Error in the first 10 seconds. Murat died at battle of Kosovo too.

@@maxmagnus777 Yes, the first Murad.

I was in Belgrade this time last year, loved the fortress! Hated the air pollution ha ha!!

@@MrRobfullarton Unfortunately that's almost all built in the 18th century (not that it's not impressive!). Also check out Alba Iulia (Gyulafehervar) if you like YUGE star forts... Same time you can see Hunyadi's tomb, also to be found there.

​@@pikeshotBattles Yes, I checked it out, its impressive, it looks a little like Petrovaradin fortress in Novi Sad, Vojvodina.

Greetings from Hungary Bro!

Mihovil Raboteg Greetings

Thank you!

matyas and janos were both of the hunyadi family.

They couldn't defeat the powerful ottoman empire

@just an autistic shitposter maybe because Vlad killed a lot of germans and hungarians in South Transylvania.

Ironic how none of the great Hungarians in history were Hungarian

The Vereb family derives itself directly from the Vereb-Hunyadi family in Mátra-Verebely. According to all these, János Hunyadi came with the conquering Hungarians from the Besenyő tribe, its Vereb family. Dénes Beke, a researcher, has collected a number of valuable pieces of information.

Check out the pinned than. I wrote some additional info.

It's already in my plans.

Your maps are wrong. Namely Serbia

Yes... Indeed.

You are the only ones who defeated the Ottomans, but the Serbs joined with the Ottomans

@@attila3231 Bro Hunyadi was a Vlach family from Wallachia that moved to Transylvania, all contemporary sources agree on that

@@vatravlahilor492 Royal diplomas prove the origin of the Hunyadians, Vereb (in Lénár Fráter's book "The Hungarian Origin of Hunyadi in Diplomas") has already been documented (1227). “György Vereb raised his first son, Peter, to serve in the royal court. This is how Peter came to King Louis the Great. The king undertook the service of Miklós Laczfy in Transylvania. He held this position between 1360 and 1368. He was wounded in battles against the Vlajko Oláh voivode by the Iloncsa River (1368). "We don't know his wife's name, some say Zapolya was a girl." Peter moved back to his ancient homeland around 1380 and lived there until 1403. He is buried there in the rebuilt church. The following is recorded on the tombstone placed in the wall of the Mátra-Verebely Parish Church: HIC REQIESCIT CORPUS STRE (nui) IMVI (eti) MILITIS MAG (ist) RI PET (ri, filii) (Geor) GY. OLI (m) VICEVAIVODAE T (ranssilvaniae) FU (n) DATO (r) IS HUI (us) E (cclesiae) “The year in the circular. On the lower half of the tombstone is a cross, on the upper part is the coat of arms, with the well-known and legendary image of a bird, the raven. CANONICA VISITATIO, page 96, quoted by Lénár Fráter, quoted in the book, dated '1789, preserves the origin of János Hunyadi from Verebély, stating that he is a blood relative of King Matthias buried there. Thus, the Vereb family already had (1403) documented kinship with the Hunyadians, namely King Matthias, as the author of the book says, "grandfather and grandson."

@@vatravlahilor492 The tombstone in Verebély was also described by Iván Nagy in Felsőgyőr in his 1865 book "Families of Hungary". Vereb khan around 990 Stephanus (1180) Zacharias (1227) John (1250) George (1300) Peter (1350) John (1386). The Zápolya (Szapolyai) girl from Slavonia was not the wife of an unknown Vojk, but of Peter (1330). He quotes, among other things, the diploma of magnifying and decorating the coat of arms of King László V., dated 1453: used .. "(This text is quoted from the diploma found on Teleki: 10, K. 365 pages). Thus, according to the text, the previous kings gave the Hunyadi family and their ancestors the right to use the coat of arms, and were born into the Hunyadi Hungarian noble family. Also looking for where the coat of arms leads? This travels to the Sparrow family by the aforementioned coat of arms. But he also confirms his belief in the tombstone in the church in Verebely, with a coat of arms featuring the legendary bird, the raven, at the top. The tombstone is in Hungarian: "Here lies the body of the fearless, invincible soldier, Master Peter, son of George, former Transcendental Transylvania, founder of this church, who died in 1403." "We meet John in Transylvania in 1425 (DL. 11 716)." “This John receives a property donation from Ulászló in 1441 .. (transcribed from the authentic place of Jászó). It is as follows in these documents: "Johannes, filius Vojvodae de Verebel." “The Hunyadi name is for him. received from a donated castle ... " The documents and particulars given above certify that: First János Hunyadi, grandson of György Vereb and Péter Vereb's fourth son came from the El Shur family of the Besenyő nation at the time of the conquest, the Khan tribe of Vereb. Second The family probably bore the name Vereb until the time of King Sigismund, 1416. Third The Hunyadi name was taken up by John, the fourth son of Peter, around 1416, from the name of the Hunedoara Castle he had designed and built, returning from Paris' route.

the sounds so peppy

They didn't care any more than previous crusaders coming through these lands cared. The point being made was that while not Catholic they were still Christians who formed the majority of the civilian population being raided not any variety of heathen. The veneer of religious legitimacy given to these raids by claiming they were heathen is the only sense in which they would care.

Yes, technically that's true.

It's an understandable slip history books are still littered with that kind of language.

Hmm....and you think ravage and pillage was first time in history? If war exist or any conflict ,those will happen.

It's the supposedly noble motive that is being referenced.

The Byzantine stopped the standing army in the XIth century. Hence Alexis I asking the pope for mercrenaries in the 1090s, triggering what would become the first crusade

Yes you can make that point... But in this Late Medieval/Renaissance period the Ottomans were really the first. I don't know what the state of things were with the Byzantines, but even if they had a standing army, it would have been so insignificant, that it can't really be counted.

