BazBattles this is the worst
@@citrixfruit
Come on the dude makes a video once a month, he has to make a living somehow
i know that they are offering good amount of money, but you are doing fake advertisement for a company which main income is getting people addicted on some stupid mobile games.
@@cactuslietuva
The whole gaming industry is built on that principle
If the game does actually get people addicted then it did its purpose
Even though from what I've seen RSL looks too boring to be addictive
Someone needs to ruin that company and set a sign against such invasive marketing.
The hilarious thing is, the more I see Raid: Shadow Legends ads, the less likely I am to ever play it.
It's become a meme.
R they owned by 10 cent?
Totally agree. The worst thing with the never stopping adds actually make people less interested in the game. I admit that when I first heard of it, I actually played for some time, a nice time killer while in the public transport. But these ads are starting to leave a mad taste in my mouth
@@The-Samuil yeah, its funny the first 5 times, but after that.. you know, 100 times later its just.. get on with it!!!
Samuil Terziyski you’re right. It is leaving a bad taste in your mouth. We need to stop tongue kissing on the bus.
This dude was straight up living Mount and Blade.
Justinian?
Warband
@@htoodoh5770 yeah
haha now that's funny and clever, so true ^^
- Your relation with your subjects has decreased from -10 to -20.
- Your enemies take you prisoner!
- Lost item: nose.
- 20 Bulgarian riders are willing to join you.
- Your relation with Khan Tervel has decreased from +5 to -15.
- Khan Tervel: That's a nice head you have on your shoulders!
- Pull back leaving some troops to cover your retreat.
- Retire from adventuring.
Today is a good day to watch rectangles fight each other.
Just like all days
Yeah Groups of people REALLY looked different back then!!!
Some days you just don't know how good it gets to watch these stories
That got me thinking...
Bulgarian 1: "Emperor Justinian has no nose!"
Bulgarian 2: "How does he smell?"
Bulgarian 1: "Terrible!"
*Bulgarian 2 dies of laughter*
3:58 I'm totally visualising this as there being two guys and he strangles them both at the same time one with each hand.
Like a scene from some Bollywood movie :D
wow, Khan Tervel seems to be a really nice dude.
Well, as nice as an early Medieval ruler can get, at least...
Not as nice when we speak for the Arabs ...
He is canonnised as a saint in the catholic church under the name of St. Tribellius , because of his defeat over the arabs
Tervel was in fact a Canas ubigi (a title translated by some historians as Knyaz from God or Great C(e)an by others) and Caesar of the Eastern Roman Empire as a title (given to him by Justinian to only the closest relatives of the Emperor because Tervel was the son-in-law of Justinian II, Czar as a title derives from Caesar, so Tervel was the First Bulgarian Czar long before the Russians adopted the title and claim their rulers were the first to have a Byzantine pricess for a bride), not khan (as in the Turkic tribes )!
@Catch_Me_If_You_Can Canas subigi was the inscription on Tervel's medalion (one of two only recently sold in NY), not khanas! By the way none of the Bulgarian rulers were named as khans!
Fun fact: The practice of nose-slitting which is what Justinian had suffered at the hands of his enemies was a way for them to ensure he would not return to power after being overthrown because the Byzantines believed that only those without bodily flaws (in other words major injuries or deformities) could one become emperor as it was believed as God's vicar on Earth, the Emperor had to remain bodily pure for the spiritual purity necessary for the task of ruling. And so rather than kill their enemies, one of the ways that usurpers to the Byzantine throne dealt with former emperors or pretenders was to mutilate their bodies so that they could never don the purple again. Normally this was done by blinding but cutting off the nose was also common as that was harder to hide. But Justinian didn't take heed to such cultural conventions and being as strong willed as he was made his comeback years later by taking Constantinople with his 15,000 strong Bulgarian army lent to him by Tervel. After retaking his throne Justinian appeared in the Hippodrome wearing a golden prosthetic nose along with Leontios and Tiberios and stood on their necks as a sign of his triumph. He then called for their heads, along with the heads of their followers, and even for the blinding of the Patriarch.
Damn history, you scary!
He was tough, but fair.
the same as muslim khalifities .. a lot were disfigured and blinded so they do not assume the throne in the abbasid era..since the khalif is also god's vicar on earth.
