An Episode From the War
Against the Turks by Adam Frans van der Meulen
Mohammed IV sent the Turkish Army to take Vienna
under the command of Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa the Turkish force arrived
at Vienna on July 16th 1683. The defence of Vienna was commanded by Count
Ernst Rudiger von Starhemberg. All attempts by the Turks to take the city
failed so they began mining under the city walls, but before this was
completed a relieving army of 20,000 men under the command of John III
Sobiski of Poland and Charles V, Duke of Lorraine arrived and attacked the
Turkish lines. The Turks were routed ending the threat to Vienna.
