The siege of Nándorfehérvár / Belgrade, 1456

Jul 22, 2021

Today in Hungarian history:

22 July 1456, the victorious siege of Nándorfehérvár (Belgrade)

Read the summary of this famous struggle between Hunyadi János, Governor of Hungary vs. Sultan Mehmed II the Conqueror of Constantinapolis, based on Szibler Gábor's research.

Let us commemorate Hunyadi János, the Athleta Christi as Pope Pius II referred to him, but let us not forget Saint Capistrano and Szilágyi Mihály, not to mention all of those who fell in the battle that blocked the western Ottoman expansion for at least 70 years.
