Fuck game of thrones... we need to teach our generation the real history of the middle ages. There is so many great leaders, kings, and warriors who are so interesting.
Pic related is CHARLES MARTEL who in the summer of 732 drove out the invading Muslims in the battle of tours. Without him, western civilization as we know it would not exist.

Without the knowledge of this Moorish scholar, Europe would have never got to the 'age of enlightenment' and we would pretty much still live in the dark ages.

>And in his days [Yaqub al-Mansur], Abu al-Walid Ibn Rushd faced his severe ordeal and there were two causes for this; one is known and the other is secret. The secret cause, which was the major reason, is that Abu al-Walid—may God have mercy on his soul—when summarizing, commenting and expending upon Aristotle's book "History of Animals" wrote: "And I saw the Giraffe at the garden of the king of the Berbers".
>And that is the same way he would mention another king of some other people or land, as it is frequently done by writers, but he omitted that those working for the service of the king should glorify him and observe the usual protocol. This was why they held a grudge against him but initially, they did not show it and in reality, Abu al-Walid wrote that inadvertently ... Then a number of his enemies in Cordoba, who were jealous of him and were competing with him both in knowledge and nobility, went to Yaqub al-Mansur with excerpts of Abu Walid's work on some old philosophers which were in his own handwriting. They took one phrase out of context that said: "and it was shown that Venus is one of the Gods" and presented it to the king who then summoned the chiefs and noblemen of Córdoba and said to Abu al-Walid in front of them "Is this your handwriting?". Abu al-Walid then denied and the king said "May God curse the one who wrote this" and ordered that Abu al-Walid be exiled and all the philosophy books to be gathered and burned ... And I saw, when I was in Fes, these books being carried on horses in great quantities and burned[22]

King John of England. Despite popular culture opinions where he's the bad guy vs Robin Hood, it was only because of him that the ransom for his brother Richard the Lionhearted was even raised and got him out of trouble with the Holy Roman Emperor. On top of that if it hadn't been for King John- the Angevin Empire would never have formed nor would any Common Law been established.
1. There's no such thing as "Belgian", you mean Flemish.
2. That's a lie based on a single journalists claim without any form of citation referring to a time where the peasantry supposedly had potatoes before they were introduced to the region and were somehow rich enough to buy copious amounts of expensive olive oil.
French fries are called French fries because they're French. The French narrative is that they were invented arount Pont Neuf on the eve of the French Revolution. This is about a decade after Parmentier introduced the potato to France, aiming at both the upper and lower classes and therefore designing multiple dishes centered around the potato (including Hachis Parmentier). We actually have multiple citations from the era backing this thesis up, including Franklin (who was US ambassador in Paris for a while) requesting a dish that sounds suspiciously like French fries from his French chef.
Is Flanders truly so pathetic that they have to steal history from their betters to pretend they're even halfway equal to the Dutch?

>On top of that if it hadn't been for King John- the Angevin Empire would never have formed
Except the Angevin Empire was disbanded under his rule, nigger. It was formed when duke Henry of Normandy (later Henry II of England) married Eleonore of Aquitaine. On top of that, it's true that Common Law would not exist without John, but that only came into being because so many barons rose up against John to the point of declaring Louis the Lion their king. Common Law exists because John was a bit shit.
tl;dr
No one asked you something Kees. Go eat some frikandellen from the wall.

If you actually read real history (not the shit they teach in school) you will notice that jews were despised in almost every nation / kingdom. Of course they dindu nuffin wrong, those white goys just had the "anti-semitism" disease. Yes, they hated jews for no reason!
