Hey guys,
Any history buffs out there with a keen knowledge of the Ottoman Empire?!
I am writing a fiction story and I want to get the OE into Britain and to do so in a- as historically reasonable way as possible.
No laser shooting Aliens!
Eg: Say if The Holy League naval fleet was destroyed by a storm before the Battle of Lepanto in 1571, could the Empire have then ravaged the coast of Spain??
And say the Barbury pirates, smelling success, had joined the pickings and then say perhaps a plague followed (as often happens in war time) and killed like 20% of the pop of Spain and France. Any chance the OE could have successfully invaded Spain, then after a space of time successfully invaded France and then got into England?
I am adamant to get them into Britain for my story but I need a better history head than mine to help me!
Thanks.
