We often hear about the Battle of Mohács as a singular Hungarian tragedy, but the story is incomplete without Poland. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the complex diplomatic web that led to the 1526 catastrophe. We examine why King Louis II ignored warnings from his father-in-law, Sigismund I the Old of Poland, and how the failure of the Polish-Hungarian alliance sealed Hungary's fate. Through the eyes of Cardinal Tamás Bakócz and the Ottoman spies who infiltrated the Hungarian court, we uncover the internal divisions and political miscalculations that left the kingdom vulnerable. This isn't just a battle report; it’s a deep dive into the failed diplomacy and the tragic isolation of a king caught between two empires.
