Alp Arslan, Seljuk Emperor humiliating Romanos Diogenes

Alp Arslan: "What would you do if I were brought before you as a prisoner?"
Romanos: "Perhaps I'd kill you, or exhibit you in the streets of Constantinople."
Alp Arslan: "My punishment is far heavier. I forgive you, and set you free."

Jan Samuel Chrzanowski (Battle of Trembowla)

200 Polish peasants + 80 Polish soldiers hold off 30,000 Ottoman Turks + Tatars




http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Samuel_Chrzanowski


During the Polish-Turkish war in 1675, a 30,000 strong Turkish army aided by Tartars led by the Sultan Serder's son in law Ibrahim Szyszman, invaded present day Ukraine. After conquering Zbaraż (July 27, 1675) and Podhajec (September 11, 1675) about 10,000 soldiers of the Turkish army arrived in Trembowla. The town of Trembowla was destroyed, but the castle, which was defended by about 80 soldiers, a handful of nobleman and around 200 peasants, all led by Jan Samuel Chrzanowski, withstood the Turkish armies advances for over two weeks. On October 11, 1675 the Turkish army withdrew its forces upon hearing that Polish forces led by the Polish King Jan III Sobieski were nearing. In a camp near Buczacz King Sobieski gave Chrzanowski the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Chrzanowski's acts of bravery became famous in all of Poland, and in 1676 he was asked to stand before the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth's Sejm wherein he became nobilitized under the coat of arms of Poraj, while also receiving a reward of 5,000 złoty.
From 1676 he became the commandant of Lwów. From 1682 he was the Podstoli of Mielnic.

In the summer of 1675, a 30,000 strong Turkish-Tatar army under Sisman Ibrahim entered Red Ruthenia, a province of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. On July 27, the invaders captured Zbaraz, on September 11, Podhajce, and on September 20, the Turks approached Trembowla. The castle was defended by a small unit of 80 infantry soldiers, some members of the local nobility, supported by 200 poorly armed, untrained peasants and residents of the town, who fled to the castle. Before the siege, a unit of dragoons stationed here, but was ordered to leave Trembowla, due to food shortages. Polish forces were commanded by Captain Jan Samuel Chrzanowski, whose wife, Anna Dorota Chrzanowska (née Anna Dorota von Fresen), became immortalized after the siege.
Despite Turkish efforts, the defenders of castle managed to hold their positions after several attacks. After several days, however, shortages of food and water became severe, and Captain Chrzanowski decided to surrender. His wife disagreed with this decision, and threatened to commit suicide if her husband proceeded with the planned surrender, thereby stiffening his spine and creating an atmosphere for defending the castle. Furthermore, Anna Dorota urged the defenders to carry out an attack on Turkish positions, which resulted in heavy losses among the invaders. Chrzanowska’s determination raised the morale among the Poles, but their loses were also heavy. In the night of October 4/5, only 20 soldiers were able to fight. Facing danger from forces of Jan III Sobieski, which concentrated near Lwow, the Turks decided to end the siege on October 11.
In 1676 Polish Sejm allowed the Chrzanowski couple to become the szlachta, with the right to use the Poraj coat of arms. They became celebrities, famous all over the Commonwealth and abroad. In 1683 Chrzanowski was named stolnik of Smolensk and Mielnik, and a monument of his wife was erected in Trembowla. The story of Anna Chrzanowska inspired Polish painters and writers alike, for example she was a heroine in a drama written by Józef Wybicki. Furthermore, Zofia Kossak wrote a novel Trembowla, and Andrzej Waligorski wrote a poem "Piesn o obronie Trembowli", which was performed by Andrzej Chyla.

Can you prove it by a book of an academic historian?

Turks proved unable to conquer most of Hungary, they were conquered only 1/3 part of Hungary.
Because Hungary was a western (catholic-protestant) country, and we have castle defense system.
Orthodox balkan slavic countries had no castle defense systems, therefore they lost their independence with a single battle.

Orthodox balkan slavs hated the Western Christians more than the Ottomans. Therefore the conquered Orthodox balkan slavic countries fought against Hungary and the Habsburgs.

Lajos Kossuth was supported by US and British diplomacy, that's why Turkey invited them. Kossuth became an American and English legend, long before the 1848 revolution. He had enormous influence in British Italian American liberals, and German nationalists (german nationalists wer anti-Habsburgs). Kossuth speeches created the Crimean war against Russia.

Scanderberg, God of all Albos together with Eugene of Savoy and Vlad the Impaler. Another sad point is what Turks have become, the once great nation is now reduced to Anatolia barely able to fight Indo-Iranian ethnicities (Kurds, etc) and experiencing coup attempts in the year 2016 similar to what happens in banana African republics. In the past ruler was Turkic (Ottoman and Seljuks) now Kartvelians (Georgians etc) Kurds constitute the govt. Turks are dead.
