Siege of Belgrade

Began 4th July 1456.

Europe would look very different today if Belgrade had gone the same way as Constantinople three years previously.



In the thick of the fighting was St John of Capistrano, leading the left of the line, Cross held high to encourage the troops.

Thank you. Inn at the End of the World

Blessed Marco d'Aviano comes to mind, also a Franciscan, who inspired the resistance of the troops during the Siege of Vienna in 1683.
