Meadia Capitulation and Imperialist Victory Details
An extract from a July 1738 letter recounts heavy fighting between Imperialists and Turks at Mendia Meadia Meadia. The Imperialists, led by Khevenhuller and Count Konigsegg, repelled Turkish assaults on a mountain stronghold while Rain hindered pursuit. Meadia capitulated after Ottoman forces were driven from the fortress, with a formal surrender and safe escort for the garrison. The Great Duke of Tuscany and the Emperor confirmed terms, the Meadia garrison allowed to march out with arms and baggage, and Mendia to be relieved by Imperial forces possibly marching on Widdin. The news notes prior relief of Orfort and Meadia’s fall, with Te Deum planned for the cathedral.
