Barbarossa: Sword of the Mediterranean - Episode 62

The epic story of the heroes who turned the Mediterranean into a Turkish lake...

Barbaroslar: Sword of the Mediterranean tells the story of four brothers from Lesbos who rise to power by braving dangers, ultimately becoming conquerors of the seas. The series follows the journey of İshak, Oruç, Hızır, and İlyas—the sons of Sipahi Yakup Ağa—as they transform into the legendary Barbaros brothers. Filming continues in Antalya, Marmaris, and Istanbul, and the series is set to premiere on TRT 1.

The show recounts the life of Barbaros Hayreddin Pasha, also known as "Red Beard," and his three brothers, who achieved unforgettable victories during the overseas expeditions of the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century, under the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent. As the Grand Admiral (Kapudan Pasha) of the empire, Hayreddin Pasha secured Ottoman dominance over the Mediterranean. His greatest ally in conquering all Mediterranean coasts was his brother, Oruç Reis.

Barbaros Hayreddin Pasha's real name was Hızır. The name "Hayreddin," meaning "the goodness of the faith," was given to him by Sultan Selim I in recognition of his services to the Ottoman State. The name "Barbarossa" actually belonged to his older brother, Oruç Reis, but after his death, it was also used for Hayreddin Pasha. The name originates from the reddish beards of Oruç and his brothers: Barba means "beard" and rossa means "red" in Italian.
