@@Daniel-jm7ts You forgot to mention Italy, the north of which was ruled by Otto and his successors for quite a while. The Emperors of the Hohenstauffen dynasty even were Kings of Sicily, ie Southern italy. Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia, later all ruled by Habsburgs who happened to be HREmperors. More importantly, in medieval and early modern times, all history is connected to the HRE Emperors, one way or other. Ever heard of the 3rd crusade? Led by Emperor Barbarossa - with King Richard "Lionheart" and the French King BOTH officially submitting under his command. Until he drowned in a stupid river, releasing them from their oaths (which in turn caused Richard some trouble returning, needing ransom money to get out of prison, leading to the whole Robin Hood story) ... That crusade had a big impact on the balkans, given that the main German army marched down the Danube, and the brother of the Hungarian king joined in. As had Ottos later successors when fighting and stopping the Ottomans. Teutonic knights (in general, not just the order as such) were a major force in the Iberian Reconcista and christianized / conquered most of the Baltics. The Fugger became rich as the bankers of the Habsburg Emperors - and then also financed much of the Spanish and Portuguese ventures into the new world when Charles V was both Emperor of the HRE and King of Spain and Portugal. Like Magellans first trip aroung the world. And provided the copper the Portuguese trading empire in Africa and Asia was based on. None of this would have happened without Otto I.

[@TheLocalLt]

larrywave this is true but he was of a different house, Charlemagne being an old frank, Otto being a Saxon. His father Henry was the first king of Germany, he was given the east frankish kingdom by the king as he died, however it became Germany at that point because the saxons were now in control. This also separated forever the legacies of Germany and France/West Francia. So although they were technically related, Otto brought a much more German element to his empire. Remember the Saxons were among the last people converted to Christianity by Charlemagne’s Frankish-Roman Empire, now 150 years later a Saxon himself won a new German-Roman Empire. Quite a development. Otto’s state would continue in numerous configurations for a thousand years

Otto the First and Otto von Bismarck (the latter was born near the grave of the former in Magdeburg) were quite similar in the fact that they were imposing people of extraordinary ability, respected and feared but not really loved (except by a few; luckily, their over-the-top harshness was complemented by the presence of people who were either more pleasant, or more PR-savvy), although in private life, both seemed to be devoted towards their women (Both also had mother problems - one of Otto's first acts as emperor was banishing his mother Matilda of Ringelheim who favoured his younger brother Heinrich over him, and Bismarck hated his "cold and unloving" mother as a child. The women they met later - Eadgyth and Adelheid in the case of Otto, and Marie von Thadden and Johanna in the case of Bismarck - seemed to to give them the "anchor" that they needed). Friedrich Barbarossa, for example, probably suffered more defeats/setbacks than Otto, but was a man both respected and loved, and thus is better remembered today (also because his Swabia, as well as Southern Germany in general, is a rich and strong region today, while the Saxon area does not fare as well - although this is improving)

[@nifrain9494]

Why is the former saxon region not doing well? Don't confuse saxony with the modern state saxony. The saxon heartland was what today is part of NRW and lower saxony and the northern coastlands. It is only that the saxon family name shifted eastwards to areas formerly slavic

quite a few opinions and interpretations in here that have been stated as if they are hard facts. Because the Magyars where a confederation of nomadic tribes they never had what we would call a homeland. Rather they had an area of control that had been moving south and west for centuries. The Magyar campaigns in 954 and 955 where at the invitation of or encouragement from several German princes. It was not nation on nation warfare. Only 3 or 4 of the Magyar tribes took part and Otto did not have the German nation behind him. Otto spent most of his reign fighting his own people. Perhaps the epithet "the suppressor" would be more accurate. Calling the Elbe river the historic border between Slav and German people probably caused a few people to unsubscribe. Projecting the modern idea of borders back to a time like this is misleading. This description of the battle is mostly fiction (BazBattles has a much better video). We don't know the numbers involved. We do know that the Magyars rarely fielded more than 10,000 men and, using the list of German princes, Otto had 7,000-9,000. The idea that the Magyars didn't have time to launch a 2nd volley of arrows is just stupid. The key to Otto's victory was having well disciplined troops. The Magyars relied on being able to fight and retreat at will. In this battle they where forced to fight and couldn't retreat. It might be easier to tell history as a series of events but it could never cover the beautiful, intricate complexity of what really happened. History is more like continuous threads that both mix and diverge.

