The Battle of Lepanto 1571: When Galleys and Faith Collided
In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into the Battle of Lepanto, the massive 1571 naval clash between the Holy League and the Ottoman Empire off the coast of Greece. They explore the galleys and galleasses that fought, the command of Don Juan of Austria and Ali Pasha, the role of arquebusiers and cannons, and the aftermath that cemented a Christian victory but failed to break Ottoman power in the Mediterranean. From the flagship Real to the Sultana, from the wind at Curzola to the winter that ended the campaign, this is a story of faith, fire, and shifting tides.
