In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Ottoman devşirme system—the 'blood-tax' that took Christian boys from Balkan villages and turned them into the empire's elite soldiers and administrators. They trace its origins under Sultan Murad I, its peak under Mehmed the Conqueror and Suleiman the Magnificent, and its brutal decline. Along the way, they meet figures like Sokollu Mehmed Pasha, the grand vizier who rose from a Bosnian shepherd boy, and examine how the devşirme created a loyal, meritocratic elite—but also seeded resentment and rebellion. The episode digs into the collection process, the training in the Enderun palace school, and the controversial legacy of a system that both empowered and enslaved. A focused look at one of the Ottoman Empire's most transformative—and troubling—institutions. #Devşirme #BloodTax #OttomanEmpire #SokolluMehmedPasha #Janissaries #Enderun #Balkans #History #FexingoHistory #MuradI #MehmedII #SuleimanTheMagnificent #ChristianBoys #EliteSoldiers #GrandVizier #OttomanBalkans #Meritocracy #ForcedRecruitment Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
