Our initial plan was to cover the battle of Lepanto next, but it was impossible to ignore Cyprus and the iconic siege of Famagusta. At the same time, we mentioned the first Ottoman conflict with Russia in a few sentences. Down the line, new videos will be made covering that conflict in detail. Thanks for being with us!
I wanted to say that your videos is amazing👍hopefully you will put every battle in history in your videos...

No it is because of youtube shitty and destructive policies over the last couple of years. Dont try to shift the blame to where it does not belong.
They'd still do both man
Funnily enough, even though the war for Cyprus was the reason for the battle of Lepanto, the Holy League never actually mounted an assault to retake the island as it basically collapsed due to bickering after winning at Lepanto.
Spoiler alert?
The Holy League could win at sea, but to mount an assault on land near to the coast of Anatolia was a completely different affair. 70 year later, in the Cretan war, Venice easily won all the sea battles, but in the end Lost Crete anyway, since the Ottomans could sustain 19 years of siege.

The fact You make so much quality content so often amazes me
I too finally joined as your patreon! I owe your channel huge debt! 😀 You gave such great inspirations and wisdom which I shall never forget.

Great video again ! Nice presentation of the general context and of the main characters. The battle itself is very well described on your always most appreciable dynamic note : keep up this great work !
Venice and the Ottomans, divided by war, united by their love of money.
more lke divided by war, united by their love of coffee
Better love story then twilight.
R3GARnator True dat. 😀
@STORM LORD Lol always the Jews.
Yes, but the Venetians achieved this goal mainly through commerce and not by conquer, looting and slavery like ottomans did.
Of course we can't forget the fourth crusade and its huge impact. But that occurred only once and we can claim that it was not planned from the beginning.
Also i have never heard that the Venetians flayed someone ALIVE, just like the Ottomans did to Bragadin and others.
You guys are such teasers! I am looking forward to more videos "D
Congratulations on the 1.000.000 Subscribers you totally deserve them. Also i cant wait for the battle of Lepanto ;)
In a book by David Brewer regarding this time period it is said that baglioni was beheaded and his head was shown by lala mustafa as a trophy and bragadino had his nose and ears cut, as you mention as well. GORE ALERT But afterwards, as the book states, they utterly humiliated him by making him work as a slave having to carry heavy sacks of rocks on the walls that he defended, then they tied him naked on a pole in a central square and skinned him alive. After his death they took his skin and filled it with hay, put his clothes on it and paraded in famagusta with it on top of a cow.
Also, this book states that lala mustafa knew about the hostages being killed, thus his motivations can only be speculated
Then this book is wrong, because first of all, being naked around people or even at home is restricted in Islam and looking at other people's private parts is also haram and those commanders who got the island of Cyprus were muslims. Therefore as author says, they conquered the island because of pirate attacks.
@@Leonfromre4and2 you are more than 100 percent wrong
@@Leonfromre4and2 and you can remember how christians killed muslims and jews in Jerusalem
5:51 What a beautiful choice of music, reflecting very well the long series of blunders after blunders doing Selims reign. Sokullu as emperor was much suited than Selim and history would have been different.
Another home run. Keep it up K&G!

Yay battle of lepanto. I've been waiting for this.
I play EU4 for a few hours, watch one of these videos, then boot up my PC with a sigh. Good job as always!
The Ottomans were planning to open the Don-Volga Canal but the Crimean "allies" tricked Ottomans that it was "too cold" and there was "no food" and started rumors which ended up with military unrest. Crimean Khanate thought that if the canal opens it would damage their authority in the region. The Ottoman soldiers were unaware about the weather conditions in North so the soldiers were easily tricked. The construction of the canal was already started by the soldiers but with the military unrest Ottomans had to stop. Crimea literally helped Russians during this time.
Desperately waiting for a video on The Battle of Lepanto.
Damnit! Just joined it. It's not in this video? It's going to be another month :/ Still hoping they are somehow able to get the Battle of Lepanto song from Europa Universalis 4 OST. If it fits in, that is.
Me too!!!
Also Ottoman-Habsburg wars on North Africa
And The Second Siege of Viennaa!
And I am looking forward for Battle of Djerba, which Ottomans destroyed a crusader navy.

