Hungarian History Podcast / 13 – Troubles in Transylvania, 1551

đŸ”„ Intrigue, Betrayal, and the Shadow of Siege đŸ”„

Transylvania, 1551. An uneasy alliance shatters. The White Monk — Martinuzzi György, cardinal, statesman, and master of intrigue — meets his fate in one of the most infamous political assassinations in Hungarian history. As the Ottomans and Habsburgs circle like vultures, the frontiers of Hungary erupt into fire.

🎙 In the latest episode of the Hungarian History Podcast, we trace the deadly chain of events from palace intrigue to the launch of the great Ottoman campaign of 1552. You’ll hear how this campaign set the stage for the fall of VeszprĂ©m, the heroic stand at DrĂ©gely, and the defense of Eger — sieges that will each be told in full detail in future episodes. This is the outline before the storm
 and next time, we march to the siege of TemesvĂĄr Castle.
