🚩 “Deliver us, O Lord, from the arrows of the Hungarians” – A hymn from Modena, Italy c.900 AD. Brenta was one of the earliest battles of the Magyar invasions of Europe. Between 860 and 970, the Magyars were the scourge of Europe. They devastated and pillaged a wide swath of territory, from Bremen in the north, to Otranto in the south, and Orleans in the west, with some raiding expeditions reaching over the Pyrenees Mountains into Iberia.

Following up the careful reconnaissance that lead them to victory with a goofy attempt at fighting the venitians is key to keeping up the balance
I just stumbled upon this channel and I am really enjoying those videos. Nicely animated and a nice pace of bringing the content forward. And your voice for the narration is fantastic. Have you had professional training in narration? It sounds like the kind of narration I would expect to hear from a commercial production like walking with dinosaurs or other such documentaries.
I am subscribed and am looking forward for more videos! Thank you!
