@@pathutchison9866 What wrong about the book?
Pat Hutchison angry Brit alert!
Pat Hutchison I’m sorry you’re nation didn’t get to colonize us and claim this story as your history
I thought exactly the same.
Love to Romania and to Romanian brothers and sisters !!
Much respect from brotherly Serbia .
Tsar Vlad was a hero who defended our faith and the whole Europe.

Orthodox Brothers forever!
let's stay to just brothers...The ortohodox church has an awfull reputation in Romania
🇷🇴🇷🇸💪🏻💪🏻
@@carron979 Any Serb or Romanian who blasphemes against the Church which all our mighty kings and rulers,tsars and voivodas followed is a discrace to his own people.
People like you are not my brothers.
Only good Orthodox Christians are the ones who have good intentions for me so only they are my brothers
@Janos Musatic over 80 Romanians are Buried in Serbian lands of Bosnia for fighting alongside with Serbs.
So shut your own mouth .
What the Romanain Government did in supporting weapons sales and stuff has nothing to do with Romanian people and their hearts who love Serbs.
@Janos Musatic "I'm Hungarian from Hungary". How come I am not surprised? There is literally no video on TH-cam about Romania or Romanian history without a few Hungarians furthering the Hungaro-Russian agenda of constantly discrediting Romania. It's a known fact, it's as clear as day light, everyone knows you have an anti-Romanian mission. So don't bother. Just say "I'm Hungarian" and everyone will know how frustrated you are.
Vlad the Impaler's story is really underrated, glad to see you make this video. I first found out about Vlad when I was reading a book about the campaigns of Mehmet Al-Fatih. When I noticed that Vlad's nickname was Dracula, I was immediately mindblown.
Fatih Mehmet Han, get the name right for the love of god.
@@JiHan-xw8js here in my country we call him Sultan Muhammad Al Fateh
I strongly recomend the chanel HistoryMarch there is a great series about that period of romenia
@@JiHan-xw8js My people just call him Mehmet Al-Fatih, it is the grammatically correct way to pronounce his name in Arabic.
Draculea ,his name,little difference which change completly the meaning in romanian
He was cruel, but when compared to other rulers of his time, he was simply a very efficient administrator. For the 1400's he was an exceptionnaly good ruler, but one that had 0 tolerence and would give one hell of a show when he punished. The economy bloomed, cities were built, castles were built, the people was protected from the noble, there was some level of meritocracy, allowing peasants to rise to nobility and acquire lands and crimes rates were low. Meanwhile, half of Europe rulers were inbred imbecile, that kept getting drunk and didn't care about the people (I'm exagerating obviously).
The inbreeding didn't happen yet. The Habsburgs were still healthy and vital.
@@htoodoh5770 at the time we had worse then habsburgers. Erik of Pommerania, did such a bad job of being the King of Denmark that he wound up being a pirate using Gotland as a base for around 3 years, maybe 4, to give you a grasp of how badly he did, the title we Danes gave him were Erik af Pommeren. 600 years later the word "Pommeren" is basically a synonym for "Bad".
When your title is slang for shit hitting the fan, 600 years later....yea...The Habsburgers were but a symptom of the shitshow that is Monarchy
@@Elenrai Not all Habsburgs were shit. The Habsburgs jaw occured between 16th and 17th century. But before and after that time. The inbreeding wasn't all that bad.
@@htoodoh5770 Nearly every single major noble house in Western Europe were related from the second degree or closer. People married their cousins daughter and that kind of stuff (marrying the cousin was still rare but the cousin's childs not).
@Read SIEGE better than the Republican jokes like for example USA, Brasil, Venezuela, Middle East, etc, with monarchies like Japan, GB, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Denmark...
This would be a great Netflix series
John Smith that’s what I was thinking about when watching the video
Please no
They would make Vlad a black woman
@@hunorfarkas6531 Mhm... if i am gonna ever see Vlad as a black person i'm gonna be triggered as hell.

Why would you misquote someone like that
exactly
Vlad was a fine bloke. A man for the common man. War hero. And great humanitarian. ☺
@@derricklarsen462 indeed
Narrator: "I can't pronounce Ț and Ș! 😥" Advice guy: "Just use Z".
