| Beschreibung: | International audience ; After their coronation and wedding in Rome, in March 1452, Emperor Friederich III and Empress Leonora went to visit the empress’ uncle, King Alfonso V of Aragon and Sicily, in Naples. On their return trip to Austria, they again visited the pope in Rome, where the imperial ambassador, Bishop Enea Silvio Piccolomini of Siena, delivered an oration, the “Moyses vir Dei”, on a crusade against the Turks. In the oration, he presented the emperor’s request for a crusade, listing three motives: compassion, benefit, and honour. Moreover, he argued for the feasibility of a crusade in terms of the ease of mobilizing the Europeans and the good chances of success. However, neither the Papacy nor the Empire, nor indeed any of the European powers, were truly interested in a crusade at this time, so the oration had no effect. A year later Constantinople was conquered by the Turks, and the Byzantine Empire fell. |
