During the infamous Siege of Malta, the 30,000-strong Ottoman force faced 20,000 Maltese Christians and 560 Knights. What unfolded was a brutal, months-long siege marked by fierce resistance and significant casualties on both sides. Malta, a Christian stronghold and home to the Knights Hospitaller, was key in the confrontation between the Ottoman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, led by Philip II of Spain, controlling opposing sides of the Mediterranean.

Same shI poopoo different millennia
Gaza, now.
To save you time, it was tough. 3/4 of this video was fluff.
Hi, it would be nice if you could put the year of this event in the video description.
Yeah and the Muslims still want to rule the world.
Millions of the finest men to have ever lived, fought/died defending Europe for absolutely nothing.
Their nations and children's inheritances are being given away to those who are incapable of creating anything or even taking something by force.
Disgusting.
Hold onto Christ they still want Europe
Amazing 😢😮
MORE of this please! I'd love to see other videos of this quality about Alexander The Greats Siege of Tyre or Caesars siege of Alessia
What is that big thing on his head??! Does he have air in it??! 😂🤣
This should be posted as the name of the documentary! Not much is said about the people!!
Boring!!
Exactly like Gaza- constantly invading and committing atrocities and then acting like victims. This is who they are.
Seems like this entire video had almost nothing to do with the “normal people” during a siege and revolved entirely around the soldiers
He has a problem attacking women and children from ships, but on land no worries! 😂🤣
So the soldier swam, and the others went by boat. 😂🤣 I don’t know how far he had to swim, but how did he swim all of the way there in that cold, choppy water??!
Why didn’t these people leave before they got there??!
fck off with that clickbait ass title lmfao. it's an interesting video, but not at all about "normal people"
Medieval? They need to check their calendars again.
