main que sur un trône. Entre exploits héroïques et captivité, son destin oscille entre gloire et tragédie, laissant l'image d'un souverain indomptable."Secrets d'Histoire" est un podcast d'Initial Studio, adapté de l'émission de télévision éponyme produite par la Société Européenne de Production ©2024 SEP / France Télévisions.

Qui sont les Ismaéliens ? Cette branche très minoritaire du chiisme à l'origine du califat fatimide – seul califat chiite - est apparue au VIIIè siècle, à l'époque du sixième imam et descendant d'Ali. Leur califat fatimide a étendu sa puissance aux Xè et XIè siècles en Afrique du Nord, en Sicile et jusqu'à la Syrie. Ils ont fondé Le Caire, devenu capitale politique et centre intellectuel et religieux important. Les Ismaéliens sont aussi à l'origine des célébrations du Mawlid, l'anniversaire du Prophète. Dès le IXè siècle, ils s'établissent dans différentes régions, dont le sous-continent indien, en se fondant parmi les hindous et les bouddhistes, à qui ils proposent d'être initiés, sans pour autant renier leurs croyances.   Pour les Ismaéliens, l'imam est toujours vivant et présent, contrairement aux chiites duodécimains, pour lesquels le 12è imam est entré en occultation et ne reviendra qu'à la fin des temps. Au XIè siècle, Hassan Sabbah fonde un ordre ismaélien, nizarite, et s'installe dans des forts et châteaux, dont la fameuse forteresse d'Alamût (située au sud de la mer Caspienne en Iran), semant la terreur par des assassinats ciblés contre des Turcs seldjoukides, les Croisés la surnomment même la « secte des Assassins ». Défaits par Saladin, puis écrasés par Gengis Khan, les Ismaéliens nizarites entrent en semi-clandestinité pendant plusieurs siècles et se fondent dans la population. Depuis le XIXè siècle, l'Aga Khan est désormais le chef spirituel reconnu des ismaéliens nizarites (qui sont majoritaires). Depuis la mort de son père en 2025, c'est l'Aga Khan V, âgé de 53 ans en 2026, qui est reconnu comme le 50è imam par la plupart des Ismaéliens, et qui dirige l'Aga Khan Development Trust, une entité caritative très présente dans le monde musulman.   Décryptage avec Daniel De Smet, invité en studio : spécialiste de l'ismaélisme, directeur de recherches au CNRS, membre statutaire du Laboratoire d'études sur les monothéismes, enseigne la philosophie arabe à l'université de Louvain en Belgique, auteur de Les Fatimides, De l'ésotérisme en islam, aux éditions du Cerf (2022) Reportage au nord du Pakistan : Notre correspondante Ondine De Gaulle a pu se rendre dans la vallée de Hunza au nord du Pakistan où l'Aga Khan V s'est rendu en visite fin mai 2026.

The Crusades reshaped Europe far beyond Jerusalem — and we've forgotten itFor most people, the Crusades begin and end with Jerusalem, Richard the Lionheart and Saladin. But that narrow view hides a far bigger story. In this episode of History Rage, medieval archaeologist Professor Aleks Pluskowski takes aim at the myth that crusading was confined to the eastern Mediterranean — and reveals how crusades transformed northern and eastern Europe in ways that still shape the modern worldDrawing on decades of archaeological research and historical evidence, Aleks explains how the Baltic Crusades were longer, more successful, and ultimately more influential than those in the Levant. From the rise of the Teutonic Order to the foundation of cities like Riga and Tallinn, this conversation exposes a forgotten chapter of European history that fundamentally reshaped societies, borders and identitiesYou'll hear why crusading was a papally authorised penitential war, how it expanded beyond Jerusalem to target pagans, heretics and political enemies, and why northern Europe became the Crusades' most enduring battlefield. Aleks also unpacks the diversity of pre-Christian belief systems in the Baltic, the realities of conquest and settlement, and how crusading ideology became a template for later colonialism and modern nationalist mythsThe episode also tackles how the Teutonic Order evolved from a humble hospital in Acre into a powerful military state, why it succeeded where the Levantine Crusader states failed, and how its image was later distorted by 19th-century nationalism and Nazi propaganda. This is not just military history — it's a story about how Europe learned to dominate, govern and remember its pastIf you think you know the Crusades, this episode will make you rethink everything.Guest: Professor Aleks PluskowskiProfessor of Medieval Archaeology, University of ReadingAleks Pluskowski is a leading authority on crusading in northern Europe, with extensive fieldwork experience across Poland and the Baltic region. His research focuses on material culture, landscapes of conquest, and the long-term impact of crusading societies.BookThe Black Cross: The Medieval Baltic CrusadesBuy here: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10120/9780300279061About History RageHistory Rage is the podcast that hunts down historical myths and kicks them into the long grass.

