- The Cumans, (Kunok in Hungarian), were a Turkic nomadic people who, after the Mongol invasion in 1237, took refuge and moved to Hungary in 1239.
The Hungarian Kings decided to allow the Cumans to live in their territories provided that they would fight in their army. In 1400, King Sigismund of Hungary came to power, deposing his brother Wenceslas IV of Bohemia, and took control of the Cuman Army. His first order was to burn to the ground every single settlement in Bohemia who didn’t accept him as the new ruler. Dozens of villages and cities were destroyed by the Cumans, Silver Skalitz being among them, raided and razed in 1403.
The Cumans first arrived in Czech lands in 1260. Under the leadership of the Hungarian Crown Prince Stephen they fought against Bishop Bruno and the army of the Austrian lords, which they thoroughly vanquished. The Cumans appeared for the second time in the 1270s, when they defeated the army of King Piemysl Otakar and went on to pillage Moravia.
They last invaded the Czech lands under Sigismund of Luxembourg, who could afford no better mercenaries than the Cumans. Estimates speak of several thousand fighters. One of the places that succumbed to their ravages was Silver Skalitz, the birthplace of our game 's hero.

....or so i've been told by brian, olena and vashek
Well, yeah, thats the truth. This video is fake news.
You forgot to mention the part where they mirdered my family. Ma, Pa, Deutch, Bianca, Hans, Olaf, Petyr, Wilhelm, the Bailiff. They are monsters.
That checks out.
Sorry for the insensitivity.

Oh, Henry has come to see us!
Niketas Choniates, a Byzantine historian, describes fighting style of the Cumans;
"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".

