The siege of Belgrade, Battle of Belgrade, or the siege of Nándorfehérvár was a military blockade of Belgrade that occurred July 4-22, 1456. After the fall of Constantinople in 1453, the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror rallied his resources to subjugate the Kingdom of Hungary. In 1456 a young man stood looking at a fortress on a ridge where the River Sava meets the River Danube. The young man was Mehmed, Sultan of the Ottomans. The fortress was Belgrade. As Sultan, Mehmed was a Ghazi, a warrior of Islam, sworn to crush infidels and expand the borders of the Ottoman Caliphate. Three years earlier, at the age of twenty-one, Mehmed had shocked the Christian world by capturing Constantinople, the seat of Emperors. After entering the ancient city in triumph he declared himself the new Caesar. His exploits earned him the title of Conqueror. Mehmed would go on to expand his Empire in Europe, forever changing the course of its history. Defending the fortress was a small band of a few thousand mercenaries, against seventy thousand Ottoman troops. The King of Hungary had fled to Vienna, his nobles abstained from the fight. Europe, exhausted from disastrous Crusades and internecine wars looked on with impotence and apathy. Belgrade did not quite stand alone, however. Janos Hunyadi, the great Hungarian military commander, marched to the aid of the beleaguered citadel. He had bested the Turks in many battles, but defeats at Varna in 1444 and Kosovo in 1448 had weakened his influence among his people. He relied on a few thousand mercenaries against the might of the Ottoman Empire.

In 1683, an Ottoman army that stretched from horizon to horizon set out to seize the "Golden Apple," as Turks referred to Vienna. The ensuing siege pitted battle-hardened Janissaries wielding seventeenth-century grenades against Habsburg armies, widely feared for their savagery. The walls of Vienna bristled with guns as the besieging Ottoman host launched bombs, fired cannons, and showered the populace with arrows during the battle for Christianity's bulwark. Each side was sustained by the hatred of its age-old enemy, certain that victory would be won by the grace of God. The Great Siege of Vienna is the centerpiece for historian Andrew Wheatcroft's richly drawn portrait of the centuries-long rivalry between the Ottoman and Habsburg empires for control of the European continent. A gripping work by a master historian, The Enemy at the Gate offers a timely examination of an epic clash of civilizations.

In July 1456, a massive Turkish army settled in before Belgrade, an ancient city at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers. The army’s leader was the twenty-four-year-old Ottoman sultan Mehmed II, "the Conqueror," who sought to take one of the most strategically important fortifications in southeastern Europe. Three weeks later, Mehmed’s army was driven from Belgrade by a Hungarian warlord and his army, along with a ragtag force of ill-equipped crusaders. In The Crusade of 1456, James D. Mixson gathers together the key primary sources for understanding the events that led to the siege of Belgrade. These newly translated sources challenge readers with their variety: papal decrees, letters, liturgies, and chronicles from Latin, Byzantine, and Ottoman perspectives. An accessible introduction, timelines, and maps help to illuminate this fascinating yet previously neglected story.
