| | | | John Hunyadi: Encyclopedia II - Siege of Belgrade - Siege However, before these forces could have been assembled, Mehmet II's invasion army (160,000 men in early accounts, 60-70,000 according to newer research) arrived at Nándorfehérvár. On July 4, 1456, the siege began. Szilágyi could only rely on a force of 5-7,000 men in the castle. Mehmet set up his siege on the neck of the headland and started firing on the walls on June 29, 1456. He arrayed his men in three sections. The Rumelian (that is, European) corps had the majority of his 300 cannons, and his fleet of 200 or so river vessels had th ...

| | | | John Hunyadi: Encyclopedia II - Skanderbeg - Fighting for the Freedom of Albania In 1443, Skanderbeg saw his opportunity to rebel during the battle against the Hungarians led by John Hunyadi in Nis.

| | | | John Hunyadi: Encyclopedia II - Hungary - History Main article: History of Hungary
In the time of the Roman Empire, the Romans called the region Pannonia (west from the Danube river). After Rome fell under the Germanic tribes migration and Carpians' pressure, the Migration Period continued bringing many invaders. First came the Huns, who built up a powerful empire under Attila. The name "Hungary" may be influenced by the name of the Hun people, although it probably comes from the name of a later, 7th century turkic alliance called Onogur. After the Hunnish rule faded, the othe ...

They crossed the Bosporus in 1352 and defeated the Serbs at Kosovo Polje, in the modern-day Kosovo, in 1389.

| | | | John Hunyadi: Encyclopedia II - Hunedoara - History Where the city of Hunedoara stands today, Stone Age tools were discovered in the hill near the castle called Sanpetru (Saint Peter) and in the surrounding villages. The region was very rich in iron, which had been extracted in the area since the Iron Age of Thracians and later, in the Thracian and Roman times. The remains of eight Dacian iron furnaces have been found at the Sanpetru hill near the castle. The proximity of the town to the network of fortresses and temples in the mountains of Orastie, and the discovery of important monetary treasures of Dacian coins and Roman imperial coins test ...
