Between 860 and 970, the Magyars were the scourge of Europe. They devastated and pillaged a wide swath of territory, from Bremen in the north, to Otranto in the south, and Orleans in the west, with some raiding expeditions reaching over the Pyrenees Mountains into Iberia.

Italians: Stupid enough to face Horse Archers in an open field. Magyars: Stupid enough to face Venetians at sea. Lesson: Never underestimate your enemy.
We have to remember that we have the power of hindsight, neither of them were exactly 'stupid', it was more so a consequence of hubris. Hubris from the Italians interpreting the Magyar pleas for peace as weakness, and hubris from the Magyars after completely obliterating the Italian army leading them to believe that they were invincible and could sack Venice. Of course to us, given the many historical examples we can look to, we can very easily come to the conclusion that engaging an army primarily consisting of horse archers in the open field is almost never a good idea, but the Italians mainly being driven by blind hubris couldn't have really come to a good conclusion on how that would pan out. Of course they can still be blamed for not really thinking it through. For the Magyars, I mean I don't think they had any idea how to actually do a proper naval invasion given the fact that they didn't even have a coastline or any naval experience at all. They would've never thought that the Venetians would have access to actual warships considering the Magyars have never seen them before. It's like the first time the Romans saw elephants when fighting Hannibal in the Alps.
Between 899 and 910, the Magyars scored six great victories over the European troops, in which they wiped out the enemy armies, and in 4 of them (Battles of Pressburg, Eisenach, Ausgburg, and Rednitz), they killed the commanders of the enemy too. Unfortunately, there are so few detailed descriptions of these victories, most of whom we know only by their name and that's it. If a contemporary chronicler had written down detailed descriptions of these battles, military history would be so grateful to him.
The genetic link between Attila's European Huns and the conquering Magyars is not clearly established, which suggests that the Magyars cannot be considered direct descendants of the Huns. However, culturally, the Magyars do have legends that reference the Huns. Genetic studies have also disproven the notion that the Hungarian people originate from the Finno-Ugric group, as the earliest Hungarians do not carry the "Proto-Ugric" genetic markers. Current research indicates that the Magyar population has a mix of ancestry, including influences from Asian Huns, Avars, and Iranians, as well as some contributions from various regions. Overall, the evidence suggests that the primary "Hun" ancestry in the Magyar population likely comes from present-day Mongolia and can be traced back to the Xiongnu.
@@VincentvonRingelsheim Current studies made by Klima have proven that the conqueror Magyars in fact carried the Finno - Ugric, Uralic N haplogroup. Look up the Klima study.
@@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014Ok, that mental image is hilarious 😂😂 It immediately made me think of minecraft, when you mount a pig and want to make it move forward.
Thank you very much! Great video. I only want to point out one thing. In 899, when the Battle of Brenta occurred, Pannonia (the region West to the Danube) was still under the Bavarian/East Frankish rule. When the Hungarian troops turned back from Italy, the Hungarians who remained home, attacked Pannonia from the East, while the returning Hungarian troops attacked it from the West and South, thus conquering this rich province for Hungary.

@@istvansovari4208 Maga nagyon félreért, vagy pedig nem tud jól angolul. Én tisztán leírtam, hogy 900-ig volt a határ a Duna. Mert az a terület addig a Bajor hercegség uralma alatt állott.

The conquest proper of Hungary is dated at the end of the ninth century, in 896, when the seven Hungarian tribes (Nyék, Megyer, Kirt Gyarmat, Jenó, Tarján, Kér, and Keszi) and the three Kabar tribes, led by Prince Árpád, gradually filled up the Carpathian basin, except for the zones of beechwood and the coniferous forests. The "conquering Hun garians" are equivalent to the upper circle of the people (with rich furniture); some of them spoke two languages: Onogur-Turk and Ugrian-Hungarian.
“Gathering intelligence is a key component of their way of war. …understanding the enemies strength, willingness to fight and more.” So, they were the only non-idiots of the time?
Also, many countries believed God would protect them, or some were just overconfident because they'd never seen warriors like them and assumed they'd be superior. Why many armies only used foot soldiers.
