Episode Barbarossa: The Pirate Who Ruled the Ottoman Seas
Hayreddin Barbarossa rose from a pirate on Lesbos to become Suleiman the Magnificent's grand admiral. This episode follows his early raids with brother Oruç, his capture of Algiers, and his decisive victory at the Battle of Preveza in 1538, which gave the Ottomans naval supremacy in the Mediterranean for decades. We explore how a Greek-born corsair integrated into the empire, the tactics he used against Andrea Doria's Holy League, and his lasting legacy in Istanbul. A story of faith, ambition, and the flexible talent system that held the Ottoman Empire together.
