    "She [Tolkien’s aunt Grace] alleged that the family name ['Tolkien'] had originally been ‘von Hohenzollern’, for they had emanated from the Hohenzollern district of the Holy Roman Empire. A certain George von Hohenzollern had, she said, fought on the side of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria at the Siege of Vienna in 1529. He had shown great daring in leading an unofficial raid against the Turks and capturing the Sultan’s standard. This (said Aunt Grace) was why he was given the nickname Tollkühn, ‘foolhardy’; and the name stuck."

    Juat to add a little more info:
    In addition to the German Landsknechts, a contingent of 700-800 Spanish harquebusiers was sent. Only 250 Spanish survived. This elite infantry excelled in the defense of the northern area and with discretion fire prevented the Ottomans from settling in the Danube meadows, near the ramparts, where they could have breached with enough space to work. These elite soldiers also built additional palisades and trap pits that would be essential during the siege. They were under the command of Marshal Luis de Ávalos, with captains Juan de Salinas, Jaime García de Guzmán, Jorge Manrique, and Cristóbal de Aranda.

In 1529 Vienna mostly only had its medieval walls who were no big match for cannons.

    After the sieges of Vienna, young Ottoman Sehazades (Princes) throughout the centuries often talked about finishing the job Sultan Suleiman had started and dreamed of besieging Vienna again even though the Ottoman state was declining in power. This mentality stuck all the way to WW1 where the Ottomans still believed that one day their dying empire would reach the gates of Vienna once again. Vienna was the golden apple that the Ottomans would crave for centuries to come after 1529. Great Video as always :D

    It's worth noting during the Siege of Vienna that the seventy-year-old Nicholas, Count of Salm, was wounded by a falling rock. He would ultimately die from his wounds a few months after the end of the siege, on May 4, 1530.

      the cannon carts got stuck in the mud because it was constantly raining. During the reign of Suleiman I, the Hungarian army, which made a field war with the Ottomans, was destroyed. The Germans were afraid to fight. Suleiman's German expedition is famous. The Germans hid and could not fight.

    Kings and Generals, you did an excellent job with this summary. Thank you for your hard work!
    I hope you don't mind if I provide additional context. I get the impression that some commentators prefer to understand this era in simple comic book fashion black and white / good vs. evil tropes. The reality was far more complex.
    János Szapolyai remains a very controversial figure in Hungarian history.
    1. Some consider him a self serving traitor. This argument points to the fact that Szapolyai never arrived with his forces to help King Louis II of Hungary fight the Ottomans at Mohacs. They argue that he deliberately held back, because he coveted the crown. In addition, these claims also suggest that his selfish ambitions led to his selling out to the Ottomans.
    2. Others argue that Szapolyai did not arrive to Mohacs on time due to logistical issues and severe difficulties with the terrain. They also argue that once the Ottomans conquered the Hungarian Kingdom, Szapolyai had no other option, but to seek the aid of the Ottomans in order to save the country from Austrian incursions to conquer the Kingdom of Hungary.
    Ferdinand was also a controversial figure and most Hungarians seem to have a similar view of this ruler, which is honestly not very positive. Most believe that Ferdinand used a weak claim to the throne as a means to usurp the Hungarian Crown and conquer Hungary at a time when they needed help from these Islamic invasions. In the vernacular, he kicked them when they were down. Regardless, it is very clear that the Hungarian crown has been the ambition of every Habsburg ruler ever since King Matthias Corvinus conquered Vienna from Frederick III and held it until his death. Furthermore, Ferdinand did not respect ancient Hungarian laws under the Holy Crown which were solidified by the Golden Bull of 1222, so many Hungarian nobles were justifiably concerned that they will have to deal with a despot if Ferdinand were to become king. These fears became reality as Ferdinand proved to be extremely brutal against those Hungarians who opposed him.
    It's an oversimplification to state that the high nobility supported Ferdinand and the lesser nobility supported Szapolyai. As your video correctly stated, the Kingdom of Hungary was in shambles after Mohacs (one King, 28 barons, 7 Prelates and a majority of the county governors were killed) and the entire royal court was essentially destroyed. This misunderstanding stems from a proclamation the lesser nobility made in 1505 stating they they will only support a Hungarian as ruler as opposed to foreign ruler. While it is true that the lesser nobles fully supported Szapolyai, one must also state that the majority of upper nobles also supported Szapolyai as was evidenced by the Diet of of 1526. The legitimacy issue had more to do with a legal issue concerning a handful among the upper nobility who supported Ferdinand (see below).
    Many don't know that the Ottoman army actually left Hungary after the battle of Mohacs. Some historians claim that Suleiman could not believe that the Hungarian Kingdom fell so easily, because the Ottomans had been fighting the Hungarians for close to 150 years and something like this never happened (Of course years of civil wars of succession after Matthias Corvinus didn't help).
    Szapolyai was one of the few nobles left with a strong standing army, so it is reasonable to assume that Szapolyai either took advantage of the situation to proclaim himself king, or felt that this was the opportunity to consolidate the nation and rebuild before the Ottomans returned (depending on how one views Szapolyai). At the same time, Ferdinand invaded Hungary to conquer it based on his claim to the throne. In essence, Hungary was fighting a war on two fronts, or as they saying goes, they stood between two pagans. As a side note, Ferdinand came to an agreement with the Ottomans once he got what he wanted. So much for defending Christianity.
    After the Ottomans left, Szapolyai assembled what was left of the Hungarian nobility to form a diet and elect a new ruler. Szapolyai also had physical possession of the Holy Crown, which was the most important symbol of Hungarian royal rule. He also had the support of the remaining senior Prelate of Hungary who crowned him once the national assembly elected him king. Outside of one important aspect, Szapolyai had met every legal condition to become the legitimate king. The one important aspect missing was the support of the regent. If the King was not available, then only the regent could call a national assembly. The regent at this time was István Báthori who sided with Ferdinand and thus never endorsed Szapolyai's national assembly. Some argue this nullified Szapolyai's legitimacy and his rule was the first (and only) time in Hungarian history where a king ruled without a regent.
    As mentioned above, Ferdinand had a very weak claim to the Hungarian throne. Ferdinand's claim was based on a promise by the Jagello Vladislaus II of Hungary after they were victorious in Hungarian civil war against the King Matthias Corvinus' son and his supporters. However, this agreement was never ratified by the Hungarian national assembly who had the right to elect a new king. Technically speaking, Sigismund I of Poland had a stronger claim to the Hungarian throne than Ferdinand.
    As you can see, this is an extremely complex situation and the jury is still out on Szapolyai's role in Hungarian history. For his part, Ferdinand's legitimacy remains questionable and one could reasonably argue that consequently, the entire Habsburg line's legitimacy is questionable.
    The Ottomans soon realized what was going on and entered Hungary once again. This is where your story begins.

      There are two groups of Sipahis. First group is Timarli Sipahis. When a janissary or a successful soldier retired from army the authorities gave him a place to settle.(A number of villages or towns) This placed called as Timar’s. Then the soldier recruits and trains cavalry units to fight for Ottoman Army. These horsemans were used composit bows and some short range weapons.
      The second group is Kapikulu Sipahis. These were the elit shock cavalry and companions of the Sultan. (Still they were not nobles just professional soldiers.)
