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.
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.
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
THANK YOU for covering this subject. Especially in the English speaking world where it is unknown, the Hungarian invasions were probably the biggest issue for continental Europe. Much more than the vikings. Finally someone covers them in depth!
Árpád was certainly the Kabar Prince Kurszán, and therefore Kurszán and his successors had the title of gyula, the second highest title in the tribal federation.
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).

"Invasion of Western Europe" Your channel is very good, but I felt dissapointed. I thought you meant the Invasion of Western Europe taking place right now.

One of the very few big History/Warfare channels that hasn't deviated from its beginnings in my opinion. Well done King, never change!
What are the other ones that have changed?
@@tsdocholiday8965 kings and generals
True that
@@TheFlumpySquid how have they changed? They are probably the best history and military TH-cam channel in existence
I loved this series, nice to see it added all into 1 big video
Leaving my comment as a sacrifice for the algorithm but I didn’t expect the full series be uploaded. Thank you.
Oh my god the Magyars lets goooooo this series has been upon my favorites and opened a whole new historical interest for me.

A comment for the algorithm.
Pretty much the same happened in 1241 in the Battle of Muhi, with the Hungarians being at the receiving end, from the Mongols.
Pleeaaaase hannibal vid
"Invasion of Western Europe." I think this might be the vaguest title for a documentary I've ever seen...great show though!
Thankyou

Yessirrr
Poor puppers ☹️
map is incorrect at 37:35. the town marked as Szombarhely is probably Trnava or Nitra. (Szombathely is actually south of Sopron)
Comment sacrifice for the alg.
Why does it say Patreon ad-free version?
why the dog man😔
Cats were harder to catch back then...
May this comment be a sacrifice to the algorithm.
FUNFACT...the Mongols will defeat the MAGYARS with MAGYAR tactics 200+ years later when the Magyars become too European...
No! They lost the war... and the Magyars defended Europe....

This video is a repeat, not new content. Come on man, we wait 1 or 2 weeks for a vid, bring at least something new.
I had the same impression at first, but then i realized the same video became longer
