Well done for videos. I personally think that Romanians are more connected to Slavic than to Roman(Latin) nations, just check out those names, Vlad which is actually shorter version of VladiSLAV - means ruler on most slavic languages, name of the city T(a)rgoviste means place where you trade, literary city center, you can find many more evidence that prove my point. Keep going more great clips!

Where do you get the music

Respect ! We really need to remember our brave worriors !I wish you many more historic european pages !

Thanks man, much appreciated.

couldn't have been done without his love of pointy sticks

Vlad the Well-Organised doesn't have the same ring to it.

His brutal efficiency extended to brutally and efficiently sending the message that corruption and thievery were not tolerated and Turks were not welcome. Lol

Yes, no cheapjacks, cheap Food ..

LMAO

Zellig Hhahahahahaha

Without''please''

That was probably the first emoji😂😂

@@Alex-er2nh 😂😂😂😂 almost pissed myself

Exactly what I thought while researching this.

Vicent Lazar That was also utterly evil and blood-thirsty. Killing the murderer? Fine. But each and every single one of the guy's soldiers? That's just bloodshed for bloodshed.

Vicent Lazar Besides, massacring civvies? What the fuck, Vlad?? On another point, why didn't Dan the IIIrd's soldiers try to at least fight and sell their lives expensively?

It is extreme by today's standards I agree, but back then such things were usual. He understood psychological warfare and wanted to send a message to his other opponents. Killing civilians was acceptable even in the western code of chivalry. Knights had no problem massacrating peasants. Only noblemen were spared if they could pay. Look up chevauchée s. Dan's soldiers were probably heavily outnumbered and surrounded. They probably hoped they would be spared if they don`t fight back.

It's about sending a message, plus they were traitors, and Vlad didn't like traitors. During his rule there are a few tales. The first one is the shortest, In Targoviste if I remember right, on a fountain there was a golden cup, which is said that during his rule the cup was never stolen. And the secound: A merchant lose a bag of 1000 forints, he came to the king and asked if anyone finds it to contact him, and the persone who finds it will recive 100 forints. After a while a man finds the bag, and brings it to Tepes, he contacts the merchant and is brought in front of the throne, to ensure that it is his, when he counted he tried to trick Vlad and the person who find it, and said "Oh I see you have taken your cut, ok then I will leave". But Vlad stoped him and asked if the man really took his cut from his bag, to which he replied that he didn't. Seeing that the merchant wants to trick him and the good person who helped him said :" Then this means that this is not your bag of forints, so I will keep it here with me until the real persone who lost this comes and claims it, and don't worry we will notify you if we ever find your bag of forints.

Pretty much, yes. His later years in prison and his last attempt at trying to take power are also awesome.

Thanks for stopping by. Now that I've finally finished the video I gotta see your Byzantine stuff, added it to my "to watch" list, but just had little to no time to sit back and watch it.

History Time Lmao. Yea he is our national hero. And now after 500 yers Romanians say "Come vlad to get rid of our politicians"

Duras80 that is the best thing I’ve ever heard

Love your videos too!

Vlad was the shit back in his days! Today he would be seen as a maniac perhaps...

Thank you for watching. I too like the history from the Balkan and Carpathian regions. But it was my patrons who chose Vlad Tepes and Targoviste. Before production on each video begins, I compile a list of battles that people requested and let my patrons choose.

HistoryMarche that’s a good idea

James Pilkinton - It's a frickin' great idea. Makes you want to become a patron.

I most likely will at some point, that's a quite interesting conflict.

HistoryMarche Then May I suggest Khan Krum the Horrible (or whatever the Byzantines called him after he made the emperors skull into a wine cup). Pretty decent ruler and all around badass. I could help with materials if you can't find enough in English.

I second this.

MoonlightEmbrace How about this one? He sneaks in otoman camp where 130000 are sleeping to kill the leader. A brave man.

The guy was some kind of special forces today. Even an american fb page with ex. seal/green berets posted about how bad ass he was.

Thank you, much appreciated. We had help from a cool Romanian guy, and Alex did an awesome job with the narration.

To me, the names sound 99% like in Romanian. I even wonder how they pronounce the names so good! Good job!

@@zyracxes9333 Meh they're closer than most people

@@zyracxes9333 The bigger travesty is him using the Russian Orthodox cross and not the Romanian one

Valid point.

You're welcome sir. Thank you for watching, I'm glad you found the video enjoyable.

Romanian people ??!?!!!??!? Romania was created in 1859 , not in the 13th century

Cool SP in 1859 the Kingdom of Romania was estabilished. Romanian people existed long before that

Cool SP Before 1859 there was Wallachia, Moldova and Transylvania, Romanian principalities. So Romanians were present there long before 1859. Romanians are native to this part of Europe.

