When you seized the thrones and lands too fast that all 3 major powers formed a coalition... all the while you don’t have level 2 forts in the other 2 realms
As a Romanian and actually the fact that I live in Oltenia, the place from where Mihai started his ascension, this videos about him and about the Romanian history in general brings me much joy
That's awesome. :) I lived most of my life near Orasul de Floci (Piua Petrii), the birthplace of Mihai. My great grandmother is from there when the town was still existing.
@@2ears1mouth786 great military commander, but a horrible politician, those territories has never been truly united, it was impossible to erase thousands of years of foreign conquest and different political and personal interests in such a short time. He should have tried to gain the full trust of the peoples and the nobles from the three principalities before starting such a difficult and daring campaign, also the international situation was totally against him, the three great powers in the region were at peace with one another, and none of the three didn't wanted a strong Romanian country because was against their interests. If I have to describe him in one word I would use the word: reckless.
@Free Spirited Cat To achieve the unity of all the regions inhabited by the Romanians, a long campaign was needed to promote this idea and to obtain the support of the nobility and the citizens of these regions. Mihai, on the contrary, did the exact opposite, surpassing the inhabitants of both Wallachia and those of the other regions after unification, this led to the lack of support of their subjects. Also due to the apparent peace between the great powers of the region, it was very difficult to find allies, the only ones who supported him to a certain extent were the Habsburgs, in the first phase Mihai had to accept the sovereignty of Emperor Rudolf, at least until the new country would have stabilized. Also before the unification, after the successful campaign against the Ottomans in the first years of rule and the creation of some kind of stability in Wallachia, the country had to be restored militarily and economically. Also the excessive use of mercenaries for me is a problem, this has led to the weakening of the normal army, and also led to leaving the country a very large amount of money, money that could have been used to improve their own army.
@@NimbleBard48 He actually got the 4th place on the 100 greatest romanians list. And if there was a list about only romanian leaders, he would've definitely got into top 3.
@@alinalexandru2466 No, I'm never kidding. I don't have a sense of humor. Haha, just kidding. Yeah, there was so much awesome info that I didn't want to cut. But to include it all I had to make 3 additional episodes.
This was so sad, seeing how genuis he was and the amount of success he had but to still fall in the end due to having many powerful enemies and the generally poor state of his powerbase of Wallachia resorting to many unpopular reforms and the heavily reliance on mercenaries to secure his kingdom.
Happens with a lot of generals. They win battles but they can't rule kingdoms. If these reforms are accurate then Mihai was destined to lose his control of the territory he recently conquered. And sooner or later you have to stop using mercenaries and need time to train your own troops. I'm guess he knew he was a wanted man from all of his neighbours and desperately tried to raise enough men to fight them all off. It is a losing strategy, and would never have worked. He needed someone to support him, just 1 neighbour. Difficult situation really.
@@Madhattersinjeans It honestly seems like the only way to survive this would be to kneel to one of his neighbours and ally themselves against the other 2.
Three suggestions that I desperately want to see. First, the Battle of Emmaus. Betzalel Bar-Kokhva's excellent book on the Maccabean Revolt is a great source for this, giving a detailed account of the battle. Second, the Battle of Oravais. The climax of the 1809 Russo-Swedish War, it's a battle that really deserves more renoun. Thirdly, the Battle of Hulao. It's a Chinese battle, the greatest victory of Li Shimin, and one of history's most amazing victories against the odds. Please do these. I'd love to see them.
@@HistoryMarche If you'd like, I can send you a free PDF of Betzalel Bar-Kokhva's book. It's a really interesting book, and the only in-depth academic military history of the Maccabean Revolt I've ever found.

Hey there my friend. I finally get a day off! Yes, Great Courses is an awesome service. I've been subscribed for years and I'm always glad when I can get a free trial for my subscribers.
This is by far the best and my favourite history channel on youtube. I love your work! Just keep doing what you are doing guys! Thank you for covering the history of our Romanian heroes. What they did for our country and for Europe must never be forgotten! I would love to see videos covering the Normans and the crusades, also videos about Richard the Lionheart. The amount of details and research that you put in your videos is amazing. Much love to the team❤️
I'm torn a bit.Can't wait for the people to see the 5th(and final?) part, tho it will be kinda sad >.>.... And once again thank you for sharing these great stories of these great romanian leaders!
