Well done for videos. I personally think that Romanians are more connected to Slavic than to Roman(Latin) nations, just check out those names, Vlad which is actually shorter version of VladiSLAV - means ruler on most slavic languages, name of the city T(a)rgoviste means place where you trade, literary city center, you can find many more evidence that prove my point. Keep going more great clips!
Where do you get the music
Respect ! We really need to remember our brave worriors !I wish you many more historic european pages !

I had no idea Vlad was such a capable administrator. It's a bit overshadowed by his love of pointy sticks. Great video!
Thanks man, much appreciated.
couldn't have been done without his love of pointy sticks
Vlad the Well-Organised doesn't have the same ring to it.
His brutal efficiency extended to brutally and efficiently sending the message that corruption and thievery were not tolerated and Turks were not welcome. Lol
Yes, no cheapjacks, cheap Food ..
So the real Vlad the Impaler is more interesting than the vampire stories he influenced.
Pretty much, yes. His later years in prison and his last attempt at trying to take power are also awesome.
@@hungseikei9 He learned it from your mother.
More interesting and far more frightening!

HistoryMarche and why tf is you deleting my messages bro?
Vlad: "I sent you a man's head plz reply"
LMAO
Zellig Hhahahahahaha
Without''please''
That was probably the first emoji😂😂
@@Alex-er2nh 😂😂😂😂 almost pissed myself
Damn, what he did to Dan III was utter humiliation and must have been really satisfying for Vlad. Having the murderer of your father and brother defeated in a duel, then having him dig his own grave in front of his men before cutting his head and impaling them all. That was some "Count of Monte Cristo level" revenge.
Exactly what I thought while researching this.
Vicent Lazar
That was also utterly evil and blood-thirsty. Killing the murderer? Fine. But each and every single one of the guy's soldiers? That's just bloodshed for bloodshed.
Vicent Lazar
Besides, massacring civvies? What the fuck, Vlad??
On another point, why didn't Dan the IIIrd's soldiers try to at least fight and sell their lives expensively?
It is extreme by today's standards I agree, but back then such things were usual. He understood psychological warfare and wanted to send a message to his other opponents. Killing civilians was acceptable even in the western code of chivalry. Knights had no problem massacrating peasants. Only noblemen were spared if they could pay. Look up chevauchée s.
Dan's soldiers were probably heavily outnumbered and surrounded. They probably hoped they would be spared if they don`t fight back.
It's about sending a message, plus they were traitors, and Vlad didn't like traitors.
During his rule there are a few tales. The first one is the shortest, In Targoviste if I remember right, on a fountain there was a golden cup, which is said that during his rule the cup was never stolen. And the secound:
A merchant lose a bag of 1000 forints, he came to the king and asked if anyone finds it to contact him, and the persone who finds it will recive 100 forints. After a while a man finds the bag, and brings it to Tepes, he contacts the merchant and is brought in front of the throne, to ensure that it is his, when he counted he tried to trick Vlad and the person who find it, and said "Oh I see you have taken your cut, ok then I will leave". But Vlad stoped him and asked if the man really took his cut from his bag, to which he replied that he didn't. Seeing that the merchant wants to trick him and the good person who helped him said :" Then this means that this is not your bag of forints, so I will keep it here with me until the real persone who lost this comes and claims it, and don't worry we will notify you if we ever find your bag of forints.
I'm so glad you picked Vlad. More Eastern European middle ages please.
Thank you for watching. I too like the history from the Balkan and Carpathian regions. But it was my patrons who chose Vlad Tepes and Targoviste. Before production on each video begins, I compile a list of battles that people requested and let my patrons choose.
HistoryMarche that’s a good idea
James Pilkinton
- It's a frickin' great idea. Makes you want to become a patron.
I most likely will at some point, that's a quite interesting conflict.
HistoryMarche Then May I suggest Khan Krum the Horrible (or whatever the Byzantines called him after he made the emperors skull into a wine cup). Pretty decent ruler and all around badass. I could help with materials if you can't find enough in English.
