Zulfikar Introduces the Janissary Corpse | Magnificent Century: Kosem

[@bartolomeestebanmurillo4459]

What I love about this show is the development of the Janissaries and a glimpse into their organization and how they operated. These guys were feared in the 16th century but overtime they sought more personal power and became stagnant as a result. They were finally defeated by Sultan Mahmud II in 1826.

The one thing I like about MCK is that it fleshes out the Janissary Corps rather well. Already in these first few episodes we learn plenty about how Janissaries are introduced into the Corps and their rules

[@AdamJatla]

we all know the ottomans wiped out the janissaries in the 19th century, but many of their descendants are still alive today in north africa, in libya, tunisia, and algeria. i’m one of them. my ancestors served in tripoli, specifically in a city called misrata, where their mission was to protect the city from the knights of malta, who frequently raided the coast. later, the karamanli dynasty took power in libya, they started arresting the sons of janissaries because of the wealth they had amassed from the state. as a result, many fled to tunisia. This is just one of the many stories of the janissaries who served in north africa

Well Adam my brother I think you might have relatives in East Europe. (Janissaries were taken from orthodox xtian families)

@@आयुष_पराशर yes, indeed. as a matter of fact, the janissaries who remain in libya today have formed their own tribe, named the rumelia tribe, (due to the ongoing presence of tribalism in the country). the word "rumelia" is a turkish name for the balkan region
