Beskrivning
In 1522, the Ottomans attacked the island of Rhodes and, after a six-month siege, the Hospitallers surrendered on terms. The Knights Hospitaller had ruled Rhodes since 1309, and the Ottomans had attempted to capture the island 40 years before in 1480, but were defeated by the Knights. The Ottoman victory in 1522 resulted in the Knights being expelled from the island and eventually settling in Malta, Gozo, and Tripoli and the Ottomans obtaining domination over the Eastern Mediterranean and its trade.This collection of essays, published on the 500th anniversary of the siege, explores such question as why Suleiman the Magnificent attacked Rhodes, what made the 1522 siege successful, and how the Rhodian population, the Knights Hospitaller, the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, and Europe in general were affected by the loss of Rhodes. The answers to these questions are explored in new research by expert historians and archaeologists in their field.This book will appeal to all those interested in the Knights Hospitaller, Ottoman History, Crusader Studies, and Early Modern European History.

Recensioner i media

'Overall, the volume opens up interesting new perspectives on the event, not least because it is largely based on intensive source studies. The contributions of the distinguished international group of authors make it clear that the siege was of great importance not only for the history of the eastern Mediterranean, but also for the Latin West and the further development of the Order' - Jürgen Sarnowsky, Ordines Militares XXX (translated from German).‘The contributions to this volume were prepared and assembled in the context of a global pandemic, and no doubt the connections between the papers that this reviewer has attempted to highlight would have emerged at the planned conference that was never held. It is a testament to the contributors and the editor that the result is both informative and stimulating, despite the limitations they faced and overcame’ - Crusades, Volume 24:2.