"When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show them!"
-Vlad Tepes
Humiliating your father's killer by forcing him to dig his own grave in front of his men,
Sneaking into an Ottoman fortress, assassinating the guards and eliminating the garrison...
Man this deserves to be turned into a movie series - its literally the Romanian version of Game of Thrones.
I second this.
MoonlightEmbrace How about this one? He sneaks in otoman camp where 130000 are sleeping to kill the leader. A brave man.
The guy was some kind of special forces today. Even an american fb page with ex. seal/green berets posted about how bad ass he was.

When you are so OP you act as your own personal champion, administrator, and spy.
Haha, nerf please!
Vlad the Impaler... Well, this is going to be brutal... *gets popcorn*
Thanks for stopping by. Now that I've finally finished the video I gotta see your Byzantine stuff, added it to my "to watch" list, but just had little to no time to sit back and watch it.
History Time Lmao. Yea he is our national hero. And now after 500 yers Romanians say "Come vlad to get rid of our politicians"
Duras80 that is the best thing I’ve ever heard
Love your videos too!
Vlad was the shit back in his days! Today he would be seen as a maniac perhaps...
i really like the fact that you tried to say the romanian names corectly. keep it up
Thank you, much appreciated. We had help from a cool Romanian guy, and Alex did an awesome job with the narration.
To me, the names sound 99% like in Romanian. I even wonder how they pronounce the names so good!
Good job!
@@zyracxes9333 Meh they're closer than most people
@@zyracxes9333 The bigger travesty is him using the Russian Orthodox cross and not the Romanian one
The real life Vlad is far more terrifying than any vampire adaptation I've seen.
Valid point.
I live in Targoviste and it's so cool to walk around the city, looking at castle ruins and think: "Damn these have been here for hundreds of years. This is where Vlad lived"
I love that you are creating videos about important battles of Romanian People. Thank you so much for that sir!
You're welcome sir. Thank you for watching, I'm glad you found the video enjoyable.
Romanian people ??!?!!!??!? Romania was created in 1859 , not in the 13th century
Cool SP in 1859 the Kingdom of Romania was estabilished. Romanian people existed long before that
Cool SP Before 1859 there was Wallachia, Moldova and Transylvania, Romanian principalities. So Romanians were present there long before 1859. Romanians are native to this part of Europe.
There were people long before that, no doubt. The important part is how those people self-indicate.
Vlad Tepes was a real badass and had balls of steal to enter personally in the enemies city or camp.
Most leaders of that era were too wimpy to fight on their own. Vlad was trained in combat from a young age and had a very personal vendetta against the Empire he was sold to as an innocent child. God knows what they did to him. Kind of brought this on themselves.
Hilarious part is that much of his training and tactics used against the Ottomans were taught to him by themselves. Bet they regret that in the long run.
@Yilmaz Kilinc Typical gay muslim response
@@Zellig no one left to regret it xD
@Yilmaz Kilinc cool story bro. Do you know more cool stories? I like cool stories, please share more cool stories with us... bro
That pronunciation of targoviste was spot on, especially for a non native, well done
Thank you kindly. Alex did a great job with pronunciations in the voice over, and we've had help from Calin Cretu, a cool Romanian dude who checked all of our pronunciations. In the Battle of Vaslui video I was mostly responsible for the poor pronunciations, but thankfully we've improved :)
HistoryMarche no problem and actually all pronunciations were top notch not just that. Very nicely done video, sub.
You should've asked a Bulgarian for correct pronunciation of Търговище
a king who fights his own battles... that says a lot about the man
Many of romanian rulers made the same (Stephen the Great, Michael the Brave). We have many brave rulers. I expect a video with John the Brave (Ion Voda cel Cumplit). Was one of the bravest romanian rulers.
Wouldn’t that be a sight...
This was just marvelous. You have no idea, dear sir, how much i wanted to see more videos with romanian history . But putting this aside, your point of view and how you explain everything in every video that you posed by now, is just beautiful. Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you for the kind words. I hope to release Targoviste part 2 sometime during June.