The theatrical version was a disaster. Critics weren't a fan, and neither were theater-goers. Then Ridley Scott said hold my beer - and released this puppy months later. The 3-hour director's cut is filled to the brim with visual spectacle but it's also a fantastic rumination on faith, belief, and religion. Luke and Corrye take pride in dissecting the acting performances, the symbolism behind specific scenes, picking out Game of Thrones alum, and cheering the battle scenes. 

When an airline president comes to the investigator Saladin after a black magician's extortion threat brings down one of his planes in mid-flight, the two old enemies meet again across a battlefield of stolen corpses, radio waves, and a cockpit where the pilot is already dead.Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and numerous other podcast apps.

What really caused the Crusades — and why should Christians care today? In Part 8 of the Islamification of America series, Pastor Nate sits down with Dr. John Holser, a professor of military history at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College and author of The Siege of Acre and Jerusalem Falls. Listen as they walk through the centuries of Islamic expansion that led to the Crusades, the brutal fall of Jerusalem in 1099, the rise and myth of Saladin, and the 1229 agreement that still governs who can pray on the Temple Mount. Pastor Nate also shares his own eye-opening experience visiting the Temple Mount and what it revealed about restrictions that Christians and Jews still face today. This is history every Christian needs to understand — perfect for your commute or workout.You'll Learn:✅ The four hundred years of Islamic conquest before the Crusades✅ Why the 1229 Temple Mount agreement still affects Christians today✅ The real Saladin versus the pop culture myth✅ How a War College professor connects medieval holy war to modern conflict

The original Assassin's Creed game focuses on the Assassins' efforts to bring down the Templars during the Third Crusade from 1189-1192. He encounters real figures from history, including Templar Grand Masters and Christian kings. One person who doesn't appear as a character is the Muslim leader, Saladin. Nevertheless his presence - and his legend - is felt.The first Sultan of both Egypt and Syria, Saladin pushed back against the Christian Crusader Kingdoms and retook Jerusalem. His success led to the Third Crusade. He's the reason Richard the Lionheart was in the Holy Land, and he was the sworn enemy of the Templars. To find out more about Saladin's rise to power and his astonishing successes, I'm joined by the wonderful Professor Jonathan Phillips from Royal Holloway, University of London. He explains how Saladin rose to power, and may not have been as accomplished as his legendary reputation suggests.Echoes of History is a Ubisoft podcast, brought to you by History Hit.

Ibrahim lays out the theological, military, and political realities of the era, arguing that the Crusades were understood at the time as defensive wars within a Christian just war tradition.The conversation explores jihad doctrine, papal authority, pilgrimage routes, the Byzantine appeal for help, and the brutal realities of medieval warfare on all sides. We discuss how both Christian and Muslim chroniclers recorded atrocities, enslavement, and religious violence, and why sanitised or selective readings distort the period.We also examine how the Crusades are invoked in modern political rhetoric, why historical memory shapes contemporary tensions, and whether the West has lost confidence in telling its own story honestly.A rigorous and unfiltered discussion about faith, war, civilisation, and what the Crusades really meant in their own time.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WATCH THE EXTENDED CONVERSATION HERE: https://open.substack.com/pub/winstonmarshall/p/heroic-the-uncensored-history-of?r=18lfab&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters00:00 Introduction03:09 The 7th Century Islamic Conquests and Europe's Shock07:30 How Early Christians Interpreted Islam11:41 Jihad: Faith, Plunder, or Both?16:57 Just War Theory and the Theology of Violence20:00 The Rise of the Seljuk Turks and New Atrocities23:35 The Destruction of the Holy Sepulchre 27:48 Pacifism vs Defence: What Did Christ Teach?31:36 The “Two Swords of Christ” Explained41:16 Medieval Honour vs Modern Materialism47:37 Pope Urban II and the Call to Crusade 49:12 The People's Crusade and the Rhine Pogroms52:32 The Professional Crusaders March East58:42 Why They Fought: Holy Land and Christian Solidarity1:00:07 The Capture of Jerusalem 1:03:35 The Birth of the Knights Templar 1:18:00 Saladin and the Loss of Jerusalem 1:48:00 How the Crusades Are Misunderstood Today2:01:00 Did the Crusades Ultimately Fail?