@@IchKomentiereNur123 Mihai played his cards the way he saw fit. Now we can all say he could have done some things different, but his accomplishments were valuable enough, given that his newly founded kingdom was surrounded by predators.
@@IchKomentiereNur123 The peasants suffered because he needed to gain the elite's favor to have even a chance to hold the powers back enough for peace,if there was peace and some stability then he would have improved them. Its easy to say he did that and he should have done that when you have hindsight but still dont provide better ideas,would you have done better? Most likely not +who how the situation really was.
@@mojewjewjew4420 Yeah so other people pay the price for your ambitions. I dont see how thats something to be celebrated. Im not denying that he was a talented commander and politican but in the end it was all self serving. You have to ask yourself for whom he did what he did and the awnser is clear. Kingdoms werent harmonious entities, in the end it was a oppressive feudal system that exploited peasants and made them serfs. I dont think they cared back then if it was a wallachian, german or polish noble who took their grain. Fact is they were better off with their previous oppressors than with Mihai.
@@IchKomentiereNur123 He didnt do it for himself primarly and even if he did,everyone did that so how is he worst? You are not romanian or from the region perhaps to understand + your too ignorant/lazy to search on the internet which tells you plenty of things he did,funny thing is he did more than you ever will but you say he did nothing. Another contradicting point of yours is that "they were better with their previous oppressors than with Mihai" man you either dont know history or are biased af,you on your own words said "previous oppressors" how can they be better with oppressors? Mihai wasn't a oppressor he taxed them because the country was in grave danger and so many others did the same but you condemn him without knowing the context,so your opinion is invalid. Funny you mention the feudal system when the system we use today is not different maybe its even the same with modern caracters which once again won't satisfy your biased views so you won't even do some research on the topic,the world didnt really change much we just adapted,improvized and overcame the test of time.
Such a nice surprise, I didn't expect the next part to come so fast! My prediction from the last episode was obviously wrong. I should've guessed that the battle of Bucov will be in the final episode. It shows that I don't know much about those matters if they didn't directly involve the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth but it only makes this video better, as I learned more from it. :)
@@stalinskaya9516 Yes, very probably. But I still assume that the Zamoyski's expedition of 1600 will be at least mentioned, as most of those episodes cover more than the "main event" in the title.
@@Artur_M. Yes , what did happen to Romanians lead by Michael the Great ,to be attack and share by other great powers in 1600 ,same would happen unfortunetly to Poland when it would be partition by other evil great powers in the 18th century . So i think polish people know better what romanians have feel in 1600
@@HistoryMarche love it, oh and by the way i am an orthodox monk.... love such kind of videos. Originally i am from Iasi city of Moldavia, but i live in Aiud Transylvania near Miraslau
Mihai the Brave was one the best generals of the 16th century, but even he was not invincible. With Hapsburg Austria, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the Ottoman Empire closing in on the Romanians I'm guessing that this is gonna go the same way that the American Civil War would eventually go. The Romanians will fight tooth and nail, and win many battles, but they will gradually be worn down and overwhelmed by the massive amounts of manpower and resources that their opponents can throw at them.
The Romanians were vassal of ottoman empire. They did not fight agains them they fought with ottomans together many times, Hand by hand. They only paid tribute and they only fought if they had no more money the pay. It is the truth
I have at least a dozen animated military history channels saved, it's more than just 3. For example Hoc Est Bellum has some amazingly animated videos as well.
The three principalities were at peace. Until their overlord ambitions changed the diplomatic conditions of their territories and all three soon began amassing large scale military assets. In order to counter each others influence on the region. They resorted to the viewers and subs within their domains to give them levy’s for further military superiority.
Thank you very much for this beautiful video about Romania history! Please try to present more battles from Romania history, even from the Dacian wars!
@@GM-os6fo No, they are only one of the founders of Romanian people. On which base do you think they are primitive? Every civilization had strengths, weakness, they was one of the most important confederation of tribes on the nord of Danube. Maybe they dont had big cosmopolis like ancient greeks or romans, but the same apply for the celts. And dont forget the impact celtic people had in the history and formations of other nations....