[@Rabauke84]

There are some mistakes in your comment. It is uncertain if the Magyars were invited or not. They had send some "diplomats" before to look at the situation in south germany. The war torn part of the country would have been an easy target for plundering, like the Magyars did prior in other regions of europe. So we don't know for sure, if they came as aid for the south german leaders or for raiding the easy peasy lemon squeezy part of germany. Otto had to put down any opposers and threads to his throne from the inside and outside of his claim, like any king or duke of his time. The Holy Roman Empire didn't just include Germany, but also Burgundy, Bohemia and Italy. And in all of these regions, wars for power were a common thing. For example, he claimed the italian crown by marrying the italian queen. Which was seen as a thread by his son of a prior wife, because she could give birth to a new heir -> so war it is! Calling him a "suppressor" because he had fought his own people is just exaggerating. And the numbers, we know for sure that Otto had 8 legions by a report of Widukind of Corvey, who also wrote down, that one bohemian Legion equals 1,000 men. He also explained that the people of Augsburg prepared for another siege, when thousands of magyars were riding to the city, after the battle took place. When they saw that they just were riding by, they realised that they were fleeing from the battle. So, we know on one hand that the battle was a decisive victory for Otto and on the other, that the amount of magyars fleeing was still great enough to be feared. According to the people of Augsburg, it were like 20,000 fleeing riders. But I think this is way too much. So while this number can't be validated, I don't think that they had like 10,000 men. This amount of men wouldn't be enough, especially after a decisive loss and heavy casualties, that could still be seen as a threat, so it must be more.

[@andrewmonos4951]

@@Rabauke84 You're right, I shouldn't have used the word invited, a more accurate word would be encouraged. Magyars took the disunity in German lands as an opportunity for raiding. Epithets are always an exaggeration. Summing up a persons life in 1 word or a statement is never accurate. The epitaph "suppressor" is fitting because he spent most of his reign suppressing 1 rebellion after another. "peace maker" could be a positive epithet that says the same thing. As for numbers; we know the numbers reported in 1st hand accounts where little more than propaganda. We also know that in the middle ages fielding an army of 10k was only possible in ideal conditions. Nomadic people could mobilise more than that in a migratory confederation. The raid that led to this battle only involved the western tribes of the Magyar confederation. With the Magyars advantage in mobility they had no reason to engage an numerically superior enemy, so we know that they had more than Otto's 7 to 9k. Suggesting a Magyar force much more than 10k requires proof that this was an exception to what we know of medieval warfare and Magyars history. A Magyar force of 5k was enough to successfully campaign through northern Italy so the people of Augsburg could be justified in fearing much less than 10k

Clues there are that they speak the language they have already found there.

Well there is a dispute amongst historians over whether Charlemange the Frank was the founder of the HRE or Otto was the founder. Back in those times, the "Empire" was a patchwork of tribal dynasties that had not yet found any legit claim to the land they occupied.

