    The map is unfortunately not correct, the settlement east of Pressburg (Pozsony/Bratislava) is Nagyszombat/Trnava instead of Szombathely. Szombathely/Savaria lies roughly 100 km south of Wien.

    Love the videos HistoryMarche. I did notice an error: the shape of the Danube visible at 8:00 contains elements that were altered by human engineering after the events in the battle. The polygonal shapes in the river to the East of Pressburge are ship building and maintenance facilities near the modern city now named Bratislava. These elements are visible in google earth: www.google.com/maps/@48.1349842,17.1392461,14z. I know that this is a minor error in a very good video and you probably make the maps based off of google earth. I just thought I would bring this to your attention.

    The most important thing, which is overlooked by most people, is that the early Hungarian horse archers were so effective, because they were not soldiers. Most of them were warriors or shepherds. According to sources they learnt how to ride the horse in their early childhood, even before they could walk. Archaeologic evidences proves that they started to train with the bow as soon they were old enough to hold it. Basically they launched campaigns against the Western and Eastern countries every year, so they were quite experienced in fighting. They operated in smaller tactical units, the members were bonded together by countless battles. They had a lot of horses, so they could swap to fresh horses several times during a battle.

    to be fair, this was before them Mongols and Seljuks, so only the Parthaians and Huns would have pulled it off against a European nation. Ironically, the Mongols successfully faint retreated the Hungarian army and the battle of Mohi is almost identical to their second battle in this video, with the mongols crossing the Danube at night and raining arrows over the Hungarian camp.

    Feigned retreats are misunderstood. I can tell you, for example, that I will attack your flank and functionally there is nothing you can do to stop that. When a more mobile army retreated you had two options: 1) Stay put 2) Follow. If you stayed put that "retreating army" will continue to rampage through your lands.

When the besiegers of Mantua appear out nowhere behind Wurmzer's left, I always imagine Napoleon going like : "Don't you love it when a plan comes together." I know it wasn't a very thoroughly successful battle, but Napoleon did inflict a crushing defeat on Austrians. This is my favorite battle in the Italian campaign. For a few reasons: +Some weeks before Castiglione Napoleon faced an enemy twice his size. +The Austrians decided to devide their army into two and these would converge at Napoleon. Napoleon couldn't lift the seige of Mantua as then that would expose his twenty-five thousand army's rear to twelve thousand Austrians in Mantua. + But he did it, he employed the strategy of defeat in detail so beautifully that within a few days, the Austrians had to prepare a whole new army to fight Napoleon.

You cannot just follow the river all the time, especially when you march 20 000 people including heavy armoured units, because there is no highway along the river banks. So, you walk in a certain distance from the river, you don't necessarily see it at all and then you are annoyed by arrows out of the blue. Of course, the river bed changed its course in some places since but the issues are the same. *And yes, later, in some places in Europe "highways" emerged along the river banks.

I've heard this battle told with 100K bavarian and 40K Hungarian. As well as 10K Hungarians against 40K bavarians. It is very unfortunate. SInce this was the defining and decicing victory wich made it clear that the Hungarians are here to stay. It is also unfortunate we don't know how Árpád died. It is speculated he and 3 of his sons who took part in the battle died or were mortally wounded and died shortly after.

When the German armies were defeated at Pozsony (Pressburg), Hungarians have chased the reminder of the fleeing Germans all the way back to Ennsburg, where king Luis the child was residing in "relative safety" behind the protection of 10k strong German elite troops, waiting for "the good news", instead of the good news he sow fleeing Germans and the chasing Hungarian army. Hungarians were so quick perusing the Germans that Luis the child hardly had enough time to organist the 10k strong rested German troops into battle formation around Ennsburg. ...and yes, you have guest it right, the 5k strong Hungarian chasing party smashed the 10k rested German troops.

    Indeed. People often underestimate feigned retreat and ambushes because it's often forgotten that these maneuvers are A) incredibly complex and B) executed across vast areas of land. For instance, the distance between the two Bavarian camps was around 10km, and Dietmar's contingent chased the Hungarians for a better part of the day along a similar distance. So, in a time before electronic communication, the Hungarians managed to coordinate their maneuvers to surround a much bigger army AND, most importantly, stay undetected. In my book, feigned retreat + ambush is a work of art.