@@SSHitMan you can say a lot about him, but fair is not one of them I would use
As a history buff, I was surprised to have never heard of him, despite his cool story, but the typical retardation of going to war but not fortifying your camp or adequately scouting showed why I'd never heard of him. Yet another moron of history.
In terms of waging war, there aren't that many things you need to know, logistics and caution being the main points, but so many leaders refused to acknowledge them. It's infuriating.
Because of things like this we have a saying in Bulgaria: 'Byzantine tricks', it means exactly what we see here, someone trying to to use you when it benefits them and then screw you over. Byzantines were very smart politicians!
Pretty funny how a popular saying can originate more than 10 centuries from the past.
That's a nice phrase!
We have the exact same saying here in Turkey as well. "Bizans oyunları". Which is used when someone cleverly tricks someone else. I can now see where it originates from lol
Not really that smart...when you go around bullshitting everybody is what makes them betray you in turn (Latin Empire), ir stop trying to help you when the Turks are at the gates.
but that cunin and tricery is from weaknes. they where alwaus desperte for manpower and money and HAD to use ANYTHINg to acive thear goals without depleting thear manpower and money. Bulgarians get the brunt of thouse tricks but from what i have read the way they where tricing the Selquks emirs is legendary(before Osman) ! ..ofcours until the Latins sack Constantinopol and everyrything after was desperate damage controle.
5:35 Reclaimed his Imperial dignity, but not his nose.
Lol true
Ah, but the people that took it never regained their lives either.
Actually he got a replacement made of solid gold
Leader of Anti-Bennism now that’s flexing
They got his nose 🤥
We're in the leadup to the Siege of Constantinople here, exciting stuff
lol which one? 🤣
@@chriskapou3519 Fair point, there were quite a few of those.
The Siege of Constantinople in the early 8th century right at the beginning of Leo III's reign is the one I was referring to
@@olefredrikskjegstad5972 you mean this one th-cam.com/video/pXFDP5BQ7No/w-d-xo.html
@Donald Trump yeah, they could have done a better job though ...
@@olefredrikskjegstad5972 Leo III is one of the most underrated Roman emperors. He was famous for introducing iconoclasm and while we think it's a bad idea today it actually helped consolidate his political control. His defense of Constantinople was extremely improbable and without his leadership they would have surely lost. Imagine Muslim control of Constantinople in 717!
Justinian II was smart and ruthless which served him well, but Tervel was smart and noble which served him even better...
Treachery never works maybe at 1st but you always reap what you sow
The comeback is already impressive, but the fact he was able to convince Tervel to still support him later on is really cool. Though that could be that it's easier to be charitable as the victor.
Justinian: de no one other than me wil become emperor after exile.
Napoleon : I gonna do whats called a pro gamer move.
It's funny how often Bulgaria is overlooked as one of the greatest adversaries the Byzantine empire ever had,always being a thorn in its sight for around 700. Would love to see a video about the battle of Achelous 917 AD.
Simeon Dimchev Probably cause the Turks, Arabs and Normans were worst
Well the only reason bulgaria was an opponent for the byzantines, was because the byzantines were engaged on so many fronts. Up untill the collapse of the arab empires in the east, the romans were never able to commit to the bulgarian front. Once the Arab world fractured into smaller states, we see the byzantines quite easily besting and nearly wiping bulgaria off the map.
blorghised And that’s an exaggeration. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_III Michael the drunkard defeated and converted the Bulgarians to Orthodox. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantine_V Constantine V repeatedly defeated the Bolghars and stomped the Bolghars at en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Anchialus_(763). John Tzimeskes defeated the Rus and Sivatoslav who conquered eastern Bulgaria then paraded the Bulgarian emperor in the streets of Constantinople and took his title away.
It was clearly a long fought series of engagements that often both sides couldn’t fully commit to but unlike Bulgaria the Byyzies bordered the Abbasid and Umayyad Caliphates aka the strongest countries on earth at the time.
Well Byzantium wasn't alone though, they had (everchanging) allies in smaller Slavic states, for example Croatia.
Roman Emperors still had authority and could easily use other nations to help them, as we can see in this video.