That's so true😂
@@Knowledgia It's just a TZ and SH. "TZEP-esh" for Tepes. "See-ghee-sho-AH-ra" for Sighisoara.
@Knowledgia , try to use Google translate, select Romanian language, and copy Romanian word there. Then listen how the Romanian robot pronounce the words. That's how I'm doing with other languages :)
@@Knowledgia Couldn't you tell the narrator how to pronounce it?
Ț is pronounced like piTTsburgh or piZZa
The double t in Pittsburgh or the double z in pizza although they are written different in the English language it's the same sound and it's identical to the Ț sound in Romanian
Am I the only one or would this be a great series
I can't believe you've done another Romanian video!!You just need to do Mircea cel Bătrân now and all the great Romanian voievodes will have been covered!Your channel and History Marche have really shed light on the rich Romanian history.
Edit: I have edited the comment to make my point more clear.
Posada may come, who knows

:))))))
@@Knowledgia yezzzzzz
@@Knowledgia "Now you can see Hungary being a historical state and "Romania" being nowhere as it was invented at the end of the 19th century.
There were Moldavians (peoples of Mongol-Tatar, Cuman, Pecheneg, Bulgarian, Russian, Hungarian etc origin) and there were Wallachians (the founder of the House of Basarab was of Mongol-Tatar origin as descendant of Ghengis Khan, son of Tihomir). No medieval "Romanian" chronicles, no written sources up until the 16 century written in Cyrillic alphabet used until the end of the 19th century when they got freed from Ottoman rule; as there were no "Romanians" before the end of the 19th century when it was invented. Vlachs, the shepherds of the Balkans started to infiltrate to the historical state Kingdom of Hungary for better life and were peasants in rural areas.
Vlad Tepes has got its name Dracul on the membership of the Hungarian Order of the Dragon and was a vassal of the King of Hungary.
Cities of the Kingdom of Hungary shown in the video are Segesvár, Brassó, Temesvár, Nagyszeben etc. Vlach peasants tried to pronounce them and so was "Sigisoara" born but it means nothing unlike but is the mimicking of its Hungarian name by hearing.
Speaking about "Romanians" before the early 20th century is historically nonsense as the peoples of Moldavia (Hungarian, Polish , Russian and Ottoman vassal principality and never a kingdom) and the peoples of Wallachia (Hungarian, Ottoman vassal principality and never a kingdom) themselves did not reckon being "Romanian"...
By the end of the First World War, after switching sides as a defeated newly born state (with imported German king) one day before the end of the war, it got Transylvania as a war present for free. It has nothing to do with history, justice or historical rights.
You can see with your own eyes Transylvania was always Hungarian and Hungary must get back Transylvania. Once - if not tomorrow then later - but Hungary will take back its historical cities and land it has built, protected for a millenium!"
This is probably the most accurate and well researched documentary on Vlad. It sure beats the hell out of a lot of expensive discovery channel documentaries.
Well done on the editing, you put a lot of work into this video. Can't wait for the 2nd part.
I’m a simple man I see Vlad the Impaler, I run away fearing for my life!
😄😄 I see you are a man of wisdom, I like that. 👏
The most accurate and unbiased commentary on Vald. It is trendy and political correct to make Vald evil but he was a hero.
Vlad's methods were extreme but he was more concerned with his country's safety & independence as well as punishing criminals and the corrupt, honestly the more I learn of him the more I respect him....
He was the IRL Stannis Baratheon.
@@dr.embersfield1551 Probably the most accurate description of Vlad I have ever read.
Most of the people he killed were women and children.
@@tasinal-hassan8268 That is a lie
@@tasinal-hassan8268 He may have killed innocents but he was a good ruler
It’s amazing that this individual is known today primarily because of Bram Stoker’s tale. It is somewhat unsurprising in light of that, however, that what is remembered of him is his cruelty. Hearing and seeing your account of him here has at the very least given me more information to consider when evaluating a particular person and moment in history. The story about the trader and the ducat is on par with Solomon and the two women claiming to be the mother of a child! Very much looking forward to part II!
yesca jasta I was merely stating that the way he is remembered is unsurprising in light of the vehicle which has brought his name to most people’s attention. In his day that cruelty required context in order to be of any use and, historically speaking, removing that context reduces him to mere trivia...and he was certainly no trivial figure during his reign. Certainly he deserves some credit for successfully resisting the Turks?
