Great video K&G, as always! It would be great to see such snapshots of history from other years as well. A small correction for Hungary: the first christian king of Hungary was St. Stephen I (the first), not the second, for obvious reasons, crowned in the year 1000. One of the national holidays of Hungary the upcoming August 20 celebrations commemorate this event. Stephen still had "pagan" name, Vajk. The conversion of Hungary to Christianity was a bloody affair leading to brutal civil wars but it ultimately contributed to the preservation of the kingdom, unlike other steppe-warrior conquerors that didn't make this move, like the Huns or Avars.
@@savioblanc The ethimology of word 'Hungary' is the Turkic On Oghur. It means ten tribes or ten arrows, it was a tribal alliance and Hungarians were part of this when they lived with the Khazars. The Byzantines started to call the Hungarians 'onogroui' or something like this and most of European languages adopted this word. The word 'hungarian' is a distorted form of 'onogur'. The word 'magyar' (hungarians' own name) came from the Proto-Ugric 'mons-' and the Turkic -er , meaning 'speaking people'.
Historically that region inhabited by the Nubians and kushites were a power house in the ancient world (I'm talking cradle of civilization ancient). Pioneering in agricultural technology, warfare (they were renown for their archery). Many more things aswell
@Admire Kashiri Can't blame people on what they don't know. But yes the Nubian had the kushite empire which covered a lot of land. Some sources stating to Southend Spain but that's not fully agreed upon
@@darkzi1431 The 25th dynasty isn't unknown. You shouldn't listen to these "some sources" and I guess that by "not fully agreed upon" you mean "as agreed upon as Ancient Aliens".
@@Thulzor It's documented that they covered parts of east Africa and western Asia (Levant). But what is not 100% proven is the kushite rule in Spain. I say this because some say a town in Spain is named after the king Terhaqa of the 25th dynasty. But you can't know for sure
@@darkzi1431 "Some sources stating to Southend Spain but that's not fully agreed upon" Lmao no reliable scholar would believe that bullshit. The 25th dynasty covered Sudan, Egypt and parts of the Levant.
The Normans assimilated more than they ruled England. They tried to destroy Celtic cultures and Anglo-Saxon culture. They never loved Britain. The Normans are a society that even betrayed their own culture. This is what i am thinking about Normans.
@@Jordan-wk2yr False. Through mass intermarriages during six generations, the normans nobles were nothing more than french feudals with a very small amount of norse/dane ancestry (you may check William the conqueror ancestral lineage, he had indeed very few actual scandinavian ancestors) The commonfolk in Normandy had even less "viking" ancestry than their leaders. As for norman's culture in 1066, at this point in history, they had strictly nothing in common with danes or norses of the "vikings" age (language, religion, architecture, way of life, warfare, social organisation, everything in Normandy was radically different from Scandinavia but common with other french duchies/counties) Fun fact : Harold Godwinson was far more "viking" than William, through his danish mother (William's mother was simply a local commoner).
@@elbentos7803 not an historian but highly doubt youre right. Normans got to be after the paris siege in the year 885 (looked it up) , to assume they lost their culture and blood ties in less than 200 years... could be but i wouldn't bet at it
The Hungarian-Polish-Croatian rise is to me the most fascinating in this era. Because we are all bombarded by the English/French/German, and muslim history all the time via tv shows or youtube, but no one digs deep in the central, and easter europe. How the heck did the small Polish, and croatian tribes manage to withstand the onslaugh of everyone and even have a kingdom at that time...lol
@@vuksrb1480 well all tribes from the balkan peninsula fell quickly. But they had kingdoms before the norsemen, before the brits, or spanish, or even the french. I mean you had the Bulgarian Empire, the Serbian, and Croatian kingdoms 200-300years before England was even a thing. Ofc this kingdoms were small and week and they all soon fell to the Ottomans, and remaind under their rule for hundreds of years. But still they were there for some time
@@Ectheli0n you have right but the point of history is not a speed road of which one made the first kingdom, such as '' i had kingdom 30 years before you, i had kingdom 300 years before you, i had kingdom 150 before you, i had kingdom 1 year before you'' etc.. a kingdom, an empire, any political regimen is different and can be place anywhere in time. but there is a period that many specific regimens can be born. for example we have the periods of kingdomns, of empires, of tribal organizations, depending the people and the area. all the people and the nations where at some point of history, bigger or smaller, under someone else or independent or autonomous. the world history is more complex.
@@vuksrb1480 Croatia was autonomous kingdom through entire of its history. It always retain its own Croatian Parliament (Hrvatski Sabor), untill 1918. Search on internet for document known as "Pacta conventa", where Hungarian king granted all previous rights and privilegies to Croatian noblemen. And Pavao Šubić, in year 1300, was ban of Croatia and master of Bosna (ban Hrvatske i gospodar Bosne) with its own metall-coined money; he brought new dinasty of Anjou from Napoli (Naples, Napulj) to the Hungarian throne. Also, Croatian Parliament elected independently in january 1527 in Cetingrad Ferdinand von Habsburg as a new king (there is existing document with this decision) , opposite to Hungarians who elected Johannes de Zapolia (Ivan Zapolja) for king. Croatian Parliament and autonomy was untill the 1918. But, after king Aleksandar Karađorđević was killed in 1934, regent Pavle understood that he had to make an agreement with Croats (Sporazum Cvetković-Maček) in 1939 (banovina Hrvatska within Kingdom of Jugoslavija). And so, while all Srbija was under Turkish Osmanlic goverment (15th to 19th century), Croatia had its own Parliament and autonomous rights. Many castles from northern Croatia built by Croatian noblemen (as Trakošćan, Veliki Tabor and so on) wittnes about prosperity and culture. Croats and Polaks are only two Slavic people with renaissance and baroque literature (Marko Marulić Marulus, the father of Croatian literature /1450-1527/, epic "Judita"; Ivan Gundulić, epic "Osman" and so on ...) During that time, Srbia was only reduced to be a province (pashaluk, vilayet) of Turkish Empire ... and there was no European culture in Srbia untill the 19th century ...
@@vuksrb1480 It didn't fall easy, considering the fact that it fought them back several times earlier. It was basically inherited by the Hungarian king.
1066 really was the precipice of the modern world. Before it, Anglo Saxons still ruled England, half of Spain and Sicily were Muslim, the Romans were still one of the world’s great powers, and the Turks had not quite broken through. After, England became England, Spain slowly became Spain, the Latin west established superiority over the orthodox east leading to the rise of Western Europe, the Romans’ terminal decline finally began, the Turks became a world power. A really, really fascinating time. Confusing, but extremely rewarding, to learn about. Great video and thanks so much!

