    Fun fact: 25% of the Black Army were equipped with muskets. In that age, that was a staggering amount, way more than other forces had.
    In 1485, they besieged and took Vienna, defended by the Holy Roman Emperors best general. Something which the Ottomans failed in later.
    Also, it's leader, Paul Kinizsi, was terrifying and a legendary general in Hungarian history. His greatest victory was at the Battle of Kenyérmező, defeating an Ottoman army outnumbering his 1:2.
    He led from the front, "taking two swords in hand and, like a roaring lion, rushes ,through the bloody field to the enemy, unstoppably destroying everything he faces, conducting great murder and massacre in wide ranks"(excerpt from the Chronichle of Bonfini)
    At the celebrations after the battle, he is said to have took a dead Ottoman by it's throat in his mouth and started wildly dancing with it

    "They [The Cumans] fought in their habitual manner, learnt from their fathers. They would attack, shoot their arrows and begin to fight with spears. Before long they would turn their attack into flight and induce their enemy to pursue them. Then they would show their faces instead of their backs, like birds cutting through the air, and would fight face to face with their assailants and struggle even more bravely. This they would do several times, and when they gained the upper hand over the Romans [Byzantines], they would stop turning back again. Then they would draw their swords, release an appalling roar, and fall upon the Romans quicker than a thought. They would seize and massacre those who fought bravely and those who behaved cowardly alike".

      For the Byzantines/Romans, hiring Roger de Flor and the Catalan Company was sort of like adopting a pet tiger. In the one hand they demolished Turkish armies and so restored something of imperial control over some cities and regions in Asia Minor. On the other hand, the Roger himself had no intention of being controlled by Andronikos II. Roger married into the imperial family, but his vision was to establish a mostly independent feudal state in Anatolia which would only nominally be under the Byzantine control. That didn't sit too well with the Byzantines/Romans who killed Roger and after that the Catalan Company ravaged Thrace and Thessaly…pet tigers are great until you try to call them to heel and you get mauled.
      So let's say that somehow either Roger's Greek wife or somebody from Constantinople actually manages to tame Roger, the Templar turned pirate. That would have been a windfall for the Byzantine Empire. The Catalans began their work in 1303. I have a hard time seeing how the Osman/Ottoman Emirate really gets going like it did from 1302-1340. With a not-destroyed Thrace and Thessaly, and the seemingly invincible (and loyal) Catalans in Asia Minor, the Byzantine Empire would be in a strong place to face the challenges of the 14th century and there would be a good chance that the Byzantine Empire survives into modern times.
      Yes, pet tigers are great if you can tame them.

    Norman history be like: Henry Manger, Roussel Roumains and Roger Gaillard arrive in Italy. Much battle and death happens. Then finally the combined forces of the Papacy, Holy Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, Lombard principalities, Moorish Sicilians, Venitians and an angry merchant named Guido combine their armies into a 50,000 strong host for the battle of Alfredo.
    The alliance moves to surround the Normans using excellent manoeuvres, strategy and tactical planning. The Normans charge their force of 150 knights straight into the army without any prior planning. The Normans slaughter 25,000 men and scatter the rest.

    The Mamluks were among the very few enemies to defeat the Mongols in combat, and they were never conquered. The Mamluk institution had appeared in Islamic civilization in the eighth century as the Caliphs sought to create a military force that was loyal only to the Caliph and not to regional, tribal, or another personal ties. Most Mamluks were of Turkic origin, primarily because the Turks were viewed as better, or at least more natural, warriors than Persians and Arabs. Turks of nomadic origins possessed riding and archery skills from an early age, so that after purchasing them as slaves one only had to refine those skills. The Mamluks therefore became perhaps the most highly trained warriors in the medieval world. They seized power in Egypt in 1250 during the ill-fated Crusade of Louis IX (Saint Louis) and created a Sultanate that dominated Egypt and then Syria until the sixteenth century.

    Have you ever heard about the konni. They were cavalry units in the south balkan that specialised in skirmish combat in the hills and raiding.I dont know how they look like but it would be good to see them in one of your videos.
    Update:Upon looking further into it i think that most slavic cultures had their version of konni which in polish means mounted on horses.I first heard about the konni in Crusader Kings 2.

    The Turks, according to al-Jahiz, were a match to the Kharijites and the other groups mentioned earlier and excelled over them in their own ways. The Turks were as good as the Kharijites and the Khurasanis when it came to a frontal charge with spear and lance. However, the Turks had the advantage of being excellent at mounted archery, a skill that the Kharijites, Arabs, and Khurasanis lacked. The Turks could fire in every direction while riding a horse at full gallop. Al-Jahiz states that when one thousand Turk horsemen fired a single volley at the enemy they caused one thousand casualties. Mounted archery gave the Turks an advantage over almost all of their foes, they were able to either fully destroy their enemies with minimal contact, or weakened them to the point that they could not resist the charge that followed the arrow volleys. Furthermore, the Turks were as deadly when they retreated as they were when they attacked because they could fire their arrows just as accurately behind them when they were withdrawing from battle."

    In another part of the book he says that the Chinese used to refer to the king of the Turks as "The king of the lions".

    In short, it is hard to think of any other ethnolinguistic entity in history that conquered so vast a territory and founded so many empires and states, also contributing to world civilizations. The history of the Turkic peoples was an important factor in world history for more than a millennium until the emergence of Europe as the world's dominant power. What happened in the Turkic world often affected the history of China, Central Asia, the Middle East, South Asia, and Europe. One may also argue that world history began with the "Turko-Mongol" empire created by Chinggis Khan. In the contemporary world, Turkic-speaking nations form six states (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Turkey/Türkiye) and several "autonomous" units in Russia (the republics of Chuvash, Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Altai, Khakassia, Tuva, and Sakha) and China (the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region). Turkic peoples also reside as minority groups in several other countries, including Mongolia and Iran, among others. It would therefore be difficult to acquire a comprehensive understanding of world history as well as our present world without studying the history of the Turkic peoples.
