Murad's casualties at Varna were so heavy, it was not until three days later that he realized he was victorious.

| 1456 | Siege of Belgrade / Nándorfehérvár The self-sacrifice of Titusz Dugovics (painting by Sándor Wagner, 1853) | Kingdom of Hungary | Ottoman Empire | Hungarian victory The Siege of Belgrade was a major issue for the entire Europe, especially after the fall of Constantinople in 1453. The fall of the fortress city of Belgrade would have opened the gates of Europe to the Turks and that would have certainly changed the history of the world. The Battle of Belgrade deserves to be remembered. Hungarians played a key role in the defense of Europe against the invasion of the Turks in the 15th century. Pope Callixtus III ordered the bells of every European church to be rung every day at noon, as a call for believers to pray for the defenders of the city. But because in many European countries the news of victory arrived before the Pope's order for prayer, the ringing of the church bells was believed to be in celebration of the victory. Therefore, the significance of the church bells ringing is now the commemoration of Hunyadi's victory against the Turks. Plague broke out in the camp, from which John Hunyadi himself died three weeks later. |
