Historical Deep Dive into Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

[@solicitr666]

At this early date, siege cannons were really only found in royal armies, because the guns and especially the engineers who operated them were very expensive and generally only kings (or monarchical dukes like those of Burgundy) could afford them. Traditional mechanical siege engines were still standard for smaller armies.

[@EternalCrusader-it1jn]

yeah, probably right there. Which i found it logical that smaller armies still used those

The kuttenberg was inhabited by germans mostly with around 30% Czechs who migrated there during 14th century from Čáslav etc as miner's (incident of jan Chodek etc), the czech majority became during and after Hussite wars. Where Hussites subjugate the pro catholics.

Didnt know that, thank you

[@holextv5595]

@@EternalCrusader-it1jn no problem, I know it's wierd because kuttenberg was inside Czech speaking heartland but , due to the 13th century mines it was primarily inhabited by German miner's, Czech one's goes there later mentioned 14/15th century.

@@holextv5595 Okay, may have to look it up again and dig deeper next time. Bohemia is such an interesting place, culturally and historically.

I think, and Russian sources say the same thing, that the Cumans were Cossacks and not Turks or a Turkic people. The Russians called them Polovtsians. This would be indicated by the fact that they were described as blonde-haired and blue-eyed. The Chinese described them as Europoid. Both the Cossacks and the Russians used composite bows in the Middle Ages.

[@EternalCrusader-it1jn]

Good point, thank you for the additional information.

[@MatejSunavec]

Both Russian and Western sources say that these people either called Polovtsy or Cumans were Turkic speaking nomads.

[@1frank100]

@@MatejSunavec They could be wrong.

[@1frank100]

@@MatejSunavec They could be wrong. Turkic nomadic peoples are slant-eyed and not fair-haired and blue-eyed. They are not Europoid in appearance. The Turks of Anatolia are the turkisized assimilated Assyrians, Greeks, Armenians, and other European nations.

Heart of europe

[@EternalCrusader-it1jn]

No. I think you misheard. I said it was the Heart of Europe and a very important region inside the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, which Bohemia was part of