I'd play that 😂
They were nomadic not city dwellers
@@Brandonhayhew🤓
This was incredibly useful as a resource. The game doesnt really give much information about the cumans. After this video, I feel like I know everything I need to about the Cumans.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Currently playing through KCD but I'm glad that they don't go into detail from an immersion point. Why would a lowly peasant like Henry know about them? And why would highborn/knights tell Henry of such matters? It keeps them as the boogeymen in Bohemia! But I agree, a great video to fill in the details!
Did you read the books available in game? Quite a lot of info about cumans there, from what I remember.
Cubans are similar to Tatars, Turkish, Kazakh, Chuvash and other Turkic groups
There are acctually books about them in the game. Same about wensceslas and... even more dumber things like one about how everyone is fhe bad guy etc.
I'm very proud of my Cuman-Kipchak heritage but I can't believe my ancestors could kill Henry's parents 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Lol that was pretty normal back in Europe, They had the most wars in history by continent.
You're Kazakh? Or Tatar?
@@itzikashemtov6045 Haha I'm just joking about that, I'm not ashamed of any part of my heritage
@@user-xw7fb2og4p My Cuman heritage comes from my father. And my father's side has both Tatars and Kumyks. Kumyks live in Dagestan in Northern Caucasia. So no Kazakh, Tatar and Kumyk.
@@Egumen1 I'm Kazakh, but in general we all Turkic)))
When you are a Kıpçak (Cuman) Turk and you suddenly become the baddies in your favorite game :(
But at least they are interesting baddies. And really only subjectively bad from the Bohemian point of view. From the Hungarian point of view, the cumans are effective mercenaries.
Dont blame the scorpion for stinging you. Blame the one who put it in your boot.
Well, at least Henry admits they appear far more civilized, than their own bandits
Same ı feel sorry when ı kill , loot then takeing my own ancestors ears to Sir Robard.
Their armour look so cool and prob provide superb protection for their way of fighting
Seriously, Turkic clans and tribes are a bit underrated in Pax Mongolia era. They really mixed things up with their migrations and mercenary work. By the way, I can really understand what the writing at 4:15 says, as a Turk. It's clear as day, Lord's prayer.
The suffixes and certain sounds are different than modern Turkish but if you are familiar with Anatolian Turkmen dominated rural areas' dialects, you'll not have a problem whatsoever
почти казакша гой
My major complaint with kcd is that they didn't do more with the cumans. Nomadic steppe raiders are such an interesting foil to the setting and people of the game. It could have been a lot more interesting. They aren't even really relevant after the beginning of the game and they don't even ride horses in combat after the skalitz invasion
@@Stephen-uz8dm It's because the written documentation is scarce and most of it are written by their adversaries I suppose.
And a lot of concepts for settled warfare, is just ain't there for nomads.
I was once watching a video about steppe warfare, and the ''expert'' was insisting that a bunch of nomads can't be good at ''holding positions''
Which sounds a reasonable argument, right? But why would a steppe horse archer army even want to hold a position? They usually give ground and flee under charge instead of facing it head on
Are there lots of Turkic/Turkish Christians today? If so, what regions do they live in?
@@luongo7886 Gagauz in moldova and bashkirs in russia
The blomde hair and blue eyes combo caught me off guard. I was not expecting that. This video is the most awesome.
Glad you liked it!! I also found that detail to be interesting.
Well there are a lot of blue eyed Turkic people specifically Turkish people. Its not rare for Turkish people to have blue eyes or green eyes
@@jonjonboi3701 Those contemporary blond/blue eyed 'specifically Turkish people' are the result of the Ottoman empire occupying Slavic lands in which there are and were many blue-eyed people. I agree with him that in the early middle ages it would be highly improbable to find to find an Asiatic people fresh from the steppes and beyond the Urals with blond hair and blue eyes.
@@jimdawes4551 Blue eyes and blonde hair are not exclusive european features.
You're forgetting that before the mongol and turkic expansion much of central Asia was inhabited by indo european peoples and this includes steppe people such as the Scythians and Khazars (who were majority ginger) the Huns, Magyars all the way to the Cumans one of the last Indo european steppe people.
The mongol invasions drove many indo european people from central Asia and into Europe.
As a Kazan tatar who live in Russia, i would like to say hungarians and some nationalities who places in Russia have similar languages and same words. Most similar is Khanty-Mansy (because of one languages group), then coming chuvash and tatars with how i heard, we have some similar words with one meaning.
And i want to say my text can have grammar mistakes, because of english lessons on Russians school is not so good then they can be, and this reason why i prefer teaching by myself.
So please, be patience when you read my text.
That is very interesting, but makes sense. Many peoples of the Steppe would settle in much of what is now Russia, so Russian is likely a derivative of at least some of them.
@@ParryThis yeah. Like USA with their american and native American, we have rossiyane (citizens of Russia) and russians (slavics)
@@ParryThis no. Russian is slavic, not derivate of steppe peoples

Love them or hate them, they played a role in stopping the Mongols
Cumans managed to stop mongols, yet they were short against one Skalitz blacksmiths son
@@ExtremeMan10 lol
@@Anonymous-ek2rh I agree with you but you stated it as if it was easy
@@Anonymous-ek2rh again my point was that these people weren't predestined to win
They had to work hard and make use of smart tactics to achieve what they did. Your making it sound as if it was an auto win and I know you know this is a stupid idea. The Delhi did win but they tried multiple times to attack mongol land outside of India and it always failed which means Delhi doesn't always win. The mameluks still lost a battle to the mongols so it's not this magic video game hard counter and tamerlane basically was a mongol but both the dehli and tamerlane were fighting a fractured pathetic version of what the mongol empire was. Only the mameluks really fought a united mongol empire so their victory stands far above the others
@@ExtremeMan10 does that mean this son of a Skalitz blacksmith is stronger than the horde? if only he was born earlier.
I'm Bulgarian and my family tree /300 years old/ can be traced to the village Cumans near the Turnovo/capital of second bulgarian kingdom/.now there are only 2 inhabitants in that village.I came here to find out , who possibly my ancestors were :) .great video
Stop telling stories, you idiot! The descendants of the Cumans are Kazakhs and Crimean Tatars, but since there are fewer Crimean Tatars and they do not have statehood, today there is only Kazakhstan, the Kazakhs have a tribe of Kipchaks, of which we have almost 2 million and they are the most direct descendants of the Cumans. Now tell me, do you have a Kipchak tribe and what is its size?
Cumans 🇰🇿
send me your location so i can send you back to Sigismund
I don't know much about the Cumans. All I know is they have a great spice that's sure to bring zest to any meal!
Thats true. An excellent addition to any meal.
I'm cumin to that conclusion as well 🤔