@@Pb-ij4ip you are right friend.
He, alongside his cousin - Stefan cel Mare (Stephen the Great) are notorious for basically repelling the Ottoman expansion further into the region during their reigns.
You should also look up Stephen the Great. Stephen was referred to as Athleta Christi - Champion of Christ by Pope Sixtus the IV, although being orthodox.
He is even canonized in orthodox faith and had a approximately 50 year reign.
@@loungekiller that is interesting. I think I WILL look him up. Thanks!
Finally a comment without Leftist bias! Most people DO NOT read and DO NOT consult historical sources, yet they express opinions based rather on prejudice than facts and historical context.
Thank you, Knowledgia for this amazing 2 part post!!!❤❤❤
on thing is sure: as a bad vampire or reabilitated as the good guy Dracula will always sell. Some dudes are born to be popular
Been playing the Dracula Campaign on Age of Empires II and wanted to learn more about him, awesome video
This is completely different from books and articles I've read that made him out to be a soulless monster. According to the video yea he was brutal, but it was to those who were corrupt, those who didn't play their part in society...can't wait for the next part
Respect Romania from Turkey :)
Also, my ancestors are from Romanian and Moldovian Turkish
Shame Vlad never impaled your ancestors
@@emptychair3932 lol, romanian turks and ottoman turks are different. turks in romania belong to cuman tribe, dracula is one of their descendens. in another side ottoman turks belong to oghuz tribe
@@muhammadzikro9406 He was of Wallachian-Cuman ancestry. Every source we have qualifies Basarab (the founder of the dynasty) as being Wallachian, which means that if he looked like a Wallachian, then the Cumans were either mixed with Romanians or were already Romanized. I suggest telling the whole truth the next time, and not just bits and pieces of it.

Facts Machine we do- his name is Putin. Vladimir Putin.......
@@eman2382 Minus the impaling
@@eman2382 Except there's one major difference here; Vlad wanted to rid his country of corruption by any means necessary, even if that meant impaling boyars (aristocrats). Putin on the other hand only makes them, and himself richer. He's a despot, how else would he cling to power if he wasn't corrupt?
@@exquizme Vlad wanted to become corrupt himself.
There are quite a few videos about Vlad Tepes , but I like this one so far the most ! Congratz !
Mircea cel Batrân -> Mircea the Elder
*he wasn't old (he was just 64 when he died) but he was the first Mircea in the dinasty so the writters wanted to clarify that he ruled in ancient times so they called him old (many romanians often get confused by his nickname).
bro 64 in the 1300s is like 120 now :D haha
@@dawnygaming5263 You obviously know jack shit about Romanian History! The sobriquet "the Elder" came many decades after his death, because he was the firs Mircea of the Basarab Dynasty to sit on the Wallachian throne. At the beginning of his reign, he was only 26 years old. So stop laughing like a fool and start reading!
Excellent video put together very well unlike Other historic videos Where the narrator throws multiple names and dates it's easy to get confused This basically and literally connects the dots with a wide range of cool graphics and pictures my favorite on TH-cam

There was a “professional” class of beggars in medieval times, and up till recently in the Balkans (there is a famous show, prosijaci I sinoci, that dramatizes their lives). They would go around house to house and harass people till they gave goods, mostly by using their Christian morals as leverage but also threatening with curses. These were people who took advantage of Jesus’ teachings. I can see why Vlad killed them off, and the people must have given a secret sigh of relief.
you can still see them on the streat
The people you describe are predominantly gypsies.
@@dr.embersfield1551 These days, yes. But before some non-gypsy clans did it as well. Fortunately that is no longer the case, and its only the gypsies.
they've moved to Paris nowadays :-)
@@cesareborgia6431 😂😂 What a burn. 🤭
Much respect. One of my favorite people from history. Very interesting man.
Desi indeed
Vlad II took the name Draculesti after his title as a member of the order of the Dragon.
Dracul in old Valahian meant Dragon and Dracula means "son of the Dragon"
@Laur Dinu
Vlad II started the Draculesti dynasty. He was named Dracul = Dragon
His son Vlad III was Dracula = Son of the Dragon.
Hmm, actually it was _Drăculea_ - slight difference, but now it actually makes sense in the language.