@blorghised I have read and listened to podcasts about both the battle of Achelous and Pliska. Which if you have too, you will know that the romans actually won the campaign preceeding pliska, quite handily, and only lost because they did not observe their own standards of warfare and fell into a trap. Winning a battle is one thing, winning a campaign is quite another. One could at best call the battle pliska a pyrhic victory, at worst a stalemate.
Listen I'm not saying that the bulgarians werent formidable warriors, or that their existence for so long neighbouring the greatest superpower of europe at the time, is not impressive. I'm simply stating the fact that whenever the romans werent engaged in multiple fronts, they quite easily beat the bulgarians. Which is only to be expected, the bulgars did not have access to the same advanced institutions that the romans had been building for centuries. The bulgarian state, up until the end, was based on tribal loyalties, and were made up of a patchwork of different ethnicities captured in rival nations.
The bulgarian kings and later tzars were quite aware of this fact, and even after inflicting great losses on the romans, settled for peace or gold in peace talks afterwards. Their conversion to orthodoxy was not forced by the romans, but done so because the tzars realised that the only way to lasting peace with the romans, was to become an ally.
Tervel is the generous grandpa, who always forgives, but knows how to teach lessons to troublesome kids.
Exactly
« Justinian II has again lied!, should we punish him?! »
Tervel: « Nah, il speak to this boy, he is frustrated because we all have our noses and he don’t »
Does it snow there
I absolutely love the recent Bulgarian focused videos. I love my country's history and country but it just doesn't get enough coverage and recognition. Hope you guys make more!!
Thank you for posting medieval battles between Bulgarians and Eastern romans.
im not an expert tho but i always thought that everything between the fall of West Roman Empire and the end of Viking Age is called "Dark Age", and only after the Viking Age ended, i.e. mid 11th century, when King of Norway, Harald Hardrade(a dude that served in the Eastern Roman Varangian Guard, btw), failed to press his claim over Kingdom of England, the Medieval period began.
@@sonyablade3001 I'm fairly confident that the phrase dark ages has gone out of fashion recently due to the fact it only takes into account Western Europe, for example China and the Islamic world are flourishing during this time period so dark ages is fairly innacurate. (Again though also not an expert)
@@sonyablade3001 It's simply not true. When Constantinople was city of 500 000, London was a village. Eastern romans and islamic emirates/khalifates were far superior than western powers at the time. Honestly, the first signifacant western kingdom was the one of Charlemagne, which divided into three states not long after his death. It's sad how neglected some empires are - Eastern roman empire, Abbasid khalifate and many more. "Dark ages" are not really dark. Honestly, in VII-VIII century, Abbasids are so far ahead than western states that it's like you are comparing now USA with Rwanda or something.
Im pretty confident about how prosperous were eastern realms during this period and that "Dark Age" is eurocentric term, but aren't we talking about Europe? :)
@@sonyablade3001 Where do you think battles between Bulgarians and Eastern romans happened?
someone needs to make an AdBlock especially for raid shadow Legends even if it's sponsored for a video.
someone doesnt remember TV
@@delarkaBCN ugh, why would you want to remember tv?
That's already a thing, actually. It's a Chrome/Firefox extension called SponsorBlock.
this comment is sponsored by SponsorBlock: Shadow Legends.
You can try SponsorBlock
Please don't. TH-camrs have to get sponsors because they basically don't get any money from ads. The widespread use of extensions like SponsorBlock would rob them of a major source of income.
Does anyone else “pick a side” at the beginning of these videos?
Yes, I voted for the Byzantines
Bulgars bitches!!!!
@@talridisblagoev242 both armies were Christian, so nothing to do with it. Constantinople fell much later to the Ottomans. The Battle of Vienna saved.Eueope. Read some history
@@michaeldiebold8847 yaaaaa Byzantine Empire for me
Funny fact I usually cheer for the winner , unless they are bad guys.
Mr Khan Tervel seems to deserve his own episode. Great upload thx!
Tervel will aid the Romans when Constantinople was on the siege by Arabs and that changed history. He was canonized as a saint known as St. Trivelius and called The Savior of Europe!
Fun fact : to this day, there is still a Beroia city in nothern Greece and an Anchialos city (Old and New) near Volos
Cool that they have taken on the names, we have teams that wear the name of the old Beroia but I don't remember which city it was now (maybe Stara Zadora).
