If I´m not mistaken you can actually see Temujins conquest in the amount of co2 in ice cores, after his conquests you see a noticable drop in co2 possibly due to the regrowth of forests over the areas that he devastated and burnt to the ground. So yea he was the original climate change activist
soo good , I know you guys are doing a lot of work, so forgive me for the suggestion, and to be fair it isn’t really necessary… however … a few related books to read in the description of your videos would be reviewed with interest. Thankyou for so much content - channel is without compare
I took a look at this, particularly the introduction by Beazley. archive.org/details/chronicleofnovgo00michrich So glad you're enjoying our stuff, thanks a lot.
'Apostolic Majesty' is the clue, the title first bestowed by the Pope about 1000ad on the King of Hungary. Carissima in Christo Filia, may he flourish in our time.
Bela IV retreated to dalmatia, there were fortresses there that resisted mongolian sieges....occasionaly he took refuge on dalmatian islands and waited out mongolian onslaught.....
You ever heard the expression " once you go black you never go back?" I want to propose the expression for CZcams history channels " once you hear Apostolic Majesty all other history channels will not suffice."
For anyone interested in this era a excellent but old work exists of the archaeology of arms and armour of the Russ and Nomadic states with a emphasis on this era, and Mongol conquest. Kirpitchnikov, Arms and Armour of Medieval Russia. I am positive pdf's would exist of this work. I owned a copy which sadly a light fingered so called friend stole. It is packed with some excellent pieces of primary evidence. I must mention a particular helmet I like with face visor of a grotesque stylr, with pointed style skull dome. These helmets are attributed to the Kypczak Pecheneg and Czarni Kloboki, all semi sedentary nomadic groups inhabiting the Pontic steppe.
I am unsure as I studied this decades ago but there was speculation that at Lake Peipus in which Nevski and his Druhzina and levy defeated the Baltic and Germanic crussde. Speculation exists that the horse archers Nevski employed may have been Mongol? During the crudaders crossing of the ice river they were harrassed constantly by horsearchers I believe on the Danish flank. I am not sure if further investigation has revealed more but if true it is very interesting. Guys this is absolutely fantastic and the work done on the Cossacks. I would love a dedicated video of the Polish Lithuanian commonwealth, that of the frontiers of Europe with the Ottoman threat and Hungary Transylvania during this period 16th 17thc. The Crimean Tatary as well. Sorry I know that is quite a ask.
Is there a reason why the Mongols were able to capture heavily fortified cities so easily, despite being predominately lightly armed and fast moving? Its interesting given that heavier armies like Hannibal's etc were fatally unable to do so.
They brought Chinese engineers and they would build the siege engines when attacking the cities wherever they were, they didn't bring these engines all the way from China that would negate there mobility.
Temujin was the world’s first eco-warrior, combating climate change, one body at a time.

@@roan2288 And probably the less murderous one if our modern day green people are anything to go by.
Sometimes scores of bodies at a time
Regarding Bela IV of Hungary, I mistakenly said he died in Battle against the Mongols in 1241, when in fact he died of natural causes 1270.
SO CALLED Yoke, IS a Polish construction, in reality Muscovy was the northern part of ulus of juchi, and putin´s empire is a mongol ulus
Highest IQ history streams on CZcams. Top work, boys.
I'm not sure about that, but thanks!
Cozy as always. Cheers, gentlemen.

I could tell you were Roman Catholic when you put Orthodoxy in quotation marks. Not even the Anglicans would do that.
The Anglicans are the most similar protestant group to orthodoxy.
@@vorynrosethorn903That rather reinforces his point than not.

Nope, King Bela IV did not die in battle against the Mongols. He died of an illness in 1270.
Look we’re all based here, but calling the Mongols an illness is uncalled for.
@@Vingul I didn't call the Mongols an illness. 😡
Wikipedia just didn't offer any detailed explanation further than he became termainlly ill.

Great stream!
And two years later, we got there
You ever heard the expression " once you go black you never go back?" I want to propose the expression for CZcams history channels " once you hear Apostolic Majesty all other history channels will not suffice."
That’s disgusting 🤢
@@sillyname6808 I wasn't agreeing with the statement, I was using it to make another expression!😉
That doesn't even rhyme but I get what your saying
@@adansanchez4047 uh once you go Apostolic Majesty, watching other history channels is a travesty?

Golden Horde was known as Kipchak Khanate
Anyone else playing intro sequence bingo? Got to admit I hadn't yet tracked down the Chlebowski at 1.36. Great work your AM.
There is a Russian TV historical drama called The Golden Horde in which Yaroslav is the central character.
I am unsure as I studied this decades ago but there was speculation that at Lake Peipus in which Nevski and his Druhzina and levy defeated the Baltic and Germanic crussde.

@Astral Spector Yeah i heard them say that, but given the logistics required and distances involved, it doesnt sound possible.
@@stan2600 is not like they take the siege weapons from China to Kyev and you don't need 1,000 enginners for a catapult.
@@alexandrub8786 So why couldnt Hannibal do it? Especially given that he had a lot more resources.
@@stan2600 No need to bring any siege equipment, Russia is full of timber, they can all be built on site.
They brought Chinese engineers and they would build the siege engines when attacking the cities wherever they were, they didn't bring these engines all the way from China that would negate there mobility.
