In 1452, Rumeli Castle was constructed to control the Bosphorus. A mighty fleet of 16 galleys was formed. The number of soldiers were doubled. The supply routes to Byzantine were taken under control. An agreement was made with Genoese to keep Galata impartial during the war. In Aprıl 1453, the first Ottoman frontier forces were seen in front of Istanbul. The siege was starting. The important points of the conquest are chronologically listed below. 6 April 1453: Sultan Mehmed pitched his imperial tent by• the door of Romanus in Topkapi.

Baltaoğlu Süleyman Bey seized the Marmara Islands. 11 April 1453: The big fortresses were bombarded by cannon fires. Holes and cracks were opened here and there. Serious destruction inflicted by ceaseless bombardment 12 April 1453 The Ottoman fleet attacked the ships protecting the Golden Horn. The victory of the Christian ships decreased the morale of the Ottoman army. At the order of Sultan Mehmed, the Byzantine ships were pounded by mortar fire, and one galley was sunk. 18 April 1453, Night: The Sultan gave his first crucial order. The attack lasted four hours but it was scattered. 20 April 1453: A naval skirmish took place close to Yenikapi between the Ottoman fleet and four Byzantine war-ships with three supply ships full of food and weapons sent by the Papacy The Sultan came to the shore himself and ordered Baltaoğlu Süleyman Pasha to sink those ships by any means possible. The Ottoman fleet could not stop enemy's ships which were bigger. With this failure the Ottoman army lost its morale and showed the signs of defeat. Ottoman soldiers staned defecting from the army. Soon, the Byzantizne Emperor wanted to take advantage of thís situation and offered peace. The offer, supported by famous Vizier Çandarlı Halil Pasha, was rejected by Sultan Mehmed. The siege and bombardment of the fortresses with cannons continued. During this chaos and widespread feeling of defeat, a letter from the Sultan's spiritual teacher Akshemseddin promised good news about the conquest. Encouraged by this spiritual support, Fatih Sultan Mehmed, escalated the attaek, and decided to add an element of surprise: the Ottoman fleet anchored in Dolmabahce would be moved to Gold en Horn gulf land. 22 April 1453: In early. hours of the morning, Byzantine Christians were dumbfounded and horrified when they saw Ottoman galleys moving down on the hills of the bay Seventy ships carried by cows and balanced by hundreds of soldiers via ropes were slid over slipways. By afternoon the ships were inside the well protected bay. The surprise appearance of the Ottoman fleet in the bay created panic among Byzantine residents of Costantinople. The fonresses on che shore of Golden Horn became a vulnerable spot and some of the Byzantine forces were moved there. This weakened the defence of the land fortresses. 28 April 1453: The attempt to burn the Ottoman ships in the bay was prevented by heavy, cannon fire. A bridge was constructed between Ayvansaray and Sütluce to attack the fortresses located on the shore of the bay An offer of unconditional surrender was delivered to the Emperor through the Genoese. If he surrendered he could have gone wherever he wanted and the life and property of his people would .have been spared. The Emperor rejected thzs offer. 7 May 1453: A three hour long attack was launched on the stream of Bayrampasa with a 30,000 strong force; but it was failed. 12 May 1453: A thunderous attack made towards the point between Tekfursaray and Edirnekapı was defeated by the Byzantine defence. 16 May 1453: When the underground tunnel dug in the direction of Eğrikapı intersected the Byzantinian underground tunnel, an underground skirmish erupted. The same day, an attempt to cut the sturdy chain blocking the entrance of the bay failed. The following day the attack was repeated, but again ended with failure. 18 May 1453: Ottoman forces launched another attack from the direction of Topkapı, by using a wooden mobile tower. the Byzantine burned the tower at night and emptied the trenches that were filled by Ottomans. Over the following days, bombarding of the land fortresses was continued. 25 May 1453: Fatih Sultan Mehmed, sent Isfendiyar Beyoğlu ismail Bey as an ambassador offering him to surrender for the last time. According to this offer, the Emperor and his followers could take their wealth and go anywhere they wished. The people who decided to stay could keep their belongings and estates. This offer too was rejected. 26 May 1453: According to rumors European countries and especially Hungarians were planning to mobilise their troops to help the Byzantines unless the siege was ended. Upon hearing these rumors Sultan Mehmed gathered his war council. In the meeting Çandarlı Halil Pasha and his party defended their previous position, that is, of putting an end to the siege. Sultan Mehmed with his tutor Zağanos Pasha, his teachers Akşemseddin, Molla Gızrani and Molla Hızsrev opposed the idea of quitting. They decided to continue the war and Zağanos Pasha was commissioned for preparations. 27 May 1453: The general attack was announced to the Ottoman army 28 May 1453: The army, spent the day by resting and preparing for the next day's attack. There was a complete silence among soldiers. Sultan Mehmed inspected the army and encouraged them for the great attack. On the other side, a religious ceremony was held in Haghia Sophia Church.

