As a romanian I am proud of this video ! Vald was a cruel but a fair ruler. He had the balls to stand up to the ottoman witch means Massive balls 😂😂 They sais that during hus reign you could leave a bag full of gold in the market square, come back 3 days later and you will find it in the same place 🤣🤣🤣🤣 cause nobody dared to do shit cause they knew the punnishment. You did agood job with this video bro ! Proud of you 😊 !

[@orlandolzr]

A facut o pula.... a incurcat o gramada de lucruri, n-a pus in evidenta geniul strategic al lui Vlad... chiar slab...si tu il mai si lauzi...

[@Briefed_Mythology]

means a lot coming from a Romanian, thank you for the high praise. much appreciated

[@Auron1Roxas2]

Killing people for being poor or having an affair doesn't make you a fair ruler, just another kind of monster.

[@alinvid6098]

@Auron1Roxas2 you don't know what you are talking about dude... the killing people for having an afair part is not true... there was a lot of false propaganda made by his enemies that made him out to be far worse than he was however most things Briefed said were true. Where are tou from dude ? Are you truly safe where you are ? Somebody could attack you rob you kill you but during Vlad's time people were afraid to steal, were afraid to rape were afraid to kill even if some of them were psychopaths and would not feel sorry for their victims theu would fear the punishment and impalement was just for the worst... for killers... it was just. It was just if somebody killed your relative they would be impaled... it was a death for a death. Vlad a monster ? No. He was a great ruler a ruler who had the balls yo stand up to the Ottoman empire and fought for his pepople until he died. That is LITERALLY what a hero is. Did you watch the whole video and listen to hkw he stood up to them or are you just browsing the comment section looking to contradict someone ? And don't tell me what he is and what he wasn't... it was my people and ancestors that were under his rule and if you ask almost everybody hear they say it must have beenmuch better back then ( even if this is just an opinion we can still compare ) than now with all of our corrupt politicians sucking the countru dry !

Vlad learned impaling from the ottoman s

[@brianfondofbbq]

My father’s side of the family is Serbian I grew up being told that we had an ancestor that fought in his army against the Turks. Evil? Yes but really kind of par for the course in that time and place. Great video as always. I talk history to my daughters all of the time and my 9yo asked me about Dracula and that girl LOVES your videos. She’s burned through a lot you’re a great storyteller. Keep it up.

[@stefandobre5112]

as a romanian i'm very happy that you made a video about our history. i would suggest that you should make a video about stephen the great

[@tonyjones1560]

Cool! I've been looking forward to your "take" on this guy. I've been fascinated by him ever since I found out there really was a Dracula in middle school. That's been a long time, I'm 62. Thank you!

[@Briefed_Mythology]

I'm proud to still ignite a fire in that long time fascination

[@tonyjones1560]

@ It was an outstanding presentation! You definitely have a way of describing some really grim dudes. Vlad was probably not insane in the clinical sense but he was definitely the hard product of some hard times…and by some accounts, his brutality may have single handedly stopped the spread of Islam into Eastern Europe. Mehmet was not squeamish by any means but the sight of 20,000 of his men on stakes left an impression on him that might have lasted the rest of his life. Thanks again for this great video!

[@chadfalardeau5396]

Personally I think Vlad was a badass who defended his country the best he could. Maybe he was gruesome but no more than many other rulers of his time.

[@CintiaFreire-l6n]

Wowww que historia… no la conocía y me atrapó por completo!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@23sergione]

In Romania Vlad the Impaler is considered a hero even though we shiver at his cruelty as well. But looking at things from a historical perspective, he took drastic measures to fight a very powerful enemy, the Ottoman Empire and he refused to bow down and renounce the Christian faith. Betrayal by local nobility was always a recurring theme and many of our heroes died by being betrayed and assassinated by the said nobility at the behest of outside powers. They were cruel to the peasants they were leading and many of them were cowards and traitors, choosing to sell out their own country just to keep their power. That is why nobody here sheds any tears for them that they were impaled by Vlad. He did not play the classic political game, he fought evil with evil. As you mentioned he also made reforms by drastically punishing immoral behaviour, thieves being especially targeted. It is said that at public wells they would leave a gold chalice for people to drink water with and nobody would dare steal it. An interesting fact you left out. When he attacked the Ottoman camp, he and his men were disguised in Ottoman clothes which caused a huge confusion in the Ottoman ranks. The attack was brief, the Valachians retreated and the Ottomans kept fighting each others for hours before realising what happened. Great video as always, thank you for your hard work and amazing delivery!