@@decebal82 we don't know nothing about dacian ppl. We don't even know what language the ppl spoke there... Romanians keep trying to steel a history as always.. You are walachians) my friend. And it's not our fault it doesn't enough for U.. You just want more lool
@@GM-os6fo We know quite a lot about Dacian people. And how many language we lost? This means that the people was primitive? Aztecs, Mayans, they dont know the wheel, but this make them primitive?! Dont forget what they can achieve without this invention. What we Romanian steal? Yes, I'm Walachian, through region, but Romanian by ancestors, language, history. So the same for Moldavians, Transylvanians. You dont understand something from this videos about Michael the Brave, Skandenberg and so on. What can do a small people, and how they are treated by the more powerful neighbors. Moldavian was a buffer for Grand Duchy of Poland and Lithuania, Habsburg Empire fought with the Ottomans on our land. This is the reason we dont had a unified state. Romans, dont forget waht they steal from Greece, Etruscan people. In your opinion they are primitive too?! They are thiefs?! Even in present days, it is normal that people borrow what is best from other people, this is history and the beauty of nations. This is the reason i say Thank You to Serbian, Bulgarian and all other people who fought alongside Michael the Brave. Only in this way united we can have our own identity, the right to choose our own destiny, our independence.
@@decebal82 I mean primitive cuz u try to take soo much what isn't yours. Like : history of Dacia province. There is a 1000years gap between Dacia and wallacia. Du u really think the dacian ppl survived in the forest for 1000years??? U need to be a bit ignorant if u think that they were the same ppl as Romanians.. The only thing why u keep pushing this daco Roman (Theory) cuz u wanna take the history of transilvania. . there is plenty of history . And u wanna claim that you were the first one there.. It's all your reasons that's why it is so important for Romanians . Peace be with u
Well, I'm getting what you're saying to be more like a poetic statement, since this is ROMANian history, after all. But, in reality this unification, hardly has anything to do with the Roman Empire, other than the fact that Transilvania si actually the realm of the former Dacia Traiana.
Gunit Albania Rome was founded as a kingdom by Romulus. In total Rome had seven kings until the last king, Tarquin the Proud was overthrown and the Roman Republic was founded.

Part 5 will be released in 2-3 days.
@@HistoryMarche This is amazing. Too bad that in part 5 I'll witness the death of one of Romania's national heroes.
i haven't started watching the video but i have already given it a thumbs up
I can't help but like this guy
I can only marvel at your superpowers oh blessed and mighty mago!
By the way my friend, "the great courses" is a company that their work i've been using and watching since at least 2010 ,a great service with a amazing and seriously educational content.
Please do more videos too!!
@@alexwallachian7720 a new one is coming pretty soon!
@@hocestbellumchannel excellent looking forward!
Hey there my friend. I finally get a day off! Yes, Great Courses is an awesome service. I've been subscribed for years and I'm always glad when I can get a free trial for my subscribers.
Yep, I'm hyped for HEB's new video, it'll be a beast!
This is by far the best and my favourite history channel on youtube. I love your work! Just keep doing what you are doing guys! Thank you for covering the history of our Romanian heroes. What they did for our country and for Europe must never be forgotten! I would love to see videos covering the Normans and the crusades, also videos about Richard the Lionheart. The amount of details and research that you put in your videos is amazing. Much love to the team❤️
The nordic and cathar crusades(agains other christians) would be interesting too.
Romanian Székely Ah yes! The battle om the ice. Very intresting aswell!
Great series. Thanks
I'm torn a bit.Can't wait for the people to see the 5th(and final?) part, tho it will be kinda sad >.>....
And once again thank you for sharing these great stories of these great romanian leaders!
They were only great for wallachian nobles, the average romanian peasant suffered greatly from his ambitions
@@IchKomentiereNur123 Mihai played his cards the way he saw fit. Now we can all say he could have done some things different, but his accomplishments were valuable enough, given that his newly founded kingdom was surrounded by predators.
@@IchKomentiereNur123 The peasants suffered because he needed to gain the elite's favor to have even a chance to hold the powers back enough for peace,if there was peace and some stability then he would have improved them.
Its easy to say he did that and he should have done that when you have hindsight but still dont provide better ideas,would you have done better? Most likely not +who how the situation really was.