3:46 racially motivated? I'm no history expert, but weren't the persecutions of Jewish people religiously motivated? I thought racial antisemitism only became a thing around the 19th century, but now I am curious, what traces are there of racially motivated antisemitism in 1066?
I assume "racially motivated" in this case is supposed to mean "because they were seen as foreigners". Not strictly "race"-based like since the 19th century but with more than just religious motivations.
I think it meant that it was meant more towards ethnic based violence as ethnic Jews are in the same race as other ethnic European/Middle Eastern groups.
@@pickle9974 ya still religions go against each other people dont understand that in old days conquest happened but now in modern times people cannot just go back to the countries where their ancestors came from.
The english throne rightfully belongs not to that damn bastard but to Norway! We may have failed to take that damn island in the viking age but this time around it shall be ours!
I am no Hungarian expert, but the I am sure that the FIRST Hungarian king was called Stephen I, rather than Stephen II. It should be logical inasmuch as Stephen is a Christian name notwithstanding that the Hungarian language nowise roots from the Latin.
You are right, Stephen I. was our first truly Christian ruler, who declared the conversion of the country, upgrading his title to king from grand-prince. And yes, it's his Christian name, he was called Vajk originally. I think they meant to say first, but made a mistake. But it's great to see that we are mentioned in this video, and that others are interested in our history.
@@mertkekevi3515 He was 'Fejedelem' what cant be translated to English, hence he is called 'Grand Prince', but in reality this title was closer to a Khagan than to a Prince.
The medieval is interesting. Not just that it gives birth to many fantasy tales but also unique Kingdoms at the time. Some retained their original name to this day and some doesn't.
I wish there'll be 732 AD start date " Battle of tours " it's a turning point in both European and Islamic history or even back to 717 AD " siege of Constantinople"
They did mention the steppes. There just wasn't much to talk about, since the Cuman effectively dominated it, and were the cause of all the conflict between the pechenegs (who were also mentioned) and the Romans, and the other steppe peoples getting pushed out.
@@Leivve What about the Volga Bulgarians? They had recently accepted Islam and were a dominant force in the region. Things could be said about the Finno-Ugric tribes and the rest of the Altaic people.

