…lays siege to Constantinople in June 1422.
The combination of stiff resistance by the defenders and the city's nearly impregnable walls force the attackers to retire, but only after the Greeks provide Murad with huge amounts of tribute.
(Another factor prompting the Turkish withdrawal may have been Murad's necessary return to the Ottoman capital to prevent another pretender, also possibly encouraged by Constantinople, from usurping power.)