Ναι , τα ονοματα ιδια ειναι απο τοτε
Beroia in Macedonia (northern Greece) is the original - the one in Thrace (Bulgaria) was named after it.
@@GeoBBB123 Ohhh, ok I guess I didn't really know, thank you.
Anchialos on the Black Sea is a Greek commercial settlement with the right to trade with the local Thracians. I guess the merchants there came from a Greek city of the same name - a very common practice (see New Carthage, New York, etc.).
Me: I have things I need to do today...

@@vivek-zo2yy ughhh, you broke the pattern...
Byzantines: Ya know we are actually doing fine and making a comeback...
Bulgarians: Hold my calvary.
Well without the Bulgarian cavalry there might not have actually been a Byzantium to be attempting a comeback like the card says at 10:54
Leontios: "Got your nose !"
Got your wallet (treasury) hehehe 🤣
Thank you for consistently posting high quality videos
He wore a solid gold replica of his nose ala Tim Strawn in "Cat Ballou", although Tims' was silver. (Tim Strawn was played by Lee Marvin.)
The real reason khan tervel won is because he installed raid shadow legends before the battle
It is a wonder how the Byzantines managed to survive for so long, when very engagement you hear of is either an absurd defeat or a colossal self inflicted failure.
I really love the fact that you take the time to cover the Eastern Roman Empire which is so unfairly neglected considering it's immense role in Christianity and Europe as a whole being it's eastern shield from the advancing Arabs
Justinian II is not related to Justinian I, not even the same dynasty (nearly 150 years between the two).
@@PadishahAnshan 10:35 so when he says predecessor he means by the name or because of the title i thought he was he's grandson or something
Ηλίας Ντέλλας come on man use some common sense how could Justinian II of the Heraclius Dynasty 100 years later be the son Of Justinian who had no kids. I recommend reading up on the Emperors after Justinian I
@@tylerellis9097 to be honest my knowledge is VERY limited in the middle ages i didn't even know Justinian hadn't any kids you are right i need to do some more history regarding the Eastern Romans
@@Dourios_96 He means by holding the imperial title: Augustus or Trajan or any emperor before the reign of Justinian II is a "predecessor".
1. As a Bulgarian I LOVE your videos about Bulgarian history, as you are the only ones that cover it.
2. The name of the Khan is Tervel, but the stress is on the first "e". If you need help with the pronunciation of Bulgarian names (as I hope you will cover the battle of Pliska (811) at the least), you can just PM me here, and I will reply with the transcriptions of the names.
Aristocracy: "I hope cutting off his nose made Justinian a more lenient ruler"
**Justinian becomes even more brutal in his methods**
Aristocracy: [surprised Pikachu]
Pinocchio Mode!
I was just about to rewatch some of your videos lol
this timing couldn't be more perfect hehe
Moral of the story: Don't betray your allies
Seems like the moral is don't be authoritarian. That's what ended up killing him...
think the better moral of story is don't fight the guy(military genius) that never lost a war or even one battle :D(the moral Leo 3 used afther 718). Tervel teaches that moral to the Khazars around 700. and then justinian here 708. and last and best :) the Maslama in 717-718.
Ive watched and enjoyed all your videos now but I've never said how much i appreciate your channel it seriously is really fun and interesting to watch, thank you
Can you do more Bulgarian history videos?
th-cam.com/video/HbxH4pthufk/w-d-xo.html
I never get how the Byzantine are always so ignorant despite getting beaten so much.
Not ignorant. Perfidious. Resentment and distrust of those who suffer perfidy are built up and up and are then sometimes vengefully released.
A cause is created that is sometimes hard to beat because it is coming from the moral high ground.. "The morale of the troops is high, my king!" "Good, let's go kick they perfidous as_ses"
Emperor Reinhard von Lohengramm Because they won just as much but those videos aren’t popular and the Byzantines for some reason only described most of there defeats in detail not the victories. Just wait for Leo and Konstantinos Isaurian
Nice video. Love from greece.
Best comment.
Thanks for uploading this just as I get off work. What a treat for a Friday
Because I'm Bulgarian I always love it when you show some of our battles. As much as most people in my nation hate the country and how it's led we're still really proud of our history
As a Bulgarian I second this.
I feel real sadness when I look at the current state of a country with such rich and glorious history and culture. I personally love it when Bulgarian history gets the recognition and coverage it really deserve!
