After Augsburg, the Germans gave up their plans to expel the Hungarians. It took a hundred years for them to attack Hungary again. The end was a resounding failure... István, the first Hungarian king, married a Bavarian princess, and the peace was sealed with a dynastic marriage. Christianity, which was already known to the nomadic Hungarians, became the state religion. Hungarian combat tactics continued to live and develop for centuries. the Hungarian hussar was a legendary warrior. Thanks for the informative video and the correct narration!😊

It was also Hungarian battles around Vienna in 862 and 881. Between 899 and 970, according to contemporary sources, the researchers count 47 (38 to West and 9 to East) raids in different parts of Europe. From these Hungarian campaigns only 8 were unsuccessful and the others ended with success. 3 reasons of the campaigns: 1 most of the time Hungarians were hired by western powers each other, and they allied always with the weaker party (of course the booty was the payment as everywhere by everybody in medieval times), 2 prevent the German unification after the Battle of Pressburg 907 when Germans invaded Hungary, 3 claim back the Avar treasures which was taken by the Franks. At Lechfeld (sources mention betrayal, as Grand Prince Taksony wanted remove his rivals) a small Hungarian army was defeated deep in German land, and Germans did not dare to attack Hungary since 907, the next German attack was only in 1030 and in 1051 with German defeats.

Hungarian is a French word, Magyar is the original and authentic name of that culture. You are either Magyar or not! There is no such thing as Hungarian. That's a made up word by the ignorant French. Hungarians never establishing Magyar orszag, Magyars established Magyar orszag.
Very intersting series, knew very little about the Magyars. If you would want to find more less known early medieval history it would me much apreciated!
The Holy Roman Empire may have standed for more than 800 years, but Hungary still stands today. :) BTW, the defeat at Lechfeld did not end the Hungarian raids, just diverted those to South-Europe. There the raids still continued for another 40 or so years, before the Hungarians finally settled and converted to Christianity.
Graves of Hungarian conquerors had Christian chest crosses, so many of them they already know Christianity. King Saint Stephen just adopted western style Christianity. Gyula of Transylvania, and Bulcsu was already baptized about 950 in Constantinople, he was the "guest friend of the emperor".
@@aliengalaxy6096 Sure, adopting roman catholicism was not a momentary, sudden event, it was a long process. And yes, many Hungarians adopted the orthodox catholicism as well. Still King Stephen had issues with pagans - or better to say, the old Hungarian shamanic religion.