Definitely a great alternative to Bazbattles - I have always loved his Brenta video but you guys do go into great detail. I always figured Berengar was a fool to be so slow with his army and so stupid with his relaxation on the camp that night. I now realize Italy had been in so much war that the people were just tired of it - and it 100% seemed like the Magyars were some weak disorganized force of Nomads that feared for their life and bit off more than they could chew. Honestly in hindsight I bet I would've been fooled just as easily. They really were masters of their craft - as are you guys working on this channel!
just use them :D a strong foot archer line can also be helpful in such a case. although if i meet an archer-heavy army, i usually just charge the horse archers into them repeatedly and win over the foot archers in melee like that.
Minor side note: Arnulf of Carinthia actually has a very small home castle in the village he grew up in. It's basically just a for sided tower with around 1m thick walls. It stands as a ruin but has recently been preserved.
Man aside from the XIV century the period between the death of Charlemagne and around 1020ish is probably the crappiest for medieval Europe: Magyars, Vikings renewed North African raids and the constant anarchy of the Carolingians.
That is if you only limit Eurova to just Western and Central Eurova. You seem to forget how Byzantine basically making the only comeback before basically failling miserably in 11th century onward.
Ironically it's probable that Charelmagne's actions helped to provoke the Vikings into attacks on western Europe in the first place. After his genocidal massacre of the pagans at Verden, it spread a wave of fear and anger throughout pagan northern Europe. It made Christians into blood enemies and fair game for attack. The first substantial Viking raids took place just a few years later and their main targets were Christian holy sites. Also, with his campaigns against the Lombards and Avars, he probably did much to provoke the future threat of the Magyars too. Maybe all of these threats could have been handled had Charlemagne's successors been capable. Sadly it was not to be.
There was not really a battle thought. The German army was cut from the supply and starved and they ended it with negotiations. But the guerilla warfare and espionage methods they used to achieve this is a good story indeed.

At this time, the same Arab geographers (as also Constantine Porphyrogenitus) speak of the "Majghari" as Turks, no doubt because both groups of these Finno-Ugrians had been organized by Bulgars: those of the Urals by the Bulgars of Kama, those of Atelkuzu by the Onoghundur or Onogur, who in the ninth century occupied the southeastern region of the Carpathians. The name of Hungarians, to denote the Magyars, may have originated with these Onogur who mingled with them in the second half of the ninth century. Other sources link these Finno-Ugrian Magyars with another Turkic tribe, the Kabars, who are associated with the Khazars and who are believed to have given the Magyars their royal family, the Arpads. The presence of an Onogur or Kabar Turkic aristocracy among the Magyars would explain the Byzantine protocol by which, in the exchange of ambassadors under Constantine Por- phyrogenitus, Magyar chiefs were always refered to as "Princes of the Turks, ἄρχοντες τῶν Τουρκων,"
Not only did they serve under the Turkic Khazars and fought with the same steppe tactics but to the untrained ear the old Hungarian language sounds similar to Turkic languages
You can hear about Hungarians from this era, but where was the "so-called" Finno-Ugric empire that never existed? So an idiot linguist named a language family whose most famous and largest population does not appear in the name of the language family! Absolute Western decadent idiotic linguistics!
@@MadMamluk88The leader of those Hungarians who negotiated with Emperor Constanin in Byzantium was called Blood Búlcsú, and he said that we are not Turks, because our ancestors were not either! Hungarian arceogeneticists have shown from the finds of contemporary migrants that 50% of those who arrived in the Carpathian Basin at that time were working servants of the Finno-Ugric commoners, 35% were Sarmatian-Hun mixed free soldiers, 15% elite leaders of Hunnic origin, such as the Turul or the House of Árpád as it is known in the West! Oh, and then I forgot that the leading and soldiering Hun-Sarmatian stratum is haplogroup R1a, i.e. even of Scythian origin in addition to the former!
I would like to see the citation for Árpád being from one of the three Kabar tribes. For some reason Bulgars really love to repeat this but they never mention sources.
