🎙️ Episode 10 — After Mohács: Resistance, Rebellion, and a Deal with the Sultan;
The Hungarian History Podcast with Szántai Gábor, the only English voice about Hungarian history on social media.
Before the catastrophe at Mohács in 1526, Queen Maria of Habsburg blocked all attempts to negotiate with the Ottomans.
After the king’s death, her brother Ferdinand of Habsburg claimed the Hungarian throne, promising that he and Emperor Charles V would defend the realm.
But behind the curtain?
Ferdinand’s envoys were offering tribute to the same sultan they claimed to oppose. They proposed an even greater sum than King Szapolyai had ever offered.
In this episode, we uncover what happened in the chaotic years after Mohács:
⚔️ The forgotten resistance at Pusztamarót in 1526 – where Hungarian peasants and nobles made their last stand.
🔥 The Serbian uprising of Cserni Jován in 1527 – a brutal internal war that tore through the southern frontiers.
🕊️ And the secret negotiations of Szapolyai’s envoy in Istanbul – a desperate diplomatic mission that worked.
This is the missing link between Mohács and the Castle Wars that followed.
Tune in — and discover the story that Europe forgot.
