0. Sorry for the late release - rendering 8k videos is painful.
1. Audibooks are really good - I have recently been listening to the Wheel of Time audibooks, narrated by Kate Reading and Michael Kramer - a completely new experience, must try. Audible has all kinds of historical stuff, too, so try it out, that will help our channel immensely: www.audible.com/kingsandgenerals
2. Ottoman series is a mess and we have completely resigned to this fact. It is impossible to form a straightforward narrative, so you will see some jumping back and forth. For instance, a very interesting siege of Klis happened around the same time and we will probably cover it separately. Simultaneously, the Ottomans were fighting the Portuguese everywhere from West Africa to India, but it is hard to present those battles within the main timeline, so expect a standalone episode on that down the line. Still, this series is a perfect vehicle to cover a long period and many regions, so we will run it all the way to 1923.
3. Unfortunately, not all sources are accessible for us. Apparently there is a Croatian retelling of Gorjani, but since we don't know the language and no translation is available. We will try to rectify it down the line.
ok
love your channel!!
8K videos?
I can read Croatian. Do you know what the source is?
Will this series include the Greek War of Independence?
If not, do you or anyone else know of any good videos?
I keep trying to read up on it, but I keep getting confused.
The defense of Castelnuovo was genius. That Sarmiento guy was an incredible tactician. They caused maximum possible casualties. Amazing.
@jaffer raza he didn’t simply lose, he handed his enemy them a Pyrrhic victory.
@jaffer raza 2-3 more of such victories for the Ottoman Empire and Istanbul would renamed to Constantinopol.
@UC5OFgN-wZL1_1Py26t2Elfg if you think it is fake, why did you waste 20 minutes of your life watching an ridiculous outstanding documentary that is factual and true. Have a great day or night whenever you’re reading this 😂🤣
IF this story is true, and not war propaganda from the Christian side.
@@-CMNProductions Maybe is not fake, but only partialy true. As in many of the stories written by the Europeans. In any case, it is only possible to judge if the video is the true story of the facts, by using 20 minutes to listen what it says. The documentary is OK, NOT "outstanding". And the "facts" are the one-sided view of what happened, from the Christian side. Usually full of exaggerations and justifications when it comes to describe a defeat...or a victory...

@@greatwolf5372 Good lads :D
Sarmiento refused to surrender saing: "Come when you want" ("Que vengan cuando quieran"). And when the commander of the last 200 spaniards, Machín de Munguía, was captured, Barbarroja offered him to comand an Ottoman fleet, the response of Machín was spitting on the feet of Barbarroja and saing: "before death that dishonors" ( "Antes la muerte que la deshonra "). And after that he was executed. Sorry for my english. Honor for those brave Spanish soldiers🇪🇸
Our Spaniard ancestors were warriors. Even Hitler revered the Spanish soldiers during WW2.
@Jojo Momo ouu and Suleiman and all other perverted Ottoman sultans were good people, is that what u wanna say?
@Jojo Momo I thought it was called harem not hurrem. They were using these women as sex slaves. And in relation to child molesting, they were also very experienced in that.
@Jojo Momo Yes, do u know that there are different sources claiming that in 1453 when Mehmed II conquered Constantinople he publicly raped the son of the Emperor.
@WILLIAM EWART GLADSTONE tus comentarios siempre resultan patéticos, campeón.
That was not the end of the glorious Tercio though. Time later a handfull of prisoners in Constantinople would manage to break free, steal a friggin boat and arrive to Cartagena (Spain) months later. And the first bloody thing they'd do would be to report to their King as the last survivors of Castelnuovo.

