Sultan Suleiman invades Hungary, Queen Mary escapes (Carlos, rey emperador)

The Turks, led by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, invade an important Christian kingdom of Europe, Hungary - destroying the Hungarian troops at the Battle of Mohács on 29 August 1526, killing the 20-year-old king Louis II, and even capturing and raiding the capital, Budapest. The news crushes Europe and everyone fears for the Christendom. The late King Louis's once beloved wife and queen, now widow, Mary of Austria, barely escapes and goes west to her family - her aunt Margaret of Austria and her brother Ferdinand. (Ferdinand inherits the title 'King of Hungary' through his wife, the only sister of Louis II, because Louis and Mary had no children.) Mary's and Ferdinand's brother, Emperor Charles V decides to help to defend Europe as much as he can, sending money to his brother to recruit troops against the advancing Turks. In the meanwhile, King Francis I of France is a Christian king happy for the Ottoman victory, for Suleiman is one of his greatest allies. s01e09 'Carlos, Rey Emperador' is a Spanish TV series about the life of Charles of Habsburg, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain, the most powerful man in his time. (Sorry for grammar mistakes in the translation.) I own nothing. If you like the video, watch the series on RTVE.
