Condition: New. "The use of the Ottoman system for the supply of soldiers in time of war may be estimated from the fact, that an armed horseman was required for every fief of the value of twelve pounds a year, and another for every additional twenty pounds. In the time of Solyman these fiefs were able to furnish 150,000 cavalry. The feudal troops were always kept in readiness, nor was anything required to summon them to the field but an order of the Sultan to the two Beglerbegs of the Empire from whom it was communicated to a regular gradation of officers entrusted with the task of mustering these Spahi, or Cavaliers, in their separate divisions. This force served without pay. If they fell in battle, they were honoured as martyrs: if they distinguished themselves, or if the expedition was successful, they were rewarded with larger gifts of property. All their hopes of advancement depended upon the Sultan, and his success in war. They were ready to do his bidding in any part of the world, for the greater part of every country which they subdued was divided among the members of their own body." Editors: Translator: 34 pages.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the rise and success of the Ottoman Turks. The author argues that the Ottomans' success was due to several factors, including their military organization, their system of feudalism, and their religious tolerance. The Ottomans were a nomadic people who migrated to Anatolia in the 13th century. They quickly established a powerful empire, which reached its peak in the 16th century. The Ottoman Empire was one of the largest and most powerful empires in history, and it lasted for over 500 years. The Ottomans' military organization was one of the key factors in their success. They developed a standing army of paid infantry, which was far superior to the feudal levies of their European rivals. The Ottomans also made effective use of artillery, which gave them a significant advantage in battle. The Ottoman system of feudalism was another factor that contributed to their success. The Ottoman feudal system was based on a system of land grants, which were given to soldiers in exchange for military service. This system ensured that the Ottomans had a large and loyal army, which was always ready to fight. The Ottomans were also tolerant of other religions, which allowed them to gain the support of non-Muslims. This tolerance was in contrast to the religious intolerance of the European powers, which often led to wars and persecution. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the Ottoman Empire, from its origins to its decline. The author provides a wealth of detail on the Ottomans' military organization, their system of feudalism, and their religious tolerance. The book is a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in the history of the Ottoman Empire or the history of the Middle East.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the compelling and insightful story of England's pivotal 17th century, a time of momentous change that laid the cornerstone for the future of English government and civil liberties. Beginning with a look at the Tudor era, the author provides indispensable context for the period, and establishes the framework of the English monarchy and its relationship to its subjects: the laws, reforms, powers, and tensions that would eventually lead to the English Civil War. The book follows the reigns of Queen Elizabeth and the first two Stuart kings, James I and Charles I, as they wrestle with the delicate balance of the constitution, their individual prerogatives, and the people's rising demands. The author expertly traces the evolution of power struggles, their impact on society and politics, and the emergence of factions within the government. Along the way, the author explores the experiences of religious minorities as they navigated shifting policies towards their beliefs. The book also examines the complex interplay between the monarchy and Parliament, the evolution of the legal system and the judiciary, the exercise of arbitrary power, and the gradual but steady erosion of the crown's absolute authority. The author's clear and engaging prose breathes life into a critical and tumultuous period, allowing readers to witness firsthand the unfolding of events that would shape the English nation and leave a lasting global legacy.