بو فارس بو فارس what does that mean brother?
Finally, I would like to explain that the Spanish tercio name was the name of their "general" Sarmiento. This Tercio retreated in a previous battle during the Italians war. According to the ordinances, if a Tercio unit retreat from battle field they would be disolved and they would be mark as cowards. Luckily for them, a new Ottoman war started and they were giving a second chance to recover their prestige. As they retreated before they have to reject the generous offer from Barbarossa. Death before dishonor.
Invaluable fact.
Where exactly is stated that if a Tercio unit retreated from the battlefield they would be disolved and they would be mark as cowards? Where can I see those ordinances? It seems many myths have been created around the tercios by the Spaniards. The tercios Villalba y Garcíez retired from the Rocroi battlefield, since they surrender.ed The only ordinance for the Spanish tercios existing in this year of 1537, was the Ordenanza de Génova, and it didn't mention ANYTHING about this subject.
You pulled that from your ass. Sarmiento's tercio had received troops from another tercio that had a mutinity and was disolved...
Quick note about Tercios' surprise night attacks: they were made in small units wearing white shirts over their breastplates to make soldiers easily recognize each other. These attacks were named "encamisada" (camisa=shirt) and were deployed by Tercios against all their enemies with great success many times during the 16th and 17th centuries.
@WILLIAM EWART GLADSTONE Sin embargo los Españoles eran muy capaces en este arte como se puede ver en Pavía y en esta batalla.
@William Ewart Gladstone Los ataques nocturnos son peligrosos, en la noche es fácil confundir a los amigos con enemigos, es más fácil perderse, alejarse de tus compañeros, etc... requieren de una disciplina férrea, un gran control de tus tropas, y pocos ejércitos entrenaban para llevarlos a cabo, y muchos ataques nocturnos han acabado en desastre por esto, y por eso pocos generales se atrevían a llevarlos a cabo.
Los atenienses por ejemplo cuando atacaron Siracusa se dedicaron a matarse entre sí al no ser capaces de reconocerse por la noche.
Para eso sirven las camisas blancas, la diferencia es que los tercios se entrenaban habitualmente en ésta táctica para utilizarla sin los riesgos de otros ejércitos. Por eso eran tan efectivas.
No, they didnt go with breastplates. They went basically "naked".. Sometimes they didnt even wear the shirt on his body but wrapped on their head. THey already knew being hit by a bullet while wearing cloth was a recipe for gangrene. No armor, they went as light as possible.
The Spanish Tercio was an absolute beast in the 16th century when led well.
Allways, not a single defeat on that century
@WILLIAM EWART GLADSTONE lo que te han dicho. No eran ni españoles, y la Batalla de las Dunas se inició con un desorden considerable. Justo como han dicho: "si son bien comandados"
@WILLIAM EWART GLADSTONE y no me digas que de la Batalla de Dunas no se habla. Es una de las derrotas españolas más narradas hasta la saciedad.
@WILLIAM EWART GLADSTONE identificas los ejércitos imperiales con los tercios. Estos eran tropas de élite, no hubo más de 30000-45.000 en todo centro Europa. Es decir de esos 55.000 y por la zona me imagino que sean langesnetes alemanes, piqueros suizos y puede ser que alguna unidad de tercio. Pero donde los vas a encontrar es el camino español, defendiendo lo. Metz estaba fuera del camino español, era estratégicamente importante para Francia, no para España y en Centroeuropa. En cualquier caso te recomiendo la Campaña de Frisia y la guerra del palatinado donde se detallan las operaciones militares
@WILLIAM EWART GLADSTONE por cierto en metz había entre 6000-8000 soldados y las tropas imperiales llegaron a tener 50.000 pero por poco tiempo. El asedio fue de 20-25.000 hombres
One hell of a defense in Castelnuovo and one brilliant commander Francisco de Sarmiento!
Vivan los Tercios
Kotor it's a natural fortress and it's very difficult to take .
It’s flabbergasting that they received no aid. Imagine what would have happened if the Spaniards had reinforcements.
Carter Kinoy Like battle of Vienna in 1683.
It's surprising that any of armies stationed on Italy responded to the call
Not one to complain about anything on expertly made videos, but Ferdinand was Charles V brother and not his son. Ferdinand ruled the holy roman empire in the name of his brother until he himself became Emperor after his brother's death. Charles V's son and heir Philpp inherited Spain, Flanders and the american territories of the spanish empire while the empire went to his uncle Ferdinand since ruling all those territories was incredibly difficult at a time with no modern day transportation or communications.
@@gaiusjuliuscaesar4201 That is absolutely correct though I use has a norm to write or say a historical figure's name in the language I am speaking or writing i.e. English. For instance if I was writing about let's say Louis XIV of France in German I would say Ludwig XIV and so on.
Not to complain, but Emperor Charles abdicated the imperial throne, in favor of his brother, in 1556; though Ferdinand delay the elections until 1558 to make sure the princes electors would vote for him.
People here is more occupied voting up memes than (obvious) historical corrections.
Kings and Generals made a mistake. Charles V and Ferdinand were brothers.
@@nunobatista2398 Fernando was born and instructed in Castilla, Spain. That's why his name is Fernando.
On the other hand, Charles I was born and instructed in Ghent, Flanders. I'm not quite sure if his original name was Karel I. I guess that should be the correct way.
Sarmiento stayed to defend Castelnuovo without any possibility before an overwhelming ottoman force. Having received an offer of surrender that would save their lives, they had to choose between life and honor and, of course, it was a spanish Tercio... the unit that dominated battlefields for almost 150 years. If the defenders had been anglo-saxons, Hollywood would have already made two movies... BTW, for us the spaniards is Charles (Carlos) I of Spain and V of Germany, the very first of our Habsburgs.
Usually the defenders of fortified places fought superior enemies, since the fortifications gave them a great adavantage. It is a pity that Spaniards don't have a respectable movie industry, and that their movies are not even accepted among the spanish-speaking peoples in America. But they retaliate begging space on the ANGLO-SAXON social networks to self-glorify their lost empire in every corner. And remember, the spanish tercios only dominated battlefields in Western Europe, not in the whole world. Wit the aid of mercenaries.
First of all you need someone to write you a good script 😂. The storyline looks similar to Spartas 300

