Abstract

The article "BLUNTING THE SULTAN'S SPEAR" from the History of War journal recounts the 1532 invasion of Suleiman the Magnificent in Koszeg, Hungary. Despite the Ottoman Sultan's military prowess, the small fortress of Koszeg, defended by Nikola Jurišic and a small garrison, held out against the mighty Ottoman force. The siege of Koszeg, though ultimately unsuccessful for the Ottomans, marked a significant moment in the conflict between the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburgs, showcasing the resilience of the defenders against overwhelming odds.
