…the impact of [ottoman] turkish rule upon all sectors of balkan society was profound. most
of its aristocracy were killed though a minority was absorbed into the ruling class when, in
keeping with ottoman practice, the sultan took over their lands. in contrast, the peasantry, who
worked the land, paid most of the taxes and were liable for military service, were treated much
