    i heared versions of a quote, and i wonder wich is the correct one.

    one is "Woe to Christendom she has lost her shield and sword"

    and the other version is: "woe to Christendom asia and europe are mine at last"

    said by Mehmed II after the death of Skanderberg

    but what exactly is the correct quote?

    I think based on what has been said by the others on the forum that it is the shield and sword one but i am not sure
    You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.

    I've heard them both before, but I think the first one is the one most commonly quoted.
    In Patronicum sub Seleukos.