This was an incredible series y'all made. Not sure why but I've always loved playing as the Hungarians/Magyars in CK2 and CK3 so this was fun to learn so much about them
So that's how the Holy Roman Empire was created, Otto The Great really is the goat. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, hands down the best youtuber
I'm grateful you uploaded all the parts. Great job as always. Also, I'm sure people tell you this online all the time but please don't become a CWI channel. I feel like every history YT channel I used to love is becoming exactly that. I'm super grateful for the work you do. Thanks History Marche.
I love to dive into the thrilling saga of the early hungarians. This video brilliantly captures the fierce determination and strategic brilliance of the Magyars as they carve out a new destiny in Europe.
Graves of Hungarian conquerors had Christian chest crosses, so many of them they already know Christianity. King Saint Stephen just adopted western style Christianity around 1000. Chieftain Gyula, captain Bulcsu... were already baptized around 950 in Constantinople. Bulcsu got a title "Roman patrician and guest friend of the Byzantine emperor"
Great video. Amazing also to see how far this channel has come in quality when you see that part 2 was made earlier, and how much better they’ve become since then.
Following Great Bulgaria's collapse, the seven Magyar tribes became tributaries of the Khazars, from whom they acquired the tradition of dual political rulers: A sacred, figurehead chief (kende, or kündü) and a vice-chief (gyula), who was military commander and de facto leader. The gyula was seconded by an officer entitled horka (or karchas). The Magyars broke with the Khazars sometime in the early ninth cen- tury and established an independent tribal federation on the south- ern steppes north of the Sea of Azov, a region called Levadia by the Byzantines. They were joined by three breakaway Turkish Khazar tribes, the Kabars, who served as important military auxiliaries in the Magyars' main mounted force, always positioned in the forefront during combat because of their recognized warrior ethos. Beyond this fact, little is known about early Magyar military organization. One can assume that, like most other steppe peoples, they fielded light and medium cavalry composed of all able-bodied armed men from the federation's tribes, led by their tribal chiefs and formed into decimal-based sized units. These tribal units may have been structured along clan lines, with each under the authority of its respective clan leader. The gyula served as the over- all force commander and led an elite retinue, as did each of his tribal chiefs. At the time of their participation in the hegemonic wars, the total Magyar military may have numbered some 20,000 warriors. Sometime in the mid-ninth century the Magyars moved westward from Levadia to the steppe region lying between the Dnieper River and the mouth of the Danube that they called Etelköz (or Atalkuzu), encom- passing Bessarabia (m: Moldova). This action may have been forced on them by another steppe people pressing from the east-the Pechenegs. Pecheneg origins lay in the heart of Central Asia, east of the Aral Sea. At first a loose nomadic Turkic grouping, the Pechenegs were brought within a large tribal conglomerate governed by the Western Turks, who constituted half of a large Turkic empire stretching from Mongolia to the borders of Sassanid Persia by the early seventh century. In the 550s that vast empire broke into western and eastern halves, with the former controlling much of Central Asia and the latter holding Mongolia and a large portion of northern China. By the middle of the seventh century China destroyed the Eastern Turkic state while the western one dissolved into intertribal warfare.
Tribes have always had leaders, its not a concept that the magyars adapted from the khazars, who like western nations were very dependent on magyar military prowess. So dependent that their khagnate seized to exist shortly after the Hungarians left to reconquer the homeland. The khazars were defeated by a people the hungarians already had beaten, the kiev russ. The kabars followed the magyars because they knew what was best for them (saw where the khagnate was heading) and they sought refuge under the hungarians. There are theories claiming the Kabars to have been jewish, and broke with the Khazars after Judaism became the state religion in khazaria. The kabars broke and rebelled because the state didnt follow the jewish laws properly and were later expelled and sought refuge under magyars and also kiev russ. No nomadic tribe has conquered further west than the huns and the magyars,( because they couldnt). The Hungarian kingdom later assimilated or expelled kipchaks and cumans who tried to come into europe from the east.
