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.