This is the 2nd part of the story of Miles, a British National Service conscript during his military service in the late 1950s. I'd like to give special thanks for the Norfolk Tank Museum for highlighting Miles' story and one of his relatives for putting me in contact with him. Throughout the episode, our Miles shares captivating anecdotes and the thrill of being part of a light armoured reconnaissance regiment. He vividly recounts the challenges of operating various armoured vehicles, including the Saladin and Saracen, and the responsibilities that came with being on the front lines of military operations. One of the most intriguing aspects of his service was the border patrols, where he and his comrades would venture into the woods, often encountering their East German counterparts. The tension of those moments, coupled with the knowledge that they were living in a semi-war footing, adds a layer of gravity to his experiences. ⁠Help me preserve Cold War history. ⁠⁠ You'll become part of our community, get ad-free episodes, and get a sought-after CWC coaster as a thank you and you'll bask in the warm glow of knowing you are helping to preserve Cold War history.

Wir leben zwischen zwei Adventen – der Geburt und der Wiederkunft von Jesus. In dieser Predigtserie entdecken wir, wie wir in diesem „Dazwischen“ leben können: im Licht von Jesu Wirken damals und in Erwartung seiner Wiederkehr heute.

Christen sind sozial unverträglich, weil sie ihre Familien hassen, den Weltuntergang predigen und Zwietracht säen. Sie reden in Rätseln und sollen sich verprügeln lassen. Manche Aussagen von Jesus sind schwer verdaulich. Wie gehen wir mit ihnen um? In dieser Serie befassen wir uns mit Aussagen von Jesus, die vor den Kopf stossen und entdecken Werkzeuge, um an schwer verständliche Bibelstellen heranzugehen.

Why did Crusaders travel from Western Europe to Gaza and The Levant in the 11th century? Who was Saladin and how did he conquer the Franks? How did the Mamluks defeat the Mongols in the 1200s and usher in an era of prosperity for Gaza? Anita and William are joined by Jonathan Phillips, Professor of Crusading History at Royal Holloway, to discuss the epic era of the Crusades in Gaza, and the lesser-known but incredibly impactful Mamluk dynasty that followed.