In 1060-1200 Ukraine wasn't a nation nor a kingdom. It just wasn't a concept then
It was just wild fields

@@tylerclayton6081 We need to go back to Yaroslav the wise, let me be brief....
@@tylerclayton6081 I didn't, fck Putin. It's not about where Ukraine stems from, it's even about the word itself that wasn't invented 800 years ago. Unfortunately, presenting false history is common nowadays and it is needed to remind about facts. It's like considering tribal US indians as first USA pioneers. Or saying that China is culturally equal to Taiwan while the original chinese culture persisted in Taiwan, not in communist, continental China. Some countries are just younger than others, no need to feel pain about it
Still today you can find people in Hungary that knows they are Kumans and some knew Turkish a generation ago.
Hungary even had radio broadcasting in Turkish some time ago!
Kumanova in macedonia is from them!
4:13 I can read and understand this writings as an Anatolian Turkmen. This surprised me!

well a few things to add. in Hungary even novadays there are 2 counties which has got the name Kun/Cuman in it were privileged territories for a few centuries.
This is what I needed to feel closer to Henry
Really helps you get in his headspace.
I wish there was a dlc where you play as a cuman soldier. Well, lets hope they do it in a sequel!
Informative, well done
Glad you liked it
I am a descendant of the great Cumans 🇰🇿
Kumandin people of Siberia (another Turkic people) are probably descendants of eastern Cumans. Most of Cuman descents living in Hungary (as Catholic). Some are in Egypt (as Sunni Muslim) from Mamluk era and Moldovia (as Orthodox Gagauz). I also think that Cumans did not speak a single language. They spoke various Turkic languages. Eastern was Kipchak-Kyrgyz or a Siberian Turkic language and western was Cuman-Kipchak language.
It is likely that the languages adopted by these peoples would be regional, just given how many of them there are/were that are spread out across so much land.
@@ParryThis you are right
cuman-qypchaq tribes are living now in many turkic countries, Kazakhstan, Tatarstan, Uzbekistan etc. Also there are for example lithuanian Tatars, this ethnicity also is made of many tribes and one of them as i know is Qypchaq.
@@ParryThis Only few of Cumans are in Hungary. There are 2 cities in Hungary that Cumans live in, Cumans are Turkic (both language and genetic). Cumans in Hungary forgot Turkish, because when they became christian (from Tengrism which s known as one God belief), they also married with Hungarians so language could not continue in next generations, but there s a historical praying in Cuman Turkish in Hungary i it s very understandable with Turkish. Mahmud Kashgari who wrote first Turkish dictionary in 1072 named Diwan Lugat Türk, knew all Turkic dialects. He told about Turkic tribes with their name meaning and where they live in. He says Cumans are a Turkish tribe. He explains Kuman (cuman) word in Turkish (as he tells all Turkish words in his dictionary. And he knew Turkic tribes with their tamga (symbols ). They used these symbols (put on animals) to differ their animals from other tribes not to mix.also on swords etc, and also on grave stones,
@@PimsleurTurkishLessons "turkish" only refers to the Turks of Turkey and surrounding regions. Cumans are Kipchak turkic not Oghuz.
Very interesting
Glad you think so!
Cumans arrived in Europe in the 10 century. They frequently crossed the Byzantine borders. On some occations they aslo became their allies against other tribes.
Correct, as a tribal people, certain groups would hire out as mercenaries and would fight for whoever paid them, against whoever they wished.
Cumans arrived in europe in the 1060s 😀
In Hungary: Kun (Cuman), Kunos (Cuman like)
Is a common family name. I know many Kun in my work place.
Village and town names like
Kiskunfélegyháza, Kiskunhalas, Kunsziget, Kunszentmárton, Kunszentmiklós, Kunmadaras, Kunhegyes etc.
@wratch i never said im a Cuman descendant.
My family is from "Upper Hungary" 😂😂😂, so i think im mostly a slav...
I just said how many Cuman towns and family names in hungary...