@CyberPunker00
Because Venice was too far away from Cyprus it was a reason....
But more bigger reason was that those Venetians were using these Cypriots as a tool for their own....
They just wanted the money and taxes from Cyprus that's all....
Cyprots were used by the venetians at that time.....
@Marcelo Henrique Soares da Silva
Serious?
If we used them they would've been muslims not Christians.....
Great work guys...wonderful Ottomans serie keep up ;) ...grateful
Thanks for watching!
Very nice video! Great presentation. Well done!
Imagine loving wine so much that you even begin the conquest of Cyprus because of it!
Now imagine trying to win that conquest to make your people drunk. ;D
Sultan Selim II was addicted to wine! That is what cost him life! One day he swiped in the Hamam while chasing a girl! His sultanate marked the beginning of the downfall of Ottoman Empire!

Waking up to another video from Kings 😁👍
Kaleye yapılan 7. ve son taaruzda kalenin en önemli 2 burcu ele geçirildi.
O gece (1 Ağustos 1571) kale komutanı Bragadin beyaz bayrak çekip anlaşmak istediğini bildiriyor.
Yapılan anlaşma gereği olan daha önce hacca giderken esir alınan 50 Türk hacının teslim edilmesi gerekiyor.
Ertesi gün sabah kaledeki italyan ve venedikli ailelerin tahliyesi için Türk donanma gemilerine yükleme başlıyor.
2 Ağustos 1571 tarihinde veda etmek için Lala Mustafa Paşa'nın huzuruna çıkan Bragadin'e bu 50 kişi soruluyor.
Çünkü anlaşma gereği kaledekilerin tahliye işlemleri başlamasına rağmen karşı taraftan esir edilen 50 hacı halen gelmemiştir.
Bragadin "Anlaşma yaptığımız gece bnm haberim yokken o esirleri öldürmüşler. Hepsi ölü" diye cevap veriyor..
Bu cvp üzerine Paşa hiddetleniyor, Bragadin'e "madem öyle yaptınız, anlaşmayı siz bozdunuz" diyerek kendisini idam ettiriyor.
Gemiye yüklenmiş olan eşyalar ve aileler geri indiriliyor. Kalede son kalan 3000 e yakın Venedik askeri esir edilip gemilere forsa, kürekçi yapılıyor.
Was just in Famagusta/Gazimağusa this summer and had a lovely time. There was a mural by the city walls and port describing the battle. Thanks for sharing some of the history.
Went there a few years ago. The food (haloumi!!!) was pretty good.