About the Magyar war tactics and organization there is a very good contemporary work: Taktika written in 904 by the Byzantine Emperor Leo the Wise. Kabars were not in the forefront of the battles because they were more brave, but because joining as the last tribes the confederation, according to the nomadic tradition, their place was established as such. In all nomadic empires, the last tribes that joined the Empire, had to serve on the vanguard or rearguard.
Hey! I wanted to let you know that I love this series, it is amazing and it is making for me the side of history I always hated in school (battles and dates) interesting. I especially love the visualisation of all the battles on the maps. However, I find that your maps are not always correct when it cames to towns and cities. I noticed this with the video about the battle of the Teutoburg Forrest as well. In this one, when you are talking about Luitpold marching towards Pannonia, Szombathely is shown just north of Pressburg and west of nitra. That place, in reality, is either Senec or Trnava. Szombathely is, in fact, south of Sopron on the other side of the Danube and is still called Szombathely today.
The story is incomplete. The quarelling german nobles indítsd the Hungarians to fight on their side against Otto. Thete wte several big battles. In 937 and 954 was Hungarian victories. In 955 was German victory but the attacking hungarian force was small. They was 5000 men.
I'm Hungarian. You need to understand the absolute ambivalent mentality of my people. This is a quick guide: 1. We were defeated by: The Holy Roman Empire (Otto), the Tatars, the Ottomans, the Habsburgs in the XVIII. and XIX. centuries, in WWI and in WWII; we were subjugated by the Ottomans, the Habsburgs, and the Soviets. This is not a complete list. So yeah, you might find it, that we are pretty depressed people. All the losses. All the suffering. And some of them are permament of course. But... 2. On the other hand, and this is a common secret among us: you foreign people do realise, that after all these defeats, we are still here, and still kicking? How dense of a people can be, if you cannot destroy them with the strongest empire of that particular era? You might defeat us, yes. Step in the line, have a cookie and enjoy your victory. We will outlive you, your grandchildren, your empire, and one day, you will find the very same people you thought killed, on the opposite side of the negotiating table. We Hungarians are dense. I am proud to be Hungarian. If another Hungarian starts to rant about how bad it is to be Hungarian novadays, please refer to section point 1. of my comment. Thank you. Have a nice day.
the difference between Hungary and all those countries is that they where Empires. where at one point they stretch too far to be governed properly and eventually they break up due to internal conflicts. the Holy Roman Empire where just a bunch of estates being held together. if Hungary had imperial ambitious and spread too far, they would cease to exist unless they ended up like the Mongols
@@ernestogastelum9123 Being an Empire means that the given country assimilated other countries, like how the Roman Empire did. Hungary was only part of Austria as an empire several times through history, that’s it, no more countries were involved. A country formed from different ethnic groups doesn’t means it is an empire… Read some history mate.
Excellent, detailed presentation. When we were taught about Magyar invasion, I thought that they had armies of 100,000 men. It was surprising to me to learn that they won battles and made successful raids with a few thousand horsemen. It was the ineptitude of the German and other (Great Moravian, Italian) leaders to learn quickly the Magyar war tactics and make appropriate adjustments. The other aspect, as in many other European history situations, was infighting instead of common action against an intruder (Mongol and especially later, Turk invasions). I have a question about Magyars economy - as a nomadic people where did they get resources for the production of weapons, armament and gears?

