War, Fire, Plague and their Consequences in Renaissance Rijeka
Ozren Kosanović
Sažetak
Rijeka was not spared from the destruction in the time of the War of the League of Cambrai (1508–1516). After one of the sieges during that war, the town was scorched and plague appeared. Contemporary historiography gave some attention to the burning of the town but did not take into consideration all the relevant preserved sources. In the time of the conquest, Venetian forces committed great crimes and pillaged townsmen. Nevertheless, the town recovered from these events in a short period of time. At the same time, the town hinterland was under constant pressure from Ottoman incursions, which in some instances were conducted up to the town walls. All these events gave an incentive to townsmen to rebuild, strengthen their defence and resist unfavorable circumstances.
