Episode description as stored
<p>What happens when a small island faces the might of the Ottoman Empire?</p> <p>In 1565, Malta was the setting for a brutal clash between the forces of the Ottoman Empire and the defiant Knights of the Order of St.John, warrior monks led by the iron-willed Jean de Valette. This extraordinary siege pitted faith against empire, innovation against desperation, and a handful of defenders against an unstoppable superpower.</p> <p>Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to Professor Marcus Bull about the battle that reshaped Mediterranean power dynamics, shattered Ottoman invincibility, and forged legends that still echo in Malta’s fortified walls today.</p> <p>Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb. The researcher is Alice Smith, audio editor is Amy Haddow and the producer is Rob Weinberg. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.</p><p>Theme music from All3Media. Other music courtesy of Epidemic Sounds.</p><p><em>Not Just the Tudors is a History Hit podcast.</em></p> <p><strong>Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.
