A special type of slave soldier was the Ottoman janissary. |
By this time the janissary was beside himself with rage at so much opposition. |
Just at this moment they stopped in front of the house of the janissary Aga. |
This, as the Jew had told him, seemed very simple to the janissary. |
This janissary army was a means of integrating non-Ottomans into the structure of the empire. |
Cairo janissaries are recruited from among the children of janissary families, which gives them a sense of camaraderie and superiority. |