I am sorry to say this is *the* worst video I have seen on the Magyars in the 10th C. I am Hungarian and have been studying this period for some 40 years. Let's look at the most egregious errors: 00:12 'Spent centuries moving West.' Wrong. Archaeological research shows they spent one generation moving to Etelköz, then on to the Carpathian Basin. 00:35. "Pecheneg attack" made them move. This whole source (Byzantine Emperor Constantive Porphyrogenitus) is very questionable. There seems to have been some raid, but nothing serious. 00:42 The Magyars "launched devastating raids". What? Just like that? They occupied Hungary in alliance with the Holy Roman Emperor Arnulf of Carinthia. They defeated Berengar of Ivrea in 899, using, note, in alliance with Arnulf! They had 5000 men against Berengar's 15,000. When Arnulf died in 899 and the Hungarian envoys sent to continue the peace were arrested, THAT caused the war. There were border fights with the Bavarians (Austria hadn't been invented yet) and so in 907, the Germans decided to re-occupy Pannonia, Western Hungary. At Pressburg in 907, all the leaders of Bavaria were killed in an open battle which lasted three days. I note you carefully avoid mentioning that. Why? This was followed by punitive military campaigns (not raids!) In 908, the Magyars brought the Thüringians to battle at Eisanach, on August 3, 908, in which the Duke of Thüringia was killed. In 909, they destroyed Fresing but suffered a minor reverse at the hands of Arnulf the Bad, who had re-built part of the Bavarian army. He later allied himself with the Magyars. In 910, Louis the Child raised the entire East Frankish feudal levy in order to invade Hungary. The Magyars destroyed his army at the Lechfeld (same place) on June 12. All the Magyar attacks were done with careful planning and diplomatic preparation. They always attacked whoever was weaker, so they could not repeat Charlemagne's genocidal campaign against the Avars in the early 9th C. Another error: 2:14, the Battle of Merseburg in 933. This was no "decisive defeat" as the above mentioned Magyar victories were. One part of the Magyar army suffered a reverse, and withdrew in good order. The rest of the army was fine. Why did you not mention all of the above to give your viewers a more balanced view? Lechfeld 955 was indeed a big defeat of the Magyars, but it did not prevent further wars or attacks from Hungary, as you claim. In 961, the Pope asked for Magyar protection. As to the "huge Magyar army", the only datum we have on their numbers are mentioned above about the Italian Campaign from Regino, the Abott of Prüm. But I have a question for you and your followers: If Otto's victory was so complete, and you showed yourself he was an ambitious king, why did he not invade Hungary, conquer it and have the glory of converting the Magyars (many of whom had converted to Christianity long before, but not all)? Well, I'm interested in your answer.

[@HistoryUncovered]

1. From the ~5th Century they moved from the Urals to modern day Ukraine in the 9th Century. That's centuries, not a generation. Are you misunderstanding what I stated? 2. Numerous sources mention the Pechenegs forcing the Magyars further west. 3. You are denying the Magyars launched "devastating raids" on Western Europe? That is pretty common knowledge and historical fact.

[@woff1959]

1. I am relying on the most recent historical and archaeological sources published by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. They state that new information proves the move was no more than 40-60 years. We do not have any material showing where the Magyars were in the 5th C. I would suggest you keep up with existing research. 2. "Numerous sources" are Constantine, who I mentioned, and one source in the West. That's far from 'numerous.' This has been very problematic and the majority of Hungarian scholars has dropped this as a reason. Constantine claimed that the Pechenegs had killed all the Hungarian women, but the graveyards show a full population, not lacking women at all. So that, among other things, has brought his works into question. Again, you are about 100 years behind the research. 3. I am saying these were not -- emphatically NOT 'raids'. They were military campaigns. Clearly, when the HRE invaded Moravia, or Hungary or anywhere else, that was 'devastating'. But the Magyar Campaigns were not more devastating than the murderous campaigns of say, Charlemagne. I would suggest get yourself updated information and re-do the video, correctly this time. It isn't fair to your viewers to 'teach' them material that has long been rejected by scholars.

[@HistoryUncovered]

I get my information straight out of published books on Medieval and Military history. You seem to only mention Hungarian sources for you information. If you want to talk about biases I think you might fall under the same category.

