Sultan Murad II invaded Serbia, where Despot George Brankovic left his sons Gregor and Stefan to hold the strategic fortress of Semendria (modern Smederevo). While Albert I of Hungary took an army to the Danube, he failed to provide aid and the starving garrison surrendered, with the Brankovic brothers captured and later blinded. Murad returned to Edirne and the next year besieged Belgrade.
