Welcome to the Hungarian-Ottoman Wars!

In this blog, I would like to share with you an exciting but little-known or understood period. It was a real-life Game of Thrones, with all of Europe itself as the ultimate prize. Its events had many far-reaching consequences that still affect our lives today in many surprising ways.

To fill the gap in English-speaking social media, I started my Facebook page “Hungaries 1632” in 2016.

The term ” Hungaries ” was created to describe the Hungarian-Ottoman wars on the lands of the Kingdom of Hungary, Transylvania, and the Ottoman-occupied lands. Now the page is called “Hungarian History 1366-1699” for better understanding.

My goal is to tell the properly researched story of how the Hungarians and many soldiers from Europe fought against the might of the Ottoman Empire from 1368 to 1699.

Who were the warriors of the Valiant Order, the last knights of Europe? I want to recount their battles along the 1,000-mile military Borderland that separated the Christian and Muslim worlds for so many generations. At the same time, I would like to describe all their castles and strongholds.

I hope that I do justice in telling these stories so that we can properly honor our ancestors.

Here is my Facebook page Hungarian History 1366-1699 (formerly it was called “Hungaries 1632”):

Please note that I deliberately use the Oriental name order for Hungarians, where the surname comes first.
