Between 860 and 970, the Magyars were the scourge of Europe. They devastated and pillaged a wide swath of territory, from Bremen in the north, to Otranto in the south, and Orleans in the west, with some raiding expeditions reaching over the Pyrenees Mountains into Iberia. 🚩 If you like what you see, consider supporting my work on Patreon and you get ad-free early access to my videos for as little as $1   / historymarche   -- You can also show your support by subscribing to the channel and liking the video.
