No one's going to talk about the chad chin in the thumbnail?
Great work! An interesting follow up to this battle that is told here in Augsburg, it that Ulrich immediately joined Otto to race to Schwabmuenchen, today a town of about 20,000 south of Augsburg, to raise a Magyar siege of that walled town, which they did. Enjoyed your presentation a lot!😊
I was scheduled to have a meeting in 20 minutes, but I saw a new HistoryMarche video that was 30 minutes. Rescheduled the meeting for tomorrow. PRIOTRTIES!
This dude truly deserves the moniker 'The Great'
Actually, when Charlemagne was crowned emperor by the Pope, that was the birth of the Holy Roman Empire.
Top video ver history of germans and magyars!!
Thanks!
RIP conrad the red
war was a big business in 'Europe' in past history
Your videos are really excellent and they manage to get me interested in reading more on stuff I didn't really care about before.
