My name is Vlad Zamfira, history and archaeology graduate from the University of Aberdeen Scotland with a Certificate of Postgraduate Studies also in Venetian and Mediterranean History in the 16th century. History enthusiast, podcast lover and avid historical culture consumer. Focused on the study of Venetian History with additional interest in overall Italian history, Malta, Cyprus, the Ottoman Empire and Spain during Charles V and Phillip II. This podcast will feature all of this and much more so stay tuned for more content!
Hey brother, new to the channel, I was wandering if you could phatom up an episode from Venetian rule in Pirano, one of the strongest colonies in the northern mediterranean, love the videos, I made a whole playlist!
One of our ancestors was made empire of spain palatine knight with power...in Bruxelles february 15th 1548 by Charles-Quint...Hugo Michaud Di Corcelles...even if he was not spanish he was sent with carlos di savoïa's son...and Charles-Quint was so impressed by hugo michaud during his wars that he decorated him...Hugo Michaud Di Corcelles was also the count of nizza/nice and he resisted so brilliantly in nice/nizza against france and gènes that it forced the alliance to sign a peace Treaty with piedmont...
Do you have any recommendations on med history in the latter half of the 17th century in English? I find that half century to be less written about. Probably because so many things went back and forth during that time. What are your thoughts?
A lot of Geoffrey Parker's work is focused on the 17th century that might be a good start. Calendar of State Papers (great resource for most centuries). Scottish historian Ogg, David -- Europe in the Seventeenth Century is decent (and not too outdated)
Not even close. Turgut is a name of Mongolian origin and It was one of the names commonly used among Anatolian Turks. Dragut just corrupted version of Turgut in latin sources.
@@Spartan_Disiplin yes and some say is arabe Darghouth (« Dragon ») and u right abouth Turgut but for me whos a fun fact abouth his name in myy leng or aromanian even slavs i belive means Cute and all derivate from this or even a polite formula to say pls like ..be NICE(Dragut)and give me this ..

I feel that if the Holy League hadn't spent so much time arguing with each other and had Don John just been a bit older (he was too young for such a role, despite doing it well) he would've commanded more respect and unify them and actually aim to conquer the Maghreb and push against the Ottomans. The Ottomans did rebuilt their fleet, but it was inexperienced and built in a rush. A second victory was possible.
Thank you for your valuable contribution in enlightening historical events. I try to learn more about the personality of Andrea Doria, especially his early life. Could you please refer to the sources you have used? 🙏
Thanks for listening. Braudel's The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II will have many references (indexed) of Doria. Thomas A. Kirk's Genoa and the sea: policy and power in an early modern maritime republic, 1559-1684 is also very good source. Bit niche, but there is also a book from the 1860's Francesco Domenico Guerrazzi, Vita di Andrea Doria (more biographical), nevertheless still good. Hope this helps
@@wonderershistorypodcast Many thanks, this helps a lot! I will try to find the book of F.D. Guerazzi, it seems to meet my criteria the most. Wish you further on success and fun with your channel.
Thanks for this podcast. I have always thought it would have been appropriate for the Nobel Prize to have been retro-actively awarded to Braudel for this 'incontournable' masterpiece. The prize had been suspended during WW2 and Braudel wrote most of the work while in a Nazi prison camp. What better way to set the world right, at least in small measure?
I commend you on your employment of data from Excerpta Cypria. Dodging taking a strong line with the Ottomans (as with the Siege of Malta /1565) merely postponed the loss of Cyprus.

That quote by Napoleon regarding the French Revolution. Kubrick would have 100 percent agreed with Napoleon on that. Look at the movie Barry Lyndon. You clearly see the same weaknesses and dark side that plagues the English upperclasses and nobility also plagued the Irish lower classes and peasant classes. That is Kubrick was saying it does not necessarily follow just because you are of the English nobility that makes you a bad person as we see with Barry Lyndon's posh English upper class wife. Or just because you come from the Irish lower and peasant classes makes you top notch wonderful human being. Barry Lyndon unjust and bad treatment of his refined wife from the nobility. In the same way Kubrick showed us how. Back in Ireland his cousin who Lyndon whole life was shaped and influenced by treated Barry Lyndon in the same way Barry Lyndon treated his upperclass English wife in the second half of the movie. Basically Kubrick was saying just because you are lower class person does not automatically make you a good or noble person as Barry Lyndon and his cousin was back in Ireland and being of the English nobility does not necessarily make you a evil or bad person as Kubrick showed Barry Lyndon's wife from the English nobility as a good person and did not deserve the bad treatment she got from Lyndon. In the end his unwillingness to treat his wife well led to Barry Lyndon's downfall and eventually leaving England a broken man and poor without any friends in the world and alone. I think Barry Lyndon is Kubrick;s tribute to those Napoleon quatations. Because Kubrick 100 percent agree with it. Barry Lyndon was as Kubrick once said an extension of his examination of Napoleon. He could not make Napoleon so he made Barry Lyndon instead set around the same time period.
