 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!   :)