@@mojewjewjew4420 Yeah so other people pay the price for your ambitions. I dont see how thats something to be celebrated. Im not denying that he was a talented commander and politican but in the end it was all self serving. You have to ask yourself for whom he did what he did and the awnser is clear. Kingdoms werent harmonious entities, in the end it was a oppressive feudal system that exploited peasants and made them serfs. I dont think they cared back then if it was a wallachian, german or polish noble who took their grain. Fact is they were better off with their previous oppressors than with Mihai.
@@IchKomentiereNur123 He didnt do it for himself primarly and even if he did,everyone did that so how is he worst?
You are not romanian or from the region perhaps to understand + your too ignorant/lazy to search on the internet which tells you plenty of things he did,funny thing is he did more than you ever will but you say he did nothing.
Another contradicting point of yours is that "they were better with their previous oppressors than with Mihai" man you either dont know history or are biased af,you on your own words said "previous oppressors" how can they be better with oppressors? Mihai wasn't a oppressor he taxed them because the country was in grave danger and so many others did the same but you condemn him without knowing the context,so your opinion is invalid.
Funny you mention the feudal system when the system we use today is not different maybe its even the same with modern caracters which once again won't satisfy your biased views so you won't even do some research on the topic,the world didnt really change much we just adapted,improvized and overcame the test of time.
Thank u for this unusual history seria : ) usually all ignore east part of EU... Love from Chernobil Realm aka Ukraine
Part 5 will be released in 2-3 days
What AN amazing person he was
Thanks for the upload!
"Basta" in italian means "enough / stop it"
Well, he was born in Taranto.
Well that explain the romanian expresion of "cu asta basta" eng:"with that basta"(literar translation), "basta with that"(more accurate translation)
Despite his Italian name and birthplace , I've heard he came from a family of Albanian stratiotis who had left Albania after the ottoman conquest
That was quickly, amazing
Part 5 will be released in 2-3 days.
Such a nice surprise, I didn't expect the next part to come so fast! My prediction from the last episode was obviously wrong. I should've guessed that the battle of Bucov will be in the final episode. It shows that I don't know much about those matters if they didn't directly involve the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth but it only makes this video better, as I learned more from it. :)
The battle of Gurăslău (sounds weirdly close to Mirăslău but its true) is probably the last episode of the series :(
@@stalinskaya9516 Yes, very probably. But I still assume that the Zamoyski's expedition of 1600 will be at least mentioned, as most of those episodes cover more than the "main event" in the title.
@@Artur_M. possibly the next episode showing the fallout from this defeat and the other interventions
@@Artur_M. Yes , what did happen to Romanians lead by Michael the Great ,to be attack and share by other great powers in 1600 ,same would happen unfortunetly to Poland when it would be partition by other evil great powers in the 18th century . So i think polish people know better what romanians have feel in 1600
Part 5 will be released in 2-3 days.
Nice effort man
Good job as always
Part 4!? So soon!? I was expecting to wait for weeks! What a pleasant suprise!
Fun fact: John Smith fought in Michael's army.
Who is John Smith?
@@lupusdivinorum4673 The Pocahontas one.
But not the Disney one. Okay?
@@petergray2712 'Course not the Disney one. Thats the "family-friendly" version.

Oh my God, two videos of HistoryMarch in a row. Thanks
Part 5 will be released in 2-3 days.
I loved this series especially.
Love y'alls videos!!!
SUBSCRIBED ! i live near MIRASLAU in Romania. This place is legendary
Welcome to the channel.
@@HistoryMarche love it, oh and by the way i am an orthodox monk.... love such kind of videos. Originally i am from Iasi city of Moldavia, but i live in Aiud Transylvania near Miraslau
i downloaded your videos since i dont quite have all the time internet
@@mocanucatalincristi136 Hehe, no problem. Enjoy watching them :)
HistoryMarche: As brave as Michael of Wallachia.
Mihai the Brave was one the best generals of the 16th century, but even he was not invincible. With Hapsburg Austria, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the Ottoman Empire closing in on the Romanians I'm guessing that this is gonna go the same way that the American Civil War would eventually go. The Romanians will fight tooth and nail, and win many battles, but they will gradually be worn down and overwhelmed by the massive amounts of manpower and resources that their opponents can throw at them.