What's wrong with current bulgaria?
@@hazzmati mostly corruption, strong brain drain and useless politicians
@@hazzmati I can't really see the country even existing in 100 years. I'm 16 and most people my age just want to learn a western language, finish their education and just flee west (that leads to the brain drain) and the situation doesn't seem to be improving
That is sad to hear. This is happening in many eastern european countries I hope it will get better soon
Love your videos! I'm always in pain when I see romans loosing a battle, but I learn about new battles almost every time I watch at your videos!
Well done from Italy! :)
I also hate romans losing
Chersonesus, the city in the Crimean peninsula where Justinian was exiled after being overthrown, was sacked by the Mongols in 1299. Abandoned about 100 years later, it’s now a preserved archeological site within a suburb of modern day Sevastopol.
I see bazbattles new video, i first press like, than get some snacks and drinks.
I don't think that is what your supposed to do
Got your priorities straight
Great video - thank you! I just want to add a bit of info to it.
As pointed out -- correctly -- in one of the notes in the closing, Tervel the first non-Roman ever to be given the highly prestigious title "CAESAR". This title was second only to "BASILEUS", which was of course reserved only for the Christian emperors. To the Bulgars and Slavs the word was foreign; they pronounced it "khessar", placing the emphasis on the second syllable (khe-SSAR). It didn't take long after that for the first syllable to be dropped altogether, resulting in the word "TSAR" (Cyrillic: ЦАР), meaning "King". Today the word is usually transcribed either as "Tsar" or as "Tzar". However, my point is that Tervel was the first Tzar ever, the original -- long before the title was adopted by the Russian state.
Tsar actually means Emperor and not King
Thank you for another wonderful video!
I like how you start all your videos... Nice work.
Ah yes, Byazantium shooting itself in the foot with one civil war after the other.
Ah, my favorite history TH-camr is back with another video!
It would be great if kings and generals, historymarche and bazbattles would make epic video about ottoman conquests of arabia and egypt. Love your voiceover.
Great idea!
Thank you so much for another amazing video!
I'd love to see your take on the 7 days battle.
I literally wanted to see some of ur old video and such a present
there is so many incredible unknown stories like this throughout history
Got home from a long day, sat down with food, see a bazbattles vid, made my day
Just a quick note Phanagoria was the capital of Old Great Bulgaria. Which collapsed under the pressure from Khazars and 4 of 5 Kubrat's (the ruler and byzantine ally) sons leave the country, everyone with Bulgarians under his command and they found Danube Bulgaria - Asparuh, Volga Bulgaria - Kotrag, Kuber with his men settled in present north Macedonia, Alcek went in Italy and the biggest brother Bat Baqn (literally big brother Baqn/Boqn) remains in Phanagoria and covered their retreat and latter became Khazars vassal. Long time Old Great Bulgaria was an ally to the byzantine empire due to the friendship between the Bulgarian ruler and Byzantine emperor (Flavius Heraclius Augustus also Kwon as Heraclius I)which gave him the title of patrician. Both countries were beneficial as Bulgarians were guarding the north so Romans can focus their efforts on other areas. Some sources claim that Bulgarians come in imperial lands which were given to them because they were considered trusted ally's but the next emperors probably regret that decisions and the clash were inevitable.
thank you for what you do
Once again great video! I like the amount of research that goes into your work. Would you consider doing the battles of the fourth crusade i.e. rise and fall of the Latin empire?
Raid ads wont stop me from watching bazbattles
Do more videos about Bulgaria please, u got me as a subscriber
Thanks !!
so much of history inspired simplified stories used in narratives of simba, and tyrion, and helmsdeep
Woot! Love the videos .... As always would love a BTS video
I love this series. I'd love to see some more modern stuff, though. I was fascinated by Battleship Bismark mini-series, for instance.
What about Gettysburg? Or Yorktown? Or the fall of Washington in the war of 1812? The last 2 centuries have plenty of cool (if bloody) battles that would be fascinating to dissect, and likely have ample primary sources available. The US civil war alone could fill several months. :-)
Don't mind me, just commenting to appease the algorithm.
The hero we deserve!