Brilliant management of troops in Gorjani and exact opposite in Castelnuovo. Barbaros should have stuck to waters. Heroic fight for Spaniards.
Not so heroic in the end when they retreated and used civilians as shields ..
@@tw3ist Lol, they shielded the civilians themselves not otherwise
@@tw3ist dude, the civilians we're even trying to save the Spanish commander, and he was like, "fuck off, if I'm gonna die, I'll die with honor" and die protecting them.
@@tw3ist I don't think the civilians wanted to be Turkish subjects, so they wanted the defenders to win. Otherwise the siege would not have lasted so long.
Yep it seemed like the populous of Castelnuovo didn't want to be part of the ottoman empire. Then again, the Spanish commander should of took the gold and left to avoid the shed of blood of their own troops and the civilians. This is under the assumption that the commander didn't expect to get any aid.

Since your doing so much on the Ottoman Empire why not do a video on the Ottoman army
Sounds a good propsal!
It should be an extension to the armies and tactics playlist. But they should also include the byzantine empire. Since they already have Phillip/Alexander's armies, followed by the Roman War machine.
But they did recently do a video on the Varangian Guard so maybe it's a work in process.
The ottoman armies seem rather well rounded for all the video I saw , cavalry , artillery , navy and elite Janissary as well as number , seems to be their main characteristics .
@@stormbringer2840 It's not just well rounded though. They seemed to have a professional army that was without peer for centuries. They first conquered their neighbors, then crossed into the Balkans before finishing off the Byzantines. Then later they would absorb the entire Mameluke Sultanate which they would hold into the 1800's. It reminds of the Roman Empire and their Legions, how they just went around dominating everyone. It would be interesting to know why the Ottomans became this powerful.
@@TheDirtysouthfan the Ottomans got that powerful cause they basically were the successors to Rome lol
Can we/i have a documentary about the portuguese-ottoman war. Ive read something interesting on this subject but there is little information about this war. Keep the good work!
That was free time hobby of local Ottoman begs. Central rule never cared about it.
It is really hard to trace because it was not just ottomans or portugese, there were mughals, spaniards, safavids, and the region did not actually get the care it deserved so there are only few accounts, but you can check the history of the cities of Duo and Aden, it covers a large part of the fights.

