About this episode

This episode is part one of a three part series covering early Ottoman Palestine (16th - 18th centuries).


In the 16th century a new power came to rule over Palestine. From the onset, this new dynasty would face unique challenges as it worked to rule the Muslim world.


Meanwhile, notable families attempt to navigate their new circumstances in one of the most important cities in the Muslim world.


Join me as I take you through early Ottoman Palestine and introduce you the families that ruled the holy city of Jerusalem.