Only guy that stood up to the turks at that time, he was a hero of Europe.
Indeed
Europe had many heroes that defended the lands. I just wish Vlad would be recognized by more people. There's a book called Corpus Draculianum that is written by a german historian team and it is currently only written in german. But in 2020, they plan on releasing it in romanian and english too. There's some new information about to be released regarding the Impaler's past!
Was also Ștefan cel Mare(the Great) of Moldova,another romanian ruler

What about the christianization of europe that destroyed your pagan practices
What about Skanderbeg? He lived at the same time and have a similar story with Vlad, raised at the Ottoman court.

This is amazing content. I wish Vlad was able to live longer and kick out the Ottomans for good. Well it happened only 4 centuries later by someone named Russia.
Vlad Tepes is my favorite historical figure, a far more fascinating & horrific character than any vampire. Twisted though he was, he was an extremely gifted and brilliant man--the ultimate psychopathic genius...

Can hardly wait for part 2....
You can say it right like that, read this: (Vlad Tepes) Vlood Tzepesh. And his bithplace is (Sighisoara) See Gishoara. "Dracul" you shoul read it like Dracool, but you have to put your accent on the first vocal, on "a". "Radu" is Radoo, same thing with the accent on "a". Anywhere you meet "u" is in fact "oo". You got Mircea perfect.
If all rulers were like Vlad Tepesh, there would never be corruption. Can you imagine a world where everyone is treated the same when it comes to breaking the law and jobs given based on merit, not contacts and or money? No more wars.

Nice work. When the 2nd part will be ready?
" Vlad Țepeș my hero !! "
I don't know who says he was a tyrant or a hero. For me he was and will be a Hero. He defended us from all enemies, he never let his head down, everything he did he did to protect our Roman blood. His methods were grotesque because his enemies were many and he adapted grotesque methods to look like a Monster, but he wasn't ... he was like a father who would do anything to protect his children.
Edit:
what is explained in this video is only 10 percent of what he really did (where the video ends where the legend begins)

Your videos are really awesome and entertaining. I'm learning more about our history than I've done in school...but I gotta say, the way you pronounce our romanian words is quite funny :P
This guy is a genious on fighting against a numerous superior rival
This Basarab family is truly a dinasty of warriors, real heroes. Im so curiuous to know if there's still nowadays someone related to this family.
I like și much your videos , big like from Romania
happy to learn something about this gentleman ..............
Vlad the impaler was a hero, a champion of the one true faith, and the infidels who opposed him got what they deserve.
He was defeated by the Ottomans and body chopped into pieces. He certainly got what he deserved...As for infidels, vlad killed christian women and children. Were they infidels? His brother Radu became a devout sunni muslim and defeated him.
@The Chosen One I prefer facts from the horse mouth and from what we know, that child killer was sliced into bits and his body parts were put on display throughout the empire...
As for Radu, he was a devout believer and commander of janissary forces. He was responsible for putting 30,000 shiite safawid terrorists to death as well as playing major role in the capture of constantinople.
When his father died, both the brothers were given the opportunity to by the sultan to go back and take care of his dominion however Radu refused whilst Vlad became trecherous and betrayed his ottoman masters.
Radu also smashed his brothers forces after vlads initial rampage and was king up until his natural death, after which vlad re captured that territory.
Vlads behaviour in all honesty would make even Hitler blush..
@The Chosen One dear friend vlad was not a good guy. He commit crimes against fellow Christians and his issue wasn't with ottoman oppression rather vengeance for his father giving in to the ottomans. His father realised earlier on he was better off under the ottomans since they were seen to be far more just than those Christian rulers around him. Vlad knew this well thus hated his father.
This is a fact.
The ottomans were a multicultural empire whose people for most part loved their rulers..sure they had revolutions and uprisings towards the end but unlike anywhere in the rest of the word, everybody had rights they were happy with.. Jews Muslims Christians atheists all lived together.. And dont give me crap about dhimmi.. A dhimmi has more rights than even Christians were afforded under their greedy fat gluttonous overlord.. Ottomans by comparison were angels..
Christian Europe on the other hand was racist, looked down upon black people as animals and anything that didnt believe in a triune God was the spawn of Satan..
