Generals when they win a battle:

"You know I'm something of an emperor myself."

[ΧρήστοςΚουτσογιάννος]

I told my history professor about the Chanel and she said that your videos are historically accurate and very interesting!! Well done !

There are two types of Roman and later Byzantine generals.
1.: Competent. Will most likely overthrow you.
2.: Completely incompent. Might still try to overthrow you.

Generals in the empire: "I have won some battle! So following the ancient customs, I declare myself emperor."

[Slavomir]

I've always wondered how it was humanly possible to be that incompetent as the Angelos dynasty was.

More Bulgarian-Byzantine clashes: hype. One of the longest rivalries in the region.

[hih]

Watched like 5-6 videos of Bulgarian history (different time period) and there is always ambush/narrow path major victories, these guys took this type of war to another level

“The province of Philladelphia rebelled”.

Americans: “Just like home!”

[ArchonShon]

Other channels are Solid but K&G is truly Hyperpryon.

Everyone: Will you stop trying to replace emperors and sending armies only to be massacred?
Eastern Rome: No.

[JohnnyElRed]

Seriously: how did the Byzantine Empire managed to survive for that long? They walked from disaster into disaster constantly.

Fun Fact: Stefan Nemanja was the second of a series of twelve Stefans in a row. Between 1166-1355 the ruler of Serbia was always named Stefan.

*Mountain passes exist*
Bulgarians: It is free victory.

Such a fascinating period in Balkan history. My favorite campaign in AOE 2 is the Ivaylo rebellion against the Second Bulgarian Empire. I really appreciate this video connecting all these lesser known events with the more famous Fourth Crusade. I hope to see this series continued.

Poland: I'm getting attacked by everyone
Byzantium: First time?

[yektaadguzel]

Germans: teutoburg is the best ambush the world ever seen !
Bulgarians: hold my banitsa

[YakimovBG]

My hometown is Tryavna. about 2 km from the city is the place where the battle took place and there is a large statue in honor of the battle. Also in the center of the city is the church built by Tsar Assen in honor of the victory over Byzantium in 1190 and to this day is a functioning church and can anyone who wants to come in and light a candle!

[valentinstoyanov]

The Byzantine history is the real embodiment of "Game of thrones"...

[Treassurehunter]

Hopefully we can see next, the Bulgarian–Latin wars and the Kaloyan campaigns.