I’m excited to learn about this time period, since my interest has mostly been on the 1500s and onward in Europe. I’ll leave a comment here for the algorithm.
The West has always been afraid of the Hungarians, that's why we had to be divided, even though we defended Europe for centuries in vain, this was the West's gratitude for Trianon!!!!
@@ganizhunis910 Since the Scythians, and later the Huns, established states far more advanced and larger than the Roman Empire under Attila, even occupying much of Roman territory, they were not nomads but primarily traders and mercenaries. The concept of the "Amazon" also stems from the fact that while men went to war or engaged in trade, women maintained control over the slaves. The Greeks mistakenly thought that the slaves were the men in their society. In every way, their society was more advanced than early medieval or ancient Europe. Just look up "Scythian gold."
The Mongols were nomadic warriors, were they not?? And they were superior badasses, so why are you taking offence? Also, being skilled and being badly armed are separate things; he can say you are the latter without taking away from you in regards to the former.
For sure! Except, that the Vikings were both from, and operated in, Europe 🤦🏻♂️ An analogy that might make some sense could be a reference to the Magyars as "terrestrial Vikings", or something about the Magyars being "Vikings that used steeds of flesh & bone, instead of oar & sail." But even those are pretty poor comparisons, given that Vikings spent the vast majority of their time on solid ground, and certainly were habitual riders (although they did not enter combat mounted).
@@OfficialUKGov The Vikings were essentially just your average white American football fan when they don’t get their way That’s why there’s a team named after them
I really like your type of explaining every battle with Details, tho i would be greatly appreciated if you considered a video about Perso-Roman wars if possible.
Until the ottoman times, Hungary regularly kept german felt superiority at bay. Unfortunate for us, by the 16th century the ottoman had 8-9million gold income, whereas UK, France,HRE wasn combined. We didnt stand much chance.
What a great video, very factual and enjoyable at the same time. Maybe more emphasis could have been put on eastern campaigns, since the same went on against the Byzantine empire, until 970.
I see the westerners have not changed anything.This condescending attitude is very disgusting.The Hungarian riders were no worse than the Westerners, this is cultural racism.The Hungarians also had armor.They also held their own in close combat.They always highlight only the Hungarians' acquisition of booty, everyone did this in this age.What kind of destruction did Vikings carry out, isn't that a problem?
It's pretty clear the degree of disconnect between Western Europe and Rome in this period. The complete unfamiliarity of East Francian and Italian military leaders with Horse archers demonstrates, for example, the they weren't familiar with Crassus' defeat at Carrhae, for example.
Since the Magyars were such a dominant force in the heart of Europe it always reminded me of the book of Judges and Joshua, how the Israelites with the power of God were able to conquer the promised land. And since the Magyars had lived along side a Jewish state like the Khazaria im sure they were familiar with the Tanakh and were inspired by the scriptures to do the same. And i believe they were therefore lesser pagan than what the author calls them which is why they won the majority of the battles and succeeded with their goal. They later converted to Christianity and were given the Holy Crown from the Pope, made in Constantinople which is an honor given more than any other nation in Europe had gained prior. And Hungary produced countless of heroes who fought for the nation and the christian europe and still does to this day.
@@bogrec5305 you really think being Christian made them win more battles? They were winning battles before they were Christian? I don’t get it. You really think a god intervened and made them win?
@@upsidedownnugget9531 First and foremost, I am fully entitled to my opinion and what I wrote above is my own point of view based on historical facts, geography and self recognition. To understand my statement one has to know the basics about the Abrahamic religions. Judaism came before Christianity and the Jews were first to call other peoples pagans. A pagan in turn is someone who does not recognize the God of Abraham, Isac and Jacob and worships other dieties instead. Prior to returning to the Carpathian Basin, the Magyars thrived within a tribal federation called the Khazar Khagnate, which official religion was of Judaism, although historians agree that other religions were accepted within the federation. Without repeating myself too much, you can see historically why it would be ignorant to assume that the Magyars did not know the One and Only True Living God before entering Europe. Im also drawing parallels to this fact on how the Magyars dominated their foes, much like the Israelites did when conquering the promised land in the Bible. Being Christian made Hungary a recognized nation, just like every other nation in Europe after accepting the faith. When nations were formed, Christianity was accepted and the pagans within the countries were wiped out, because their foundations were weak and dietes were false and the traditions they wanted to withhold was immoral. And for European nations to keep their nation alive they have to hold on to the roots which made them exist in the first place. The Hungarian roots were therefore stronger than their surroundings which made them exist and be a strong influence in the heart of Europe since day one. Our first King was sanctified, it was such a celebration when Hungary as a nation officially joined the body of Christ , We recieved the Crown which was made in one of Great capitals of Europe at the time, Constantinople. Stephen is sanctified in both the Orthodox and the Catholic church, we are recognized by both authorities of each global church as a nation and have their blessing. Therefore people of each denominations who is against our existence try to lesser our role history and the in body, goes against their own authorities, and are hypocrites. The word pagan can sometimes be used very loosely. If a person or people is called pagan, it is is assumed that they have no relationship or has rejected the True God and source of life and wisdom. The fruits thereof is a miserable life. 'Calling someone pagan can therefore be done to feel morally superior and sometimes to compensate for ones peoples own lack of power of ation or moral compass. I belive this is the case in this video. Merry Christmas to you, and God bless you.

