Dang dude, this came out great! Glad to have been a small part of it!

Nice way to spend a Friday night.

Or morning for me

[@HoH]

Have a great weekend !

[@napoleonibonaparte7198]

Bayezid’s collapse was probably that small window of opportunity for the Byzantines and Co. to launch a reconquest, but didn’t.

[@nomanor7987]

Unfortunately not. The Byzantines never recovered from Manzikert and the Fourth Crusade.

[@theonlygoodlookinghabsburg2081]

I mean, their numbers still seemed frail compared to the Ottomans even when the latters were fractured. I can't see how they could've done anything even then.

[@dragooll2023]

Numbers dont mean anything when you cant feed them, gentlemen

[@umitcsk2958]

To do that Greeks should believe so. When you consider that Greeks in anatolia living under turkish rule for around 300 years it was quite impossible.

[@saaimshah1042]

Would love to see a video on Timur, there are not many videos out on him. A brutal conqueror, and a pretty good general managing to stay undefeated.

[@sheevpalpy]

A video about the revolt of Sheikh Bedreddin during the Interregnum would be very interesting

[@YeeeeGreg]

Great video! I’m promptly gonna start watching the rest of the videos on this channel

[@HoH]

Hope you enjoy!

[@hanifitasova519]

Superb vid! Well done.

[@Jesse_Dawg]

Please more Ottoman videos and some of the battles too with Timur invasion please

[@ys8686]

Hi i want to give some informations about the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid . Bayezid (Some of them called him thunderbold because of his speed) was an military genius he defeated crusaders,beyliks (turkish War lord) and Balkan kingdoms . Later at the battle agains Timur his own soldiers betrayed him . Maybe because of this and other factors he ended up dying in his enemys lands. After his death Bayezid's sons started a civil War which Mehmet (Çelebi - Pius) became the Sultan .

[@Max-sm3ol]

You have an accent that I can understand and you have the music of EU IV - and I think the map too, one of my great games ! (With CK of course ! :) Well done ! :)

[@_DaNi3LL3_]

It’s great that you showed battle pre the most memorable battle of history that of Constantinople. Can you do a video on the history & of all the invasions/ conquest’s of Malta???

[@brokenbridge6316]

Nice video. Are you going to do a video on Mehmet?

[@christopher1821]

It would be awesome to hear more about Timur, if you ever get the chance.

[@mantidos]

Nice video. Although, could have given more details on how former roman imperials renegades maned crucial posts and helped the transformation of a tribal state to that of an empire. Notable family of Kose Michaloglu..

[@nomanor7987]

Why do you think the Ottomans were able to survive the defeat at Ankara against Timur but the Byzantines did not after Manzikert against Alp Arslan? One empire slowly died while the other went on to greater glory? Both battles are very similar, both Bayazid and Romanus were captured ignominiously.

[@HoH]

Very good question. At this moment I do not know enough about the context of the Battle of Manzikert to give a concrete answer to it, unfortunately.

[@CaptainHarlock-kv4zt]

The Roman empire under the Komnenian Dynasty manage to recapture most of Asia Minor. The desicive blow was 1204... not 1071.

[@dogukan127]

There does not seem to be a strong authority to take over whats left of Ottoman governance after Timur left. This means that Ottomans either established a very powerful mechanism of governance that survived despite it's head being cut off (much like what happened to Western Roman empire in it's later years) or that there was no alternative power to jump-take over, meaning Ottoman family was by now regarded as the true royal throughout this geography. You should also look into Ahi organizations, they are forms of guilds in urban centres mixed with religious mystic aspects. They were quite significant in the era after the Seljukids were destroyed by Mongols in day to day governance of urban centres in dark, uncertain times. Such entities might have played a role in this interregnum too.

[@AegeanGreywolf]

@@CaptainHarlock-kv4zt *with the help of Crusaders'. According to agreement Crusaders will give back captured Seljuk cities to Byzantines in the exchange of food and logistics. With this way Seljuk capital Nicaea was captured by Crusaders and given to Byzantines with large parts of Western Anatolia. Continuous campaigns led to Seljuk instability and power vacuum in region. If Crusaders didn't help, there would be no Empire of ''Nicaea'' after 1204.

[@AegeanGreywolf]

@ايجون تارجاريين So? British Empire weakened and lost most of her colonies after WW2 despite they won world war. Seljuks of Rum lost lots of manpower, money and internal stability because of invader crusader armies.

[@ANZACJugger0]

11:55 Vlad Draculs son???? Vlad Dracul was only just born around this time? and only starting acting up in the reign of Mehmet II Al Fatih. I suspect Vlad II and Vladislav II are being confused?

[@ghostedits3586]

I really wanted to know if there was any confrontations between Sultan Murad ii and Timurs son

[@DelijeSerbia]

what's the reason for using modern borders in the Balkans? I guess you just used some random map, but it really doesnt represent any political situation at the time.

[@HoH]

Modern borders?

[@DelijeSerbia]

@@HoH North Macedonia, Albania and Montenegro are lighter shade of red, using modern borders, and I don't see why.

[@HoH]

@@DelijeSerbia I see what you mean now. Those were general regions of influence under the Ottoman Empire but there are no 100% accurate maps available so I had to do occasional guesswork when things were a little uncertain (I based my borders on general world/European/Balkan maps throughout the ages which vary in details).

[@akrecu]

crusade at kosovo? plaese...

[@fehervari98]

The map was really bad, but aside from that, it was a great video

[@HoH]

Why was it bad?

[@fehervari98]

@@HoH It's easier to show.

[@HoH]

@@fehervari98 Thanks for sharing Marton, it is always a long and complicated process to research and create these maps since it is just me working on it. Although I don't see any major differences, I do note that these videos are much more detailed than my map. I will make sure to keep them at hand when I create new maps of the region.
