.....and now ...........it's your turn!

After the Hexamilon Wall fell, the towns of the Morea followed quickly. Corinth, Angelokastron, and Polyphengos fell to the sword without being given the chance to surrender. The purpose of the Turkish campaign was to punish the rogue Despot Constantine for his insolence, and the Bey took great delight in carrying out the Sultan’s will.

After each town fell, the Bey personally inspected the surviving young women and picked out the twenty most beautiful. The loveliest went to the Sultan as his proper share. The Bey kept the second most beautiful for himself. The next ten he distributed among his officers. One or two might go to deserving soldiers, but the remaining women he gave to the men. Few lasted more than one night of celebration.

Plunder was great until the punitive expedition moved into Achaia, where the land was dotted with castles built by the Latins during two centuries of occupation. Even the ones still occupied by Latins resisted. They never won their hopeless sieges, but each castle cost time, resources, and men. And the pickings were few. In most cases there were not even enough pretty girls to complete the normal distribution. The Bey often made a show of declining his share in favor of his officers or the men. It wasn’t all generosity: his tents were filling up with captive girls, and he didn’t want to think about the expansion to his harem that would be necessary this winter.

Finally, after one stubborn castle burned, the Bey dispensed with the division of the spoils and marched straight to the next. Drawing up his army outside the walls, the Bey had sharpened stakes set up outside the abandoned chapel and herded the recently captured women and stood one next to each stake. As the naked girls shivered in terror, the Bey announced that if the castle surrendered, the women inside would go to Edirne as household servants and would not be harmed. If the men inside resisted, however, there would be a Turkish cock for each of their women.

To emphasize the point, he gave the signal to begin impaling the captured women.

Their wails lasted into the next morning, but the castle did not surrender. When it inevitably fell, the women inside rode Turkish cocks into oblivion in front of the next. It only took a few before the local Greeks and Latins saw sense.
