- Our animated historical documentary series on the Ottoman history continues with the siege of Vienna of 1529. As the Ottoman sultan Suleiman won the battle of Mohacs in 1529 and managed to take over most of Hungary, but this now he was facing the might of the Holy Roman Empire led by the Habsburg dynasty. The siege of Vienna would be the high point of the campaigns of this period.

WE ARRIVE IN A 154 YEARS I TELL YOU
I was excited when I saw Siege of Vienna, then I saw 1529 and had the same reaction. oooooh no Winged Hussars yet, oh well this will be good anyway. lol
In a way, this first Siege was much more important. Ottomans were at the height of their power. Had they taken Vienna back then, they could've advanced much further. While by 1683, not so much.
@@DavveRM Earlier. Poles will intervene in 1619 in the so-called "First Vienna rescue" at Battle of Humenné which will later lead to Polish-Ottoman war that will be ended in the first battle of Khotyn. One of the biggest battles of the XVII century.
@@Vitalis94 True. Not discounting the siege at all, for a moment I was looking forward to all the Sabaton memes though. lol That being said the letter to Suleiman "Your breakfast is getting cold," is pretty awesome.
When the Ottomans left , they left behind their coffee recipes and presses. This is how espresso type coffee was introduced to Europe. It was called Cafe Vienna and the presses later got modified in Italy which gave rise to the current form of espresso. Starbucks owes its existence to the Siege of Vienna!

Typical Habsburg tbh. They were probably the first dynasty to send generals instead of leading armies personally.
He really would have had no chance, they’d be outnumbered 10 to 1 against an extremely experienced and capable army (unlike the one his Hungarian rival was sporting).
@@ValensBellator The Ottoman army was at its most vulnerable at that point having had the weather completely fuck their logistics up. Numbers didnt really matter while laying siege to a town in this era
@@luvfootball4life96 It feels to me like the Ottomans had the same problem with their heavy artillery pieces during the Second Siege, if I remember correctly the bad roads on the way to Vienna forced them to leave most of their heavy cannons behind.
Only stupid leaders try to die early in a war... Why should he take a risk that was not necessary for the outcome of the war? And Vienna at that time had not the importance as the center of the empire it later gained. Btw. the walls of Vienna are depicted wrong as the ones of the second Turkish siege. In 1529 Vienna mostly only had its medieval walls who were no big match for cannons.
"Your breakfast is getting cold" This is the late medieval version of Come and get It. 100% deserved win
They didn't even come out from castle to give a decisive battle and you're saying it's deserved win :3
@@kaoserahmed4638 A win is a win, give credit where credit is due
@@kaoserahmed4638 a win is a win
Im a turk myself and I dont get why some are salty about this.
The austrians had won a 5vs1 battle against a nation that captured constantinople ~70 years before and they for sure deserved the win.
And thats how a siege works, the defender stocks up and stay inside and the attackers surround the city, cut them off and attack.
at the end of the day a win is win I agree with that . My question is why a mighty empire didnt offer face to face battle ? Look at Michael the brave . He was so much determined with a little principality and offer so much battle to ottomans . On the other hand hubsbarg emperor just changed his castle form Vienna .
"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."

I had always suspected that this battle was the inspiration for the Siege of Minas Tirith, but this comment confirms it. Thanks! Great info to share with my nerd friends.
I think it’s more likely the later Siege of Vienna is more of an inspiration
@@thecommoner544 If you read about the Siege of Malta, I think that siege is like the one at Helm's Deep.
Bruh Tolkien is descendant of Imperial House of Hohenzollern
So idea of Mordor inspired by Ottoman Empire?
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
DiscordChaos I agree 100%
Saguntum-Iberian-Greek Konstantinopoli Yes the Ottomans did think that. They believed up to there last moment that they could reverse their misfortunes from the last couple centuries and make a comeback on the world stage. Very interesting topic indeed

Those quotes are absolute gold. Love the Ottoman campaigns probably because there are a lot of underdog stories and shaky alliances who fight them- good stuff.
Agree
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.
Those same Spaniards made exits outside the walls in which they killed many Turks. They called those outings "going out to harvest". In one of those outings they killed 1200 Ottomans who were resting eating grapes. They were mercilessly slaughtered.
It is so aberrational to still see the effects of the Black Legend, when you see that any achievement or reference to the old Spanish empire is erased from books. Above all, it is surprising to see this on history channels.

Funfact: suleyman's mother is the daughter of a Crimean khan. The Crimean khanate traces their lineage to jochi(chengis khan's grandson)
Jochi was the eldest son of Genghis Khan, not the grandson. Tuq-Timur, the thirteenth son of Jochi, established the Crimean Khaganate.
Chi Zhang or maybe not. Even Genghis Khan isnt quite sure if Jochi his biological son or not 🤔
@@dimassokowati9778 That's true. Though Genghis Khan himself often emphasized Jochi was his biological son in public, other sons of Genghis still disdained Jochi, which set up the prelude of the Mongol succession crisis and civil war. Founders of both the Yuan dynasty and Illkhanate were children of Tolui and against Islam. Eastern Europe and Central Aisa Khaganates that followed the Golden Horde were descendants of Jochi and favor Islam.
What u fuckers say about Juchi Khan is unacceptable. He was son Chinggis Khan and this is fact. Mongols would never allow not their biological son to rule a entire state. Golden Horde was one of the powerful states in their time

As the Ottomans advanced towards Vienna, the city's population organised an ad-hoc resistance formed from local farmers, peasants, and civilians determined to repel the inevitable attack. The defenders were supported by a variety of European mercenaries, namely German Landsknecht pikemen and professional Spanish harquebusiers sent by Charles V.[20][21]