this ought to be one of the most heroic last stands in history
Castelnuovo (Herceg Novi)'s biggest perk is its topography. It's a very steep town, a nightmare assault, and there are 4 fortresses in the town (the whole town was surrounded by walls and every level was difficult to take. Those steps are killing tourists of the town, cant imagine how exhausting would be to assault those walls from below, for an armed soldier.

The Spanish fort is still standing in the city. This conquest of barbarosa had however big implications for the bay. Since the city of castel nuovo (hercegnovi ) is at the entrance of the bay it hindered the trade in kotor we had many sailing ships and the people were merchants.

Another great video...happy and lucky to watch great work.
feels good to be finally on holidays and being able to catch up with all of your videos. =)
Some others were suggesting this in the comments, but I think if you guys did an Ottoman extension of your armies and tactics series that would be really cool. It would be interesting to see how the military transformed and adapted to the rapidly changing nature of warfare throughout the pre modern era.
Wowzers! Sabaton should make a song about Castel Nuovo, what a battle! And with such brave and devoted men fighting against the Ottomans!
I would love that!

Nah, for Sabaton anything south of Germany apparently doesnt exist

Man that was an epic last stand I love it! Keep up the good work
New kings and generals video? You guys just made my day 20 times better :D
it's amazing what the world has forgotten. thanks for this!
One of those executed after the battle was Captain Machín de Munguía, who had distinguished himself with his company of Biscaymen in the Battle of Preveza, defending tooth and nail, with success, a damaged Venetian galley and harassed by several Turkish ships. Barbarossa offered him to work for him or death, he preferred death and was beheaded on the spot.
I’ve been waiting for this vid.
Well Done boy!!
👍
Awesome video, this battle should be turned into a movie!
The siege in Castelnuovo followed the siege manual having a proportion of 10 attacants to 1defender. Furthermore, they could use the massive artillery without major problem but the surprise attacks from the Spaniards. Furthermore, the medieval walls were non strong enough to resist the artillery. So, the result was known since the beginning.
The only remark to do was that the Spanish Tercio was compose of professional troops that delay the result of the battle more than expected. Furthermore, the Spanish Tercio never lost the position obliging the Ottomans to fight for every single piece of land. The fact that almost 100% of janissaries died during the battle is the demonstration of what I am saying.
As I understand the "fall" of Bagdad to the Turks, the city was voluntarily and willingly turned over since the Sunni inhabitants preferred Turkish Sufi rule or hegemony to being occupied by the Persian She'ites
Yes because the safavids at that point had gone beyond expectations in their sectarian violence. They demolished the tombs of two of the four most prominent scolars in islam ( imam al hanafi and imam ibn hanbal), taxed the non shia heavily, and resolved in some regions to ethnic and sectarian cleansing, so handing over cities willingly was quite prominent in iraq and western iran, like the case of erbil and mosul who were handed over by the kurds to the ottoman sultan selim the first after the battle of chaldiran as a way of gaining protection against the safavids
@@rolex1231 yeah but still the shah regime and the current one still brag about it all day although it is the reason they are actually at war with the region right now whereas without that legacy they could have been the masters of the region by the will of the people. Still the iranian history is so rich and proud that i as an arab, despite what some may say about the arab-pereian animosity can only admire because of it's great contributions, and don't feel ashamed, each land and people have such moments, we arabs are currently living the same because of the primitive and shameful rulers we have who have insluted our history and the common identity and future of the region for generations to come. So best regards and respect bro!