Also, recent genetic discoveries are very interesting (available in English). With a few exceptions, the English-language material is generally very far behind. I am sure you do get your material from published books, that's the trouble. Rather go for scholarly articles. As for looking at Hungarian material, you must realise that the Hungarian academics are afraid of being seen as 'nationalists', so if anything, they minimise the achievements of the Magyars. If they have a bias, it's more against themselves. That IS weird, but that's how it is. But then again, if I was to study the American Civil War, wouldn't I look at American authors?

This is so inaccurate in so many level that it is not funny. 50 000 Hungarian army, more like 5 000 strong raiding party. But to make the victory more significant than what it was the Germans had to exaggerate the size of the Hungarian army. The whole Hungarian army was no more the 50 000 strong. Out of that at any given time not more than 10% would go on a campaign. Usually this involve the tribes close to the western borders. Tribes form Transylvania would never go campaigning in Germany, their target were Byzantium and Russ. The rest of the troops were guarding the Hungarian borders. Make sense right? If a 50 000 strong Hungarian army would attack Germany that would not have been called a campaign that would be called an occupation force. Like when the German tried to attack Hungary at Pressburg in 907ad. were 3 German armies - some 60 000 strong - were annihilated in a single day by some 20 0000 Hungarian horseman.

"forcing" is a bit a strong word. the carpathian basin was where the capital of attila was located, and the hungarian nobility claimed descendance from attila himself. the latest genetic studies support this claim. chances are they wanted to conquer attila's lost empire are high. the pechenegs attacked the hungarian camps when their armies were on a campaign to the west, therefore the camps were left with insufficient guards to resist the full might of the pechenegs. so under the pressure they moved their camps west over the mountains to close the gap between the offensive armies and the rear guard, and events turned out in a way so they rather stood in the basin than to go all the way back to etelköz.

About 250 years ago. There are 1500 words in Turkish which are supposed to be the same. Although we don't understand Turkish either. The Hungarians are descendants of Skyta. The Skyta people are the oldest people in the world with a history of thousands of years. Although this is only lied to for 200-300 years .... Sumerian writings can also be deciphered with the help of the Hungarian language. There are studies that include Egyptian hiresogriphs as well. Why is that? Because Hungarian has preserved most of the native language spoken on earth. We also understand the Hungarian speech spoken up to 1000 years ago by our ancestors. This can be said in English, French, etc. languages? For centuries, the struggle for dominance over the Carpathian Basin was stifled by the struggle between the West and the indigenous Skyta peoples. The Hungarians invaded the Carpathian Basin in 895. In 907, the united army of the West attacked the areas inhabited by the Hungarians, with the aim of exterminating the Hungarians in full. Battle of Pőzsony (Pressburg). kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp-ld4lrgsyGiZY Yet the Hungarian army won against a huge force. One of the goals of the subsequent Western campaigns was to secure the Hungarian territories against the Western invasion. Usually in alliance with one of the western rulers. As far as I know, the battle of the Lech field was lost because the quarrels with each other secretly reconciled and enslaved the Hungarian army. About 5,000 people laid down their guns. Leaders and soldiers were hanged after laying down their arms. (this was not a custom at the time, especially for leaders) Another Hungarian army was stationed nearby to take bloody revenge for the executions, but this is not very often mentioned by Western historians. Glory to Otto I! :-)) Of course, I do not guarantee this, because historians are lying back together. In any case, after the lost Lech field battle, Hungary was not attacked from the west or for 70 years. Unfortunately, Christianity did not bring any luck to the Hungarian nationality. Our culture has been almost destroyed, our traditions have been almost destroyed, our true history hidden. 1000 years of repression. Hungarians still live in Hungary as second-class citizens.

