Siege of Fort Detroit The Siege of Fort Detroit was an ultimately unsuccessful attempt by North American Indians to capture Fort Detroit during Pontiac ' s Rebellion . The siege was led primarily by Pontiac , an Odawa chief and military leader . Background . Fort Detroit had been captured by the British during the French and Indian War following the Fall of Montreal in 1760 . It was on territory ceded by France to Great Britain in the Treaty of Paris in 1763 and was garrisoned by a British force during Pontiac ' s Rebellion . Siege . On April 27 , 1763 , Pontiac spoke at a council on the shores of the Ecorse River , at what is now known as Council Point Park ) in Lincoln Park , Michigan , about 10 miles ( 15 km ) southwest of Detroit . Using the teachings of Neolin to inspire his listeners , Pontiac convinced a number of Ottawas , Ojibwa s , Potawatomi s , and Hurons to join him in an attempt to seize Fort Detroit and drive out the British . On May 7 , Pontiac entered the fort with about 300 men , armed with weapons hidden under blankets , determined to take the fort by surprise . However , the British commander Henry Gladwin had apparently been informed of Pontiac ' s plan , and the garrison of about 120 men was armed and ready . Pontiac withdrew and , two days later , laid siege to the fort . A number of British soldiers and civilians in the area outside the fort were captured or killed ; one of the soldiers was ritually cannibalized , as was the custom in some Great Lakes Indian cultures . The violence was directed only at the British : French colonists were left alone . Eventually more than 900 Indian warriors from a half - dozen tribes joined the siege . On May 28 , a supply convoy commanded by Lieutenant Abraham Cuyler stopped at Point Pelee on its way to Detroit . Unaware of the ongoing siege , Cuyler and his men made camp without taking extra security precautions . About 200 Indians attacked , killing or capturing 61 of the 96 men of Cuyler ' s expedition . Those who escaped made their way to Fort Sandusky , but found it destroyed , and so they returned to Fort Niagara . The Indians took their captives to Detroit , where they were tortured and mutilated . The bodies were then tossed into the river to float by Fort Detroit , which undermined morale in the fort . Late in July , 260 British reinforcements under the command of Captain James Dalyell arrived at Fort Detroit . On July 31 , 1763 , about 250 men attempted to make a surprise attack on Pontiac ’ s encampment . Pontiac was ready and waiting with over 400 warriors , and defeated the British at the Battle of Bloody Run . However , the situation at the fort remained a stalemate , and Pontiac ’ s influence among his followers began to wane . Groups of Indians began to abandon the siege , some of them making peace with the British before departing . On October 31 , 1763 , finally convinced that the French in Illinois would not come to his aid , Pontiac lifted the siege and traveled south to the Maumee River , where he continued his efforts to rally resistance against the British .

Giovanni Giustiniani Giovanni Giustiniani Longo ( Greek : Ιωάννης Λόγγος Ιουστινιάνης ; Latin : Ioannes Iustinianus Longus ) ( died 1453 ) was a young Genoese captain , a member of one of the greatest families of the Republic , a kinsman to the powerful house of Doria in Genoa . , and protostrator of the Eastern Roman ( Byzantine ) Empire . He led 700 professional soldiers , both Genovese and Greeks from the island of Chios , which at the time was part of the Republic of Genoa , to the defense of Constantinople against the Ottoman army of Sultan Mehmed II in 1453 . ( See also Fall of Constantinople . ) He personally financed , organized and led this expedition on his own initiative , and upon arriving was placed in command of the land defenses by Emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos of the Byzantine Empire . Giustinani was key in controlling the land forces and keeping the Greeks , Genoese and Venetians from arguing with each other , and instead kept focused on repairing the land walls after the Ottoman cannon had shot holes in them . It was at least partly because of Longo ' s charisma that the Byzantine forces were able to hold out so long against overwhelming odds . On May 29 , 1453 , during the final attack by Mehmet II , Giustiniani was wounded by an Ottoman cannon while defending the walls of Constantinople . Some sources say the wound was caused by a crossbow bolt . Sources disagree about whether the wound was to his arm , leg , or chest , but it forced him to withdraw from his station at the land wall . He exited through the locked gate into the city , which opened up the opportunity for the fearful to flee , and panic spread throughout the lines . Seeing the demoralization caused among the defenders by Giustiniani ' s retreat , Sultan Mehmed II ordered a renewed assault that eventually defeated the Byzantines and Constantinople was taken by the Turks . Although Giustiniani ' s men managed to escape with their general on board vessels fleeing Constantinople after its fall , Giovanni Giustiniani Longo died of the effects of his wound in the early days of June 1453 . His body was carried by his comrades to the then Genoese island of Chios , where his tomb is preserved at the village of Pirgi . Branches and descendants of Giovanni Giustiniani Longo ' s family still exist today in Greece and Italy .