If it's no trouble to you, share the video with your friends.
sure i will, you can count on me!
Love your videos Sir. Especially those with Romanian and Balkan history!
@Dastan JAn - Thank you very much.
I love how multiple times he actually dressed incognito himself to infiltrate the enemy. So badass.
Certainly. Despite being fluent in Turkish, it must've taken some nerve to pull that off.
Ivan the Terrible : I am the cruelest person alive.
Vlad the Impaler : Hold my beer.
LMAO
A history fact is that Vlad the Impaler was actually a role model for Ivan the Terrible. Ivan was a great diplomat and some of his cruel and diplomatic actions was inspired from Vlad. Another fact is that when Ivan was a child he was asking stories about Vlad and he was very impressed and excited. The best part is that Stalin was considering Ivan the Terrible the best leader that ever exist.
@@ionutflorinsirbu2342 Well, he wasn't wrong since Ivan the Terrible basically created Russia
Bit of an amateur compared to the Mongols, who when they stormed Baghdad killed every man, woman, child, and animal (down to the rats and mice) as a warning to others who might think of resisting!
Vlad had a noble cause.
Ivan the terrible was just a garbage human being.
You gota admit - walking into your enemy's camp with just a handful of men, telling them to lower their defenses, is quite ballsy for a prince of all people to.
Indeed.
I'm Romanian and i think this presentation is awesome !
I thank you personally for finding out time ,and energy to teach everybody who wants to know more about our history !
And also ,the narrator is great and the animations are extraordinary !
Thank you for watching. I truly appreciate your generous compliments.
Big + for the right prononciation of the romanian names or words!
It's really impressive how you presented how Vlad transformed and reformed Wallachia. I really love this, Here in Romania, they don't teach un history as well as this. They almost teach us nothing, just general things. The fact that Vlad was a dueler was unknown to me, and so was that he was such a modern national leader, implementing such modern centralisation methods. I trully love your work on my country's history :)). I would love you to present more about Romania's History and her evolution :)). Again, I personaly trully thank you for this video.
I love my ancenstor a lot more than before thanks to you presenting him so well :))
Very kind words sir. Thank you very much. I too love the history of the Balkan and Carpathian regions, so I'll will surely do more videos about these parts in the future. Targoviste part 2 should be out sometime in June.
LOL, they teach you, if you want it an if you care to know more about your own country. They...who?!
Do you think that in other countries everybody is learning everything about their country? That any professor is teaching kids about everything?
Ion Popescu mă refer la sistemul de educație de la noi. Pe partea de istorie. Nu ne învață decât cele mai vagi chestii la școală. Că de școală ziceam eu. Materia predată este aproape nimic. Eu sunt pasionat de istorie și o știu pe a noastră explicit, însă inca am lucruri care mă surprind. Istoria noastră nu este predată cum trebuie, extrem de multa este ascunsă, sau negată, la școală. La asta mă refeream. Nu ne zice nimeni de reformele lui Vlad de exemplu. Ne zice doar de vreo 2 bătălii și de reputația lui, nu ni se spune de strategii, de caracterul lui, etc.
A. OK, la asta așa e, adică ce se predă prin cele mai multe școli...Primară, generală, chiar liceu. Credeam acă la facultate. Acolo nu e chiar așa.
Da, școala de la noi, în general, e cam tot pe sistemul ceaușist. totuși , există multe locuri în vest unde copiii sunt tot praf la istorie și la altele. Și peste ocean a scăzut calitatea învățământului comparativ cu alte decenii, se pare. Asta e...e bine că ești pasionat. Înseamnă că ți se trage din familie :) . Educația adevărată e mai mult ceva individual decât de masă, de sistem. sistemul e ..varză.
Te învață la facultatea de istorie. La școală nu are cum, trebuie diluată și condensată informația.
