Ottoman Sultan Murad II led a fresh invasion of Serbia and seized most of the country, though Belgrade held out under Zovan Thallóczi, Hungarian Military Governor of Croatia. Although Murad laid siege by land and water, the fortress was well equipped with artillery, which caused heavy Turkish losses. The Sultan withdrew his army and flotilla after six months, returning 16 years later.
