Hermannstadt, Battle of

Years: 1442 - 1442

The Battle of Hermannstadt, also known as the Battle of Sibiu or the Battle of Szeben, is fought between the army of the Hungarian Kingdom and the Ottoman Turks on March 18 and March 25, 1442, near Sântimbru (Marosszentimre) and Hermannstadt (Sibiu, Szeben).

The Hungarian forces are commanded by John Hunyadi.

Hermannstadt is Hunyadi's third victory over the Ottomans after the relief of Smederevo in 1437 and the defeat of Ishak Beg midway between Semendria and Belgrade in 1441.

“One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.”