2:11 That comet that came across the night sky was the appearance of Halley’s Comet. It came across Earth in 1456
It should be called the Tepes's Comet because he saw it first :)
I hated history at school.
I enjoyed this a lot.
Yeah because at school do not learn the real history .
This is one of the only good Vlad documentary on UA-cam.
Wow, I'm flattered to hear that. Thank you for your generous words.
ua-cam.com/video/EAzwR48IDKc/v-deo.html
When is the REAL Vlad getting his own movie. What a badass to take on the Ottomans alone.
Agreed. There are so many interesting topics that would be great on the movie screen, but we get Avengers and Transformers part 53...
Dracula Untold is the best version of the vlad story imo
There is also a Romanian movie called Vlad Tepes made in 1979 if you want to see it

There are movies.
Hbo should make a tv series on Vlad...Game of Voievods
Hehe, thanks. I should maybe pitch my script to them.
Hell yeah, and the CGI cuz what you do in your videos is great work
I rarely find videos about Romanian history that stick to the actual facts so nicely. What a great job, thanks a lot for your effort! Keep it up, sir!
Quality stuff again. I especially love your close up map graphics. They are so nice.
Thank you kindly sir. Glad you liked the video.
Putting lots of work, dedication and also love in these projects makes those videos to be my favorite. Great job and can't wait for next episode!
I love how it let us imagine the geography, the terrain and the settlements back then.
HistoryMarche Yeah! Such great visuals
was thinking that my self this si the first video ive watched and the map popped up i was like hey thats a nice touch
i liked the close up graphics too
As i've seen below, somebody already congratulated you on the pronunciation of Targoviste, Bucuresti too, and i wanted to do the same and wish you all the best in the future, your videos are astoundingly good. I actually paused what i was doing to see this video of my hometown. History is a pleasure when presented in such a good way, hope you become a millionaire, really do :D
Thank you sir. Neither Alex, nor I speak a word of Romanian, so I truly appreciate your positive feedback. I tried to research proper pronunciations this time, I did a horrible job in the Vaslui video sadly. We also had help from a cool Romanian guy who corrected our pronunciations, and Alex did a fine job with the voice-over in the end.
For previous videos I should have been more thorough myself and not just depend on you / my own experience for pronunciations. Your script work is fantastic and having your Romanian friend check it was invaluable!
Best videos Sir. I love what you do and how you do it. You will always have a like from me and others at every video of Romanian history and of course at every video you release 👍!
I think you're becoming one of my favorite UA-camr already.

Please continue with Romanian history! I am Romanian and I never find videos about Romania! I subscribed to you the instant I saw your video about the battle of Vaslui.Keep up the good work!
Thank you kindly. Although I can't only focus the same region in each video, I'll definitely return to the Balkan/Carpathian region in the future.
Thanks!I like how you make your videos too!I have watched all of them and I will keep watching.
Had no clue this guys was so badass. Hope to see more videos around this time in history.
Glad you liked the video.
Im planning to buy portraits of vlad, napoleon, caesar, octavian, and hitler. They were badass as I study further the history.
As a romanian i am proud to see this narrated with such voice force.. this guy can read my grocery list and make it seem like an epic journey :D. looking forward for 2nd part
Alex rocks. I too like his voice-over delivery. Glad you enjoyed it. Part 2 should be out sometime in June
Thankyou! :D When I narrate my own shopping I get strange stares, then asked to leave.....
LMAO, then as you're leaving you turn to the cashier and, doing the voice of Robin Williams from Good morning Vietnam, you say: "Picture a man going on a journey beyond sight and sound", and then defiantly walk out of the shop.
@@alexanderdoddy7590 Just imagine you demanding justice from a blazed cop. Frightening.
@@fastcougar3200 I'd get shot
I like how you talked about how he strengthened his country, I don’t care what people say about him he was an amazing leader. He singlehandedly held off the ottomans for a decent amount of time. Especially impressive because he was in civil war too. Walachia didn’t need a nice ruler, they needed a merciless dragon who was willing to do anything that’s necessary.
