The Ottoman Turks began their Siege of Vienna on the 27th of September 1529. Suleiman the Magnificent led the Ottoman Empire’s first attempt to take Vienna.
The siege ran until the 15th of October, when the Christian Coalition defeated the Ottomans.
Austrian troops clash with Turks outside Vienna.
Suleiman the Magnificent has a great ring to it. If I ever become emperor, I think I will have to change my name. ‘Pete the Magnificent’ just doesn’t have the same gravitas.
Best wishes, Pete.