As for radu and the Christian propaganda you spew, its all fantasy from a Christian mindset.
You see, unlike you folks out clergy are not known for sexual abuse.. But especially of boys.. This is specifically a Christian past time, hobby and trait so it's no surprise you'd want to tarnish us with your crimes just so you can sleep better at night..
If someone abused me I would plan day and night how to kill him, not to fight for him and place my utmost devotion to him..
Heck, is even distance myself from his religion.. Clearly with Radu, we see the complete opposite..
We have many more famous janissaries but radu stands out because of his brother and what he did for the empire.. We have everything documented just as we have prophets Muhammad's words documented.. What have you documented?
Nothing! so you use you perverted mind for conjecture and wishful thinking..
And dear friend I'm a convert to Islam.
I didn't always bat for this side..not that long ago I was very anti Islam and was also extremely brainwashed...i thank my creator for guiding me to the truth..
And forgive me if I come across rudeness.. Its not personal nor intended..
@The Chosen One Vlad did weed out curruption and no doubt he did a lot of good for those that supported him but that's not what we're talking about here.
Take ISIS in Syria for example..regardless of how the media portrayed them, they did do positive things on the ground to win over hearts and minds with many preferring their rule over the Pro Western rebel forces who were seen to be currupt...which of course, many were..
But as soon as isis were seen to be doings things anti thetical to Islam, 99.9999 percent of the Muslim population turned their backs on them and now hate isis with a vengeance.
You see dear friend, although isis emerged due to the Iraqi invasion and the mindless atrocities commited by shiite death squads soon after, isis had every right to exist and its existence was justified but here is the thing...
A practicing Muslim won't support someone simply for the sake of supporting even though to an outsider it would seem the obvious choice...to support said group of course and the reason Muslims don't support them is largely due to the fact that they take their religion seriously and the acts of isis were in clear violation of the scripture..isis also believed the end justifies the means and that is also against islam.
Now we have yourself who looks at this particular part of history through these peculiar lens whereby the evil of a man is ignored due to your belief, in this instance at least is that the end justifies the means..
Thats what your saying in regards to Vlad, right?
Regardless of what he did, he did for the best, right?
Vlad was in clear violation of all norms of war and peace and human values...he did things no one ever did at that time with his level of barbarity....
His mindless killing of Entire villages of Muslims and Muslim sympathising Christians just took his reputation to another level... And he did this over and over and over again.. Forget the stakes. You rallyaught to read history from the perspective of the other side.
It may surprise you...and ottomans were not liars btw..
Vlad was also Trecherous and broke his word on a whim.. This was a trait of his.
The ottomans were many things but no one can ever accuse them of trechary, violating treaties or killing women and children... It just didn't happen.
And as for this revisionist history.. Lol
All agenda driven.. This academic war on Islam is an extension of the war on Islam.. All lies and fabrications btw.. Scraping the barrel to stop the rise and rise of Islam..
And btw did you know in a period of 10 years, 100,000 brits covered to Islam with 33 percent being women?
Amd the numbers and higher for Germany and France.. Why is this, do you know?
And ease don't take offence with my language and I apolosie for earlier. I didnt mean to come across negatively. I deal with proper brainwashed lunatics on youtube who spread hate and seek violence and unfortunately my language just came across when replying to you. Sorry about that. Your not like those idiots...
@The Chosen One For all the good Vlad did, my scripture stipulates that no one knows who will be in the hell fire and who will end up in the Garden..
And on that basis it's up to our creator to decide where we all end up, not you nor I nor any Muslim either.
We are judged based on what is in the heart at the moment of death..
There will be people who believe in their creator but during the moment of death, their hearts will decline at that beautiful worldly inclination to God they once had thus forfeit all the good they did in this life to something more suited to the heart, in the hereafter.
As for some who disvelieved in this life, upon their death, a realisation will manifest whereby they became believers.. This is what my creator informs me of when it comes to the mankind and how not to judge others.
We are judged purely based on our Intentions, meaning, should we both take the same action on any given matter, even if we make the same decision, its our intentions that will ultimately decide its virtue -
Whether it was the right or the wrong thing to do.
Basically, if Vlad, in full integrity did what he did in the assumption that what he did was purely for good and he didn't know any better, he will be judged according to what was in his heart.