There are legends that say that in these days the mugs of fountains were made of gold and nobody stole them for the fear of being impale...maybe those are just legends, but i'm sure that man can be controlled by fear
Yes I too read similar things, how a young woman could walk along Wallachian roads alone while carrying a purse filled with gold, and she wouldn't be harmed due to the fact that Vlad virtually exterminated bandits and petty criminals.
Legend says in his tme was a fountain with a can made from gold for anybody to drink water. Nobody dare to steal it cos thievs and traitors were impailed. In that day when he died the can was stolen.
Whether you consider his actions murder or justice, one thing is for sure - this man didn't waste time sitting on his hands! He could have ruled Wallachia and grown fat while doing absolutely nothing. He had high connections with all his neighbors - the Moldavian warlord(a man of legend himself) was his cousin, the Hungarians saw him as a loyal servant and he rubbed elbows with the Turkish sultan since they were children, being more like brothers rather then rivals. Instead, he chose the path of action...
^This. That's why I think that, while Vlad's rule was brutal, it wasn't because he was inherently a brutal man. In choosing to attempt to set Wallachia on a new course, he considered the brutal measures as a necessary evil for the benefit of Wallachia
ionicafardefrica
I would consider him a murder
An excellent video but your 'opinion' that he was not by nature a cruel man is absurd. In a time more brutal than most his example of TERROR was exceptional. Even the Turks, the standard bearers of cruelty, saw him this way as in the end did his own people. Effective yes. Stalin was too but VERY brutal. Why the reality denial?? Don't reinforce today's resurgent ignorant reactionary nationalism and bigotry. (NOT cool, anymore than anti free speech Liberal PC is).
It seems only empires have the monopolistic right on efficient terror. Well, I'm sure Vlad learned first hand, from the Ottomans, how to do it, only he did it better. He went to both the Sandhurst and School of the Americas of his time simultaneously and apparently graduated first of his class, arguably besting even Stephen the Great or Michael the Brave in military strategy and tactics.
You are wrong, Mago is not Romanian, so the "resurgent ignorant reactionary nationalism" is only in your head. The standard bearers of cruelty... hmmm, you probably never heard what crusaders did in Palestine or when they sacked Constantinople, to mention just a few examples already happened in Vlad's time. There are so many more, many without any military justification.
*autnocens* Vlad did learn about impaling from them but they used it as a SPECIAL punishment for traitors, Not en masse As for Crusader insanity I get accused of anti West propaganda even though the majority of evidence for Christian insanity (Jerusalem) and slaughter comes from the Christian writers of the time. Lastly i never said Mago is Romanian but this history attracts the worst sorts See other comments (see all the WW II neo Nazi fans)
Easily one of history's most fascinating characters, a monster, who fought a bigger monster...
Very well said.
As a romanian i am very impressed with the pronuciantion of our cities and leaders, it's spot on! Highly educational and qualitative video. thank you very much.
Holy fuck this dude just decided battles by cutting people in half during duels, sent heads as messages to kings, impaled whole armies, burnt alive the homeless, killed everyone who opposed him, forced people to dig their own graves, made infiltration operations by himself and took the fight with one of the mightiest empires of that time... this is both more brutal and epic than any fiction I know. Anyway, great job on this video too!
Thank you very much. I guess each of the men that dueled him didn't know Vlad excelled in sword fighting.
Am I the only who thinks that there videos are getting better? :)
I'm quite glad you think that. I'm constantly trying to improve the visual presentation. Changed a lot of small things over time due to suggestions and negative feedback from viewers. Thank you for watching.
as someone with an armenian background, i think vlad is a christian hero and his bravery is impressive, especially how he punched above his weight class without a second thought
A true hero he was.
"It is not the love of God that brings people to the church. It's fear of hell's agonies!"
"And you want to embody them, Highness?"
"I must lead the country to righteousness! Mehmed is close! Before him, the country must be like an invincible steel sword. Swords are hardened through fire."
"Not hell's fires!"
"I haven't another handy."

