So get this: 1444, Ottoman Sultan Murad II signs a peace deal with Hungary and then decides that’s it, his work here is done, the empire is saved forever, and gives the throne to his twelve-year-old son. Did he want to take it easy and figured his boy could handle himself? Was this some kind of scheme to teach his son valuable life lessons? Was he attempting to develop a Disney Channel original series? We may never know. Whatever the case, the Hungarians noticed, and hardly after the ink on that peace treaty was dry one of the cardinals was pushing the king to go back to the battlefield. And that’s how the tween sultan found himself leading his first war. It would not be his last.
