[@Normacly]

The Hungarians learned from their mistakes in the first invasions. 1. The recuritment of more knights, as their heavy armor can shurg off attacks from Mongolian horse archer. 2. Hiring and training crossbowmen, since it is easier for peasants to learn and yet it has the capability to kill the Mongol light cavarly. 3. Constructing more stone fortifications to delay and to force the Mongols to suffer losses in sieges. Contrary to popular belief, the Mongols rarely encountered well fortified cities. When they did, the Mongols suffered greatly at the hands of the defenders. For example, the Mongols repeatedly failed to push through the Song defense of Southern China due to a pair of stone fortesses. It is only when the Mongols recurited Muslim engineers to construct counter-weight trebuchets did they breached the Song defense. 4. Creating new baronies, so that local nobles have the resources and rights to establish local militias. This is a key strategy, as unlike the "civilized militaries," the Mongols sole source of supplies are from raiding outlaying villages in small parties. Destroyed enough of these parties, the Mongols would lose too many men and would lack the supplies to maintain the invasion.

[@rydernigguh1703]

And dont fight the mongols at open field, lol.

[@Normacly]

@@peepooo8337 However, it did not mean the Mongols were powerless against knights. The Mongols fielded their own heavy cavalry, who have the blunt weapons capable of dealing with plate armor. In fact, the Mongols managed to defeat German knights years before events of thus video, by baiting them to chase the Mongol horse archers into ambushes set up by the Mongol heavy lancers. The Hungarians and later Polish learned from that mistake too and knew to reign in their knights from rash chasings. Instead, they use light cavalry to pursue enemies, as they could avoid Mongol heavy lancers.

[@Normacly]

@@peepooo8337 Again, there is a reason knights wear padded armor under their plate armor. It greatly soften shock weapons. Also, the shock from arrows will not harm the person, rather it will annoy them. Even when crossbow and firearms became common in the late 15th and early 16th century Europe, plate armored units were used as shock infantry for they could take on the fire power to an extent. Armored infantry fell out of favor due to cost effectiveness, while armored cavarly served well into the mid-19th century when all Western and Central European infantries fielded muskets. Even in far richer modern nations like the US, not all men get the best of body protection solely due to the sheer costs. If Mongol bows can simply go through plate armor, there would end the age of armores cavalry long before the 20th century.

[@phillipwilliams6686]

Every1 acts like cavalry is so dominant,in the end that was the mongol weakness...only cavalry,with a proper mix of infantry and range u can control cavalry especially in european lands

[@stanleysmith7551]

Ladislav lV (Hungarian: lV Kun László) was the most interesting member of the Árpád dynasty. He was half Cuman ( Hungarian: Kun) therefore he was much more lax and easy going than his predecessors, he loved (Cuman) women and wine, but apparently never touched his wife Isabella from the Kingdom of Naples. Once he was imprisoned by the nobility to have sex with Isabella, but he still refused, saying she's too frigid and lacks passion. 😅 He was excommunicated several times by the pope because of his lifestyle and friendship with the Cumans. He prompted Simon Kézai to write the history of the Hungarian people (Gesta Hungarorum) where the Huns are being shown as the ancestors of the Hungarians. Both Kézai and the king believed that the Hungarians, Huns and Cumans are basically the same people (Cumans, contrary to other minorities, quickly adopted the Hungarian language and are speaking Hungarian to this day). Ladislav saw his Cuman brethren as 'true Hungarians' their lifestyle as, pure as that of the old Hungarians in Árpád's days. According to Kézai, Árpád, And therefore Ladislav himself is the direct descendent of Attila, the capital Buda is named after Attila's brother Bleda (still Buda in Hungarian literature), Attila's wife Ildikó was Hungarian according to Kézai (while in reality she was a Gepid, but the name Ildikó as well as Attila are still very popular among Hungarians). Although seen as an intelligent, but good-for-nothing drunkard, Ladislav won most of his battles. He defeat Premysl Otakar who was considered to be a military genius at the time and seperated Austria from Bohemia and granting it to a minor swiss nobleman called Rudolf von Habsburg. 😏 He drove back the Mongols and was pitted against the Cumans by the church, defeated them in the battle of Hód lake, but was quick to velcome them back once things have settled. At the end of his reign he had his royal guard composed of only Mongols and Cumans. (he banished the Hungarian nobility and clergy from his court...long story) In the end it was his beloved Cumans who murdered him while he was having sex with his Cuman concubine Édua. (Édua's brother later took revange on the assassins ).

[@sectorgovernor]

Here, an imaginary portrait of Kun László www.flagmagazin.hu/userfiles/text/IVLaszloKunLaszlo.jpg?full=1

[@sectorgovernor]

Yes, and Gesta Hungarorum's Hun origin is interesting, because a monk in the 13thcentury, went to east, and he found the rest of hungarians, who stayed in the Ural. They had a kind of a state, what is called Magna Hungaria by historians. But I guess they didn't know about 'Uralic languages' in the 13th century. The mongol invasions destroyed Magna Hungaria, those hungarians who survived, probably assimilated to bashkir people(Turkic people in Siberia) according to genetics. That's why bashkirs has Uralic admixture and they are one of the genetically closest modern population to 10th century hungarians.