This week we talk about the PKK, Turkey, and the DEM Party.We also discuss terrorism, discrimination, and stateless nations.Recommended Book: A Century of Tomorrows by Glenn AdamsonTranscriptKurdistan is a cultural region, not a country, but part of multiple countries, in the Middle East, spanning roughly the southeastern portion of Turkey, northern Iraq, the northwestern portion of Iran, and northern Syrian. Some definitions also include part of the Southern Caucasus mountains, which contains chunks of Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.So this is a sprawling region that straddles multiple nations, and it's defined by the presence of the Kurdish people, the Kurds, who live all over the world, but whose culture is concentrated in this area, where it originally developed, and where, over the generations, there have periodically been very short-lived Kurdish nations of various shapes, sizes, and compositions.The original dynasties from which the Kurds claim their origin were Egyptian, and they governed parts of northeastern African and what is today Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. That was back in the 8th to 12th century, during which Saladin, who was the sultan of both Egypt and Syria, played a major historical role leading Muslim military forces against the Christian Crusader states during the Third Crusade, and leading those forces to victory in 1187, which resulted in Muslim ownership of the Levant, even though the Crusaders continued to technically hold the Kingdom of Jerusalem for another hundred years or so, until 1291.Saladin was Kurdish and kicked off a sultanate that lasted until the mid-13th century, when a diverse group of former slave-soldiers called the mamluks overthrew Saladin's family's Ayyubid sultanate and replaced it with their own.So Kurdish is a language spoken in that Kurdistan region, and the Kurds are considered to be an Iranian ethnic group, because Kurdish is part of a larger collection of languages and ethnicities, though many Kurds consider themselves to be members of a stateless nation, similar in some ways to pre-Israel Jewish people, Tibetan people under China's rule, or the Yoruba people, who primarily live in Nigeria, Benin, and Togo, but who were previously oriented around a powerful city-state in that region, which served as the central loci of the Ife Empire, before the Europeans showed up and decided to forcibly move people around and draw new borders across the African continent.The Kurds are likewise often politically and culturally powerful, and that's led to a lot of pushback from leaders in the nations where they live and at times operate as cultural blocs, and it's led to some very short-lived Kurdish nations these people have managed to establish in the 20th century, including the Kingdom of Kurdistan from 1921-1924, the Republic of Ararat from 1927-1930, and the Republic of Mahabad, which was formed as a puppet state of the Soviet Union in 1946 in northwestern Iran, following a Soviet push for Kurdish nationalism in the region, which was meant to prevent the Allies from controlling the region following WWII, but which then dissolved just a few months after its official formation due to waning support from the Kurdish tribes that initially helped make it a reality.What I'd like to talk about today is the Kurdistan Worker's Party, and why their recently declared ceasefire with Turkey is being seen as a pretty big deal.—The Kurdistan Worker's Party, depending on who you ask, is a political organization or a terrorist organization. It was formed in Turkey in late-1978, and its original, founding goal was to create an independent Kurdish state, a modern Kurdistan, in what is today a small part of Turkey, but in the 1990s it shifted its stated goals to instead just get more rights for Kurds living in Turkey, including more autonomy but also just equal rights, as Kurdish people in many nations, including Turkey, have a long history of being discriminated against, in part because of their cultural distinctiveness, including their language, manner of dress, and cultural practices, and in part because, like many tight-knit ethnic groups, they often operate as a bloc, which in the age of democracy also means they often vote as a bloc, which can feel like a threat to other folks in areas with large Kurdish populations.When I say Kurdish people in Turkey have long been discriminated against, that includes things like telling them they can no longer speak Kurdish and denying that their ethnic group exists, but it also includes massacres conducted by the government against Kurdish people; at times tens of thousands of Kurds were slaughtered by the Turkish army. There was also an official ban on the words Kurds, Kurdistan, and Kurdish by the Turkish government in the 1980s, and Kurdish villages were destroyed, food headed to these villages was embargoed, and there was a long-time ban on the use of the Kurdish language in public life, and people who used it were arrested.As is often the case in such circumstances, folks who support the Kurdish Worker's Party, which is often shorthanded as the PKK, will tell you this group just pushes back against an oppressive regime, and they do what they have to to force the government to backtrack on their anti-Kurdish laws and abuses, which have been pretty widespread and violent.The PKK, in turn, has been criticized for, well, doing terrorist stuff, including using child soldiers, conducting suicide bombings, massacring groups of civilians, engaging in drug trafficking to fund their cause, and executing people on camera as a means of sowing terror.Pretty horrible stuff on both sides, if you look at this objectively, then, and both sides have historically justified their actions by pointing at the horrible things the other side has done to them and theirs.And that's the context for a recent announcement by the leader of the PKK, that the group would be disarming—and very literally so, including a symbolic burning of their weapons in a city in northern Iraq, which was shared online—and they would be shifting their efforts from that of violent militarism and revolution to that of political dialogue and attempting to change the Turkish government from the inside.Turkish President Erdogan, for his part, has seemed happy to oblige these efforts and gestures, fulfilling his role by receiving delegates from the Turkish, pro-Kurd party, the DEM Party, and smilingly shaking that delegate's hand on camera, basically showing the world, and those who have played some kind of role in the militant effort against the Turkish government, that this is the way of things now, we're not fighting physically anymore, we're moving on to wearing suits and pushing for Kurdish rights within the existing governmental structures.The founder of