Answer
Matthias Corvinus, the King of Hungary and Croatia, captured the Ottoman border fort of Šabac in 1476. This was a significant victory for Matthias, as it gave him control of a strategic location on the Danube River. The fort was later recaptured by the Ottomans in 1481, but it remained an important point of contention between the two empires for centuries.
