"The strength of the walls isn't in the stone, but in the defenders' souls" -István Dobó

Martinuzzi: ”Finally, the Ottomans have freed Buda from the Hapsburgs!" Suleiman I: "Oh no I wouldn't say free, more like...Under new management :)"

Nobody: Hungarians: Circus Wheel of Death

Imagine dying in a war called the little war.

Great video. You really put effort into pronunciation this time, I appreciate that. Fun fact: Dobó István is still revered as a local hero in Eger to this day. There's a statue of him and everything. There's also a stone engraved with the names of the dead, including their profession - the fact that there was even organisation to know the profession of everyone who died is amazing in and of itself, but also note how well Dobó used his men's specialties to their advantage, allowing them to practice the crafts they knew instead of just shooting and stabbing dudes.

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.” - Sun Tzu

I hate Mondays, but I always look forward to Sunday nights because of Kings and Generals :) Awesome vid as always!

Amazing! In two days me and my wife will drive to Budapest for our honeymoon and here you hit me with a documentation about the Siege of our destination. Its really cool that i can learn more about the history of the city already. Thank you Kings and Generals! <3

Giant flaming death wheels seem like something more out of Mad Max than 14th century Hungary. That inventor was an awesome genius.

Habsburgs to the left of me, Ottomans to the right, Here i am! Stuck in the middle with you!

Egri Csillagok (The Stars of Eger) - one of the best selling books in Hungary for the last few decades - tells the tale of the siege of Eger. They even made an epic movie off of it. It was the first castle sieging, epic battle type movie I saw as a child. So, this battle is a pretty big deal and very well known in Hungary. I am so hyped for this video!

Suleiman's strategy outside buda was impressive. He was real habsburg remover.

I'm Turkish and I love Ottoman history You all would too if you were also, But what I love just as much is underdogs fighting for their homeland againt's greater odds. Well damn done Hungarians at Eger. 💪👍

The title of the novel, about the siege of Eger on English is, Gárdonyi Géza : Eclipse of the Crescent Moon It was one of my favored books in my childhood. I can recommend it to everyone,who can find it.

Ottomans assaulting the gates István Dobó with hand grenades “I’m gonna do what’s called a pro gamer move.”

most clevver of suleyman... snatching buda from underneath their own feet and once again a legendary defense against the ottomans . loved it !!

I was born and lived for years in Eger. Beautiful historical city, highly recommended for everyone to visit.

What a fascinating defense, heroic, legendary!

Thank you for being the only non native Hungarian Youtuber I've heard to actually get pronunciation of names and places correct!