There were people long before that, no doubt. The important part is how those people self-indicate.

Most leaders of that era were too wimpy to fight on their own. Vlad was trained in combat from a young age and had a very personal vendetta against the Empire he was sold to as an innocent child. God knows what they did to him. Kind of brought this on themselves.

Hilarious part is that much of his training and tactics used against the Ottomans were taught to him by themselves. Bet they regret that in the long run.

@Yilmaz Kilinc Typical gay muslim response

@@Zellig no one left to regret it xD

@Yilmaz Kilinc cool story bro. Do you know more cool stories? I like cool stories, please share more cool stories with us... bro

Many of romanian rulers made the same (Stephen the Great, Michael the Brave). We have many brave rulers. I expect a video with John the Brave (Ion Voda cel Cumplit). Was one of the bravest romanian rulers.

Wouldn’t that be a sight...

Thank you kindly. Alex did a great job with pronunciations in the voice over, and we've had help from Calin Cretu, a cool Romanian dude who checked all of our pronunciations. In the Battle of Vaslui video I was mostly responsible for the poor pronunciations, but thankfully we've improved :)

HistoryMarche no problem and actually all pronunciations were top notch not just that. Very nicely done video, sub.

You should've asked a Bulgarian for correct pronunciation of Търговище

LMAO

A history fact is that Vlad the Impaler was actually a role model for Ivan the Terrible. Ivan was a great diplomat and some of his cruel and diplomatic actions was inspired from Vlad. Another fact is that when Ivan was a child he was asking stories about Vlad and he was very impressed and excited. The best part is that Stalin was considering Ivan the Terrible the best leader that ever exist.

@@ionutflorinsirbu2342 Well, he wasn't wrong since Ivan the Terrible basically created Russia

Bit of an amateur compared to the Mongols, who when they stormed Baghdad killed every man, woman, child, and animal (down to the rats and mice) as a warning to others who might think of resisting!

Vlad had a noble cause. Ivan the terrible was just a garbage human being.

Thank you for the kind words. I hope to release Targoviste part 2 sometime during June.

If it's no trouble to you, share the video with your friends.

sure i will, you can count on me!

Love your videos Sir. Especially those with Romanian and Balkan history!

@Dastan JAn - Thank you very much.

Indeed.

Certainly. Despite being fluent in Turkish, it must've taken some nerve to pull that off.

Agreed. There are so many interesting topics that would be great on the movie screen, but we get Avengers and Transformers part 53...

Dracula Untold is the best version of the vlad story imo

There is also a Romanian movie called Vlad Tepes made in 1979 if you want to see it

Vlad Ţepeş (1979) Vlad the Impaler - The True Life of Dracula UNCUT [English subtitles] kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNeSlMp81trGcYU.html (press CC button for english subtitles)

Wow, I'm flattered to hear that. Thank you for your generous words.

Yeah because at school do not learn the real history .

Very kind words sir. Thank you very much. I too love the history of the Balkan and Carpathian regions, so I'll will surely do more videos about these parts in the future. Targoviste part 2 should be out sometime in June.

LOL, they teach you, if you want it an if you care to know more about your own country. They...who?! Do you think that in other countries everybody is learning everything about their country? That any professor is teaching kids about everything?

Ion Popescu mă refer la sistemul de educație de la noi. Pe partea de istorie. Nu ne învață decât cele mai vagi chestii la școală. Că de școală ziceam eu. Materia predată este aproape nimic. Eu sunt pasionat de istorie și o știu pe a noastră explicit, însă inca am lucruri care mă surprind. Istoria noastră nu este predată cum trebuie, extrem de multa este ascunsă, sau negată, la școală. La asta mă refeream. Nu ne zice nimeni de reformele lui Vlad de exemplu. Ne zice doar de vreo 2 bătălii și de reputația lui, nu ni se spune de strategii, de caracterul lui, etc.

A. OK, la asta așa e, adică ce se predă prin cele mai multe școli...Primară, generală, chiar liceu. Credeam acă la facultate. Acolo nu e chiar așa. Da, școala de la noi, în general, e cam tot pe sistemul ceaușist. totuși , există multe locuri în vest unde copiii sunt tot praf la istorie și la altele. Și peste ocean a scăzut calitatea învățământului comparativ cu alte decenii, se pare. Asta e...e bine că ești pasionat. Înseamnă că ți se trage din familie :) . Educația adevărată e mai mult ceva individual decât de masă, de sistem. sistemul e ..varză.

Te învață la facultatea de istorie. La școală nu are cum, trebuie diluată și condensată informația.

Thank you for watching. I truly appreciate your generous compliments.

