Why are the Hungarian invasions unknown and undervalued?
The Magyars were more deadly than the Vikings
>They attacked Islamic Spain
>a fearsome enemy of the Byzantines
>khazarian nightmare
>archrivals of the Germans
>they looted northern Italy constantly
They were undoubtedly worthy successors of the Scythians and Huns
For this question we must go back to 862AD.
Kek'd
>Because history is now written by Anglos, if you haven't noticed
Got a problem with Anglo culture? Just stop using this English-speaking board
Because history is now written by Anglos, if you haven't noticed. And hungarians couldn't into sea raids.
>And hungarians couldn't into sea raids
*Ties sheepskin balloons to his horse*
>Watchu sayin yt boy?
Not quite crossing the Channel, but they did sea raid Venice on horses.
do Hungarians not write histories of their own? LOL
they do, but nobody else reads then because they are not relevant
>Because history is now written by Anglos
Anglos so powerful they can unilaterally prevent everyone else from writing anything in their own languages
I kneel...
>>a fearsome enemy of the Byzantines
During this period the Bulgarians and Arabs were more important enemies. Even the Rus had more to do.
of the Germans
Much less 'archrival' and more like nuisance. East Frankia and West Frankia would fight each other in full intensity wars with the Ottonians and Carolingians vying for supremacy over the Empire. The Hungarians were always seconday in this
This is a skewed and distorted perception of history. The Magyars were a major threat and even killed one of their kings.
>frankish king dying
that's just wednesday in the late 9th/ early 10th cent
Because noormies don't care about the early middle ages anon
>the Middle Ages? With like Rome and shit? Bro who would win a samurai or a caveman? Did they talk about this in the Bible?
>huns
Huns were irrelevant overrated gays tho
Magyars were 50 times stronger than them
Vikings are relevant only because they are deeply tied into English history. Modern culture is extremely, absurdly Anglocentric.
Oh wow were they really in Spain. Seems like central Asians really do get around. The mongols were every where from Palestine to Poland, Iraq to India, Belarus to Burma and Russia to Japan. Pretty crazy
>Why are the Hungarian invasions unknown and undervalued?
I know, they call it "age of adventures", and it's usually thrown in with all the hun, avar, pecheneg and mongol stuff. Being in the middle kinda sucks, you get none of the focus.
Because they aren't at all unique. The steppe has always be vomiting forth barbaric asiatics
They were pretty unique. None of the other steppe Black folk raided over all of continental Europe. They got farther than even the Huns.
Huns were literal nothing burger
I dont know why you keep bringing them
The vikings were way more destructive than the huns, atleast in europe
They were way more West eurasian than you think
If you saw a magyar, you would probably mistake him for an eastern european
>Huns were literal nothing burg-ACK
Yep
They got destroyed by the WRE in battle and then got buttraped by the germanics
>hapas
You thinking of turkics
Magyars were 1/8 or 1/6 mongoloid
They were in majority western eurasian and even having a lot of fully western eurasian individuals because of they assimilated a lot of sarmatians/scythians
>Yep
>They got destroyed by the WRE in battle and then got buttraped by the germ-ACK
Post real battle, morons

Seething huncuck historylet
Huns are overrated
>...then got buttraped by the germ-ACK
>Say hello to my little hunic frens!
?t=289
>You thinking of turkics
The Turks of Anatolia are Arabs-Greeks-Mongols-Kurds-Slavs mutts
Im talking about turkics
Not turks you idiot
Because raids are a big nothingburger if nothing is achieved.
>Hey guys look I took my 100 men, sacked a random shit town and left before the king could raise an army to stop me
Where they white though albeit?
because history is written by anglos
because it didnt do much damage in western europe and it was at the same with vikangs so vikaaaaangs are so coool and blablabla
Yet another horde of mongoloid raiders in the long list of mongoloid hordes, somewhere in between Avars and Cumans, capable only of pillage and rape. The only difference is that these managed to force Slavic population to adopt their language, thus becoming "white" and "civilized", but losing the remaining relevance in the process.
The Magyars were Hapas, their appearance varied between Kazakh and Ukrainian.

Our early history (pre 1000 AD) is moronicly undervalued even by our own historians for some reason. Mainly due to the fault of lack of unbiased textual sources and archeological evidence. We don’t know what exactly happened during the adventuring times, nor do other nations really care. We also know next to nothing of pre Christian Hungarian religious practices and everything is literal LARP and speculation.
Because Hungary is way less relevant culturally than Anglos and Scandinavians.
> unknown
Well known at the time, less so nowadays.
> undervalued
Depends on who you ask: people getting their village plundered probably valued them correctly as a net negative; while petty dukes who hired them to raid their rivals did well to value them correctly with ample compensation, lest they be the target of next year's expedition.
Though I think what OP meant to ask is why they're not more prominent in contemporary media/literature? And previous answers are correct: out of all the warrior tribes from history English dominated media will choose to romanticize a group that had an imprint on their own history, Vikings.
Other than the black army the hungarians were nothing but mongoloid savages. Their "hungary" coincidently had the same borders as the other steppenakers, the avars.
Thats because they were the same exact people with the same exact language. Just two seperate iterations
raids on france or spain were a footnote, balkans and italy were raided by someone constantly, and germans would rather miss boasting about winning 1 batlte rather than admit they were also getting raped for 5 decades
>>a fearsome enemy of the Byzantines
they were a nuisance to bulgaria, not byzantium
i don't respect hungary because like romanians and finns they sided with the hitlerite regime and were never made to pay for killing israeli people
>t.amerimutt
Hungarian never forgive mutts anyway
After Huns, there were Gepids, Avars and some unarmed Slav groups
>Post real battle, moron-ACK
>Atilla, but that shill claimed that WRE destroyed us.
>Blatant lies and moving the goalposts, this is what shills do.