    Note on hungarian side: Before the Hungarian Kingdom (founded in 1000 AD), by standard there were 3 leaders of the hungarian tribe-alliance: "Kende"/"Kündü": sacred king, religious leader - in 907 AD it was "Árpád" "Gyula": secular leader, commander of the army ("vezér"/"chief") - until 904 AD it was "Kurszán" (in some chronicles he appears as "Kusan" or "Kusán") "Harka/Horka": "chief judge", also chief of non-hungarian tribes, and commander of the army - "Bogát"* As "kende" never leads armies, it's pretty sure Árpád was not in command at this battle. Then who leaded them? According to Aventinus' Bavarian Annals chapter IV. 21. (SW657659, Cat. font. I. 346-347.) the hungarians at those times have chosen two kings, Dursak and Bogat ("Durszák", "Bogát"). They also appear in Bavarian Annals IV. 139. (SW256257) which says that they were chosen when Luis the child was emperor. * Bogát was grandfather of "Bölcs" (aka. Bulcsú) who was harka, just as his father "Kál", most likely Durszák was gyula and Bogát was harka. Hungarian losses - number of casulties unknown, however it is known, that Árpád lost 4 of his sons in this battle. We know that Bogát lived when Zolta (son and heir of Árpád) reigned (from 907 AD), and Durszák appears later in chronicles regarding italian battles (in some western chronicles on name "Busak/Busák"), so both of them survived.

    Congratulation, nicely done. I would like to draw your attention to the continuation of the story. After the crushing defeat at Pressburg in 907, Luis the Child planned another attack on Hungary in 910. Hungarian have learned of he's plans, and delivered a preventative strike on Luis the Child's armies in Bavaria on 12 June 910 and on 22 June 910, (battle of Augsburg and battle of Rednitz). 2nd Battle Rednitz: We do not know about the strength of the two armies before the battle, but knowing the fact that at least three (Franconia, Lotharingia, Bavaria) if not four (Saxonia) East Francian duchies took part in the battle, and the army was led by a duke and a count, we can presume that the German army was bigger than the Hungarians, who before this battle had to fight another battle at Augsburg with the Swabian army of the German king Louis the Child, which, although was a victory, could cause them some losses too. Nevertheless, the German army was heavily defeated. In the battle of Pressburg 907, in battle of Augsburg 910 and in battle of Rednitz 910, much of Germany's military power was annihilated. After the battle, the German king Louis the Child, together with the Swabian, Frankish, Bavarian, and Saxonian dukes, accepted to pay tribute to the Hungarian state. After 4 years (907-910) of heavy defeats (Pressburg, Eisenach, Augsburg, Rednitz) from the hands of the Hungarian mounted archers, every of which resulting with the annihilation of the armies (this causing a "shortage" in soldiers to the Germans), and the deaths of the German commanders (among them princes, dukes, counts, margraves, bishops, archbishops), the German kings (Conrad I of Germany, Henry the Fowler) and other political leaders, decided not to fight again in an open field with the obviously tactically superior Magyars, fearing to have the same fate of their predecessors, but they retreated in their castles and walled towns (knowing that the Hungarians are not very skilled in sieges, because they have no siege equipments), waiting until they left their countries filled with spoils. It is interesting to know that not only the Germans who shared borders with the Hungarians chose not to fight with them (for example in 924 the German king Henry the Fowler retreated in his castle of Werla, instead of defending his duchy with fight, when hearing that the Hungarians crossed Saxony's borders, and started to plunder his realm), but also the French too, for example in 919, when the Hungarians invaded Lotharingia and France, the king Charles the Simple wanted to gather the forces of his kingdom against them, only the archbishop of Reims appeared from the nobles of the whole kingdom, who obviously hearing about the risks of a battle with the archers from the Carpathian Basin from the news which came from Germany, decided not to participate in a war against them, so the king withdrawed together with his 1500 soldiers, letting the Magyars to pillage his country. Because the fear of the European political and military leaders of the encounter with the Hungarians, after the years until 910, when in only four years (907-910) occurred four major battles (Battle of Pressburg in 907, Battle of Eisenach in 908, Battle of Augsburg in 910 and Battle of Rednitz), between 910 and 933 just two major battles took place between the Hungarians and their enemies: in 913 the Battle of Inn (a Bavarian-Swabian victory), and in 919 the Battle of Püchen (the Hungarians defeated the German king Henry the Fowler). Another "tactic" used by the German kings and dukes between 910 and 933, was to pay off by tribute the peace within their borders.This inefficiency and fear of the European armies to fight against the Hungarians made possible for the latter to extend their raids into Western Europe: France, Burgundy and even northern Spain, and in the Balkans to Constantinople and Greek peninsula! These battles are a great continuation of the story (battle of Pressburg), it would be much appreciated if you could make a documentary of it.

They gave food supplies and wine to the hungry germans after their emperor vowed, that nor him, nor his heirs should ever dare to attack on Hungary again. If any would do, curse on him and his family. Some of the germans ate and drank till death, the rest dropped their armor ("vért" in hungarian, "Vértes hegy" means - "armored mountain") and ran back to the Holy-Roman Empire.