Unusual to see the County of Portucale - from which Portugal was born - displayed as part of the Kingdom of Galicia. In fact, that's correct, but we are so used to associate the County under the Kingdom of León that this seems (almost) odd.
We're used to it, god forbid anyone mentioned us in anything even if we were relevant. I have read books and seen documentaries of the Ottoman incursions into Europe that mentioned even Poland more than us!
@@wildfire9280 Yupp, they have written two about Serbia but then again, Croatia is constantly ignored so I would be surprised if they even knew what "a Croatia" even is
Brilliant video! I would be very interested if K&G continued to make content like this, of interesting dates and what was going on around the world at that time. It would help put a lot of events into better perspective!
Basil II was truly one of the best rulers ever. Hoping he’ll get an episode soon ❤️ Cant wait to prevent the Manzikert debacle as Michael VII Doukas! 😁
Again a very good video. In 1066 the most important event was the conquer of England by Franks in battle of Hastings which you have already presented. Since anglosaxons were in moral collapse, they easily accepted catholic faith of franks which determined their history thereafter.
You broke my heart by not even slightly mentioning georgia, which would have its golden age in several decades and being one of the prominent powers in the region 💔
@Kings and Generals only way to repent is to make in depth review of battle of Didgori and king david the builder 😂😂❤️ P. S. I dont think that there are many battles in hostory where 55000 man strong army completely routs army of 250 000 man
Good Mardook!, I love these Global year over views. It's tying together dozens of the other deep dive videos. I've learned more about history in the last 5 months than in the previous 10 years thanks to channels like K&J, Invictus and a few others.
2:54 - I think you meant Stephen I, because he embraced Chatolicism, Stephen II was ruling from 1116-1131. Nevertheless it was a great video, I learnt much about my favorite subject, History! It was just bothering me... :)

I pick early dates for achievements mainly like in CK2 some achievements have set start dates or 867 for example has an independent Zoroastrian ruler who is not a horde.
@@filipz8831 EU4 has other issues that make 1444 the start to choose, The later start dates aren't in a particularly good state given that they haven't been maintained and updated with all the DLC releases and that's before you get into how busted the game gets when you switch between dates before you've even started the game.

Great video K&G, as always! It would be great to see such snapshots of history from other years as well. A small correction for Hungary: the first christian king of Hungary was St. Stephen I (the first), not the second, for obvious reasons, crowned in the year 1000. One of the national holidays of Hungary the upcoming August 20 celebrations commemorate this event. Stephen still had "pagan" name, Vajk. The conversion of Hungary to Christianity was a bloody affair leading to brutal civil wars but it ultimately contributed to the preservation of the kingdom, unlike other steppe-warrior conquerors that didn't make this move, like the Huns or Avars.

@@savioblanc And in the dual honfoglalás theory the Magyars got their foreign name from their (I think) brothers or very close relatives, the Onogurs.
@@savioblanc The ethimology of word 'Hungary' is the Turkic On Oghur. It means ten tribes or ten arrows, it was a tribal alliance and Hungarians were part of this when they lived with the Khazars. The Byzantines started to call the Hungarians 'onogroui' or something like this and most of European languages adopted this word. The word 'hungarian' is a distorted form of 'onogur'.
The word 'magyar' (hungarians' own name) came from the Proto-Ugric 'mons-' and the Turkic -er , meaning 'speaking people'.

Last time I was this early, the Normans didn’t rule England yet
@@appleslover normands where vikings settled in france, they werent french
The Normans assimilated more than they ruled England. They tried to destroy Celtic cultures and Anglo-Saxon culture. They never loved Britain. The Normans are a society that even betrayed their own culture. This is what i am thinking about Normans.
hadn't ruled England yet*
@@Jordan-wk2yr
False.
Through mass intermarriages during six generations, the normans nobles were nothing more than french feudals with a very small amount of norse/dane ancestry (you may check William the conqueror ancestral lineage, he had indeed very few actual scandinavian ancestors)
The commonfolk in Normandy had even less "viking" ancestry than their leaders.
As for norman's culture in 1066, at this point in history, they had strictly nothing in common with danes or norses of the "vikings" age (language, religion, architecture, way of life, warfare, social organisation, everything in Normandy was radically different from Scandinavia but common with other french duchies/counties)
Fun fact : Harold Godwinson was far more "viking" than William, through his danish mother (William's mother was simply a local commoner).
@@elbentos7803 not an historian but highly doubt youre right. Normans got to be after the paris siege in the year 885 (looked it up) , to assume they lost their culture and blood ties in less than 200 years... could be but i wouldn't bet at it