The Romanians were vassal of ottoman empire. They did not fight agains them they fought with ottomans together many times, Hand by hand. They only paid tribute and they only fought if they had no more money the pay. It is the truth
@@GM-os6fo They fouht against ottomans, wtf are you nuts? Ah, yes, you're Hungayrian
@@GM-os6fo I think you should learn some history.
Thank you so much! I love this series.
Olympus bless Great Courses Plus!

I have at least a dozen animated military history channels saved, it's more than just 3. For example Hoc Est Bellum has some amazingly animated videos as well.
Historia civilitas
The Tetrarchy - Kings and Generals, History Marche, BazBattles and Epic History!!!!
The three principalities were at peace. Until their overlord ambitions changed the diplomatic conditions of their territories and all three soon began amassing large scale military assets. In order to counter each others influence on the region. They resorted to the viewers and subs within their domains to give them levy’s for further military superiority.
you deserve more subs at least 700k
Hail HistoryMarch! Hail!
Best history documentary ❤️❤️❤️
Is it just me or is the music freaking boppin’ in this one?? Like the intro track is incredible
I actually had to search for the word "bop" online. Learn something every day... :)
HistoryMarche love these replies ❤️
Ahh this is so good!
I Love This Channel 🔥🔥
Thank you very much for this beautiful video about Romania history! Please try to present more battles from Romania history, even from the Dacian wars!
Dacian history isn't Romanian.
@@GM-os6fo No, they are only one of the founders of Romanian people. On which base do you think they are primitive? Every civilization had strengths, weakness, they was one of the most important confederation of tribes on the nord of Danube. Maybe they dont had big cosmopolis like ancient greeks or romans, but the same apply for the celts. And dont forget the impact celtic people had in the history and formations of other nations....
@@decebal82 we don't know nothing about dacian ppl. We don't even know what language the ppl spoke there... Romanians keep trying to steel a history as always.. You are walachians) my friend. And it's not our fault it doesn't enough for U.. You just want more lool
@@GM-os6fo We know quite a lot about Dacian people. And how many language we lost? This means that the people was primitive? Aztecs, Mayans, they dont know the wheel, but this make them primitive?! Dont forget what they can achieve without this invention. What we Romanian steal? Yes, I'm Walachian, through region, but Romanian by ancestors, language, history. So the same for Moldavians, Transylvanians. You dont understand something from this videos about Michael the Brave, Skandenberg and so on. What can do a small people, and how they are treated by the more powerful neighbors. Moldavian was a buffer for Grand Duchy of Poland and Lithuania, Habsburg Empire fought with the Ottomans on our land. This is the reason we dont had a unified state. Romans, dont forget waht they steal from Greece, Etruscan people. In your opinion they are primitive too?! They are thiefs?! Even in present days, it is normal that people borrow what is best from other people, this is history and the beauty of nations. This is the reason i say Thank You to Serbian, Bulgarian and all other people who fought alongside Michael the Brave. Only in this way united we can have our own identity, the right to choose our own destiny, our independence.
@@decebal82 I mean primitive cuz u try to take soo much what isn't yours. Like : history of Dacia province. There is a 1000years gap between Dacia and wallacia. Du u really think the dacian ppl survived in the forest for 1000years??? U need to be a bit ignorant if u think that they were the same ppl as Romanians.. The only thing why u keep pushing this daco Roman (Theory) cuz u wanna take the history of transilvania. . there is plenty of history . And u wanna claim that you were the first one there.. It's all your reasons that's why it is so important for Romanians . Peace be with u
This could be a great tvshow

Do a wonderful job congratulations!
2nd vid in a few days!
This is a surprise, but a welcome one to be sure.
Part 5 will be released in 2-3 days.
Last time I was this early Rome was still a Kingdom!
Gunit you need to read more
Well, I'm getting what you're saying to be more like a poetic statement, since this is ROMANian history, after all.
But, in reality this unification, hardly has anything to do with the Roman Empire, other than the fact that Transilvania si actually the realm of the former Dacia Traiana.
Gunit Albania Rome was founded as a kingdom by Romulus. In total Rome had seven kings until the last king, Tarquin the Proud was overthrown and the Roman Republic was founded.
I've just seen this one and the Battle of Selimber (PS:I live exactly on that battlefield, feels strange ) can't wait to see part 5
Really good