[@stalinskaya9516]

Kézai also mentioned the fact that at their arival in Panonia, the Hungarians found there the Vlachs, who willingly remained there.

Hungary was somewhat lucky in this period. Throughout massive crises Hungary usually had very weak kings; Vladislaus II being an example, fucked up the Hungarian army and nobility pathing the way for Mohacs. Béla IV was a strong ruler, and if he wasn’t king at the time, and another weak ruler was in charge, I don’t think Hungary would’ve made it out of the 13th century. He’s got to be one of the greatest Hungarian rulers imo. Not many can take on the might of the mongols, lose and still maintain your prior territorial borders.

Great video ! Let me show something: Mongolian invasions of Hungary: 1241: victory (battle of mohi) 1285: not victory (draw) 1345: defeat --->TOTAL HUNGARIAN VICTORY ! In 1345 King Louis the Great sent baron Andrew Lackfi to invade the lands of the Golden Horde in retaliation for the Tatars' earlier plundering raids against Transylvania. On the days 2-5 february 1345 the hungarian army crushed the huge tatar army. TOTALLY ! It was the three days long battle,one of the biggest battle of middle ages. Thereafter the Golden Horde's control of the lands between the Eastern Carpathians and the Black Sea weakened. So the Hungarian Kingdom became great power. Please make a video about these events ! THX from Hungary !! Amazing work again !

Very nice episode, about a very interesting and complex period of time in Eastern Europe. One thing you did not mention however, which I personally consider very important and worth mentioning is that the bulgarian ruler Constantin Tikh, did not just suddenly die, he fell victim to the first and only succesfull peasent uprising in european feudal history. It was led by a man called Ivaylo, has was a very fascinating character said to have inspired many other later peasent uprisings and many other later historical figures such as Yan Hus and Joan of Arc. The conditions for this to happen were because Constantine Tikh did not always pay his tribute to Nogai, so the mongols would pillage the northern countryside of Bulgaria for years, without Constantine actually bothering to do anything about this. The bulgarian peasentry was expectedly furious, they were led by Ivaylo, in many battles against the mongols in which they succesfully defeated the armies of Nogai in three separate battles, making the mongols flee north of the danube. After this he rebels led by Ivaylo were able to confront the royal forces, still loyal to Constantine Tikh in a battle infront of the gates of Tarnovo (the bulgarian capital) in which it is said Ivaylo personally killed Constantine and became ruler of Bulgaria for three years. Ivaylo married Constantine's widow, niece of Michael VIII (she betrayed him because he was planning to remove her from power in Bulgaria) lvaylo defeated the byzantine armies led by Michael VIII, by ambushing two of his armies in the balkans passes and destroying them (de-javu) after that he succesfully waged more war against the Golden Horde for 3 years. Unfortunatelly he was betrayed by his own vasals who could never accept a peasent commoner as their tsar, so he fled to Nogai, where he weas eventually killed on the orders of Michael the 8th. (Michael's daugther is said to have instigated this since she was wife of Chaka). Thank you for reading. Keep making such wonderful material, you guys are the only youtube channel that I so gladly donate to, I wish I could give more. You deserve it. Respect from Bulgaria.

There was a bit more on Ivaylo in the original script I sent them- but sadly it had to be cut for time. To discuss it properly would have been another 5 minutes at least onto this video, already very long as it was, and alot more animating it. Such cuts, sadly, always have to be made for videos on any topic.

Boris One question, please. According to the facts, there were no Romanian, neither one person. Please tell me who they are? How can it be, you have lost your territories under the centuries? I know we stood face to face for "Erdőn túl" Erdély (Transylvania), but after this period what happened with you there?

Always love your videos about the mongols. I was hoping this video series would go further in-depth about the golden horse and it seems I’ll get my wish soon enough. Who needs game of thrones when you have history?

[@raykaelin]

My Lord, I am thoroughly exhausted following to the very end this professionally done and visually excellent video, not to mention its lucidly presented narration. Well done! The complexity of the many, continuous wars and generalships was truly fascinating.

[@tovarishchsimonov289]

It is astonishing that the Mongols will get as much as 50 more episodes

[@MasterMalrubius]

They did attack a lot of different peoples.

[@DoraFauszt]

You might be surprised to discover just how important the Mongol Empire was for the 13th century in general. Totally shaped history.

[@jaythompson5102]

@@DoraFausztThey also affected more people and lands than any other conquerors before or after until the British did their world tour. They arguably affected the world even more than the Brits due to having such an impact in China.

They placed very crucial role in Eastern Asia, especially China and around till at least 19th Century

The original plan of Batu Khan and Subutai was exactly "keep conquering until see the Ocean", so if Ogedai Khan didn't die at that time, Batu and Subutai wouldn't stop invasion. In fact, when the Ogedai' death arrived the western expedition army, Batu had already prepared for battle of the siege of Vienna(to catch Bela IV).