The Hungarian-Polish-Croatian rise is to me the most fascinating in this era. Because we are all bombarded by the English/French/German, and muslim history all the time via tv shows or youtube, but no one digs deep in the central, and easter europe. How the heck did the small Polish, and croatian tribes manage to withstand the onslaugh of everyone and even have a kingdom at that time...lol
Echtelion Croats falls easy to Hungarians soon and remain around 900 years under their rule.
So, they didnt really managed to prosper.
@@vuksrb1480 well all tribes from the balkan peninsula fell quickly. But they had kingdoms before the norsemen, before the brits, or spanish, or even the french. I mean you had the Bulgarian Empire, the Serbian, and Croatian kingdoms 200-300years before England was even a thing. Ofc this kingdoms were small and week and they all soon fell to the Ottomans, and remaind under their rule for hundreds of years. But still they were there for some time
@@Ectheli0n you have right but the point of history is not a speed road of which one made the first kingdom, such as '' i had kingdom 30 years before you, i had kingdom 300 years before you, i had kingdom 150 before you, i had kingdom 1 year before you'' etc..
a kingdom, an empire, any political regimen is different and can be place anywhere in time. but there is a period that many specific regimens can be born. for example we have the periods of kingdomns, of empires, of tribal organizations, depending the people and the area.
all the people and the nations where at some point of history, bigger or smaller, under someone else or independent or autonomous. the world history is more complex.
@@vuksrb1480 Croatia was autonomous kingdom through entire of its history. It always retain its own Croatian Parliament (Hrvatski Sabor), untill 1918. Search on internet for document known as "Pacta conventa", where Hungarian king granted all previous rights and privilegies to Croatian noblemen. And Pavao Šubić, in year 1300, was ban of Croatia and master of Bosna (ban Hrvatske i gospodar Bosne) with its own metall-coined money; he brought new dinasty of Anjou from Napoli (Naples, Napulj) to the Hungarian throne. Also, Croatian Parliament elected independently in january 1527 in Cetingrad Ferdinand von Habsburg as a new king (there is existing document with this decision) , opposite to Hungarians who elected Johannes de Zapolia (Ivan Zapolja) for king. Croatian Parliament and autonomy was untill the 1918. But, after king Aleksandar Karađorđević was killed in 1934, regent Pavle understood that he had to make an agreement with Croats (Sporazum Cvetković-Maček) in 1939 (banovina Hrvatska within Kingdom of Jugoslavija). And so, while all Srbija was under Turkish Osmanlic goverment (15th to 19th century), Croatia had its own Parliament and autonomous rights. Many castles from northern Croatia built by Croatian noblemen (as Trakošćan, Veliki Tabor and so on) wittnes about prosperity and culture. Croats and Polaks are only two Slavic people with renaissance and baroque literature (Marko Marulić Marulus, the father of Croatian literature /1450-1527/, epic "Judita"; Ivan Gundulić, epic "Osman" and so on ...) During that time, Srbia was only reduced to be a province (pashaluk, vilayet) of Turkish Empire ... and there was no European culture in Srbia untill the 19th century ...
@@vuksrb1480 It didn't fall easy, considering the fact that it fought them back several times earlier. It was basically inherited by the Hungarian king.
1066 really was the precipice of the modern world. Before it, Anglo Saxons still ruled England, half of Spain and Sicily were Muslim, the Romans were still one of the world’s great powers, and the Turks had not quite broken through.
After, England became England, Spain slowly became Spain, the Latin west established superiority over the orthodox east leading to the rise of Western Europe, the Romans’ terminal decline finally began, the Turks became a world power. A really, really fascinating time. Confusing, but extremely rewarding, to learn about.

3:46 racially motivated? I'm no history expert, but weren't the persecutions of Jewish people religiously motivated? I thought racial antisemitism only became a thing around the 19th century, but now I am curious, what traces are there of racially motivated antisemitism in 1066?
Wants to stay monetized
@@savioblanc The Jews were subject to the same amount of prosecution in Europe.
I assume "racially motivated" in this case is supposed to mean "because they were seen as foreigners". Not strictly "race"-based like since the 19th century but with more than just religious motivations.
I think it meant that it was meant more towards ethnic based violence as ethnic Jews are in the same race as other ethnic European/Middle Eastern groups.
It was both religiously and racially motivated. They didnt persecute other religions as badly

I am no Hungarian expert, but the I am sure that the FIRST Hungarian king was called Stephen I, rather than Stephen II. It should be logical inasmuch as Stephen is a Christian name notwithstanding that the Hungarian language nowise roots from the Latin.
Maybe Stephen 1 was not a king but a duke?
@@Goratrix66 ahah I know, I checked wiki afterwards, but it was a good guess wasnt it?
You are right, Stephen I. was our first truly Christian ruler, who declared the conversion of the country, upgrading his title to king from grand-prince. And yes, it's his Christian name, he was called Vajk originally. I think they meant to say first, but made a mistake. But it's great to see that we are mentioned in this video, and that others are interested in our history.
And the name Stephen is the English version too, the Hungarian form is István.
@@mertkekevi3515 He was 'Fejedelem' what cant be translated to English, hence he is called 'Grand Prince', but in reality this title was closer to a Khagan than to a Prince.
