The Second Ottoman–Venetian War (1499 – 1503) was a military conflict between the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Venice over contested land in south-east Europe.
History[edit | edit source]
In 1499, when the war began, the Venetians living in Constantinople were terrified and fled back to Venice, including Sofia Sartor who was born in Constantinople, and her parents.[1] That same year, the Ottomans gained a major victory over the Venetians at the Battle of Zonchio, destroying their naval forces. This allowed them to seize the Venetian territories of Lepanto, Modone, and Corone.[2]
At some point during the war, Pope Alexander VI, the Grand Master of the Italian Templars, tried to disrupt a temporary peace treaty between Venice and the Ottoman Empire, by sending some of his son Cesare's finest killers to Constantinople. As their boat left port in Rome, it was taken down by the Assassins with a volley of fire arrows, and the Assassins instead set sail for Constantinople.[3]
In 1502, the Ottoman Assassin Yusuf Tazim and a contingent of Italian Assassins from Venice met in Greece to steer the conflict to a peaceful end, which was achieved in 1503, ushering in a brief period of peace on the Ottoman Empire's western border.[4]
Aftermath[edit | edit source]
In 1507, when Sofia Sartor return to her hometown, she mentioned her past while Ezio Auditore visited her book shop four years later.[1] While Ezio did not partake in the conflict, many of his friends joined and died in it, a fact which haunted him for years. By 1511, he found a sympathetic ear in Piri Reis, a former admiral of the Ottoman navy, and the two Assassins briefly reminisced about their many comrades lost during the war.[5]
