Hungarian History Podcast – Episode 8 / Mohács 1526

🎙️ Episode 8 – The Battle of Mohács: Cavalry, Chaos, and Collapse

In this episode of the Hungarian History Podcast, we take you to one of the most tragic—and misunderstood—days in Central European history.

August 29, 1526.
On the fields of Mohács, the fate of a kingdom is decided in just a few brutal hours.

But this is not just the story of defeat.
It is a story of warhorses and riders, of elite Hungarian knights and overconfident warriors, of strategy, panic, and unexpected strength.

We’ll explore how the Hungarian cavalry fought with deadly precision, how their tactics almost turned the tide, and why the death of King Lajos (Louis) II changed everything.
