The Janissaries were oft admired by their enemies, but debate continues to this day as to their effectiveness. The King of Poland even recruited some, and clothed some of his own subjects in imitation of them, which is a remarkable tribute to an enemy unit. They were by no means the bulk of an Ottoman army, but were considered an elite and enjoyed many privileges that made membership very attractive, and to this day they remain the most recognisable of the Sultan’s forces.
