yes, over to you

**Grymloq** · February 02, 2022, 09:07 AM

Thanks

Battle of Ménfő I guess....

**Grymloq** · February 03, 2022, 03:27 AM

Nope, it is not supposed to depict a battle, but you are getting closer

**Grymloq** · February 07, 2022, 01:44 AM

Hint time! The source of the most famous depiction of realm56's guess is also the source of the picture I have posted. The event involves one of the sides of realm56's guess but it happened some centuries later.

Cumans arriving in Hungary, I guess

that's overall a sad story, if I ever heard one

**Grymloq** · February 07, 2022, 07:20 AM

Yep, correct! Over to you

**Flinn** · February 07, 2022, 07:51 AM

This is gonna be VERY easy, but I want to celebrate that event

**King Athelstan** · February 07, 2022, 01:22 PM

Framekspedisjonen, (Good timing for the Norwegian to get back in it too

) Roald Amundsen reaching the south Pole

**Flinn** · February 08, 2022, 02:28 AM

It sure is! The whole story about his and Scott's expedition is worth a movie

over to you!

Nothing better than a very mediocre Norwegian film about a Norwegian hero then

**realm56** · February 09, 2022, 07:02 AM

I guess that this is somehow linked to the Norwegian Crusade.

**King Athelstan** · February 10, 2022, 01:35 AM

Very much so! What event from it does it depict?

**realm56** · February 10, 2022, 01:52 AM

Judging by the buildings and the ethnic makeup of some in the crowd, I willing to bet that this is Sigurd marching through Constantinople on his way back to Norway.

**Flinn** · February 10, 2022, 02:12 AM

The history about the Norwegian Crusade is pretty unique, I confess I did not know of it at all before this.

**King Athelstan** · February 11, 2022, 06:25 AM

Constantinople it is!

And aye Flinn, it's an incredible story that not everyone knows a lot about

**realm56** · February 11, 2022, 06:54 AM

Nice! This is the thing I really like about this trend, you get to know more about some parts of history most people will never know in their lifetimes. Sometimes, real history can be much stranger than the myths that accompany them.

Can't quite make out what that is. That looks like the reformed Imperial Chinese army standing in front of the Beijing palace. There is some kind of procession but I can't see what it is. Is it general Yuan Shikai assuming power as Emperor of China?
