EVENTNAME285120;The conquest of Bugia and Tripoli;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285120;While Cisneros was received as a hero in Spain, Pedro Navarro was left on command of Oran, and in the next season he attacked Bugia (Béjaïa), in the Eastern side of Tlemcen. Navarro disembarcked 5,000 men and a train of artillery, and after defeating a far more numerous Berber army, conquered the city sacking it. Since it was still early in the season, Navarro decided to attack Tripoli. An army of 14,000 men was prepared. The second Duke of Alba, García de Toledo, son of the conqueror of Navarra, and father of the famous third Duke of Alba, took command of the expedition. The city, the strongest in the campaign, was taken by assault, with over 5,000 casualties between the defenders. Immediately Navarro and Alba went to Djerba with the intention of capturing the island. After landing, they were ambushed in an oasis and 3,000 soldiers and the Duke of Alba were killed. Navarro returned to Tripoli. The Zayyanid sultan of Tlemcen, Abu Abdallah Muhammad VIII, worried by the continuous defeats decided to become a vassal of Spain in 1510.;;;;;;;;;;

EVENTNAME285123;Carlos generous offer to the Hospitallers;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285123;When the Order of St. John was expelled from Rhodes in 1523, it underwent a crisis. Their possessions were being confiscated all over Europe, both by Catholic, and Protestant rulers, their income dwindled, their recruits stopped coming. They desperately needed a base, preferibly by reconquering Rhodes, otherwise an island in the Aegean, but nobody helped and Venice opposed them. Europe was at war and there was no place for their neutrality. The emperor Carlos however came up with a master idea. He offered Malta to the Hospitallers. Malta was difficult to defend from the growing Ottoman power, but the Knights were a tough breed. They would give their lifes defending his shipping lines with Sicily. In 1524 the Hospitallers sent a commission to Malta. Their report was very negative. The island could not sustain itself, and the defenses were very poor. Then Carlos decided to include Tripoli in the deal as a take it all or leave it all. The Knights opinion on Tripoli was even worse. They did not have the resources to upgrade its defenses. But having no other option, the Chapter General decided in 1527 to accept the offer with the opposition of the French Langues. They still had hopes of recovering Rhodes, but in 1530 they gave up and moved to Malta, taking possession also of Tripoli. From then on, the Spaniards and the Knights of St. John would fight their battles in North Africa together.;;;;;;;;;;

EVENTHIST285127;It was just a matter of time before the Ottomans attacked Malta. In May 1565, a powerful fleet from the Ottomans and their allies the Barbary pirates, arrived to the island and landed an army of 40,000. Against them were 540 knights, 400 Spaniards and 4,000 Maltese. Fort St. Elmo lasted 5 weeks of furious fights until almost all its defenders were killed. By then 600 Spaniards from Sicily had arrived to the city. The fighting continued all summer taking the lives of 5000 defenders with the Turkish loses three times higher, including the famous pirate Dragut. In early September, when the defenders were at their last resistance, help from Spain finally arrived under command of Álvaro de Bazán and García de Toledo. The Turks, low on morale, panicked and abandonned the island.;;;;;;;;;;

EVENTNAME285138;The fall of Tripoli;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285138;The Knights Hospitallers took care of the defense of Tripoli after his cession by Carlos for over 20 years. Provissioned by the Viceroy of Sicily and with the help of a Spanish garrison, the Order even considered moving their see there. However in 1551 they were attacked by a huge Ottoman army under command of Sinan Pasha and Dragut. There were very few Knights in Tripoli, and the Spanish soldiers from Calabria refused to fight, and so Tripoli was surrendered almost without fight. In 1560 the Grand Master Jean Parisot de la Valette enticed the Viceroy of Sicily, Juan de la Cerda, Duke of Medinaceli to attempt its recovery, but the expedition, approved by Felipe II, was a complete failure, since Tripoli had been converted into a stronghold by huge Ottoman defensive works under the direction of Dragut.;;;;;;;;;;

For the Knights (AGCEEP_Specific_OrderStJohn.eue)
It does not make any sense that the knights could be offered Malta before 1523. That offer answered to a specific need. The need of Charles to protect the central mediterranean naval routes from the growing power of Barbary coast pirates, but specially from the growing power of the Ottomans that became present once they took over Egypt. To think that the Trastamara would have given Malta to the Knights is a stretch of imagination. They were under a personal agreement with the Maltese not to give them away. When Carlos (a foreigner) decided to give away Malta, the Maltese only agreed because they thought that the Knights could protect them from falling to the Ottomans. I remember some games were Malta rebelled in the 1400s and gave itself to the Knights, who immediately gave away Rhodes to the Ottos and moved there. All very ahistorical. Let’s fix that.
