What Ottoman Soldiers Did to Italian Nuns Was Worse Than Death | History to Sleep

In the summer of 1480, the city of Otranto fell to the Ottoman Empire. History remembers the 800 men who were executed for refusing to convert. But it rarely speaks about what happened next.

This video explores a darker chapter of that invasion — the fate of Italian nuns and women whose suffering was considered more valuable than death itself. Captured alive, classified, priced, and transported across the Adriatic, their experiences reveal a system of conquest that went far beyond the battlefield. Through the testimony of a surviving nun, this story uncovers how the Ottoman captive system worked, how women were sorted for sale, distributed as rewards, and erased into markets stretching from Albania to the heart of the empire. It reveals why some victims were executed immediately, while others were deliberately kept alive. What happened in Otranto did not end with the massacre. For many, it was only the beginning.