The Magyar horse archers showering the Italian camp with arrows reminds me of the Seleucid king Demetrius III Eucaerus and his army's fate in battle against the Parthians Thanks Historymarche, it was an epic video Still waiting for one that covers the battle of Anglon 543 AD though
@@ramtin5152 the rivercrossing is one of the most difficult manouver. If the enemy knows your plan it can be tragical. But the desinformation is a typical nomad strategy/tactic too. Nomads were not better warriors than the Germans, Slavs, Romans but their armies looked like a modern army with batallions, brigades, officers, discipline, professional logistics, espionage, scouting, communications, etc.
they typically had arrow bundles on spare horses or held by camp followers depending on situation. The strictly limited ammo of total war is kinda nonsense tbh
It was a wonderful historical coverage video about scourge of Europe at 898- 899 AD by Magars nomadic combating contingencies focused on Northern Italy 🇮🇹.. Northern Italy cities plundered, scorched ,Italian king defeated in Brenta battle ..he escaped..thanks an amazing ( history Marche) channel for sharing this magnificent video
2:30 daily reminder that tributaries are NOT considered a part of someone's realm, otherwise the byzantine empire would be considered to be a part of the khazars etc, as such Bohemia was not part of the Frankish empire. Charlemagne's son failed to subjugate Bohemia and what happened was only enforcement of tribute.
Can you please make more videos about the 18th century wars? There are lots of wars that can be covered involving Austria, Ottomans, Russians, Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth, Prussia, Swedes, and France.
There was no chance for that. Italy was successfully conquered by Germanic tribes multiple times and they were the ones to be assimilated all the time. Same for France.
It is amazing how formidable horse archers were since the defeat of Romans and only a thousand years later Magyars and later Mongols took it to the whole new level and ruled the world.
@@KaiHung-wv3ul Brenna also known historically as Branibór, Brennaburg, and finally, as it is known today as Brandenburg. During the Early and High Middle Ages, it was a Gord and the capital of the Slavic tribe Hevelli/Stodorani and later the Duchy of Kopnica (Polish vassal) before it was finally annexed by the HRE. It was a sight of several battles and sieges in wars between Polabian Slavs, Poland, and HRE. It was probably what inspired Sapkowski to choose its name for the final battle between Northern Kingdoms and Nilfgaard since the latter is a representation of Drang nach Osten.
min. 1:49 "Decades after emerging from the Carpathian Mountains, the utility of Magyar riders"... they were riders of the stepe, what is the link with the Carpathians?!
@@palisadenhonko4962 so they did not emerge from the Carpathians... and in between the Eurasian Steppe and the "Carpathian Basin" there are Carpathian Mountains and Transylvania
@@mariusz5004 the Carpathian mountains were the border of the known world for the western Europeans. So the Hungarians emerged from the Carpathian mountains into their world. If a car is emerging from the left into the road you are driving, do you assume it was build in the road to your left?

You can hear about Hungarians from this era, but where was the "so-called" Finno-Ugric empire that never existed? So an idiot linguist named a language family whose most famous and largest population does not appear in the name of the language family! Absolute Western decadent idiotic linguistics!
@@MadMamluk88The leader of those Hungarians who negotiated with Emperor Constanin in Byzantium was called Blood Búlcsú, and he said that we are not Turks, because our ancestors were not either! Hungarian arceogeneticists have shown from the finds of contemporary migrants that 50% of those who arrived in the Carpathian Basin at that time were working servants of the Finno-Ugric commoners, 35% were Sarmatian-Hun mixed free soldiers, 15% elite leaders of Hunnic origin, such as the Turul or the House of Árpád as it is known in the West! Oh, and then I forgot that the leading and soldiering Hun-Sarmatian stratum is haplogroup R1a, i.e. even of Scythian origin in addition to the former!
@@MadMamluk88 Hungarians is not turkish, we are uralic.
I would like to see the citation for Árpád being from one of the three Kabar tribes. For some reason Bulgars really love to repeat this but they never mention sources.
Yooooo great vidio man! As always.
Thank you HM and of course for all the other videos. Greetings from Hungary! (For the Algorythm! :) )
The Magyar horse archers showering the Italian camp with arrows reminds me of the Seleucid king Demetrius III Eucaerus and his army's fate in battle against the Parthians
Thanks Historymarche, it was an epic video
Still waiting for one that covers the battle of Anglon 543 AD though
Typical nomad tactic
@@sandorszabo2836 A very effective tactic (most of the times)
@@ramtin5152 the rivercrossing is one of the most difficult manouver. If the enemy knows your plan it can be tragical. But the desinformation is a typical nomad strategy/tactic too. Nomads were not better warriors than the Germans, Slavs, Romans but their armies looked like a modern army with batallions, brigades, officers, discipline, professional logistics, espionage, scouting, communications, etc.
Damn how many arrows do they carry?
they typically had arrow bundles on spare horses or held by camp followers depending on situation. The strictly limited ammo of total war is kinda nonsense tbh
Best history channel 👍
Do you think you could do more historiographies on Indian battles such as the with the Marathas?