This legend is written down in the Gesta Hungarorum ("The deeds of the Hungarians" - its one of the oldest codex made in Hungary, it was made by the order of a descendant of Árpád to strengthen the House Árpád's prestige as ruling dynasty). So, the legend itself bound the magyars to the Huns and as a matter of fact no one still can completely debunk this theory since even the origin of Hungarians are just as much an enigma on its own - i mean its still an ongoing cultural-political and scientific debate (the origin of Hungarians). Personally im confident to say the Hungarians and Huns have something to do with each other (but more like we had some interaction with them and influenced by each other - im unsure about the theory about Huns and Hungarians being the same culture)

    Hungarians and Bulgars lived together in the Onogur Bulgar state of Khan Kouvrat (Kurt in Hungarian = bugle, coming from Turkic “wolf” - the bugle makes the sound of the wolf). When Kurt’s sons started fighting each other, Besmer likely called on the Khazars for help but ended up becoming their vassal after the victory. Asparuk lead his tribe towards Byzantium and expected to be granted refuge because his father and grandfather had been loyal Byzantine allies but he was refused, this lead to the establishment of Danube Bulgaria by force. Kouber (Kover in Hungarian = fat) lead many Onugors into the land of the Avars which had been subordinate to his father Kurt. Here he tried to dominate the Avar Kagan but was defeated and fled with his personal tribe, the originally Gokturk Choban tribe, direct descendants of Huns. He was permitted to settle in Byzantium (today’s North Macedonia) but he left a majority of the Onugors he brought with him in Avaria under the rule of the Avars. These people are our ancestors - Hungarians. Later in the 790’s AD, a civil war broke out between the Avar Kagan and the second in command called the Yugurus (Jogaros in Hungarian = “he who holds the cepter” = law giver). Historians are now pretty sure this was a war between the Avars and the Hungarians and both sides lost - to be more accurate, the Franks and the Bulgarians won. The Tudun of the Western Avar lands surrendered to the Franks and converted to Christianity. He was granted the title CANASAVCI (in Latin) by Charlemagne - clearly this title is either Kan-izsa-bacsi or Kana-szabolcs in Hungarian = Cana Subigi in old Bulgar = Kniazovich in Slavic. At the same time a mysterious foreigner takes over the throne of Danube Bulgaria, Khan Krum (Korom in Hungarian = soot/charcoal/black) is said to come from Pannonia and is very likely descended from Kurt. He follows in the footsteps of other great Danube Bulgarian khans like Tervel (literally means “he is planning” in Hungarian) and Kardam ( means “”my sword” in Hungarian). Almost like magic, the territory of Danube Bulgaria expands greatly to include the Carpathian Basin East of the Danube - it’s obvious Korom was simply unifying the two realms after the fall of the Avar elites. He swept the remaining Avars out in 805 AD and reunited the Onogurs and Bulgars. He brought a new policy of ethnic integration to Bulgaria where Bulgars and Slavs were encouraged to mix from then on. Perhaps he was trying to avoid the interethnic strife that destroyed the Avar Khaganate (which seemingly practiced segregation) to make sure his own dynasty will stay in power. He invaded Thrace and other Byzantine regions, capturing many many prisoners who he resettled North of the Danube to act as human shields to protect against those Hungarians who were his enemies and fled the former Avar lands (now ruled by Korom) to live in Moldova and Ukraine under Khazar rule. Unfortunately the captured settlers thrived North of the Danube and gave rise to Romanians. Bulgaria would do pretty well until the 880’s or 890’s when those Hungarians living in the Ukraine/Moldova formed a new tribal union with some Bashkir Turkic tribes which just arrived in the region from the lands to the S.E. of Volga Bulgaria. This alliance called itself Hetumoger (Hungarian for Seven Magyars). They were determined to recapture the Carpathian Basin from the Bulgars, Franks and Moravians which they accomplished in the 890’s and early 900’s. They labeled the Hungarians they found still living here as Szekely (“locals” in old Hungarian). I hope this was enlightening for you.

What a giant mess from the oposition. Now that being said, the hungarians took full advantage of that. Its just amazing, and a really good battle that i did not expect to witness when I opened this vid. Thanks for all your work, cheers from Transilvania!

    A good (disciplined) feigned retreat worked most of the time against "western" armies during middle ages. Steppe warriors often pulled this off due to being lightly armored and having horses underneath. They could harass the enemy to perfection even while retreating. - Huns used this against Romans - Magyars against Franks - Turks (Seljuks) used against Eastern Romans - Mongols against Rus, Magyars and Polish (this was after the Magyars had lost the steppe tactics and started using heavier units) The only thing that horse archers were ineffective against were longbowmen and crossbowman. These units outranged horse archers and had better accuracy due to being on foot.

    Afaik the river Enns has remained an important part of Hungarian culture. Our folk tales often refer to faraway kingdoms being over the Óperencia. A word which according to one theory may very well be a bastardization of the (possibly itself gramitcally incorrect) German expression "ober Enns" meaning over or above the Enns. Understandable since for a long time the river Enns has represented the boundary over which the "strange" settled peoples of the west lived.