Man, thank you! You are great and you take time for minor details
Thank you for the covering my country's history and I hope you will cover more of it. You did great with the pronunciations and the overall content. Keep it up, excellent job!
Thank you sir. Yes, this time I did better research on pronunciations than in the Vaslui video. Alex's did a wonderful job with the voice-over, but we had lots of help from a great bloke from Romania, who checked everything and recorded audio of how names should be pronounced.
Mad respect to this absolute madman.
We wouldn't be here if not for him.
He was a mad man and a psycho who is burning in hell for all the women and children killed. In the end he lost his dead and I have no sympathy for him. And you would be here if not for him. You’re implying that if Muslims rose we want to kill everyone, bullshit. In our religion non Muslims can go to heaven and Christians and Jews are people of the book.
I'm really glad that you made this video. Definitely, Romania had some great rulers and its history deserves to be tell. You do some great stuff, I love all your videos and I hope that in the future you will also make one about the Armada Invencible ( Battle of Gravelines 1588)
Thank you very much. I'll add the topic you suggested to the list.

Thank you sir. I personally like seeing negative feedback as long as it's constructive, and I really try to address it. It's not always perfect, but bit by bit things are improving :)

Berserk Guts Who are you?
That's gay and get the hell out of here , I hate you stupid you are everywhere , shit
Vlad Tepes, Janush Hunyadi, and Skanderbeg are the medieval Ghostbusters that helped slow the advance of the Ottoman menace. They were all in correspondence with each other and if they were able to unite their forces the Ottomans would have been finished in the Balkans. This was a well put video and popcorn worthy. Bravo!!
P.S. Since your interested in Balkan history you should look into Skanderbeg since there aren't that many pieces on him and I think you'd be interested.
Great to see such positive feedback, thank you.
And Stephen the great,his cousin and ruller of Moldavia.
Shit bro how can I forget the One and Only Stephen THE GREAT
SKANDERBER HERO !
@Accelerated it was not bulgarian, it was vlach, or romanian, where did you even get this seriously wrong information that it was bulgarian? xD
Amazing video! I have seen many of your older videos, and I can gladly tell that their quality has improved quite a lot since those were published. The animations are gorgeous, the narration is captivating and the visuals are stuning.
Keep up the good work guys!
Really great and well explained videos, I particularly like that your videos include the context for the battle, because more often than not it makes the big battle to come far more interesting.
I wonder what would have happened if the Hungarians and the Moldovians joined with Vlad and hit the Ottomans? Missed opportunity. Looking forward to the next one in this series.
Ahh the great what if's of history. I've spent countless hours... days even, thinking about alternative history topics from various parts of the world. Part 2 should be release sometime during June.
Yeah, but how else Buda would have fallen to the ottomans so beautifully?
Hungarians and romanians are old enemies. We never were friends.
@Adrian NiKo I hate Romania
@Adrian NiKo Seeing their comments is enough reason. Liars, haters, disrespectful.
This is amazing! After ~10 years of Romanian history, I did not even remotely have this image of Vlad. Thank you and please do go on with Romanian history clips.
Thank you sir. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Waiting for next part. Keep it up, man. Love you
Thank you kindly. Part 2 should be out sometime in June.
Greetings from Turkey. Here I see a very neutral, fluent and successful narrative of history. We, as modern humans, should use history not to use it with perverse feelings, but to understand the truths and wrongs of the past, and to get to know our cultures and identities better.
hello from Romania...i agree with you...what past generations did in the past should not be used to hate people from the present
Hello, certainly, but some of you people, still live on the battle field, it is just annoying for everybody in this region, we should to renounce to our historical frustrations and develop our countries...
Thank you for covering parts of Romanian history.
My pleasure. If you can share the video.

Heh, thank you sir. I like the history of the Balkans and Carpathians, these two regions have some fascinating stories imo, so I'll be returning to these parts for more videos in the future. Part 2 should be out sometime in June.