the PKK, Abdullah Ocalan, got in on the action, as well, releasing a seven-minute video from prison, which was then broadcast by the PKK's official media distribution outlet, saying that the fighting is over. This was his first appearance on camera in 26 years, and he used it to say their effort paid off, the Kurds now have an officially recognized identity, and it's time to leverage that identity politically to move things in the right direction.Erdogan's other messages on the matter, to the Kurdish people, but also those who have long lived in fear of the PKK's mass-violence, have reinforced that sentiment, saying that the Kurds are officially recognized as a political entity, and that's how things would play out from this point forward—and this will be good for everyone. And both sides are saying that, over and over, because, well, child soldiers and suicide bombings and massacres conducted by both sides are really, really not good for anyone.By all indications, this has been a very carefully orchestrated dance by those on both sides of the conflict, which again, has been ongoing since 1978, and really picked up the pace and became continuous and ultra-violent, in the 1980s.There was an attempted peace process back in the 20-teens, but the effort, which included a temporary truce between 2013 and 2015, failed, following the murder of two Turkish police officers, the PKK initially claiming responsibility, but later denying they had any involvement. That led to an uptick in military actions by both groups against the other, and the truce collapsed.This new peace process began in 2024 and really took off in late-February of 2025, when that aforementioned message was broadcast by the PKK's leader from prison after lawmakers from the pro-Kurdish DEM Party worked to connect him and the Turkish government, and eventually helped negotiate the resulting mid-May of 2025 disarmament.Turkey's military leaders have said they will continue to launch strikes against PKK-affiliated groups that continue to operate in the region, and the PKK's disarmament announcement has been embraced by some such groups, while others, like the Syrian Democratic Forces, which is tied to the PKK, but not directly affiliated with them, have said this truce doesn't apply to them.Most governments, globally, have heralded this disarmament as a major victory for the world and Turkey in particular, though the response within Turkey, and in Kurdish areas in particular, has apparently been mixed, with some people assuming the Turkish government will backtrack and keep the DEM Party from accomplishing much of anything, and worrying about behind-the-scenes deals, including a reported agreement between Erdogan's government and the DEM Party to support Erdogan's desire to transform the Turkish government into a presidential system, which would grant him more direct control and power, while others are seemingly just happy to hear that the violence and fear might end.Also notable here is that a lot of Turkey's foreign policy has revolved around hobbling and hurting the PKK for decades, including Turkey's initial hindering of Sweden's accession to NATO, which was partly a means of getting other nations to give the Turkish government stuff they wanted, like upgraded military equipment, but was also a push against the Swedish government's seeming protection of people associated with the PKK, since Sweden's constitution allows people to hold all sorts of beliefs.Some analysts have speculated that this could change the geopolitics of the Middle East fundamentally, as Turkey has long been a regional power, but has been partly hobbled by its conflict with the PKK, and the easing or removal of that conflict could free them up to become more dominant, especially since Israel's recent clobbering of Iran seems to have dulled the Iranian government's shine as the de facto leader of many Muslim groups and governments in the area.It's an opportune time for Erdogan to grab more clout and influence, in other words, and that might have been part of the motivation to go along with the PKK's shift to politics: it frees him and his military up to engage in some adventurism and/or posturing further afield, which could then set Turkey up as the new center of Muslim influence, contra-the Saudis' more globalized version of the concept, militarily and economically. Turkey could become a huge center of geopolitical gravity in this part of the world, in other words, and that seems even more likely now that this disarmament has happened.It's still early days in this new seeming state of affairs, though, and there's a chance that the Turkish government's continued strikes on operating PKK affiliated groups could sever these new ties, but those involved seem to be cleaving to at least some optimism, even as many locals continue hold their breath and hope against hope that this time is different than previous attempts at peace.Show Noteshttps://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/heres-what-to-know-about-turkeys-decision-to-move-forward-with-swedens-bid-to-join-natohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_PKK%E2%80%93Turkey_peace_processhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013%E2%80%932015_PKK%E2%80%93Turkey_peace_processhttps://carnegieendowment.org/emissary/2025/05/turkey-pkk-disarm-disband-impacts?lang=enhttps://www.middleeasteye.net/news/pkk-claims-deadly-suicide-bombing-turkish-police-stationhttps://web.archive.org/web/20161016064155/https://hrwf.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Child-soldiers-in-ISIS-PKK-Boko-Haram%E2%80%A6.pdfhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdistan_Workers%27_Partyhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2025/jul/11/kurdistan-workers-party-pkk-burn-weapons-in-disarming-ceremony-videohttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/18/turkiye-pkk-analysis-recalibrates-politicshttps://time.com/7303236/erdogan-war-peace-kurds/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/19/unidentified-drone-kills-pkk-member-injures-another-in-iraqhttps://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/unidentified-drone-kills-pkk-member-injures-another-near-iraqs-sulaymaniyah-2025-07-19/https://www.aljazeera.com/video/inside-story/2025/7/11/why-has-the-pkk-ended-its-armed-strugglehttps://archive.is/20250718061819/https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025-07-17/ty-article-opinion/.premium/how-the-possible-end-to-turkeys-kurdish-problem-could-become-israels-turkey-problem/00000198-1794-dd64-abb9-bfb5dbf30000https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdistanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Kurdish_dynasties_and_countrieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Kurdish_nationalism This is a public episode.