And it lost the independence war :)
Great! more about Venice and Genoa please
Why have I only just found this channel? Today will mostly be spent binge watching
It's a shame people think the Ottoman Empire started to decline the second Suleyman the Magnificat died. Yes there were hints of decline during Suleyman's reign but the Ottomans would still be one of the most powerful states in the world going into the 1800s. Hopefully in the next video about the Battle of Lepento there won't be a "the beginning of the end" narrative for the Ottomans. As with many other empires like the Roman Empire, the Ottoman decline can't be traced to one specific event but a serious of events that spanned centuries. I know Kings and Generals won't make this mistake like so many over dramatic documentary's from over the years. If I learned something about the historical TH-cam community it's that we strive to learn about all aspects of history and not just a popular narratives. Love you guys and love all of your work! -Ege
selim 2 was competent sultan but inactive one who left all the work for the slave grand vizirs. He organised the succession system in the empire to almost perfect condition. All sehzades were kept in the palace only the oldest one went to a sanjak to learn statecraft and when the current sultan so his dad died he would come to the palace kill his siblings there, pay the janissary and become the new emperor. Better than the previous system where all sehzades would battle for the throne. The empire was too big to handle a crisis like that again. The empire needed stability. He knew how to use the religion when the divan was not okay with his decisions. When he ordered to conquer cyprus the divan did not agree so the day after he said that he saw the prophet in his dream and that he commanded him to conquer cyprus where then everyone obliged like a dog. New sultans could a) rule the empire or b) let the slaves run the empire which most sultans did the b option. But when Ahmet 1 became sultan he decreed to make sibling kill not legal anymore and then whenever a sultan wanted to rule he was deposed whenever a new sultan wanted to reform he was deposed etc. The slave system also was not practiced anymore the positions of grand vizirs etc were literally for sale by paying the janissaries and forcing the sultan to accept X as the new vizir. Ahmet 1 outlawing sibling kill contributed dumb sultans which contributed to the collapse of the devsirme system. Major event is ahmet 1 bro supporting events are american gold that inflated ottoman economy by 50% in one day, east west trade decline and industrial revolution ( which the ottomans had the basis for hundred years earlier than europeans but did not care; taqi ad din's work)
@Muhammed Enam Ahmed 170041036 no read better selim 2 made it almost to perfection by not allowing all sehzades to go to sanjak only the oldest one and when sultan dies he goes to the capitol and kills every claimaint and everyone sucks him since the slaves cannot become sultan or other person since there is no artistocracy in the empire. 2 mehmed legalised 2 selim adjusted it since the empire was too big to handle a crisis. Ahmet 1 did kill the empire not selim 2 lmao. If selim wanted to reform the empire he could have done it but did not. When 2 mustafa,2 osman, 3 selim, 3 ahmet wanted to reform they were deposed or killed because of ahmet 1 when ascending the throne they were not allowed to kill their siblings so when they wanted to reform they were deposed and or killed. When mahmud 2 the reformer of the empire wanted to reform he killed all his brothers and claimaints and sent their bodies to the janissaries who wanted to depose him and the janissaries returned to their barracks. Then the sultan killed them and reformed the empire BUT IT WAS TOO LATE since the west had the upperhand which could not be reversed by that time lmao
Finnaly! Battle of Lepanto is in next episode. Waiting for it so much and so looong. Thank you Kings n Generals for excelent job!
Congratulations for 1 M Subs
Neat channel. Glad that I found it.
Brilliant! I may like the Ottoman Battle series better than the Romans, it's definitely close! Looking forward to the next in the series.
As usual, more on both :-)
@@KingsandGenerals and I'm excited for both!
Fun fact on Marcantonio Bragadin: he was flayed alive and then decapitated, his body quartered and distributed as a trophy to the Ottoman troops. The skin was then stuffed with straw, sewn together with the head and paraded on the streets of Famagusta, to be then brought back to Selim II in Istambul. Years later a venetian merchant stole it and brought it back to Venice. It is now buried in an urn in the Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo.

Love your videos. Please do one with tibetan history
The campaign of the Humayun fleet to Cyprus led by Lala Mustafa Pasha began with several surprise naval raids launched by Damad Biala Pasha on the ports and factories of Venetian ships in Dalmatia, Crete, Italy and Venice itself, burning and destroying more than 200 ships and killing thousands of their men.
A land landing of 60,000 men on Cyprus began on 1 June 1570, a Venetian army tried to repel them near Kyrenia, but were wiped out and lost 12,000 dead. On June 9, the Humayun army seized the city and 40 ventian ships and killed the rest of the remnants of the Venetians.
Then the Humayun army seized Lefkosia after bombarded it for 49 days they sacked the city slaughtering 10,000 Venetians & 20,000 Greeks and seized 150 guns on 9 September..
Larnaca, Limassol, and most of the island surrendered without a fight
Lala Pasha appointed Mustafa Pasha as governor of Cyprus and left him in Lefkosia with 2,000 men
Then he headed to besiege Magusa with 40 ships, while Berto pasha headed with a fleet of 400 ships to Italy and landed in Sicily and managed to besiege the Crusader fleets preventing them of supplying Cyprus
Humayni managed to capture Magusa after being starved for 13 months, & after the sixth assault on August 1, 1571, the entire garrison were massacred.
In the Cyprus campaign, the Humayun army lost 20-25,000 men, the population of Cyprus decreased from 360,000 to 120,000 .. Thousands of settlers were brought from Andalusia and Anatolia, and they settled on the island.