Was bored with nothing too watch and then I noticed you guys posted a new video! Keep up the great work. This is definitely becoming one of my favorite channels on UA-cam.
Thank you for watching. Share the video if it's no trouble. Cheers!
Great video brother and the Romanian pronunciations are pretty good, can't wait for part 2. Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you sir. I've had help in my pronunciation research from a cool Romanian guy who checked everything. Then it was up to Alex to bring the names to life, did a fine job dare I say.
Oh, and part 2 should be out sometime in June.
This is a massive upgrade from my high school history books! Great job with the narration, it so easy to get hooked by it
Thank you kindly sir.
Great stuff! Thank you and looking forward to the next one!
You are really stepping your game up. I want to support your work, can’t wait for part 2.
Thank you sir, I do try to improve any aspect of how the videos look and feel. I've made changes bit by bit from one video to the next, and it's nice to see people notice and like the changes.
Great video! And I can't believe someone makes video documentaries and strategic animations about us! I thought we were forgotten, completely forgotten. Our history is great, our culture is ancient, and we managed to survive here, around so many enemies. Thanks, man, for paying this tribute to Romanian history!
You're very kind, thank you. History of the Carpathian region is indeed fascinating, it's one of my favorites.
Brutal but great man, a Liberator for the Bulgarians, if he had received help from this damn Matthias the First of Hungary things would have gone very badly for the ottomans
Yeah but this Matthias dude was but a shadow if what his father was.
Hungari traidors
@@adrianmarina3278 Hungarians were long traitors, their engineer, Orban helped the ottomans to have access to the Dardanelle Bombard, some Hungarians nobles sided with the ottomans, not heloing the Wallachians also did helped the ottomans, these guys didn't own the right to have an independant country!
Man I'm so happy of your work! Keep it up! I can't wait to se part 2 of this fantastic story i mean also the way you explain it and the way you edited it's really enjoyable!
Cheers to You, your great work and to Vlad the Impaler :)
Thank you for your generous words. Much appreciated. Part 2 should be out sometime in June.
The top tier medieval videos have returned
Thank you kindly.
Perfection!!! Go, go History Marche!!! 😍 😍 😍
Thank you, you're most kind :)
It's unexpected to see an foreigner interested in Romanian history, thank you my good sir. Also, I want to point out that in medieval time homelessness was very uncommon (see also Michael the Brave campaigns, he did incursions in empire and nearly reached Constantinopol, his campaign was, in some way, similar to Napoleon's)
I quite like the history of the Balkans and Carpathians. Some fascinating stories in these two regions.
im hungarian and my name is Olah, the ah means walachian
it really felt sad that king mathias covinius didnt send help, imagine what could have been reached...
its funny because the hungarians feel the same at the battle of mohacs, that like poland didnt send help or any other nation. i dont know what was the situation in hungary, i read something about inner conflicts and they wear weakened.
and if you look the connection between the hungarian king mathias and vlad tepes, they had a pakt but, they wasnt the best friends hahah
Vlad Tepes was the best! i really like him
vlad the imperlar
the tactic ow they sneaed in was hillarius! hahahahah
But We kill Vlad ;) and is so good
*_Revenge Forever Good_*
Im love Hungary only we are HATE Vlad
@@cecenistanlyagz3290 You ca sk my BG romanian dk that I have it from Mircea grandfather of Vlad. Because Mirce was nice for you Ottomans :)))
Basically, the Hungarian nobility stripped the Hungarian kings of their power. They divided up royal lands, cut taxes, and defunded hungary's powerful army for themselves. Then the Ottomans rolled through straight to Vienna. Greed, stupidity, and shortsightedness felled the kingdom.
Really? Seems to me Vlad dug his own grave by invading Hungary in the first place. Why should they have wanted to come to his aid? They couldn't have predicted what happened centuries in the future.
@Alex C 就实际上是今生今世就，开始就是你?
This is absolutely amazing! I love the close up maps and the new info you bring about battles like Târgoviște, it's really interesting! Never knew so many of these things, even though I'm romanian and it's my history, but now I do, thanks to you! Keep it up and I hope your channel blows up and gains millions of subs! Definitely sharing this one with my friends!
