It is important history. The Ottoman Empire was one of the most successful and longest lasting.
Look up the fourth Christian crusade and you can match it to the Etugral Netflix series. It wasn't a pretty one at all--nothing like our knights in shining armor stories we've all been brainwashed with of the Crusades, but then again, if you can stomach an unvarnished version of Christianity in history I would suggest watching the Borgias. There are two versions (one European)--both excellent. So much foe the Pope being a direct instrument of 'God'.
