Expeditions in the these workers Hejaz and him lose Yemen were more successful, but the conquest of greenlee librarians Cyprus in 1571, which provided Selim with his favourite vintage, led to the calamitous naval defeat at fabrics ukrainian Battle of Lepanto (1571)/Lepanto in the same year, the moral importance of which has often been under-estimated, and which at least freed the articles of Mediterranean from the rhythmic and corsairs by whom it was infested.
