The Janissary Corps was founded in 1383 by Sultan Murad I to provide him with well-disciplined and loyal troops for his expansionist campaigns. They were recruited from Christian vassal states of the Ottoman Empire in Europe by the ‘devsirme’ system of taking young boys aged 6-14 years and converting them to Islam. These children were indoctrinated and raised in an environment of harsh discipline and training, ideal for the creation of a fighting force.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis boxed set provides 24 metal miniatures that can represent a Janissary Orta, 12 miniatures with firearms and 12 with melee weapons, that highlight the both the uniformity and diversity of the Janissary formations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lantzalot Game Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52324235575527,"sku":"202250001","price":74.04,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/2765\/5655\/files\/OttomanJanissaries.jpg?v=1784214627","url":"https:\/\/www.lantzalotgames.com\/products\/ottoman-janissaries","provider":"Lantzalot Game Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
