The Fall Of Szigetvár (1566) | Part 1: Suleiman's Last March
Description
"The Battle That Saved The Civilization"
In this series, we explore the 1566 Siege of Szigetvár, a crucial castle on the Hapsburg-Ottoman border.
When the 71-year-old Ottoman Sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent, besieged Szigetvár, he didn't anticipate the fierce resistance. Led by Count Nikola Zrinski (also known as Zrínyi Miklós or Nikola Šubić Zrinski), the garrison was determined to defend their fortress to the last man.
As the aged Sultan Suleiman marched toward the fortress we explore his personal life. From his controversial relationship with his Grand Vizier to his taboo romance with his favorite concubine.
Join us to uncover the story of Suleiman the Magnificent and the Siege of Szigetvár, a clash of compelling characters battling for legacy.
