when I was in high school, we had a friend named Vlad. a tall and pale guy with redish brown hair, a cool dude. we used to smoke cigars and weed in the woods not far from the campus. he was the guy who often had sachet of good stuff with him and he was also the one who smoked a lot of weed, that's why we called him Vlad The Inhaler. not long after he was known by that moniker by the whole campus and it made him famous to other people as well.
As a romanian I am proud of this video ! Vald was a cruel but a fair ruler. He had the balls to stand up to the ottoman witch means Massive balls 😂😂 They sais that during hus reign you could leave a bag full of gold in the market square, come back 3 days later and you will find it in the same place 🤣🤣🤣🤣 cause nobody dared to do shit cause they knew the punnishment. You did agood job with this video bro ! Proud of you 😊 !
@Auron1Roxas2 you don't know what you are talking about dude... the killing people for having an afair part is not true... there was a lot of false propaganda made by his enemies that made him out to be far worse than he was however most things Briefed said were true. Where are tou from dude ? Are you truly safe where you are ? Somebody could attack you rob you kill you but during Vlad's time people were afraid to steal, were afraid to rape were afraid to kill even if some of them were psychopaths and would not feel sorry for their victims theu would fear the punishment and impalement was just for the worst... for killers... it was just. It was just if somebody killed your relative they would be impaled... it was a death for a death. Vlad a monster ? No. He was a great ruler a ruler who had the balls yo stand up to the Ottoman empire and fought for his pepople until he died. That is LITERALLY what a hero is. Did you watch the whole video and listen to hkw he stood up to them or are you just browsing the comment section looking to contradict someone ? And don't tell me what he is and what he wasn't... it was my people and ancestors that were under his rule and if you ask almost everybody hear they say it must have beenmuch better back then ( even if this is just an opinion we can still compare ) than now with all of our corrupt politicians sucking the countru dry !
@@opopad not sure you know history, my brother. To save a country from an empire that is tens of time bigger than yours, would make you a Hero in my eyes :)
Great video! You missed a couple things like Vlad and Radu's older brother Mircea II who ruled briefly before him and was killed by the boyar families by blinding and then burying him alive. This stoked Vlad's hatred of the boyars and Saxons
@@Briefed_Mythology Loved it Man i remember the earlier vids when you didnt have any sponsors or anything, now basically every video has one Thats so cool my brother, dont forget me when you have 100 million subscribers and are chilling in your gothic german mansion with a goth baddie😅
Vlad Tepesh wasn't given as a "Hostage" in the modern sense of the word, it was more of a trade and a way to ensure peace. Sons were swapped so they could learn, marry and create allies between nations. It just so happened that Vlad was treated like crap by his given father and brothers hence his hatred of them. It's covered in a great book called: Vlad the Impaler a life from beginning to end.
Proof that one sides hero is another sides villain. One countries freedom fighter is another’s terrorist. No historic event is one-sided and as you read the news you should ask yourself why is the information usually one sided. Great video!
As an American man with a love for history Vlad the impaler is my #1 favorite historical figure followed closely by Chinggis Khan And Alexander the Great
Whelp... This was a great video, the only thing you forgot to mention was that John Huniadi was Vlad uncle, because he was his father cousin or something, and also those tree kings/princes, were cousins, so this was a weird family power dinamic considering that Matthias was almost killed by an arrow Stephen shot at him in a battle between the two
oh damn I didn't actually know that vlad and John hunyadi were related. would have absolutely mentioned it. sometimes its difficult to understand the family dynamics
God I love your narration man. So good! I feel like only you and only you could cover a story of another Eastern European underdog by the name of Nestor Makhno, leader of the Black Army in Ukraine. Your wit would do that man some serious justice! Keep up the good work, thank you
My father’s side of the family is Serbian I grew up being told that we had an ancestor that fought in his army against the Turks. Evil? Yes but really kind of par for the course in that time and place. Great video as always. I talk history to my daughters all of the time and my 9yo asked me about Dracula and that girl LOVES your videos. She’s burned through a lot you’re a great storyteller. Keep it up.
Cool! I've been looking forward to your "take" on this guy. I've been fascinated by him ever since I found out there really was a Dracula in middle school. That's been a long time, I'm 62. Thank you!
@ It was an outstanding presentation! You definitely have a way of describing some really grim dudes. Vlad was probably not insane in the clinical sense but he was definitely the hard product of some hard times…and by some accounts, his brutality may have single handedly stopped the spread of Islam into Eastern Europe. Mehmet was not squeamish by any means but the sight of 20,000 of his men on stakes left an impression on him that might have lasted the rest of his life. Thanks again for this great video!