Landsknecht vs Jannissaries.
Knights vs Sipahis.
That's the match I'll hope to see
I can understand Landsknecht and Janisseries but Knights are elite (and noble) cavalry units while Sipahis are lightly armored average Turkish cavalry unit. Their fighting styles are different, their skill in battle is different.
@@evrensaygn1017 I have not so great understanding of the ottoman armies, I thought the sipahis were shock cavalry. Correct me if Im wrong and since it seems so, do the Knights have an equivalent in the Ottoman army? I don't remember what's the name of the elite warrior nobility of the Otomans, thogh being an Asian elie, I assumr they're hrose archers
@@Velkan1396 Ottomans and Turks don't value heavily armored knights we are more like a hit and run tactic using people from the steppes we play the long game not the quick immediate pitch battle style. Both of these tactics have their pro's and con's ofcourse but obviously I prefer my ancestors hit and run tactic because we won more battles than europeans did with their knights and the mongols were also very succesfull and they too used the quick horse archer style cav.
@@Velkan1396 actually, ottomans relied on vast numbers to overwhelm and encircle their enemies .
As spahi ware their shock troops and their equivalent to the European shock troops but they are still lighter compared to that of the Ottoman's . Even polish hussars or uhlan ware heavier then spahi and french curasuiers ware the heaviest cavalry of all time they ware truly the greatest
As for landkthnet ,in melee battle they will have the advantage due to their armours but if it involves gun powders than janniseries will have adge over them but not by much.
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.)

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.
I am very impressed with the editing and graphics in this video, you guys have come a long way. Keep it up
Great part, as always. I'm waiting for movie about Battle od Vienna 1683 :)
Best regards
Please do Siege of Szigetvar and Siege of Malta as well. Great video as usual.
The winner of this battle The Weather
It’s hardly just the weather. Even without snow how long the Turk army would have stayed? Another week when the winter will come anyway? Suleiman new that siege had to be finished and the city taken before winter. The losses they suffered on the way are just mistakes of logistics.
@erick meyer the Spanish armada
@@chuckvader1656
Because of bad weather they couldn't bring their "good" heavy cannons for the siege, which would have broken the walls and they lost horses and camilles which were a logistical and a supply line for the Ottomans.
Scofield11 Yes, this are mistakes of logistics. They are marching during the spring, what they are expected - 30 degrees C and roads covered with asphalt? If you can’t do something or just missed or you don’t know how to do it, you are looking for excuses (weather).
@@chuckvader1656
They didn't build roads, if they built roads then it wouldn't have been a problem, they owned Bosnia for 70 years up until that point and they still didn't build roads.
Also most campaigns start in Spring/Summer.

BRILLIANT!!! 5 STARS Thank You
Great job as always! Huge respect for your work from Brazil! I imagine that the core of the Bosniak rural youth was serving under the Ottomans via devshirme.
Devshirme was forced Most Bosniaks joined voulantarily this us due to huge hate towards Catholics for the persecution of Bosnian heretics.
@TheExplorer and maybe become a majestic Pasha or Vizier like Sokollu or Rustam ⚔
Hello guys, thanks for the answers! Are you Bosnians? You think that Bosnian Bogumils Lords who became Muslim would serve as light cavalry Sipahi or heavy cavalry as they were once?
@@annabiaa1000 Yes mostly Sipahis Bosnian royalty Kosaca and Kotromanici converted to Islam aswell and became rulers of the newly formed Bosnian pashaluk.
"Your breakfast is getting cold". One of the best lines in European war history for sure.
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.
@@yusuf3005 its sad how you can’t get over the fact that the Ottomans lost. Go cry little baby 🤣

@@runyosso1040 But still you are feeling the ass kick. The turks put a fear to Europe that shocked them. You can see that fear shows up in arts and writings
There's something that Kings and Generals forgot to say: In this siege there were also some spanish soldiers defending the city.
Excellent work ! Cheers
THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED! ... Oh... wait... not yet... not yet. See ya in 1683, Ottomans.
Then the Spanish Tercios arrived.
Poland has bad internet, thats why it took them until 1683 to reach Vienna due to bad lag

Another fantastic video. Thanks Kings and Generals :)
Thanks for watching!
Janissaries, Landsknechts, Great Bombards, Suleiman the Magnificent... this or the Siege of Malta would make a great Ridley Scott movie.
You didn't mentioned, that not only landsknehts enforced garrison but also spanish infantry. Their role was significant
Soldiers and their grim sense of humor, I love it. I can imagine that several tables in Vienna actually set a plate for the Sultan just so they could have a laugh before facing battle.

2 grandes personajes históricos vivieron en la misma época Carlos I (rey de España), V (emperador de Alemania) y Suleiman I (rey o monarca de los otomanos), padisha (gran rey o emperador) ambos poseían tanto dignidad real como imperial cosa que sucedió raras veces en la historia.
as always, Kings and Generals provides us with a very interesting interactive historical videos, keep up the good work !
Thanks, we will!
Information is true but respect our history kings and generals
You make my day Kings and generals
You should post stuff about the Ottoman Elite janissaries and the Swiss Mercenaries and Hungarian Black Army etc .That would be amazing to learn about.
Black army was hunted like dogs after their leader died.
Janissaries were an army made from Greek boys,stolen from their family, rather like a head tax,made Muslim, like a personal army to the sultan, made to be a cruel and savage Corp, and happily killing Christian. .....that was the "pedomazoma",child -harvesting........
Janissaries are Balkans. Akimcees are Anatolian. Siphai are Roumelian and Antalioan. Bashi bazouk are Afghan. Silahtar are Turks.@@Irene-iu9sj