Turkic vs Turkic.
Pretty much. Neither empire was kind to Baghdad - it was hard to defend and neither invested to bring it back to its prestige because of its location. Holding the city was doubly symbolic as it was the historic capital of the golden age, and it was located near the ruins of Ctesiphon. That was it. It was tragically neglected.
Regardless, the Safavids were much more cruel to the sunni inhabitants in baghdad, although Sunni Persians once had amiable relations with the capital that didn't matter as southern Iran was forced to conver to shia islam (most Caspian Iranians and Azerbaijani Turks were already shia, and the shia that existed in the south were of a different sect).
The Safavid elites themselves were rather secular in comparison to their rule. They were intolerant of any region that was not shia. Whether they were sunni, buddhist, zoroastrian. An argument made often was that shia islam was a glue to a heterogeneous society that was only unified loosely by language and culture. The only other faith they were tolerant of was christianity, especially under Shah Abbas who integrated many caucus elites into the Safavid nobility, and considered Sir Robert Shirley his only friend and confidant.
She'ites?
This is very good video. I am on the edge of my seat by just watching powers constantly shifting on the map. East-West-South-North
Another good one! Thanks for uploading!
i must say, i am a little bit surprised about the many counterattacks of the Spaniards. How can a tercio be so mobile that it could work?
They had a type of raid called "encamisada" they attacked by night in small groups with white shirts over the plate to see each other in the dark and attacked enemy camps in order to sabotage and kill many enemies as they could and then leave. And they used only swords and arcabuces.
Spain had the best army of the time.Look how just a few Spainard infantry defeated the Jannisaries several times At Castel nuevo . Heck, had Spsin been able to land its army in England in 1588, we would be speaking Spanish today.
It's the guerrilla type of warfare mastered by the Spanish since the Roman ages of the invasion of hispania, it's the best from to beat up a superior enemy.
john leber
Are you actually English?
@@johnleber3369 Spain did not have the best army of the time. In open field, Jannisaries were more effective. Ottoman army had Europe's first professional and regular troops, the Jannisaries and had the best light cavalry. They also had the artillery advantage. No power did face the Suleiman after the Mohacs. Neither Habsburgs nor their ally Safavids. Tercios are great at defending a well constructed castle but in open field, thats a different story.
Damn it all. I was watching you all day long... Just to see that you actually made a video about Castelnuovo (modern Herceg Novi). A small town i din't even know that such a powerful battle and bravery too place in the same place i live... Great video as always, and greetings from Castelnuovo
Yes I love these episodes, please don’t stop!!
God bless these valiant heroes!
Héroes gloriosos, pues el cielo
os dio más parte que os negó la tierra,
bien es que por trofeo de tanta guerra
se muestren vuestros huesos por el suelo.
Si justo es desear, si honesto celo
en valeroso corazón se encierra,
ya me parece ver, o que sea tierra
por vos la Hesperia nuestra, o se alce a vuelo.
No por vengaros, no, que no dejastes
A los vivos gozar de tanta gloria,
Que envuelta en vuestra sangre la llevastes;
Sino para probar que la memoria
De la dichosa muerte que alcanzastes,
Se debe envidiar más que la victoria.

Would you guys be so nice and could translate?
@@mahoagha3243 Glorious heroes, because the sky
he gave you more part that denied you the earth,
well is that by trophy of so much war
show your bones on the ground.
If fair is to desire, if honest zeal
in brave heart it is enclosed,
I already seem to see, or that it is earth
for you the Hesperia ours, or rises to flight.
Not for revenge, no, you did not leave
To the living enjoy so much glory,
That wrapped in your blood you took;
But to prove that memory
Of the happy death that you reached,
You should envy more than victory.