A Measure Of Understanding Queen Frederica of the Hellenes
A measure of understanding Queen Frederica of the Hellenes. A true blue aristocrat. The (More) A measure of understanding Queen Frederica of the Hellenes. A true blue aristocrat. The granddaughter of Kaiser Wilhelm II. Princess of Hanover, Duchess of Brunswick and Lunenburg. She was the mother of ex-King Constantine II. The Queen, the Greek left, loves to hate, even today. The clip is based on her 1971 book "A Measure Of Understanding". No Hellenic Queen, was vilified as much as Queen Frederica was. This is her side of the story. For the heroic struggle of tiny Greece against the Axis powers she says: "The spirit of Greece had wings again. Nothing was impossible", when Greece offered the world the first victory against the Axis, chasing the Italians, through Albania in World War II. "Hence you will not say that Greeks fight like heroes but that heroes fight like Greeks." she repeats Sir Winston Churchill's quote. And: "Two world powers against small Greece. What a glory for us and what a shame for others." A young aristocrat, surrounded by communist revolutionaries and palace sycophants well schooled in Byzantine intrigue, she had to be a quick study. She did more than "do in Rome as Romans do " she went out of her way and embraced her adopted country and people. There is a picture, of her and King Paul being literally carried on the shoulders, of ex-communist prisoners in Macronisos, in her book "A measure of understanding" p.114 picture 13 here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/14272407@N03/1984639520/ She became Queen, on April 1st 1947, when King George II died, having been recently restored to the throne on September 1, 1946. During the war against the communist insurrection of 1944-1949, the Queen set up 53 child-camps Παιδο(υ)πόλεις, to help orphan and poor children. Alexandra Mela and Lina Tsaldari's Commissioned Ladies organization were also instrumental in locating and caring about the children. She toured Greece during these difficult years, where 10% of the Hellenic population was refugees: "I must have danced in every village square" she said, comment on picture 15. Red Cross and the United Nations estimates 28000 Greek children were abducted by the communists and taken behind the Iron Curtain for "re-education / brainwashing". The Queen personally visited the camps and there are Hellenic Royal records, that prove, 33989 children visited the camps from 1947 until 1964. Queen Frederica worked tirelessly for the cause of Liberty, even offering to carrying this struggle behind the Iron Curtain against the brutal invasion of Hungary by the USSR on November 4, 1956, lobbying relentlessly, for the Hellenic causes, to US Secretary of State General George C. Marshall, Field Marshall Smuts and Sir Winston Churchill even Marshal Tito. Getting political support and desperately needed economic aid for war ravaged Greece. One does not expect the communists, or their sympathizers, to acknowledge, any of her efforts. Her influence on then young ex-King Constantine II, was a motherly protective instinct, rather than her "wanting political power or dominating her family". One should acknowledge ex-King Constantine's mistakes were his and his alone. Constantine was only 27 years old in 1967. The coup leaders were both ruthless and determined to succeed, no matter what. The King needed a good mentor in the Palace, he had none. History, the harshest of judges, will be kinder to Frederica. Her finest hour was during the difficult years 1947-1957, when her travels from Belgrade to India, helped Greece weather the biggest storm in its history, visiting injured soldiers, lobbying ceaselessly for uniting Cyprus with the Motherland. "The prestige of England for us foreigners lies not in the greatness of her Empire, nor has it dwindled yet in the value of a small island, but it lies in the greatness of her spirit" Letter to Sir Winston Churchill 3.4.1957 p.187. "A small Greek island has become the test case. Unimportant as Cyprus is, she is like a mirror within which each nation will see its own soul". Letter to General Marshall 3.29.1956 p.192. In her book she offers no opinion on the Junta. Richard Clogg in his book "A short history of Greece" he describes Frederica as "strong - willed". She clashed with conservative icons Field Marshall Papagos, and Constantine Karamanlis, whom she saw as overstepping their bounds, and they saw her as overstepping her bounds. It is true, her family obeyed a state order, to join the Bund Deutscher Madel organization, of Hitler youth. The people of Greece are fair people. Let this clip be a small step to reevaluating Queen Frederica's contributions to Hellenic history. Queen Frederica of the Hellenes, died in Madrid Spain,on February 6,1981, during cataract surgery, at the age of 64. She is buried in Greece, in the Tatoi mausoleum, next to Palo, her love: "We shall always be together. There is no separation, just a long road." (Less)