Am I rewatching the same video in the final 30 minute? I swear I saw the... yeah! 1:17:30 is the same exact battle as 1:33:30, just introduced differently and with slightly different details. I'm annoyed to only realize this now, but the animation is even the same. Edit: looking back it does change a bit, but still repeats that part
It says [ALL PARTS] in the title. I merge episodes like this into a single video for easier viewing, for those who want to have all episodes in one place.
There was no "Serbia" back then. There Wes small duchy of Rashka in nowadays southern Serbia. The name Serbia appeared in the 13th century, after Serbs conquered northern Greece and the town of Thessaloniki.
From the etymology of the name, I would guess that they were descendants of a certain Drago. The name Drago originated from the Slavic language and holds its roots in the Slavic culture. Derived from the word drag, meaning precious, Drago reflects characteristics of something that is cherished or highly valued.

Hungarian is a French word, Magyar is the original and authentic name of that culture. You are either Magyar or not! There is no such thing as Hungarian. That's a made up word by the ignorant French. Hungarians never establishing Magyar orszag, Magyars established Magyar orszag.
The greatest channel I've had the privilege of discovering
Very intersting series, knew very little about the Magyars. If you would want to find more less known early medieval history it would me much apreciated!
The Holy Roman Empire may have standed for more than 800 years, but Hungary still stands today. :)
BTW, the defeat at Lechfeld did not end the Hungarian raids, just diverted those to South-Europe. There the raids still continued for another 40 or so years, before the Hungarians finally settled and converted to Christianity.
Graves of Hungarian conquerors had Christian chest crosses, so many of them they already know Christianity. King Saint Stephen just adopted western style Christianity. Gyula of Transylvania, and Bulcsu was already baptized about 950 in Constantinople, he was the "guest friend of the emperor".
@@aliengalaxy6096 Sure, adopting roman catholicism was not a momentary, sudden event, it was a long process. And yes, many Hungarians adopted the orthodox catholicism as well. Still King Stephen had issues with pagans - or better to say, the old Hungarian shamanic religion.
Germany also still exist today?

Wil we also get a video on the Magyar raid into muslim Spain?
This was an incredible series y'all made. Not sure why but I've always loved playing as the Hungarians/Magyars in CK2 and CK3 so this was fun to learn so much about them
Still love your videos. I like watching them this way so I know I didn’t skip any
Can you make a video about Croatian history, because its really unerrated and full of stories?
So that's how the Holy Roman Empire was created, Otto The Great really is the goat. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, hands down the best youtuber

Graves of Hungarian conquerors had Christian chest crosses, so many of them they already know Christianity. King Saint Stephen just adopted western style Christianity around 1000. Chieftain Gyula, captain Bulcsu... were already baptized around 950 in Constantinople. Bulcsu got a title "Roman patrician and guest friend of the Byzantine emperor"

Following Great Bulgaria's collapse, the seven Magyar tribes became tributaries of the Khazars, from whom they acquired the tradition of dual political rulers: A sacred, figurehead chief (kende, or kündü) and a vice-chief (gyula), who was military commander and de facto leader. The gyula was seconded by an officer entitled horka (or karchas). The Magyars broke with the Khazars sometime in the early ninth cen- tury and established an independent tribal federation on the south- ern steppes north of the Sea of Azov, a region called Levadia by the Byzantines. They were joined by three breakaway Turkish Khazar tribes, the Kabars, who served as important military auxiliaries in the Magyars' main mounted force, always positioned in the forefront during combat because of their recognized warrior ethos. Beyond this fact, little is known about early Magyar military organization. One can assume that, like most other steppe peoples, they fielded light and medium cavalry composed of all able-bodied armed men from the federation's tribes, led by their tribal chiefs and formed into decimal-based sized units. These tribal units may have been structured along clan lines, with each under the authority of its respective clan leader. The gyula served as the over- all force commander and led an elite retinue, as did each of his tribal chiefs. At the time of their participation in the hegemonic wars, the total Magyar military may have numbered some 20,000 warriors. Sometime in the mid-ninth century the Magyars moved westward from Levadia to the steppe region lying between the Dnieper River and the mouth of the Danube that they called Etelköz (or Atalkuzu), encom- passing Bessarabia (m: Moldova). This action may have been forced on them by another steppe people pressing from the east-the Pechenegs. Pecheneg origins lay in the heart of Central Asia, east of the Aral Sea. At first a loose nomadic Turkic grouping, the Pechenegs were brought within a large tribal conglomerate governed by the Western Turks, who constituted half of a large Turkic empire stretching from Mongolia to the borders of Sassanid Persia by the early seventh century. In the 550s that vast empire broke into western and eastern halves, with the former controlling much of Central Asia and the latter holding Mongolia and a large portion of northern China. By the middle of the seventh century China destroyed the Eastern Turkic state while the western one dissolved into intertribal warfare.
Tribes have always had leaders, its not a concept that the magyars adapted from the khazars, who like western nations were very dependent on magyar military prowess. So dependent that their khagnate seized to exist shortly after the Hungarians left to reconquer the homeland. The khazars were defeated by a people the hungarians already had beaten, the kiev russ. The kabars followed the magyars because they knew what was best for them (saw where the khagnate was heading) and they sought refuge under the hungarians. There are theories claiming the Kabars to have been jewish, and broke with the Khazars after Judaism became the state religion in khazaria. The kabars broke and rebelled because the state didnt follow the jewish laws properly and were later expelled and sought refuge under magyars and also kiev russ. No nomadic tribe has conquered further west than the huns and the magyars,( because they couldnt). The Hungarian kingdom later assimilated or expelled kipchaks and cumans who tried to come into europe from the east.
About the Magyar war tactics and organization there is a very good contemporary work: Taktika written in 904 by the Byzantine Emperor Leo the Wise. Kabars were not in the forefront of the battles because they were more brave, but because joining as the last tribes the confederation, according to the nomadic tradition, their place was established as such. In all nomadic empires, the last tribes that joined the Empire, had to serve on the vanguard or rearguard.

