  • The Ottomans helped you each time you rebelled against the Habsburgs. Many of your nationalist leaders flee to the Ottoman lands. Do not forget that.

  • @aporia82 I just read your comment now as I am not on youtube nowadays.

    Actually my message is not against turkish at all. I just think it is shameful or unfortunate thing that we fought with eachother in the name of two opposing religion which at the end is a bit alian and just a taken religion upon our original (and similar roots).

  • @aporia82 My message is rather for europeans who feared the spread of the Ottoman empire, but didnt give a real help for us or other small kingdoms south of us.

    Moreover the m*****f****r Habsburgs just used this hard time to gain the Hungarian crown in several tricky steps. The ottoman attack would have been just a challenge for us without beautiful Habsburgs, other lovely neighbours and so kind other european powers (including WWI) and now we could have our golden age again....

  • Thanks!

    As I know that you couldnt understand the English of Shakespeare with present day english knowledge. But I read a 500 hungarian chronicle in original language, and I have to say that you can understand it from the beginning without help, althogh your braing gets a bit tired but after a few chapters it is just interesting, sometimes funny and amazing....

    Anyway that book is about history of Hungary before 1500 in that book Polish Kingdom or polish people are mentioned hundreds of times.

  • I suppose this translation to be literal. And since that I value it. And I suppose that older english(like from Poe's poems) should be more appropiate to this translation.

    greetings from Poland, Erdely and Banat are hungarian.

  • @kraksynludoli And that is very interesting that how intense cooperation went on between our countries that time....and it was actually without political interest. I think there is no other example for this in europe....

    Long live for Poland :)

  • One Question:

    What is the Name of the Poem?

  • "In the Turkish Great March on Vienna 1683, Austria was devastated by Tatars, Akinjis and hungarian light horsemen - the Hussars. They were led by Imre Thököly, a hungarian lord who headed the uprising against the Hapsburgs."

    Quelle: V. Vuksic, Z. Grbasic "Cavalry - History of a Fighting Elite" I think this says all^^

    Bulgarian Greets from Austria to my Hungarian Brothers in Arms!

  • Jo a video !!!

  • Hungarians always fought honorably. As you know, the target of the Ottoman Empire was the Habsburg Dynasty not the Hungarian people. If only we never had to fight against Hungarians.

    Given also our common history comes from the great king Attila, I consider your martyries as also ours. May they rest in peace.

  • in what language song this ???