Cheers from hungary my friend!!! Great content as always. ❤
BRILLIANT NARRATIVE/ DRAMATIC HISTORY
What a documentary !
Can we see an episode on Volga Bulgaria? Pechenegs? Perhaps the Battle of Varna, 1201. The Battle of Klokotnitsa?
Very informative ❤❤
😎😎😎ANOTHER AWESOME AWESOME VID.
May this comment be a sacrifice to the Algorithm.
yup
It was a wonderful historical coverage video about scourge of Europe at 898- 899 AD by Magars nomadic combating contingencies focused on Northern Italy 🇮🇹.. Northern Italy cities plundered, scorched ,Italian king defeated in Brenta battle ..he escaped..thanks an amazing ( history Marche) channel for sharing this magnificent video
Ugye nem baj,hogy SEMMIFÉLE várost nem perzseltek fel.
berengar even prepared breakfast for the magyars
Thanks
This is so far superior to anything the streaming services crap out for literally hundreds of millions of dollars, thank you guys!
I cannot for the life of me understand why you decided this “series” would work best chronologically backwards.
2:30 daily reminder that tributaries are NOT considered a part of someone's realm, otherwise the byzantine empire would be considered to be a part of the khazars etc, as such Bohemia was not part of the Frankish empire. Charlemagne's son failed to subjugate Bohemia and what happened was only enforcement of tribute.
very true
Thank you
Can you please make more videos about the 18th century wars? There are lots of wars that can be covered involving Austria, Ottomans, Russians, Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth, Prussia, Swedes, and France.
I wonder, What would've happened to World History if Italy experienced Magyarization ? We may never know....
Thank God we will never know
@@Ardeth1 lol I am hungarian but I second that
There was no chance for that. Italy was successfully conquered by Germanic tribes multiple times and they were the ones to be assimilated all the time. Same for France.
A magyar SOHASEM magyarosított.Ha ezt tette volna,akkor ma a Rajnától- a kínai Sárga folyóig minden magyar lenne.
Those names are just the best. Gonna name my pet Charles the Fat or Zwentibold for sure!
That subscribe punch animation always makes me laugh for some reason.
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.
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'
It is amazing how formidable horse archers were since the defeat of Romans and only a thousand years later Magyars and later Mongols took it to the whole new level and ruled the world.
Hey man love the videos! Can you make a video about blackbeard the pirate? Or pirates in general?
Initially, I read that as the Battle of Brenna. Still not disappointed I clicked.
Ayy, Witcher fan!
@@KaiHung-wv3ul That too, but the Battle of Brenna is also a real battle.
@@Velesus101 Really? That's awesome. Could you tell me about it? I can't find it.
@@KaiHung-wv3ul Brenna also known historically as Branibór, Brennaburg, and finally, as it is known today as Brandenburg. During the Early and High Middle Ages, it was a Gord and the capital of the Slavic tribe Hevelli/Stodorani and later the Duchy of Kopnica (Polish vassal) before it was finally annexed by the HRE.
It was a sight of several battles and sieges in wars between Polabian Slavs, Poland, and HRE.
It was probably what inspired Sapkowski to choose its name for the final battle between Northern Kingdoms and Nilfgaard since the latter is a representation of Drang nach Osten.
@@Velesus101 Thanks
Very interesting.
Seeing an army with infantry against a nomadic army and knowing what will happen is a sign i have watched many many such battles
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
Their own greed was the Magyar's worst enemy.
For a moment at 5:24 I thought "they are eating the dogs"
min. 1:49 "Decades after emerging from the Carpathian Mountains, the utility of Magyar riders"... they were riders of the stepe, what is the link with the Carpathians?!
The Westernmost part of the Eurasian steppe is the Carpathian Basin.
They came through the Carpathian mountains from the east.
salty romanian detected
@@palisadenhonko4962 so they did not emerge from the Carpathians... and in between the Eurasian Steppe and the "Carpathian Basin" there are Carpathian Mountains and Transylvania
@@mariusz5004 the Carpathian mountains were the border of the known world for the western Europeans.
So the Hungarians emerged from the Carpathian mountains into their world.
If a car is emerging from the left into the road you are driving, do you assume it was build in the road to your left?
Love the “Jaws” soundtrack.
Great analysis, thank you! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Hey HistoryMarche. will you make a video about tamar mepe in the near future?
