Possibly one of our favourite letter exchanges ever, and at London's Freemasons' Hall back in 2016 Matt Berry and Peter Capaldi joined us to give an incredible, hilarious reading.
In 1675, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire instructed his army to attack a fortress belonging to the Zaporozhian Cossacks. They were quickly and heavily defeated. Rather than surrender, the Sultan then wrote to the Cossacks and demanded that they submit to him. This fiery exchange was the result.

There is a famous painting that alledges to document the meeting where the reply letter was drafted. It shows all the leaders of the Cossacks huddled around the one penning the letter, some bent over with laughter, some suggesting new insults with an evil grin, but all having the time of their life. It is simpy called _Zaporozhian Cossacks write to the Sultan of Turkey_ and is one of the funniest painting out there (if you know this backstory).

I don't know... Matt Berry's delivery was powerful and commanding, (would love to see him do Hamlet's 'to be or not to be') but Peter Capaldi's performance was just so much fun to watch! Also, Peter would make an awesome vampire!

Just my thoughts, the audience is laughing, because as of today, this is funny with the Scottish accent, but I bet back in the day this is truly a heated argument, and I bet a lot of people ended up fighting and dying over it. History always repeats itself, and through these letters like this one you can see it. Thank you for sharing💕💐

I doubt anybody ended up fighting and dying over this exchange since according to the scholarship, the letters are apocryphal. Seems to have originated as a joke and in later decades and centuries, various translations and versions popped up here and there, gaining popularity as religious/political propaganda during times of heightened conflict with the Ottoman Empire.

0:02 You had me at Peter & Matt. I can’t wait to see what hilarity is about to ensue. But I’ve watched/read enough of both to know that this is the kind of genius pairing the world has been waiting for… (Don’t let me down guys or my bold, pre-watching stance is going to make the optics so bad for me. 😜🤞) 😂😂
