What a documentary !
Wraits of the latin tales became minecraft phantoms.
HistoryMarche is an amazing channel! Very informative and enjoyable for all ❤
Raid the vikings and nomads in Europe
I can’t believe how many times nations got humbled by horse archers. 😮
The tent scenes with the envoys are a really nice addition to your videos. Really helps the immersion.
8:13 I simply can't find any info about that this region was called Bavaria. Only regions further to the west. pls sent a link . thx.
Awesome, thank you!
When historymarche uploads the day just gets ten times better
I'm waiting for Nine Years' war battles
Epic AF
No one does a dinner party like the mighty Magyars 🐕

King Berengar made two huge mistakes. The first is that he ignored the reports about the way the Magyars responded during the skirmish with his vanguard. He should have found a response for the enemy tactics before going into battle. The second was not having night patrols and scouts, to detect the enemy deployment. Adding to those huge mistakes, his handling of the actual battle was cowardly, had he mustered the troops and organised the fight inside the camp, he could probably have saved the day. A bad leader that doomed his army…
The Magyars were exceptional raiders ill give em that but when faced with a heavily armoured European host led by an actual strategist(Otto the great,Lechfeld 955) they were torn to shreds
Magyars: call an ambulance! call an ambulance!…… BUT NOT FOR ME

There are a lot of parallels between battles of Brenta and Mohi (in which Mongols defeated the Hungarians) .. fording the river upstream and downstream at night, taking the overconfident opposition by surprise, use of horse archers to counter slow moving heavy cavalry and infantry, etc.
Following up the careful reconnaissance that lead them to victory with a goofy attempt at fighting the venitians is key to keeping up the balance
I just stumbled upon this channel and I am really enjoying those videos. Nicely animated and a nice pace of bringing the content forward. And your voice for the narration is fantastic. Have you had professional training in narration? It sounds like the kind of narration I would expect to hear from a commercial production like walking with dinosaurs or other such documentaries.
I am subscribed and am looking forward for more videos! Thank you!
28:53 and it was at that point John The Deacon upon seeing the destruction of another settlement came up with idea for 'Another One Bites The Dust'
For the algorithm
Amazing video as per usual. Best channel on yt
Imagine that history remembers you as the Guy defeated in Italy. Literally just the Guy.
How could Berringar have won this?
None of us expected horses to fight ships in this total war scenario
What a load of rubbish, as the Magyars are related to the Avars and prior to that the Huns and Samartians, who had similar battle tactics, all related Nomad horse archer tribes of Pannonia, you make out that the Lombard's never new of this type of army, so novice and biased these western English masonic historians.
Pre-Hungarian genetics are close to the Turkic genetics of the period.
25:44 99% of Western European armies quit pursuing the Magyars right before they decisively defeat them
What an incredible campaign filled with turn of events, thanks for entertaining us.
Chronicle of Bikhovets state that Duce Palemone Lebone and 4 top noble and 500 other famalies on ships with astronomer travel to Baltic sea and founded Lituania
Their own greed was the Magyar's worst enemy.
De sagittis Hungarorum libera nos, Domine.
6:20 You sound like you agree with him to ally himself with these pagans.
Being a Christian was about following Christ and being an example of how to live.
But they have taken that and turned it into an abomination.
Killing each other as they squabble over land.
Now he invites pagans to do his dirty work for him.
These kingdoms are no better than the pagans they claim to fight against.
In a way, he is worse, as he knows better but commits this evil anyway.
All throughout history, horse archers prove that they are the best!!
Have the Italians tried to develop bows or scorpions with longer range after this war?
Love the “Jaws” soundtrack.