He sad, that in Gesta Hungarorum, are evidences for a treason against Bulcsú. I do not know exactly wich is true from tis, and wich is false. But one thing is clear. The hungarian horse army in this period was like none other in Europe. The western regions of Europe, could not fought against they effectivly for a long time. In the X.th century the hungarians fought in 46-47 campaings against Europe. From these, only two was ended with defeat for they. For this I simply can not believe that the european armies could all at once defeat the magyars, when they (hungarians), had much more succes agains the european armies.

Yeah, Despite Germans tried hard, we Bohemians never were part of Germany and will never be :-). We were always independent. The Boleslav I. the Cruel of Bohemia (Bohemia, Moravia) have gave 1000 heavy horse to Otto. The men all died. Yet we finaly stopped those raiding bastards :-D .

@@chriswanger284 Lol apparently you know nothing about toppic you wish to press. You try hard yet you are very ignorant ;-). We had gathering of nobles since mid 13th century you fool ;-). Nobility has made it on Přemysl Otakar II. who led 2 crusades on his own, aspired on imperial crown and for quite time ruled over Austria and part of Hungary. Besides the gathering of nobles was present as election of each duke and later king sinc early dark ages, where laws were passed. Golden Bulla of Sicily 1212 confirmed by HRE states our independence, just as Friedrich I. Barbarossa acknowledged it much earlier despire his later efforts. Same happened in 1348 with Golden Bulla of Emperor Charles IV. who in his Vita Caroli, identified him self as Czech by blood from his Přemyslid mother and primarily Czech king ;-). Germies hated him for that. And we made sure that "Compactata" we forced upon pope and Catholic church assured our religious and traditional rights. Habsburks accepted it and later didnt hold on to it. We rebelled then. We were free and always will be. You can Ask Lothar III. who got his Ass kicked in North Bohemia by Sobieslav I ;-P. Your resources are poor at best as the Czech king was first amnog Kurfirzsten and independent sovereign. There were times when Czech kings were forced to officialy kneel before emperor, symbolicaly, when they lost a war, but practicaly it ment no difference :-P and famous emperors of HRE got their bottoms wrecked many times in Bohemia ;-). Swallow your ignorant anti-Czech sentiment. We are older nation than English ;-). When William the Conqueror set to Hastings, we already had centralised state and rule, with laws ;-). We have quite old laws from urban-law collection of royal cities. Your biggot ego will have to deal with it. Sorry ;-) .

They became white. The Turkic peoples are a mixture betwen old Scythians who migrated from Eastern European steppes to Central Asia. There, they mixtured with peoples who were yellow. Yellow race. But, a yellow majority and a white minority. The Turkic peoples are metise! Today, most of Magyars do not recognise that! They lies. Over 90% of Hungarians, today, are Europeans assimilated!

How can he be german while Germany didnt even exist ???

[@henryc.1131]

The name for Germany comes from the name of its people, not the other way around. In german "Deutschland" means "land of the germans" or "german land" and the word "deutsch" was first used as "diudisko" by a gothic bishop named Wulfila, in 360 AD. Also the name for a german land/Germany "deutsches Land" was created around this time period. So you can call Otto I. legally german.

[@Lion-rs2qy]

I don't care what anyone says , but fom here is when the Germans were influencing the OTTAMAN. If you listen to Turks talking , their Language has German influence . AND the Albanians I beleive are a break away from Turks and also German influence. A recent BREAK through in regards to Turkey, was Through ARCHEOLOGISTS found that they have ties with the Etruscans . whatever they find in regards to Turks , the Albanians are on the tail end of it

[@tomatensoup190]

you are a despisable idiot with no regard to genealogy, archeology and linguistic.

[@rick149ou]

Of course modern day Turks of Turkey are related to Greeks, Albanians and maybe even Etruscan's. That is because the Asiatic steppe nomads that were the Turks invaded lands settled by Europeans and married or had as sex slaves many of their women. I don't see where Turkic has German/Germanic influence. It may be that Turkic was influenced by Finno-Ugric, Slavic and Iranian from the times when the they still steppe nomads and shortly after they conquered Iran.