@wratch Read again before replying or even better learn to read. He is not saying any of that.
@wratch King Ladislaus the Cuman of Hungary, who was raised by the Cumans, identified as one, wore their clothes and had a Cuman hairstyle, said that the Cumans, Hungarians and the Huns are the same people, and that the Cumans practiced the original religion of the Hungarians. He might've been wrong regarding some of that, but it shows the us the views the Cumans would've had on the Hungarians.
Cool fact. Also keep in mind that the surname Kun, was usually given to a person who left a Cuman community or region associated with them, the people who lived in those areas didn't all receive those surnames. So there's probably a lot more people with Cuman origin.
@wratch I recognise that Crimean Tatars are descended party from Cumans, but there definitely is Cuman heritage in Hungary. Hungarians are in fact white Europeans and always have been but Cuman and other shared heritage with Turks exist. I don't see what your problem is with that. Also, the Huns definitely had partial Scythian ancestry and admixtures which is also true for the Hungarians, it's evident in the language.
love this vid will soon be as big as game theory
I still play this game none stop..
Thanks for informing me that these are indeed the KCD bad guys.
As a Balkan Turk I really enjoyed this one. It sometimes surprises people when they learn there are caucassian (white) looking Turks. But we existed ever since Attila first stepped foot into the Balkans and some say even before that. Since Turks originate from Siberia (according to some sources) we look more caucassian than other Asian people. Not to mention how we mixed with the local Slav, Thracian, East Germanic population. This was really well detailed, great job man.
its because europeans are very ignorant when it comes to this. they think they are special and no one outside of europe can have blue eyes or blonde hair.
half of my family has blue eyes and blonde hair and we literally came from the east and have no mixing with westerners.
@@Valkyrawyou're assuming. Many westerners understand people in the east can have blonde hair. Don't generalize
You are white because the entire Ottoman army was kidnaped european children
@@youdontseeanoldmanhavinatw4904 The thing is most of people assume Anatolian Turks as different. Even though they have alot of asian ancestry infact some look very asian
@@youdontseeanoldmanhavinatw4904It only comes from mixing
Hungarians called the Cumans Kun and there are two county in Hungary bears the name today. Kiskunság és Nagykunság and many city names contain Kun, like Kiskunhalas(Small cuman fishery)
I would love to see them do a Crusade. Show us the other side of things. They were the culmination of sentiments from those that had experiences like Henry, and they went on to treat those they invaded just as poorly.
“Blond” cumans is a late myth based on incorrect interpretation of their ethnic name.
They called themselves Sari-kipchaq (yellow kipchaqs) and so their Slavic neighbours called them “Polovtsy” (yellows) and some dumb historians attributed to the colour of their hair.
In nomadic steppe cultures, colours often denote either cardinal direction (north, south, centre etc) or colours of their banners. No peoples call themselves by the colour of their hair, otherwise the Irish would call themselves “reds”.
While some of them could indeed be blond due to gene flow from Slavs, majority would have dark hair and black eyes. Their appearance would be closer to modern Bashkirs & Kazakhs, who are their direct descendants
Awesome
I can't stop thinking about Kahante
im a Cuman from turkey proud to be Turkic!
That is awesome.
Im Kaman... wondering if this is my family ? Im in USA ...
Same for the Khanateee!
Stop telling stories, you idiot! The descendants of the Cumans are Kazakhs and Crimean Tatars, but since there are fewer Crimean Tatars and they do not have statehood, today there is only Kazakhstan, the Kazakhs have a tribe of Kipchaks, of which we have almost 2 million and they are the most direct descendants of the Cumans. Now tell me, do you have a Kipchak tribe and what is its size?