This is what Islam stipulates.
I can have an opinion and so can you but the only informed decision belongs to our creator and our creator alone..
We are brothers just as Vlad is our brother and one day Vlad will be resurrected to explain what he did just as you and I will for how we lived our life.
I cannot help him on that day and nor can he help you. Our support or hatred for him will yield us no benefit on that day...
And spirituality, it doesn't truly exist anywhere outside of Islam. What's exists is ego and delusion.
All religions have been bought and are now dead / inactive...islam however is thriving due to exponential growth in all age groups and races.. .. I have stastical date to prove this..ill forward this to you if you want. There is good reason for this but we will discuss that another time..
You See, I always believed in a multiverse. Believed spaceships and time machines will one day manifest..
I Believed more than what what's apparant..i believed we after death go from one plane to another.. One dimension to another.. One form of energy to another. This at the end of the day is what science also asserts.
Well, when I gradually understood everything I thought for myself, Islam had asserted... Well.. I was just blown away... I still continue to be blown away by what I'm learning and I'd love to de ate these things with you in a positive and productive way.. Maybe you can learn from me and I from you..
As for my conversion, i went looking for errors but it led me to the truth...
It gave me clarity and 1m percent certainly of everything that I always knew in the back of my mind.. It gave me peace of mind and Now I'm in compete inner peace and harmony with myself.. I'm not a closet racist anymore.
Please dear friend read the quran in your native tongue and do it for the sake of acdemia..read.. learn....understand...reflect and try to debunk.. Look for errors and contradictions.. Read it in context and back to back...
This life is like us as a bird trapped in a cage but with the cage being the human body and the bird being the human soul..
The REAL fun adventurous everlasting life is yet to come and only those worthy of eternal life will make it through.
My wish is for everyone to get through because at the end of the day we are all one family..
Can you imagine Vlad and the sultans sitting on a fat sofa in paradise discussing their war tactics of old..
In this weird and wonderful quantum mechanical world, one cannot ever count anything out... Lol
Maybe next time we can discuss theology. I'd like that.. What I'd like more is for you to enter paradise as my brother.. Enter paradise after you escape your current physical form and traverse the multiverse in our own spaceships far above this dimension.. Lol.
Take care and good night mate... Its been nice taking to you..
A great ruler with a very interesting story and legend behind him
The long story of revenge was intriguing, and the construction of the fortress built was amazing.
But if tell it to the story, it's a lot complicated, and since the confusion is from start to finish, it will be a difficult challenge to make it good.
We need part 2
That map is amazing.
Snowing Sideways that’s a wall poster
Hungary is huge!
Kristen: I strongly question the end goal of Vlad's father Vlad Dracul II. His father had to be crazy to abandon both of his two younger sons. Vlad became who he was because of his father.
the father didn't have a choice
poor Wallachians, Moldavians they were manipulated blindly by the church to hate Ottomans and to fight against them. I would have had a deep respect for them if they would ally with the Ottomans and conquer the whole civilized world starting with Hungary, Rome and Holy Roman Empire and then the rest.
@@judahslioncub5840 What are you talking about dude? The Ottomans were an *invading empire,* there to *conquer* and annex everyone as vasal states!
You could not "ally" with them without bending the knee & paying an yearly hefty tribute. Some of which consisted of *children* - sent to be raised in the Ottoman Is/lamic way & later supplement their armies.
You had a subservient position under the Empire & the end goal was to become a M/uslim nation. How is that better than the other empires, lol?
You're crazy 😄 I feel very lucky Isl/am didn't win over Europe. Our lives would've been a living hell & our cultures damaged forever by their distorted sense of morality.
@@dyawr just picture the wallachians and moldavians with the jannessaries kneeling europe. they were just church puppets. 200 years later, Mihai the Brave was killed by the habsburgic empire (by the allies). this is the result of the choices made in the past by the other leaders. in theory, you just can’t fight against the force of nature, someone just needs to cope with it. this is why this nation didn’ t have time to evolve because they had to defend those bastards and sacrifice their blood.
@@judahslioncub5840 Uh, no - they fought for themselves, first and foremost. For their independence. And as a result of these choices, the unifications in 1859 and 1918 happened.
