I don’t consider myself an avid historian of Slavic exchanges historically but at least from everything I know it’s patently absurd to somehow implant a Mali Muslim into the service of a king who was directly involved in the crusades against the Ottoman Empire. From Varva:
6/10 The game takes place in one of the richest cities in Europe which was besieged by a massive foreign army. That´s the reason why the life in such a city is more diverse than the life in villages which were featured in the first game. 7/10 Musa came to Bohemia with an invading army as a member of the royal court of King Sigismund, whom he met thanks to his engagement at the court of Sultan Bayezid. He's an educated noble and renaissance man from the Kingdom of Mali.
So King Sigismund, a Hapsburg and king of Hungary, who was at war with bohemian Hussites (heretics) and was fighting a religious war supposedly hired a black Muslim retainer from an engagement with a sultan… who was already and repeatedly at war with the king and trying to take his claims in Hungary. Not only this but Sigismund was repeatedly engaged in the crusades against the ottomans and was notorious for fighting “heretics” and advancing Catholicism. How is any of that supposed to make sense?
If indeed they do have Mansa Musa, will they show his massive number of slaves? Also did he go that far into Europe? I thought he did some trade in the Middle East
No it is not the Mansa Musa, just someone called musa from mali.
Ohhh. Ok
Musa never stepped foot into Europe, he did famously make the pilgrimage to Mecca however. This appears to be a different fictional Musa though.
Ok. Thats what I thought. I remember reading about his pilgrimage and his massive amount of gold and slaves. I’m really disappointed With them. Feels like they bent the knee
