Invasion of Western Europe (ALL PARTS) – Hungarian Conquest 899 – 955
The Magyars have always fascinated me, especially after their settlement of the Carpathian basin post 895 to 905. Their raids over the next 55 years reached as far as the Pyrenees and were successful enough that the Byzantine Empire and several other kingdoms chose to pay off the Magyars to gain relief from invasion. Their raids were finally brought to an end in 955 at the Battle of Augsburg when King Otto I of Germany defeated the Magyars.

Hello
Can you Montenegro Army
1500 1600 1700 1800 years ?
I think the rumors and stories from the small folk are my favorite part of these conflicts. I always wonder what the people of the time thought of all the constant war and violence around them. Was it like today where they never concerned themselves until it was on their door step, or did they live in constant paranoia and fear that raiders would turn up every year? Seems close to the ladder when you hear stories of “riders that never sleep sweeping through the countryside at night like wraiths”. I imagine just the sound of hooves coming up the road around sunset was enough to make most people dive in to the nearby bushes unless they were a group of armed men.
Wow. I really thought Louis the Child had em on that field. It really shocked me
great vid
Graves of Hungarian conquerors had Christian chest crosses, so may of them they already know Christianity. King Saint Stephen just adopted western style Christianity. Bulcsu was already baptized about 950 in Constantinople.
Maygars not white people were being Maygar Supramacists and extremely Xenophobic and Racist by doing all this invading of Europe.
I really like your type of explaining every battle with Details, tho i would be greatly appreciated if you considered a video about Perso-Roman wars if possible.