Anyway, Wallachia and Moldavia did fall and were Ottoman vassals for a good 3-400 years, for the most part. Still, they wanted to free themselves from the empire... of course!
_"they were just church puppets"_ - which Church? Constantinople fell in the 1400's & that was the head of the Byzantine Church.
Romanians were Orthodox, they didn't follow Pope's sovereignty or the Catholic Church. And lastly - *Christianity was Romanians' identity and religion!*
What do you mean they should've *"allied with the Ottomans"* ? (and treaties were signed with the Ottomans, anyway) Or that they were "puppets of the Church"?
The Ottomans wanted to Islamize the lands they conquered! *They wanted to subjugate Chris/tianity!* Romanians were fighting for their religion and way of life, against a conquering enemy!
I don't understand the angle you are coming from with this - if you're a muslim or what. But Romanians *were Europe.* (part of Europe, I mean)
Good video, but can you do a video about Skanderbeg and Albania in a future content?
You gotta love it, when it comes to Vlad, the whole Europe unites in the comment section against the islamisation of Europe and makes us forget the differences between us, seems cool to see romanians, hungarians, serbs, polish, bulgarians etc finding common ground when talking about history. Seems like Christianity is not just about God.
You completely left out the Ottoman siege of Belgrade, which was the event that allowed both Vlad and Stephen to make their bid for their thrones, while the Turks had most of their forces at Belgrade, or in the case of Stephen, were still licking their wounds. You didn't even move the flags, even though it was led by Mehmed II himself. It was the Sultan's first and most humiliating defeat, after his conquest on Constantinople-- which you also left out!
The period where Vlad and Stephen were fugitives from both Hunyadi and Vladislav II could have also used some major elaboration. This lasted for over a year, during which time they didn't simply bounce between Brasov and Sibiu, or remain "in hiding" in that same area. I'll give you a hint: You need a bigger map!
@Joemontana G - Yes, he was born to Transylvanian peasants. I don't recall saying otherwise.
Everyone says how cruel he was... his brother was tortured and buried alive his father Assassinated. He had to be vicious just to survive
there need's to be a part two we want to know more about him
Tepes of Sigisara a Vlach voivod. Anyway, great map works and glyphs for persons and other things.
the extra ducat episode isnt a case of overreacting as you say, it shows his indomitable integrity
Sometimes overreacting isn't a bad thing :)
Knowledgia nailing a turban to an emissaries head, definitely an overreaction or intentional incitement, but were not there yet in the timeline of ur video, cant wait til part 2, will you mention the impaled priest and donkey episode?
Who knows? 🙄 We will see. I see you already know something.
a suggestion. would be interesting talk about Dom Pedro II from brazil,many people dont know about the Brazilian empire but if im right was the nineth biggest empire
and many brazilians believe he was the best leader brazil ever had
brasil is latins portuguese
I love this Man.😆😆❤️❤️❤️
You should do one on his cousin, Stefan cel Mare (Stephen the Great). As the name suggests, he was a successful ruler who had a much longer reign. Successfully repelled the Ottoman expansion during his reign and js even canonized in orthodox faith.
Although orthodox he was also referred to as Athleta Christi - Champion of Christ by Pope Sixtus IV (who failed to support him or Vlad, for that matter as well).
Vlad prob told Radu: "My future countrymen and ancestors are smiling upon me, can you say the same sheep?"
Yet 12% of Bulgarian population is Muslim so some have followed the steps of Radu
@@Waldo-mn9iq they still prob barely know of him. Point was that most of Romania praises vlad and became famous known as dracula for being cruel and rebellious while Radu was afraid of the Ottomans and did as they demanded
RESPECT VLAD TEPES! RESPECT VALAHIA! RESPECT ROMANIA! WITH LOVE AND PEACE!
This was a fun video. If anything Vlad was one of a kind.
This guy must be from Romania. He films too much videos about Romania.
I love you Knowledgia! Your montage is so great. I don't care about what are your videos, I will still watch them!
he butchers the names, so he's not. he's not even from the region,.
*The bird of Hermes is my name, eating my wings to keep me tame*

Is black magic and witches are real in Romania?
@@ayushman3339 yes,we all live in old houses,we own black cats and we drink blood to keep our body strong.We don’t have a reflection in the mirror and we can’t go outside in the daytime .We sometimes transform into bats btw.