[@chadroberts6344]

Best bday gift ever. I been waiting on the video. Appreciate all the hard work

Beautiful feature! Love all the infos I did not get from school!

[@nebulanigrimleonis3883]

So good, I had to watch again! Will you cover Mehmet Mehmed, Ottoman Emperor also? and thank you for allowing this video to be as long as it needed to be. Some creators think viewers have sort attention spans. WE DONT. People that love history, have long attention spans. We want every detail, and you grant us with that. You are truly my favorite creator. I personally think Vlad was one of the BADDEST MoFo's of all time. Its a shame that his incredible life was turned into vampires and garlic.

[@Candyohh]

I have to reread dracula now. Near the start he tells his backstory and talking about taking on the ottomans, but I had no idea it was based on a real person.

[@BimRen246]

[@Auron1Roxas2]

I think Radu was actually called Radu the Handsome and was the gay lover of the Ottomon sultan Mehmed ll.

[@Briefed_Mythology]

oh yea, my nickname was definitely just me poking fun at him. he was known as radu the handsome and it is rumored he was a lover, but I didn't want to include that because it's not confirmed, so to throw more shade on radu I juste went with my nickname haha

[@ynnosredd3190]

when I was in high school, we had a friend named Vlad. a tall and pale guy with redish brown hair, a cool dude. we used to smoke cigars and weed in the woods not far from the campus. he was the guy who often had sachet of good stuff with him and he was also the one who smoked a lot of weed, that's why we called him Vlad The Inhaler. not long after he was known by that moniker by the whole campus and it made him famous to other people as well.

[@KattMurr]

I leaened of Vlad the Impaler via a song. Properly called "Vlad the Impaler" by the band GWAR...😊

[@ericwhite1942]

Yeah, he did so pretty evil stuff, but you have to look at things from a historical view. He grew up in a time when cruelty and violence were par the course. Not to mention that his childhood.....wasn't great to say the least

[@3am_vdb]

Great one as usual.

[@jjakfamily]

[@rachelburnell9532]

[@nathansteinfromarkham7109]

He actually had a contemporary among the Albanians who was just as brutal him, but the Ottomans or Turks actually had some respect for him. To the point that they held onto some of his bones because they were holding he would rub off on him or something like that.

[@courteybee5395]

The Netflix show “Rise of Empires Ottoman” is about Mehmed II, and the second season is “Mehmed v. Vlad” and is about this. It is really good, but it is definitely sided on the side of the Ottomans and making Vlad the antagonist. Still 100% recommended. Also Briefed, what is your accent? I have been trying to figure it out forever, but I can’t tell! 😊

[@DanielOkeke-z1h]

Bro pls do a video on Igbo mythology like western African Igbo myths are really underrated 😢😢

Love this video bro but i actually have a challenge for you. I know you usually make videos on real gods and such but i would love to see you make a video on elder scrolls gods or daedra❤

[@vericaz3894]

❤ he didn't kill innocent people he killed Invaders the Ottomans who invaded the majority of Europe and slaughtered everyone including children okay let's get that straight and draku means the dragon has nothing to do with vampires by the way❤

[@Azathoth-0]

Apart from the cringy surfshark ad plug this video is perfect! The art matches the story and it's tone perfectly(unlike the Hinduism video, which, don't get me wrong it was good just this is better!) This video apart from the above mentioned ad plug is flawless!

[@inakis10]

I know the video’s about Vlad and he’s HIM. But John Hunyadi is a g too, you should do a video on him. Dude was unrivalled as a knight and strategist back then

[@Ddawg2000]

You should alos make a video about Stephen the Great. He was an even greater general and leader than Vlad 🙂 We romanians consider him like the greatest Romanian hero. He did the most damage to the Ottomans.

Such an anti-climactic ending for one of history's greatest Dawgs. I personally think his own people had him killed to stop any future wars.

[@Briefed_Mythology]

to be honest, that's a fairly good guess. at this point they were almost wiped out and getting rid of vlad would solve the issue of constant danger

So, Vlad, being not only well educated, but well treated too, decided, unlike his brother who chose peaceful relations with the Turks, to go on a sadistic murder spree against the Muslims and his kingdom that ultimately ended with the destruction of Walachia. Yes, he was truly, "That guy". 🙄