"Invasion of Western Europe." I think this might be the vaguest title for a documentary I've ever seen...great show though!
You r right cos it was also an invasion of South and Central Europe. The Eastern Roman Empire Byzantium was just another taxpayer of Hungary.
Hey! I wanted to let you know that I love this series, it is amazing and it is making for me the side of history I always hated in school (battles and dates) interesting. I especially love the visualisation of all the battles on the maps. However, I find that your maps are not always correct when it cames to towns and cities. I noticed this with the video about the battle of the Teutoburg Forrest as well. In this one, when you are talking about Luitpold marching towards Pannonia, Szombathely is shown just north of Pressburg and west of nitra. That place, in reality, is either Senec or Trnava. Szombathely is, in fact, south of Sopron on the other side of the Danube and is still called Szombathely today.
The story is incomplete. The quarelling german nobles indítsd the Hungarians to fight on their side against Otto. Thete wte several big battles. In 937 and 954 was Hungarian victories. In 955 was German victory but the attacking hungarian force was small. They was 5000 men.
I'm Hungarian. You need to understand the absolute ambivalent mentality of my people. This is a quick guide:
1. We were defeated by: The Holy Roman Empire (Otto), the Tatars, the Ottomans, the Habsburgs in the XVIII. and XIX. centuries, in WWI and in WWII; we were subjugated by the Ottomans, the Habsburgs, and the Soviets. This is not a complete list. So yeah, you might find it, that we are pretty depressed people. All the losses. All the suffering. And some of them are permament of course.
But...
2. On the other hand, and this is a common secret among us: you foreign people do realise, that after all these defeats, we are still here, and still kicking? How dense of a people can be, if you cannot destroy them with the strongest empire of that particular era? You might defeat us, yes. Step in the line, have a cookie and enjoy your victory. We will outlive you, your grandchildren, your empire, and one day, you will find the very same people you thought killed, on the opposite side of the negotiating table. We Hungarians are dense. I am proud to be Hungarian.
If another Hungarian starts to rant about how bad it is to be Hungarian novadays, please refer to section point 1. of my comment. Thank you. Have a nice day.
the difference between Hungary and all those countries is that they where Empires. where at one point they stretch too far to be governed properly and eventually they break up due to internal conflicts. the Holy Roman Empire where just a bunch of estates being held together. if Hungary had imperial ambitious and spread too far, they would cease to exist unless they ended up like the Mongols
@@ernestogastelum9123
Being an Empire means that the given country assimilated other countries, like how the Roman Empire did. Hungary was only part of Austria as an empire several times through history, that’s it, no more countries were involved. A country formed from different ethnic groups doesn’t means it is an empire…
Read some history mate.
Excellent, detailed presentation. When we were taught about Magyar invasion, I thought that they had armies of 100,000 men. It was surprising to me to learn that they won battles and made successful raids with a few thousand horsemen. It was the ineptitude of the German and other (Great Moravian, Italian) leaders to learn quickly the Magyar war tactics and make appropriate adjustments. The other aspect, as in many other European history situations, was infighting instead of common action against an intruder (Mongol and especially later, Turk invasions). I have a question about Magyars economy - as a nomadic people where did they get resources for the production of weapons, armament and gears?

