Vlad the Impaler may have cemented the throne for a little while but the Ottoman Empire was very keen on ousting him and replacing him with Radu the Handsome. And it seemed like all of his neighbors were either apathetic or working with the Ottomans. But he is not going to go quietly...

@florinmanolache9706 2 года назад

Sure, "at all times" might be an exageration, but it's still true that we opposed the ottomans for a long period of time. Because unlike a superpower that can just make a peace treaty after a stalemate or minor defeat (losing 1 battle doesn't mean you lost the entire country), a weaker power could only accept defeat and side with them since you want to live to fight another day (losing 1 battle is game over)

Extra Credits, could you look at Stephen the Great as well? Vlad the Impaler's cousin from Moldavia. They were cousins and polar opposites. While Vlad the Impaler had dark tendencies, Stephen the Great was a faithful man and for every victory he would build a church in the name of God. He ruled Moldavia for 47 years in a time when the average ruler lasted 1-2 years, at different points he was at war with every neighbour: Hungary, Poland, Tatars, Wallachians and Ottomans. He had 44 victories out of 46 battles, his only defeats at the hand of the Ottomans.

@vampdude5696 2 года назад

@@Mikebumpful Romanian here. The idea behind the Republic of Moldova and Moldavia is that at one point they were the same thing. The only reason there is a Republic of Moldova is because of the USSR annexation during WW2. There are people from both Romania and Moldova that want to unite, but there are a lot of complications. Culturally, while Moldova has a stronger slavic influence (cause again, USSR and the deportations), they are very very similar to us to the point of almost being the same exact thing. It's kind of like saying that Transylvania is Romanian despite the Hungarian influence during it's occupation

If Hungary had helped they could have potentially destroyed Ottoman hegemony in Balkans. Vlad's knowledge of Ottoman warfare,tactics and his cruelty along with Hungarian support could have permanently crippled Ottoman expansion into Europe, maybe even kick them out of the Balkans. This unwillingness to help would cost them when 70 years later Sultan Suleiman would come and end the Kingdom of Hungary after which Hungary would not gain its independence untill after ww1.

@_Muzolf 2 года назад

Matthias had himself trouble home with the nobility, and this dream of kicking out the Ottomans was very much a fantasy. Matthias himself tried to organize a pushback when he finally put down his biggest rivals and various rebellions, but that plan went up in smoke due to being unable to get the Serbians on board. Hungary being catholic, while all of its southern and eastern neighbors being orthodox, with the usual politics simply created too much a wedge between them to ever create a successful coalition against the ottomans.

@danielvekony2320 2 года назад

In case anybody cares Matthias Corvinus was the son of John Hunyadi. He's name is actually Matthias Hunyadi, he was renamed after his herald animal, the raven (latin: corvus). He was the smaller of two sons, the older one was decapitated by the prievous king who was afraid the popular Hunyadi's sons would dethrone him. The angry people gathered on the frozen Denube demanding Matthias to be crowned king, which thanks to the the pressure of the crowd has happened, that's why he was called, among other things, the King elected on ice. He is also a Hungarian culture hero, also called Righteous Matthias (which he wasn't necesseraly but still one of the best). According to the fables he frequently dressed up as a poor beggar, and wandered around the country to see the people's true colours, and when he me inequality, cruelty or injustice, he later returned as king to set things right. This probably never happened, but we have hundreds of such fables, which shows people's view on him.

How ironic that the vampire needing an invitation to enter a home came from a vampire needing an invitation to enter his home

The 1462 invasion of Wallachia is sometimes called the Vietnam of the muddle ages. King Matthias was actually pretty smart and craftfully played all parties to his peaceful ambitions. His game lasted for quite a while but of course, it couldn't have lasted forever and i think he knew that from the start.

Your videos are quite entertaining, especially the ones related to Vlad the Impaler since the history of the man who inspired History's most famous vampire. Speaking of bloodthirsty (pun half-intended) noblities, I'm curious about your take on the Hungarian Bloody Countess, Elizabeth Bathory.