What Southern Slavs, Bulgars, Romanians and Magyars suffered after the Fourth Crusade, the passage of Ottomans in The Balkans for the weakness of Palaiologos Dynasty (with even civil wars) is always a very impressive and sad story.
For the Spaniards, someone could not agreed with their vision of Worls but their history in the Golden Century is marvellous in every social level. For the House of Austria ambition and religious-political vision the Spaniards paid in blood.
True
The southern slavs, bulgars were quite eager to betray byzantium during the fourth crusade, only the stupidity of the crusaders Made bulgaria their enemy. Plus you forgot the suffering of the greeks during and After the 4th crusade.

@@trollgemomo3823 Moslems, get destroyed for being over confident since their prophet around.
@@morningmidnight9398 go and take a look, truth shouldn't hurt anyone. And if you know how the Spanish Tercios used to fight and what maneuvres and tactical accumen they had, well you'd do well to take it as narrated on the video, just saying...
@@MarkhasSteelfort you are right, but I encourage you to consider the expansion of Spanish armies at that time, and the hard times the Monarchy had to get quick currency (yes, formidable expenses) There are relations of Spanish armies in documents, but those I know are from 1625, even so, I'm referring only to one aspect of a complex reality. On the European battlefield, the Tercios were mostly victorious, usually with inferior numbers, but of course we have to see every case. Spanish were good at winning battles and losing wars (a bit exagerated, they lost battles as everyone did, and won some wars). Unfortunately I dont have accounts with me, but if you take a look during some 150 years everyone at the time was frightened of Spanish soldiers, being of the brink of victory in war, so they got also a bad reputation not always earned. Ottomans were probably the most powerful and also had many fronts, but as in mainland, the Spanish infantry showed in Lepanto how the first «marine» unit could fight on ships, being something akin to the Roman legion for its versatility. Over time enemies developed a way to counter this Tercios way of fighting, with the line infantry. But let me tell you, in Lepanto, Ottomans fought with bows against arcabuces and muskets, even if they had good artillery at the Fall of Constantinople. They didnt have armor and muskets (excepts for the janissaries I think) Maybe in numbers they were far superior, but war can also be doing with less and better trained. Mainland Spain didnt have more than 7 million people at best, this was never a very populated land, except the coast.
@@morningmidnight9398 I lost twice the long comment I was writing, clumsy me!
To summarize: I think I didn´t say Spanish soldiers were qualitatively different from other humans, or superior, that would make me a racist, and I´m not ;) but maybe my words conveyed something different from what I intended, I am bad at this haha
The point I didn´t make before is DISCIPLINE: 2 things make the bulk of this virtue:
1 Organization
2 Morale
Aaand if you read good and different researchs those were the things the Spanish Tercios were renowned for. And there are many accounts. And it seems to have been like that till Rocroi 1643. So, to honor truth is good to keep on researching, and I understand what you mean by accounts of everybody winning but distnace and time can come over that if we have enough sources and people wrting books about this.
Although I don´t want to neccesarily argue, allow me to show you my point with an example that happened several times:
You see a square pike formation with spears pointing up. They start moving towars your unit and the forest of pikes moves in unison. And you realize your square formation is not holding spears coordinately even stopped. The natural thing that happened is retreating or fleeing. you know many battles before the industrial era were not fought, just an exercise of discipline.
Have a good one!
Nice history video showing how much allowing enemies collection in conjunctions producing great mistakes
Great video much love
Thank you
Please make more about spanish history. Battle of Nördlingen for example :)
This proves beyond any reasonable doubt that the Spanish Tercios were the very best and bravest fighting unit of the 16th century.
Looking forward to the eventual video on the battle at Malta.
as a Turk, respect to the Spaniards for their resistance, quite a bloody battle for such a small fortress, I guess it had to be very strategic

Complex??? After all these Ottoman videos that have various conflicting sources, and covering a hell of a lot land and nation, the Turkish Wars of Independence will be a piece of cake.
@@Yasin12378 Turkish War of Independence would be a piece of cake only because there are lots more sources that they can use since it happened in a recent time, not because it's not complex. All these Ottoman videos have various conflicting sources yes but in the end they take an estimated and logical number from history professors or such, it's not like they search libraries for years.