Thank you sir. Glad to know you learned something new from the video. And thank you for sharing the video.
I've watched all your videos by now and I think this is the best yet! You know how to tell a good story and, even better, make a good video to go with it. I really, really love the visual style and quick, steady pacing. And you're a fantastic narrator. You've got major potential, man, and I can't wait to see what the future holds :)
Thank you very much, truly appreciate your positive feedback. I research a ton of material for each script so it's nice to hear praise. The narration is done by Alex Doddy, I too love his style and delivery.
Thankyou :D
Fought two duels sparring his army, personally tricked ottoman garrison force giving his men an easy victory and tons of loot. This is how you make your forces fanatically loyal.
Charm of the vampire, if you know what i mean :)
Hollywood should make a serious historical movie about Vlad's real life. It could be a hit.
Dimi M fucking hollywood will only make a mokery of our Vlad, no thanks!
Something most people won't know, including natives, but Mago went so far to check what happened with relevant locations for the events happened almost 500 years ago, for instance the Tîrgșor town which eventually disappeared.
Yeah, it was a bit tricky to locate where the town was in those days, Targsor Nuovi and Targsor Vechi have nothing to do with the old Targsor location-wise. I managed to eventually pin down that Targsor was where a small airport stands today belonging to an Aero Club (I can't remember the name of the club).
If you're looking for feedback, I really like the design, organization, and content of the graphic at around 3 minutes. It's extremely clear and easy to understand, and it's a good counterpoint to the non-military aspects of this slice of history.
Always looking for feedback, positive and negative, keeps me on my toes. Thank you. I agree completely with what you said. Presenting certain parts of the story in that way allows for more info and details to be added and connected with the rest of the story.
Keep it on with these details. That's a reason why I love your Chanel
I'm soo excited for part 2. Hopefully it will be today as said!
Hey Blalcek, it sure will be today. In about one to two hours.
HistoryMarche Great videos, guys, and I have to say that the Romanian pronunciation were spot on.
Keep up the good work! You have my subscription.
Thank you very much good sir. Welcome to the channel!!! ❤️
Great video, you got me hooked since the battle of Vaslui and I had a blast watching your other videos
Thank you very much. Always nice to know that one of my videos takes someone's mind off things, even if it's just for 10min. If it's no trouble for you, share the video with your friends.
The narration is top-notch. This channel is really professionally done, good work guys!
Thank you kindly sir. I too am a big fan of Alex's narration.
Thankyou :)
Hell of an informative video. The civ style presentation really let me wrap my head around these events. Thank you for the history lesson
Thank you for watching.
Really cool that u covered this battle, i hope ur channel will grow as fast as possible
Thank you kindly sir. If you have a bit of time, share the video.
This video was really well made. The map included small cities even, the prononciation was on point and the animation was really fluid, well done!
Thank you kindly, just the kind of positive feedback I hope to get.
Great work. Enjoy it very much. Looking forward to Part II.
Thank you kindly. Glad you liked the video. Part II should be finished sometime during June.
you are becoming my favorite history channel if you continue like this
There is a very good job done with this video, thank you for making it! Can't wait for part 2!! (Y)
Should be out sometime in June
Great episod....Vlad is a Legend and an hero for all Romanians
Thank you, glad you liked the video.
Never have I heard a foreginer spell Târgoviște or Vlad Țepes so good, u messed up the word viteaz but it isn't easy to spell anyways :)
Thank you very much. We've been heavily criticized in our Battle of Vaslui video for incorrect pronunciations - that was in large part my fault as I'm the one writing the script and checking pronunciations. But for this video we had help from Calin Cretu who was so kind to check our pronunciations.
*warning only game of thrones fans may get this*
*Ottoman Armies invade*
Mad King: IMPALE THEM ALL!
Thank you so much,as a Romanian this video is a pleasure to watch .Really well done