You have the best videos on this platform literally the only creator I watch, love these with a passion, everything I’ve been looking for, storytelling, history, stupid jokes in between, movie clips, Amazing. Please keep it up, Maybe you could do Árpád or Mehmed II, infinite amount of ideas for these videos and you bet your ass I’ll watch all of them
Also worth mentioning that Dracul means the devil in romanian...also, also there are sources who say he and the sultan were friendly and some go as far as to say the sultan trusted him and considered him a brother. The last part is a bit far fetched but, oh well. I've always enjoyed your videos and watching one about my country's history is particularly satisfying.🎉
Your history videos are amazing! I would love to hear you talk about some Danish history. Like Valdemar the great. He was apart of things that inspired Game of Thrones
Hey..! So my mama’s paternal grandparents and her maternal great-grandparents were all from the valleys of the Carpathian Mountains. Always said we were of Czechoslovakian ( before the split) decent, but my grandparents would say we are actually Carpatho-Russian..I love my bloodlines! This is epic..thank you thank you…!😊
Yeah, he did so pretty evil stuff, but you have to look at things from a historical view. He grew up in a time when cruelty and violence were par the course. Not to mention that his childhood.....wasn't great to say the least
"May God bring you happiness!" - this is how Vlad ends some of his letters.

NIKOLA ZRINSKI !!!! Nikola IV Zrinski or Miklós IV Zrínyi also commonly known as Nikola Šubić Zrinski was a Croatian-Hungarian nobleman and general, Ban of Croatia from 1542.
The Netflix show “Rise of Empires Ottoman” is about Mehmed II, and the second season is “Mehmed v. Vlad” and is about this. It is really good, but it is definitely sided on the side of the Ottomans and making Vlad the antagonist. Still 100% recommended. Also Briefed, what is your accent? I have been trying to figure it out forever, but I can’t tell! 😊
I know the video’s about Vlad and he’s HIM. But John Hunyadi is a g too, you should do a video on him. Dude was unrivalled as a knight and strategist back then
I have to reread dracula now. Near the start he tells his backstory and talking about taking on the ottomans, but I had no idea it was based on a real person.
BRO that was hands down THE BEST Segway into the sponsor ad, great video i been waiting 12 hours to get off work to watch this one. U know i love the genocidal military geniuses.
So good, I had to watch again! Will you cover Mehmet Mehmed, Ottoman Emperor also? and thank you for allowing this video to be as long as it needed to be. Some creators think viewers have sort attention spans. WE DONT. People that love history, have long attention spans. We want every detail, and you grant us with that. You are truly my favorite creator. I personally think Vlad was one of the BADDEST MoFo's of all time. Its a shame that his incredible life was turned into vampires and garlic.
Apart from the cringy surfshark ad plug this video is perfect! The art matches the story and it's tone perfectly(unlike the Hinduism video, which, don't get me wrong it was good just this is better!) This video apart from the above mentioned ad plug is flawless!
Vlad took care of the scammers and beggers, he gathered them all in a barn and said hey look free food and drink come and eat your fill. Man then barred the doors and lit it ablaze, what needs to happen now. Crime only exists when the govt allows it to exist.
The deaths should be put into context. It was a particular violent period. 6000 french were beheaded AFTER the battle of Agincourt (6000 in a single day). In the same period, Aztecs were sacrificing tens of thousands of people a year. The Inca were not far off. The Ottomans were particularly violent. So put into context, Vlad Tepes is not unlike his peers at the time.
Love this video bro but i actually have a challenge for you. I know you usually make videos on real gods and such but i would love to see you make a video on elder scrolls gods or daedra❤
In Romania Vlad the Impaler is considered a hero even though we shiver at his cruelty as well. But looking at things from a historical perspective, he took drastic measures to fight a very powerful enemy, the Ottoman Empire and he refused to bow down and renounce the Christian faith. Betrayal by local nobility was always a recurring theme and many of our heroes died by being betrayed and assassinated by the said nobility at the behest of outside powers. They were cruel to the peasants they were leading and many of them were cowards and traitors, choosing to sell out their own country just to keep their power. That is why nobody here sheds any tears for them that they were impaled by Vlad. He did not play the classic political game, he fought evil with evil. As you mentioned he also made reforms by drastically punishing immoral behaviour, thieves being especially targeted. It is said that at public wells they would leave a gold chalice for people to drink water with and nobody would dare steal it. An interesting fact you left out. When he attacked the Ottoman camp, he and his men were disguised in Ottoman clothes which caused a huge confusion in the Ottoman ranks. The attack was brief, the Valachians retreated and the Ottomans kept fighting each others for hours before realising what happened. Great video as always, thank you for your hard work and amazing delivery!

Killing people for being poor or having an affair doesn't make you a fair ruler, just another kind of monster.
@Auron1Roxas2 you don't know what you are talking about dude... the killing people for having an afair part is not true... there was a lot of false propaganda made by his enemies that made him out to be far worse than he was however most things Briefed said were true.
Where are tou from dude ? Are you truly safe where you are ?