I’ll leave a comment here for the algorithm.
I love that this channel uses the Wilhelm scream. Props to you good sirs.
The West has always been afraid of the Hungarians, that's why we had to be divided, even though we defended Europe for centuries in vain, this was the West's gratitude for Trianon!!!!
No one was afraid of the after they settled and became Christian
Seeing Vicenza on the map is always quite surreal living here.

Can you please start a komnenian restoration series?
stop calling us nomads and badly armed when the magyar warriors was elite mercenaries when westerns just a sherf without real skill.
But why the word nomads is triggering you?😅
@@ganizhunis910 Since the Scythians, and later the Huns, established states far more advanced and larger than the Roman Empire under Attila, even occupying much of Roman territory, they were not nomads but primarily traders and mercenaries. The concept of the "Amazon" also stems from the fact that while men went to war or engaged in trade, women maintained control over the slaves. The Greeks mistakenly thought that the slaves were the men in their society. In every way, their society was more advanced than early medieval or ancient Europe. Just look up "Scythian gold."
The Mongols were nomadic warriors, were they not?? And they were superior badasses, so why are you taking offence? Also, being skilled and being badly armed are separate things; he can say you are the latter without taking away from you in regards to the former.
@@adamsmits1441 they also was not nomads.
@@makoado6010what are you talking about? the mongols we’re definitely nomadic they moved there set up several times a year
You are superb 😊
the Magyars were like the Vikings of Europe
😅
And the Vikings were the Vikings of what exactly?
For sure!
Except, that the Vikings were both from, and operated in, Europe 🤦🏻♂️
An analogy that might make some sense could be a reference to the Magyars as "terrestrial Vikings", or something about the Magyars being "Vikings that used steeds of flesh & bone, instead of oar & sail." But even those are pretty poor comparisons, given that Vikings spent the vast majority of their time on solid ground, and certainly were habitual riders (although they did not enter combat mounted).
Eastern Europe. The Scandinavian lands are most definitely in Europe.
@@OfficialUKGov The Vikings were essentially just your average white American football fan when they don’t get their way
That’s why there’s a team named after them
I really like your type of explaining every battle with Details, tho i would be greatly appreciated if you considered a video about Perso-Roman wars if possible.
didnt know the hungarians bullied the germans like that.
Until the ottoman times, Hungary regularly kept german felt superiority at bay. Unfortunate for us, by the 16th century the ottoman had 8-9million gold income, whereas UK, France,HRE wasn combined. We didnt stand much chance.

@@smal750 that we kept the germans at bay until the ottoman wars. I wanted to show how strong was it.

What a great video, very factual and enjoyable at the same time. Maybe more emphasis could have been put on eastern campaigns, since the same went on against the Byzantine empire, until 970.
If you plan to create videos about hungarians in the future it would be fantastic to see a video about Louis the Great conquests.
A surprise to be sure but a welcome one.

