The way Vlad sneaked into the ottoman garrison dressed as a ottoman and speaking perfect Turkish and even mimicking the ottoman body guards sounds like something you see in a movie

[kylesparks]

The idea of Vlad embarrassing leaders in front of their army in duels on multiple occasions is hilarious and badass.

[bentlohse]

I never realized that Columbus and Vlad lived around the same time. Feels surreal.

[tkling]

Don't you just love it when the crusaders abandon their allies at the moment of need?

[roddrs]

I've read in the title "Vlad the Impaler tries to kill me..." and then I saw in the thumbnail "Im coming for you". Makes you think about your choices in life and if you were in fact a good boy.

[ThePoutinePrince]

Beating a man in a duel and forcing him to dig his own grave in front of his whole army is cold as hell.

“Good fences make good neighabors”
Vlad- “bad neighabors make good fences”

The real Vlad makes Dracula look like a middle-class school boy.

Mehmets life... There was no more epic novel written in history...His wars with Konstantin, Vlad, Skanderbeg, Uzun Hasan, Hunyadi, the karamans, the venetians, ... Stuff for a lot of more series

[moohaameed]

Vlad and Mehmet went from being childhood friends to eternal enemies. Their battles represent the personal battles between them two. Great to have David narrating the Wallachian - Ottoman war. 💯⚔️

huge cristian propaganda the losses part is false vlad lost almost his entire army they killed animals more than a solider because he was trapped Turkish soldiers went behind them and killed many of them and since there were no soldiers to fight on Vlad's right side, he barely escaped with 6000 soldiers. All the rest were either captured or executed. Many of these losses are claimed only by a few Christian doctors, but the losses I mentioned are also said by many well-known professors. Janissaries are highly trained professional units, most of Vlad's army consists of peasant

One of your first videos, yet still as impressive! thanks for your hard work HM.

[homelessjesse]

Man. Vlad was a true military genius. He just never had the resources to properly fight the Ottomans.

Vlad Tepes (The Impaler) founded in 1459 București (Bucharest) the nowadays capital of Romania

[TheDevilMethod]

Ah deadly snakes and mosquitos... perfect place for my capital.

[brainflash]

Its so infuriating watching Dracula get betrayed over and over again.

[KGF-zfqj]

This got to be One of the craziest moments in military history🥶🤯

[michalkurosa]

My one my fav. Leader and strategist and warrior. Greeting Romania. 🇹🇩from Poland 🇵🇱. You had Vlad we had Jeremy Wisniowiecki.

[sockymonkie]

Vlad REALLY needs to be playable in Civilization 7.