Big + for the right prononciation of the romanian names or words!

It should be called the Tepes's Comet because he saw it first :)

Hehe, thanks. I should maybe pitch my script to them.

Thank you sir. Neither Alex, nor I speak a word of Romanian, so I truly appreciate your positive feedback. I tried to research proper pronunciations this time, I did a horrible job in the Vaslui video sadly. We also had help from a cool Romanian guy who corrected our pronunciations, and Alex did a fine job with the voice-over in the end.

For previous videos I should have been more thorough myself and not just depend on you / my own experience for pronunciations. Your script work is fantastic and having your Romanian friend check it was invaluable!

Best videos Sir. I love what you do and how you do it. You will always have a like from me and others at every video of Romanian history and of course at every video you release 👍! I think you're becoming one of my favorite KZfaqr already.

Thank you kindly sir. Glad you liked the video.

Putting lots of work, dedication and also love in these projects makes those videos to be my favorite. Great job and can't wait for next episode! I love how it let us imagine the geography, the terrain and the settlements back then.

was thinking that my self this si the first video ive watched and the map popped up i was like hey thats a nice touch

i liked the close up graphics too

He was a mad man and a psycho who is burning in hell for all the women and children killed. In the end he lost his dead and I have no sympathy for him. And you would be here if not for him. You’re implying that if Muslims rose we want to kill everyone, bullshit. In our religion non Muslims can go to heaven and Christians and Jews are people of the book.

Thank you very much for your generous words.

Man, thank you! You are great and you take time for minor details

Yes I too read similar things, how a young woman could walk along Wallachian roads alone while carrying a purse filled with gold, and she wouldn't be harmed due to the fact that Vlad virtually exterminated bandits and petty criminals.

Legend says in his tme was a fountain with a can made from gold for anybody to drink water. Nobody dare to steal it cos thievs and traitors were impailed. In that day when he died the can was stolen.

Thank you for watching.

❤️❤️❤️

Alex Jones isn't that smart.

^This. That's why I think that, while Vlad's rule was brutal, it wasn't because he was inherently a brutal man. In choosing to attempt to set Wallachia on a new course, he considered the brutal measures as a necessary evil for the benefit of Wallachia

ionicafardefrica I would consider him a murder

An excellent video but your 'opinion' that he was not by nature a cruel man is absurd. In a time more brutal than most his example of TERROR was exceptional. Even the Turks, the standard bearers of cruelty, saw him this way as in the end did his own people. Effective yes. Stalin was too but VERY brutal. Why the reality denial?? Don't reinforce today's resurgent ignorant reactionary nationalism and bigotry. (NOT cool, anymore than anti free speech Liberal PC is).

It seems only empires have the monopolistic right on efficient terror. Well, I'm sure Vlad learned first hand, from the Ottomans, how to do it, only he did it better. He went to both the Sandhurst and School of the Americas of his time simultaneously and apparently graduated first of his class, arguably besting even Stephen the Great or Michael the Brave in military strategy and tactics. You are wrong, Mago is not Romanian, so the "resurgent ignorant reactionary nationalism" is only in your head. The standard bearers of cruelty... hmmm, you probably never heard what crusaders did in Palestine or when they sacked Constantinople, to mention just a few examples already happened in Vlad's time. There are so many more, many without any military justification.

*autnocens* Vlad did learn about impaling from them but they used it as a SPECIAL punishment for traitors, Not en masse As for Crusader insanity I get accused of anti West propaganda even though the majority of evidence for Christian insanity (Jerusalem) and slaughter comes from the Christian writers of the time. Lastly i never said Mago is Romanian but this history attracts the worst sorts See other comments (see all the WW II neo Nazi fans)

Thank you sir. Glad you enjoyed the video.

hello from Romania...i agree with you...what past generations did in the past should not be used to hate people from the present

Hello, certainly, but some of you people, still live on the battle field, it is just annoying for everybody in this region, we should to renounce to our historical frustrations and develop our countries...

Ahh the great what if's of history. I've spent countless hours... days even, thinking about alternative history topics from various parts of the world. Part 2 should be release sometime during June.

Thank you sir, I do try to improve any aspect of how the videos look and feel. I've made changes bit by bit from one video to the next, and it's nice to see people notice and like the changes.

ROFL, before the battle coked up Alex Jones tells his men: "I'm animated, I'm alive! My heart's big, it's got hot blood going through it fast! I like to fight too! I like to eat! I like to have children! I'm here! I got a life force! This is a human, this is what we look like, this is what we act like! This is what everybody was like before us!

They've sent me their research papers, one of whom spent the last few years in Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey, going through local sources while researching this very topic. So I hope to re-shape my script and put in as many interesting details in the video from their work.