I see the westerners have not changed anything.This condescending attitude is very disgusting.The Hungarian riders were no worse than the Westerners, this is cultural racism.The Hungarians also had armor.They also held their own in close combat.They always highlight only the Hungarians' acquisition of booty, everyone did this in this age.What kind of destruction did Vikings carry out, isn't that a problem?
Fornosus, Mylan, and Majar... wonderful pronunciations.
It's pretty clear the degree of disconnect between Western Europe and Rome in this period. The complete unfamiliarity of East Francian and Italian military leaders with Horse archers demonstrates, for example, the they weren't familiar with Crassus' defeat at Carrhae, for example.
Awesome to finally have a long video about the conquest of my ancestors
Since the Magyars were such a dominant force in the heart of Europe it always reminded me of the book of Judges and Joshua, how the Israelites with the power of God were able to conquer the promised land. And since the Magyars had lived along side a Jewish state like the Khazaria im sure they were familiar with the Tanakh and were inspired by the scriptures to do the same. And i believe they were therefore lesser pagan than what the author calls them which is why they won the majority of the battles and succeeded with their goal. They later converted to Christianity and were given the Holy Crown from the Pope, made in Constantinople which is an honor given more than any other nation in Europe had gained prior. And Hungary produced countless of heroes who fought for the nation and the christian europe and still does to this day.
Lesser pagan?
@@upsidedownnugget9531 Yes.
@@bogrec5305 you really think being Christian made them win more battles? They were winning battles before they were Christian? I don’t get it. You really think a god intervened and made them win?
@@upsidedownnugget9531 First and foremost, I am fully entitled to my opinion and what I wrote above is my own point of view based on historical facts, geography and self recognition.
To understand my statement one has to know the basics about the Abrahamic religions. Judaism came before Christianity and the Jews were first to call other peoples pagans. A pagan in turn is someone who does not recognize the God of Abraham, Isac and Jacob and worships other dieties instead. Prior to returning to the Carpathian Basin, the Magyars thrived within a tribal federation called the Khazar Khagnate, which official religion was of Judaism, although historians agree that other religions were accepted within the federation. Without repeating myself too much, you can see historically why it would be ignorant to assume that the Magyars did not know the One and Only True Living God before entering Europe. Im also drawing parallels to this fact on how the Magyars dominated their foes, much like the Israelites did when conquering the promised land in the Bible.
Being Christian made Hungary a recognized nation, just like every other nation in Europe after accepting the faith. When nations were formed, Christianity was accepted and the pagans within the countries were wiped out, because their foundations were weak and dietes were false and the traditions they wanted to withhold was immoral. And for European nations to keep their nation alive they have to hold on to the roots which made them exist in the first place. The Hungarian roots were therefore stronger than their surroundings which made them exist and be a strong influence in the heart of Europe since day one. Our first King was sanctified, it was such a celebration when Hungary as a nation officially joined the body of Christ , We recieved the Crown which was made in one of Great capitals of Europe at the time, Constantinople. Stephen is sanctified in both the Orthodox and the Catholic church, we are recognized by both authorities of each global church as a nation and have their blessing. Therefore people of each denominations who is against our existence try to lesser our role history and the in body, goes against their own authorities, and are hypocrites.
The word pagan can sometimes be used very loosely. If a person or people is called pagan, it is is assumed that they have no relationship or has rejected the True God and source of life and wisdom. The fruits thereof is a miserable life. 'Calling someone pagan can therefore be done to feel morally superior and sometimes to compensate for ones peoples own lack of power of ation or moral compass. I belive this is the case in this video.
Merry Christmas to you, and God bless you.

Am I rewatching the same video in the final 30 minute? I swear I saw the... yeah! 1:17:30 is the same exact battle as 1:33:30, just introduced differently and with slightly different details. I'm annoyed to only realize this now, but the animation is even the same.
Edit: looking back it does change a bit, but still repeats that part

Come on! Dragoviches (Dragon Witches) has to be the coolest name, for a people, I've ever heard off! 😎
From the etymology of the name, I would guess that they were descendants of a certain Drago. The name Drago originated from the Slavic language and holds its roots in the Slavic culture. Derived from the word drag, meaning precious, Drago reflects characteristics of something that is cherished or highly valued.
