        That’s pretty amazing stuff. Have you seen the Mongolian raids? Some say they’re the largest cavalry raids in history.

        Sure, but the Magyars are a little more obscure

        You'll notice they steered clear of anywhere they might find a Millwall supporter.

        Never knew this. For me Hungary means John Von Neumann and Formula 1 Hungarian race.

        see, we Poles were best friends with Hungarians even then. Lecso, wine and raids throughout Western Europe - what is there not to like?!

        How did they manage logistically? What drove them to such expansionalism?

        Quite amazing. For me, the benchmark for punching above his weight was Gustavus Adolphus. Warfare also a more bloody business by the C17th.

        European history is indeed an amazing one. :) By the way, Andy Grove and George Soros are both from Hungary.

        really interesting. Looks like from an old Russian textbook. Are you of Hungarian origin?
