More Information
0:40 Here I show the old Hungarian alphabet which was derived from the old Turkic alphabet. The Hungarians most likely adopted this alphabet from the Khazars.
0:48 I used the Hungarian Turul to symbolize the Hungarians in this video.
0:58 The Kingdom of Doclea technically never fully incorporated its areas so Bosnia, Zahumlje and Rascia principalities acted as semi autonomous areas, however since this would be too hard to draw I just put them under the Kingdom of Doclea which they technically where under.
0:58 The Kieven Rus was technically divided in to three parts during this time but it was still jointly ruled as a single kingdom by the Yaroslavichi triumvirate.
3:14 There are no sources in existence that can tell us the exact (there are some that can tell us roughly) locations of these tribes. We only know they existed in that area around this time, so I try my best in the video to put them where it would make the most sense but remember this may be wrong.
3:50 It is unknown when exactly the Pechenegs crossed the Khazar Khaganate to settle on its western border. However we do know that it happened due to the Khazar joined attack on the Pechenegs by the Ouzes which forced the Pechenegs to march across the Khazar lands somewhere between 830 to 850 to get away from the Ouzes.
4:58 It was more of a gradient to be exact.
5:27 The first certain European written records. There are some very brief mentions of Hungarians in Arabic writings from 810.
6:00 Annales Bertiniani
6:36 Plus to get to Francia the Hungarians had to cross Moravian controlled territory which wouldn't be possible if they didn't get an approval from the Moravians.
7:26 Most sources about this event point to the small Hungarian raid on Frankish Pannonia and wrongly conclude that the Hungarian alliance with the Franks ended and they fought along side the Moravians in 894 but as we see later the Hungarian alliance with the Franks didn't end until Arnulf's death. Meaning this raid was either made up or more likely was conducted accidentally by a not so loyal Hungarian tribe while the Hungarians raided the Moravian lands.
7:12 It is unclear how Svetopluk died but in the Annales Fuldenses the writer implies he had a "most unlucky death" in some kind of a battle.
7:22 I put Predslav in a question mark because it is uncertain whether he really existed but the other two sons are very much known and recorded in Frankish sources.
8:54 Obviously this source is over-exaggerating a bit as some of the Hungarians already started to migrate across the Carpathians in 895 hence not "all" woman and children where killed in the Pecheneg attacks.
9:34 He wasn't trying to subdue the area that was a mistake on my part mixing up dates of HRE conquest of northern Italy. Arnulf was just using the Magyars to fight against the current Italian king Berengar.
10:23 Moravians also became vassals of the Franks for a brief 2 year period during this time.
10:23 We don't know when exactly we just know it was between the years of 901 and 907.
10:26 Or in 905, it is unclear in the sources.
12:12 It is still debated which one was which but I went with the more accepted answer among the Historians.
12:19 To be honest he was a child so even though in the sources it claims it was his idea it most likely was cooked up by his nobles/regency council.
12:58 He did not participate in the battle.
14:50 It is speculated that the Franks had around 60K troops and the Hungarians around 20K troops but these are only speculations based on numbers cited in other Frankish and Hungarian wars/battles.