Two movies I would have like to have seen by Stanley Kubrick was Napoleon and The Aryan Papers. But both were never made. Kubrick being Jewish with a German wife and family would have been interesting what his take on the Holocaust would have been like. Napoleon was to be Kubrick's masterpiece but unbeknowns to him living in pre-internet and social media London. He was not aware of the grave financial problems the big Hollywood studios were having Los Angeles in the early to mid 1970s as Hollywood became a ghost town. When Kubrick asked MGM for the big budget necessary to make Napoleon. The Studio bosses in Los Angeles rang Kubrick up and said they are in deep doo dah and dont have the cash to stump up for Kubrick to make his epic Napoleon movie. A tragic loss for the movie world. That Kubrick's Napoleon was a victim of bad timing when the big Hollywood studios were going through a crisis period and were cash strapped after the Golden age of Hollywood had ended.
I don't blame Scott, I blame us for expecting more than this. How can you really do this story justice in one sitting? You can't. Better off just watching Waterloo if you're into the historical accuracy, military thing. It's absolutely amazing.
Four hours of that? No thanks. There's artistic license and then there's fiction. Total wasted opportunity which a load of men hating Hollywood misandrists decided needed a strong independent woman to run the show with a cucked Napoleon...awful film, just skip.
I've only seen a few clips but the filmmakers clearly made some bad choices that make me sure that making the movie longer wouldn't fix it. They felt the need to replace Napoleon's bravado when returning to France at the beginning of the 100 Days with pathetic whining. In a clip I saw, Napoleon whinges that he misses his home and acts sad. In real life, Napoleon just walked in front of the troops with their guns ready to fire at him and said, “If there is any man among you who would kill his emperor, here I stand!” In response, the troops shouted, "Long live the emperor!" and joined Napoleon.
@@wonderershistorypodcastwhen are they going to release that? I've been looking for news on the HBO project for years now and there's been no updates on it. I really hope Ridley's flop of a movie didn't ruin things for the miniseries. I think that was also one of the reasons Kubrick's movie was never made aswell (another similar period movie was made also and didn't do too well)
Though Ridley Scott's was highly esteemed by Kubrick, Scott's -- 'Napoleon' -- seems to me little less than a cheap hijacking of this project, given how many decades had been invested into the idea, and with clear-understanding about Spielberg, recently, having adopted the mantle. SK's idea came to him well-before Scott even made his first motion picture. I love 'Blade Runner,' but RS's maneuver has drained any respect I have for other works he done, or shall do.
Elias is jewish not catholic. There is a bunch of evidence. the most “danming" is his use of the jewish calander to date his letter. heshvan חשון is the second month of the jewish clander and the year 5324 is the jewish year counted from the creation of the world. the second most strong piece of evidence is his comparison of the hatred between greek orthodox and latin catholics to the hatred between 'us and karaites'. karaites are a jewish sect. making the 'us' most likely refer to rabinic aka mainstream judaism. There are somemore hints throughout the text.
Cardinal Baronius used the term for the 10th & 11th centuries. Petrarch himself was possibly one who originated the idea & term. Francesco Guicciardini likewise uses the term as a precursor in his history of Italy. I myself at the University of Aberdeen have heard my tutors and lecturers call the 1100's in Scotland anything from very early medieval to still the dark ages. Some go as far to the 1400's (bit much that for me) but regardless, it is a wide very encompassing terms. Would also ask you the name "most" historians". I've named a few and I can list Prof. Dumville with his courses, Ally McDonald, and pretty much every medievalist I've encountered.
There are so many of these stories, within early modern Scottish History. I recommend the works of Prof. Steven Murdoch, Dr. Allan Kennedy, Dr. David Worthington and so many others. I hope I would be able to make a compilation and narrate it at some point. Scottish history is incredibly rich and fascinating.
Kubrick completely ignores the profound influence of Talleyrand on foreign policy and Fouché on domestic policy. This is a very shallow take on history. Prince Talleyrand, both wily and wise, was instrumental in both the rise and fall of Napoleon, as the pragmatic and versatile Foreign Minister (usually branded as a traitor in France) was loyal to France above any particular ruler. When he saw that a government was bad for France, he engineered "regime change." In fact, it was Talleyrand who as French Ambassador to England in 1834 negotiated the end of the traditional enmity between Britain and France in what is now called the "Entente Cordiale", fostering peace and economic prosperity for both countries. The 4-part 2002 "Napoleon" miniseries, now on RU-vid (made in 3 languages) was far more sophisticated, showing the influence of Talleyrand and Fouché on both Napoleon and France . When Kubric saw it, he knew he'd been outclassed. He made a prudent decision in abandoning his own production.
i think its odvious the venetians were not liked and couldnt risk being attacked again like the league of cambria . moving to the Netherlands and then to england this gets them far away from the ottomans . they control England from behind the scenes therefore they are no longer the bad guy . they use England's taxes and navy instead of paying for one .
