  • The Granada Venegas Family, 1431-1643: Nobility, Renaissance and Morisco Identity
    The Granada Venegas Family, 1431-1643: Nobility, Renaissance and Morisco Identity By Elizabeth Ashcroft Terry A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction Of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Thomas Dandelet, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor Ignacio E. Navarrete Summer 2015 The Granada Venegas Family, 1431-1643: Nobility, Renaissance, and Morisco Identity © 2015 by Elizabeth Ashcroft Terry All Rights Reserved The Granada Venegas Family, 1431-1643: Nobility, Renaissance and Morisco Identity By Elizabeth Ashcroft Terry Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California-Berkeley Thomas Dandelet, Chair Abstract In the Spanish city of Granada, beginning with its conquest by Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492, Christian aesthetics, briefly Gothic, and then classical were imposed on the landscape. There, the revival of classical Roman culture took place against the backdrop of Islamic civilization. The Renaissance was brought to the city by its conquerors along with Christianity and Castilian law. When Granada fell, many Muslim leaders fled to North Africa. Other elite families stayed, collaborated with the new rulers and began to promote this new classical culture. The Granada Venegas were one of the families that stayed, and participated in the Renaissance in Granada by sponsoring a group of writers and poets, and they served the crown in various military capacities. They were royal, having descended from a Sultan who had ruled Granada in 1431. Cidi Yahya Al Nayar, the heir to this family, converted to Christianity prior to the conquest. Thus he was one of the Morisco elites most respected by the conquerors.

  • Osmanlıların Minorka Adası'na Saldırısı Ve Ciutadella'nın İşgali (1558)
    Osmanlıların Minorka Adası’na Saldırısı ve Ciutadella’nın İşgali (1558) Hakan Kılınç, Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesi Tarih Bölümü, ORCID: 0000-0002-7594-1150, e-posta: [email protected] Özet XVI. yüzyıl, yeni nüfuz alanları elde etmek ve var olan nüfuz alanlarını korumak için Habsburg ile Osmanlı imparatorluklarının yoğun biçimde karşı karşıya geldikleri bir yüzyıldı. Karada Macaristan üzerinde yoğunlaşan Osmanlı-Habsburg savaşları; denizlerde ise İspanyol İmparatorluğu’nun V. Karl’ın şahsında Habsburg hanedanlığına bağlanmasıyla İspanya-Osmanlı mücadelesi şeklinde tarihteki yerini aldı. Bu dönemde Osmanlılar ile İspanyolların Akdeniz’deki önemli mücadele hatlarından birini Cezayir, Tunus ve civar adalar oluşturuyordu. Yetenekli korsanları himaye ederek ve Fransa ittifakı sayesinde lojistik güçlüğü aşarak bu bölgede kısa sürede yer edinen Osmanlılar, varlıklarını pekiştirmek üzere sık sık İspanyol topraklarını hedef aldılar.Özellikle İspanya hâkimiyetindeki Balear Adaları konumu nedeniyle bu dönemde ardı arkası kesilmeyen saldırıların hedefiydi. Bu saldırılardan sadece biri olan, fakat yarattığı yıkım ve dolayısıyla toplumsal bellekte tuttuğu yer bakımından tesiri en büyük saldırı, Osmanlıların Minorka Adası’nın Kuzey-Batı yamacında bulunan Ciutadella şehrine yaptığı harekât oldu. Söz konusu hadise mağlup ada halkının belleğinde silinmeyecek bir biçimde yer ederken, 1560 yılındaki Cerbe Savaşı’na giden yolda da önemli bir aşamaya gelindiğinin işareti idi. Bu çalışmada, bugün dahi adada her yıl düzenli olarak anılan ve söz konusu dönemin ‘uğursuzluk yılı’ adıyla adlandırılmasına neden olan Osmanlı saldırısının gelişimi incelenecektir. Bu amaçla devrin İspanyolca ve Katalanca kaynakları ışığında Türkiye’de Osmanlı tarihi üzerine gerçekleştirilen çalışmalarda gündeme gelmemiş ya da ihmal edilmiş boyutuyla konu ele alınacaktır. Anahtar Sözcükler: 1558 Minorka Kuşatması, Osmanlı-Habsburg Savaşları, Balear Adaları, Akdeniz, Piyale Paşa.