ALL HAIL THE ALGORITHM !!! SING ITS PRASES !!!!
amazing vid as always BazBattles!! Just sooo short! Just getting into it and then its over :(
You are the best history chanel !!!!
This is better than game of thrones, guy gets his nose cuts off is exiled and than seeks revenge, fights his former ally
History often is
"THE BATTLE... WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN!" - I Fr/&¤/king love your videos
justinian must have been one charismatic bastard too get help from a enemy TWICE
With choped nose :D
well ho else was gonna help him ?:D Tervel was the only one that botthered with justinian. even Krubes bulgairnas dident trust and wanted justinian dead :D. its its carved in the Madara Rider in the town madara.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madara_Rider . its writen there(by tervel)-Моите чичовци в солунско не вярвай на императора с отрязания нос = My uncles in Thessaloniki do not trust the emperor with a cut off nose. just in case you dont know at the meeting with justin and tervel there probably was a delegation of Kuber bulgarians who listened to justion proposal but obv call bullshit sense they hated him sense they unlike tervel were at war with the him ;D.
o Kurber bulgarians are the bulgarians of Asparush brother(Kuber that is why there called that way and why Tervel calls them my uncles sense they were bulgairans of his uncle Kuber o and Tervel is the son of Asparush)
I could see it being more that Tervel knew "helping" was a good way to make gains from the large, wealthy, empire; no one pays better than the rich and desperate lol
The battle is about to begin 💪
I wish I had a calendar that would read my schedule in the way bazbattles videos begin :
"It's a calm sunday afternoon in the end of winter 2019, John was getting ready to lay back in front of his PC and smoke a joint while binging Baz Battles youtube videos, and every thing seemed like it was going according to the plan"
I find your channel quite interesting...you always do a great research about battles. I request you to make videos on Indian battles like The Third battle of Panipat.
Another Byzantine stupid defeat, what a surprise?!
And to think that with all of these defeats,they still managed to live for a millennium.
As a Greek I can verify it's a tradition
R838 Rigjt it’s got damn cringe there is a shitload of Byzantine victories no one posts and its bull shit.
Byzantium was like Rome's retarded younger brother
yea this one shoud be in a top 10 :D.

christ how many more eastern roman crushing defeats do we have to sit through x|
A lot.
@@FirefoxisredExplorerisblueGoog just 800 more years of them till they're finally put out of their misery
Michael A lot cause it isn’t popular to show their victories. I’ll probably die before a video on Konstantinos Isaurios who smashed the Bolghars and Arabs will be posted.
Every empire has its defeat doesn't mean they're doing miserable. Byzantine empire really went down the shitter after 1204
Hazzmati the Empire Literally died in 1204 Lol. And I’d say Nicaea was doing good until the Palaiologos got on the throne.
Love bazz battles
I love Byzantine history aka the east Roman empire. Thanks a lot for making this video.
Raid: shadow legends, raiding youtube videos since 2020
hey you wanna play a mobile title?!
no i actuality like games, i dont hate myself. fuckin casuals!
Kyber Cat I think you forget what games are intended to be in the first place. They’re merely our escape from the mundane and bad parts of our everyday life, not as an obsession. To insult casual players and mobile game players for just finding a nice distraction from everyday life is not only rude, but also clearly betraying the principles of which the gaming industry was built on, from the pioneers of video games decades ago until the present day.
What an absolute lad.
I am simple man- I see baz video, i hit the like button
this channel is great
Fantastic video and a bday one to boot :)
This shows the importance of information
Tervel deserves a movie. He was the first slavic saint, he was the first Tzar, he smashed the east romans and the arabs. Bad ass all the way
Hooray, bazbattles fix. nom nom nom
Tervel-“What a bold ungrateful bastard” 😁👍
You should do a video on the 1453 seige of constantinople I really enjoy your videos and think you would do a very good job explaining it.
i love your videos. are there going to be anymore of the game of thrones ones or is it all over? thanks for the great vids again bazbatteles.
I was going to take a nap... but I have to watch this first!
Excellent
Baz battles rules. There are others, but no one does it like Baz. I am always amazed at how two faced and nasty these so called leaders are. Gets help, then declares war? Low life. Thanks for the episode
Seems like karma for Justinian turning on Tervel! Another great video, thanks BazBattles!
P.S. are there any more battles from the Sengoku Jidai you could cover?
