Vikings: we kill to loot Tatars: we kill to kill

In Hungary there are still folk-tales about the mongol invasion after 800 years. It was that horrible, we still have sayings related to it. Some mothers still threaten their children with tatars, if they dont behave.

How is this not a movie already? This has to be one of the most harrowing tales I've ever heard.

I can’t help but wonder if the author of these words would have ever imagined that his memories would have survived 800 years later and shared in such a beautiful way. Great work

As a Romanian watching this from a village along the Mures river, recognizing all locations from oradea to alba iulia, this is bone chilling. We learned of the ottoman terrors in wallachia and transylvania but we only heard mentions of Gesta Hungarorum (for obvious reasons) so this amount of detail of mongol invasion was new to me.

The magnitude of this horror is impressive. Puts a lot of things into perspective. That said, this man was smart and had good instincts as to how to survive.

I was transported to that era of horror as an observant, following the master through the villages and forests to safety. Thank you for another marvelous story of the past.

The saddest part is those alive today for most have no respect nor gratitude for all the sacrifices and suffering of their ancestors.

This man's story needs to be made into a full-on movie.

The Mongol invasion of Hungary is probably our single biggest national tragedy. Recent years have unearthed some heart-breaking details, such as a skull of a dog next to executed children. The dog's head was was hit by a mace and pierced by a sword as it tried to protect the children, or two little kids, a boy and a girl hidden in a furnace, a boy held a wafer iron in his hands for defence. Their mother died in front of the furnace and their house was torched by the Mongols. We now see more damage - and more resistance - than we have seen ever before. Such a heart-breaking period with opportunities and families lost forever.

Makes me appreciate living today

This man's story needs to be made into a full-on movie.. This man's writing and story telling is exceptional.

We do know that JRR Tolkien knew his history. Instead of retelling a true story, he made it into a fantasy.

These horrors are baked in to human civilization. It doesn’t take much to resurrect such cruelty.

This is sheer just incredible , thank you to your channel for bringing this story . And so well narrated too

So amazing that there are records/scripts of these events. To think what the world was like for these people in 1241 is wild. Always baffling that people were capable of holding these territories so far from their homes

Awesome! Thanks for the new video. I watched everything you made thus far and love it.

Please do something about the Taiping or Boxer rebellion, the Taiping heavenly kingdom is one of the most fascinating movements of the 1800s

This man's writing and story telling is exceptional
