The fortress of Smederevo, once a bastion of defence and noble privilege, was now reduced to a hellscape under the relentless siege by Roman forces. Buildings crumbled, castle rooftops were ripped away, and even the once-impenetrable walls trembled under the relentless bombardment. Inside, the defenders, accustomed to the safety afforded by thick stone barriers, found no refuge. Nobles and soldiers alike were subjected to the terror of warfare on equal terms—covered in dust, their noble visages marred by debris, they experienced firsthand the fears that once only haunted their foot soldiers.