These videos are great! Can you also make some videos on internal Ottoman topics like the economy or society? Topics like the Sultanate of Women, the Tulip period, Tanzimat, Nezimi Cedid, Köprülü Viziers would make great videos too!
Well deserved 1kk subs finally achieved.
Congrats :)
The filagree was made in a square then two pieces punched out of the same pattern but slightly different spots. To make the same pattern on both they needed a bigger section of the filagree so they could match both.
Not gonna lie I thought KnG was gonna say “one of the most persistent opponents the ottomans had met on their quest to conquer the world” 😂😂
You felt like bashing someone this time?
Dandolo's defense had been static, but he was outnumbered more than 10 to 1 (for example, the odds at Malta were much more favourable to the defenders, and the siegers were much less supplied), and Nicosia's walls, altough formidable looking (the project of Giulio Savorgnano was the best the defense tecnology of 16th century could offer, and would have still been considered formidable 200 years later), had been built in only 4 years and were far from completion. Without cavaliers, outer works, and with the ditches still not deep enough, they could offer little more resistance than a embankment, yet, the city resisted for a month and half and fell only to the 15th assault.
For a comparison, in 1683 the odds at Vienna were much more favourable to the defenders, the fortifications were more complete, the defenders even had double the artillery than the Ottomans, that were farther from their bases, yet, after two months of siege, the city was about to fall (the Ottomans had already occupied part of the walls when the relief force arrived) and yet none accused the defenders of incompetence.
Wow can't wait for Lepanto!
These videos always make me want to play total war
Yine osmanlıyı gördüm düştüm
One of the best channels about history.
"Bragadino had his ears and nose cut off and after imprisonment, he was executed". Wow, what a sanitized presentation of that execution. Here's the gruesome details left out: The pasha was so enraged by the execution of the pilgrims (even though there is no historical evidence that that execution ever took place), that he pulled his sword and personally cut one of the Venetian's ears. Then he ordered that the other ear as well as the nose of the general be cut off, and then be put in jail. One can only imagine the agony of headache and lack of sleep during these two weeks of imprisonment. Even every breath must have been a torture.
But the Ottomans had more in store. After they took him out of prison, he was taken on a ship where the Turkish sailors taunted and abused him. Then he was hanged and flayed alive. In order to maximize his pain during the skinning, the exposed flesh was sponged with salty water. After that and while still alive, he was quartered and the pieces were sent to Constantinople for display at the palace as was customary.
The gruesome news reached Europe, and had a big impact on the fighting spirit of the Cristian soldiers and sailors during the Battle of Lepante.
Yes
Nice video I love history base videos
Oh boy Lepanto is right around the corner i can't wait.
About 400 years later history repeats itself when the Turkish army invaded Cyprus in 1974 eventually capturing Famagusta once again
@Emre Al the island including northern Cyprus was majority Greek so how can it be liberation?
@Emre Al tbf to the Greek population of Cyprus, they were being led by a puppet of the Greek Military regime that fell later on. The Turks in my view did violate Cypriot sovereignty, but so did the Greece government. I understand why the Turkish intervention happened and that's acceptable
@Emre Al keep your propaganda and provocative altitude to your country.
@@georgkorea3154 Its not propaganda its the truth
@Emre Al In 1974 no turkish cypriot was harmed before the turkish invasion, the Greek junta and the Greek Cypriot collaborators were killing Greek Cypriots alone...
Knowing that the next episode maybe about the battle of lipanto,could you make a video on the battle of wādi al-makhazin in morocco and what happened to the portuguese afterwards and how it affected them ?