8:46 anyone know what this is called, the name of the piece?
Spicy video 😉
A little.
Nice content. I would like to add, in fact, the most famous victory of the Cuman-Kipchaks was against the Mongols in the battle of ayn-jalut in 1260.
tiny ass battle against only 20,000 mongol border guards not even against a full mongol army.
@@teovu5557 "only 20,000 mongols" lol, It's funny that you underestimate the importance of the Battle of Ayn-Jalut while historians do not discuss it.
Even in the Battle of Stirling Bridge, for which an epic movie was made with a huge budget, 5000 people fought against 10000 people. The Mongols were the superpower of their time and 20000 of them was "only" in your opinion.
3:14 , the Pechenegs are another type of Turkic People but also the name of a gun as shown but the gun got his name from the tribe. Anyway, the Pechenegs went to Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary before the Cumans because they were pushed by the Cumans.
No, he wasn’t prince Kuthen. The warlord who Bela IV met was Khotyan Khan.
Kuthen was murdered in Hungary, Khotyan Khan would lead most of the Cuman people after his death, if i am not mistaken.
No, it's just a different transcription of the same name. We don't know who was exactly the ruler of the Cumans in Hungary after Kutjens death, most probably Seyhan/Zeyhan
There are still descendants of cumans in west Kazakhstan primarily known as Junior Juz.

I made my family tree years ago and then psihogenealogy. I'm romanian, but my origins are not so romanian( dacian and roman mixt).

They were mercenaries of the King Milutin of Serbia. Cumans settled in a town that still holds their name, Kumanovo (now North Macedonia). Kumanovo literally means Cuman's (town or place).

YEET
YOTE
The Cumans actually evolved their fighting style to what the Mongols did to them and they learned, adapt and overcame their enemies the same way the Mongols did. Some even argued that the Mongols were actually mixed Chinese with Turko-Caucasian people that had stayed on the steppes. That's besides the point tho.
The Cumans and Kipcheks were strong horsemen that often raid China from time to time and when the Mongols went after them, they failed to mount an actual defense and fell to Genghis. However, even with the Cuman-Kipchek Alliance falling, many Cumans that survived took what they learnt and utilized it against the Mongols themselves or against other potential enemies as it works and they saw how a well-armoured Kievan Rus knights gets slaughtered by the Mongol horde on horseback and from there, they learnt.
It was even recorded that the Cumans best strategy was what the Mongols liked to use the most and that's the "feint retreat" where they sent their light cavalry towards enemy lines, pelt them with arrows or skirmishes then retreat to a faux position that already had an ambush in an effort to lure their enemies out to fight them but instead lure them deep into the well placed ambush and got rid of every single one of the now ensnared enemy. That was the Cuman's best move.
Also, the Cumans are warlike but they're not as brutal as people said. In war, brutality always comes into play but the Cumans were in fact as civilized as the next Christian lords of that time but it's just that because they were from "the outside", no one believed them to be civilized but treated them as tyrants and what-not.
Like you said, it wasn't until Bela reinvited the Cumans back to Hungary that did they fully show that despite being a warlike council, they're great at civil stuff, just like the Mongols and the Golden Horde.
No. Cumans didn’t “learn from Mongols”. Steppe peoples had been using the same battle tactics for thousands of years.
@@precursors They did learn from the Mongols.
The sole reason on why early on that the Cumans & Kipchecks lost to what will become the Golden Horde early on was because yes, both culture were cavalry focused forces but the Cumans were using an unorthodox European style where instead of keeping the cavalry as a shock unit backup, they sent their units in frontal charge but adapt to find gaps and encircle the enemy.
That shit won't fly with the Mongols as at that point of time, they were already adept to the fighting style of the Chinese which were almost the same to the Cumans when it came to cavalry warfare and with the Mongols often pulling back after a skirmish only for the Kipcheck-Cuman alliance warriors to step into the killing zone of the Mongols that the Kipchek-Cuman alliance lost hard.
It wasn't until at least a decade later where the Cumans could find a proper home in the Bulgaria, Hungarian and Bohemian region that did they rebuild their own clans and adapted to the fighting, roaming combat style of the Mongols that they turned the tide against the western armies that often tried to get rid of them or the Golden Horde that kept trying to rid them too.
