Greetings all,
On this day we commemorate the Siege of Nicaea which began on May 14th in 1097 AD:
The city was under the control of the Seljuk Turks. The siege
lasted for 6 days, before the Turks surrendered the city to Byzantine
forces to prevent it from being sacked by the Latin Crusaders.
Byzantium for the easy win! :)
