Who are the Vlachs? For centuries, these semi-nomadic shepherds and warriors have roamed the mountains of the Balkans, speaking a Romance language descended from Latin, long before Slavic and Ottoman empires reshaped the region. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the origins of the Vlachs—from their possible roots as Romanized Illyrians and Thracians to their role in the Second Bulgarian Empire under the Asen dynasty. They discuss the Vlachs' unique social structure centered around the katun, or summer pasture, and their reputation as fierce warriors who served as mercenaries for Byzantine, Serbian, and Ottoman rulers. The conversation also touches on the Vlachs' legal privileges, known as the Lex Vlachorum, and their gradual assimilation into Romanian, Aromanian, and Slavic identities. Along the way, Lucas shares a personal connection to a Vlach settlement in the Pindus mountains, and the hosts reflect on how the Vlachs challenge modern notions of ethnicity and nationalism. A fascinating look at a people who shaped Balkan history but are often forgotten. #Vlachs #Balkans #Aromanians #MeglenoRomanians #Katun #LexVlachorum #Asen #SecondBulgarianEmpire #RomanianHistory #ByzantineEmpire #OttomanEmpire #Shepherds #LatinLanguage #Pindus #Wallachia #Moldavia #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