Paul Fournet The Pronoia system wasn’t feudal. The land grants (Pronoia) were all held by the Emperor and leased to various aristocrats who acted as military commanders and got a portion of its revenues. The titles weren’t hereditary until the Palaiologoi, and even then the lands weren’t considered private property but more as public domain. Equating the pronoia system with contemporary feudalism is a misnomer.

@@pikeshotBattles The number of regular standing army in Ottoman Empire was small.

@@pikeshotBattles Many states had small standing armies at one point or another. I mean King Alfred the Great had one in the 9th century. While history books say that Oliver Cromwell started it that's because the army stayed a standing army from that time but it was far from the first in England or Europe. You can't say the size doesn't matter... That's just giving excuses for getting it wrong. I mean even the most basic source check says they were one of the first since Rome...

This is as controversial as Columbus's origins. Romanians would claim that indeed Hunyadi's father, Voik was Romanian (or Vlach). Hungarians would claim that he was Cuman. Wallachia was founded by Cuman nobility who ruled over the native Vlachs. Almost nothing is known about his mother other that she came from a noble family from Hungary. (This in part fueled the Sigismund's bastard conspiracy) Janos Hunyadi himself was born in Transylvania. His wife was of Hungarian baronial extraction, so Matthias is unanimously accepted as Hungarian.

Its interesting, as I had never heard of him before, amazing soldier, and his victories too, were impressive!

I am a romanian myself, and we where all teach that he was Romanian, but this was after the revolutionary nationalism and the communist propaganda(where everything was sacred dacian or wallachian at roots) but even here we got many historians now getting more proof that most of the early rules of the romanian principalities where most likely cuman turks at origins who adopted orthodoxy and merged with the romanian(wallach) major ethnical group(even if this theory has a lot of enemies because would imply that we where ruled by invading nomad elite class). So he is most likely a mixture of wallachian, cumanic, and hungarian like many early romanian nobles, but that is the case for most balkan rulers, since mixing nationalities and dynastic unions between local rulers of different ethnicity was very common.Only the revolutionary 19 century created that idea of single nationality origins.Consider the army composition and reduce it to a family structure and you can get an idea of how nobles where around that time in the balkans.Also most of the sultans had many european wives so they also have alot of christian blood in them

He was born in Hungary, in Kolozsvár Transylvania, his mother hungarian, and his father was a cumanian nobleman

It is also a good point to make, that nationality wasn't the same back then, in the Kingdom of Hungary there were no other nobles than Hungarian nobles (except Croats of course). So if someone was a noble, then he was a Hungarian noble. I actually think this is a nice way of uniting all origins. The term of Hungarian in today's meaning can be debated, but at that time he would've called himself a Hungarian (nobleman).

It'd be STRONK

@@javierperalta7648 I wish it was. I really do. It could be a good fanfiction or alternative history.

I'd wager they would have been conquered by Hungary/Austria or Russia. Being a medium sized state is always dangerous, since you are big enough to be a target, but not strong enough to defend yourself from a prolonged assault.

Haha, I might just do that!

He didn't get a lot of help from the Poles. In this time the Ottoman threat was still far away, so most nobles considered the crusade a Hungarian affair.

One army get destroyed and run way and other take over the field , by the way they couldn't talk the body of their king so tell me who won ! The kings die it doesn't matter as Long as the prince in battle.

Not right Ottomans won... Murad 1 was assassinated after he won the battle.. And his son Bayezid continued his military expansion in Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary and Nicopolis

After battle at Kossovo ,Servians become the best and most loyal vassals to the Ottomans they fought alongside Ottomans at the battle at Rovine against Wallahians lead by Mircea the Elder in 1395. Against crusaders at Nicopolis 1396.Servian knights under the command of Stefan Lazarević proved critical to lost of that battle.At the battle of Ankara 1402 again supported Bayazid. In 1444 Servs did not send support to Janos Hunyadi and Vladislav on the crusade which ended in Varna 1444. Though a year earlier they were freed by Hunyady. It will be not a mistake to write that the Ottomans become such power with the Servian military assistance. Google the battles.

This is a theory like the Dacian-Romanian theory, so 0%.

@@attila3231 100% bc its stated in all medieval documents about him and 0% say and that he is hungarian bc everyone knew he wasnt lol

Janos Hunyadi together with Serbs fought against Ottomans. Serbs&Hungarians!

@@hopeindarktimes9535 Yes, we converted.. so what? You ever heard of Gjërgi Kastrioti Skanderbeg? Also, Serbian kings literally sold their daughters to the Ottomans, and some of their kings even made an alliance with Ottoman forces.

You forget mention that Lazar constantly attacked Hungary's southern territory between 1382-89, taking advantage of the previous dynasty death.

@@laszlopalasti8056 Lazar was magnate (and a kingmaker) of a Bosnian-Serbian king Tvrtko, who had complicated and rather antagonistic relationship with Angevin dynasty. So Lazar-Hungarian relationship has to be viewed in that light. Those border skirmishing weren't serious warfare, and were in essence business of the day for the epoch. In any case, Hungarian crown showed persistent strategic shortsightedness, not understanding that relatively stable border states like Bosnia, Moravian Serbia and Wallachia would be of significant importance as buffer areas between Hungary and Turks, while they wouldn't be strong enough to pose a serious threat to Hungary itself. Instead they got Turks right on their Danubian border with constant raiding's by akinjis.

weel? xD

No,he was Romanian,father of John Hunyadi(Iancu of Hunedoara),Vajk(Voicu)was born in Wallachia.

He was Hungarian!!!!
