Funny how at 2:11 you put the Hungarian Holy Crown on the Byzantine emperor. (Yes, it was a gift from the Byzantine emperor to the Hungarians royals, but never worn by a Byzantine emperor.)
Yes. The painting depicts the Tsar of All Russia Ivan the Terrible holding his dying son. In his old age, the king was very quick-tempered and cruel. He couldn't contain his anger. The king hit his son on the head with a rod after a quarrel and the only heir died. After that, the Rurik Dynasty ended its reign.
a little additional info, some argue that this painting is pure historical fiction, because some sources saying Ivan never hit his son and he fell off a horse instead (those sources seem a lot more trustworthy too) sustaining head injury, when modern day scientists uncovered their tombs his son bones were studied and while skull is indeed damaged it's hard to say how exactly that happened, but cause of death is mercury and arsenic poisoning not the injury which also does not nullify any of the two theories, but I tend to believe version when his son falls off a horse for the simple reason, this version comes from report of foreign ambassador (French if I remember correctly) while story of Ivan hitting his son comes from Russia own historical documents which could've been severally altered by nobility they hated Ivan for multiple reasons and painting him black for future generations was in their interest as a form of revenge while ambassador have no reason to lie about the incident whatsoever
THE TURKS AND THE WEST. Europe stood in awe of the Ottomans who crushed many states and conquered vast territories, going, as all patriotic Turks will proudly point out, "all the way to the gates of Vienna." European literature is replete with the depictions of the Turk as the hated enemy. The English often thought of the Turk as awe-inspiring and destructive. Thomas Fuller wrote in The Holy Warre (1639): "The Turkish Empire is the greatest... the sun ever saw. ...Grass springeth not where the grand signior's horse setteth his foot."
@@lookatthis9972 The three ambitions of his son Suleyman the Magnificent(1520-66)reported Busbecq(Hungarian ambassador)in his letters, were to complete his mosque,restore the Roman aqueducts to give Constantinople a good water supply,and conquer Vienna. busbecq conveys some strain that Europe felt at an other sign of " the anger of Heaven " against Christians,such as Atilla of old and Taimur of recent vintage: Suleyman stands before us with all the terror inspired by his own successes and those of his ancestors; he over runs the plain of Hungary with 200,000 horsemen; he threatens Austria; he menaces the rest of Germany; he brings in his train all the nations that dwell between here and Persian frontier....Like a thunderbolt he smites,shatters and destroys whatever stands in his way; he is at the head of veteran troops and a highly trained army, which is accustomed to to his leadership; he spreads far and wide the terror of his name. He roars like a lion along our frontier, seeking to break through, now here,now there.
