Note the date: The battle, a chaotic, bloody affair, began on September 11, 1683

and also this:

There is an interesting cultural footnote to all of this. Most people do not know that J.R.R. Tolkien's famous Battle of Pelennor Fields, the struggle for the city of Minas Tirith between the soldiers of Gondor and the forces of the Dark Lord Sauron recounted in The Return of the King, is actually based on the charge of King Jan Sobieski and his Winged Hussars.

The Islamic invasion in Western Europe was crushed by Charles Martel and his Frankish army in October 732 thus saving France. Sadly the covert Muslim invasion in the 21st century may be succeeding.

Brings back a memory as a 7th grader in Immaculate Conception Catholic grammar school in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood doing a story review about the siege of Vienna before the class.
