About the Saracen knocking at the door
didn't this arise from the last effort of the ottoman empire to invade Europe in 15XX? They planned an surprise attach on the city of Vienna, and were thwarted by the cities bakers, who being up early raised the alarm. "The Saracens are at the gate."
Cresent rolls (croissants) are commemorative, I am told. Honoring the bakers, the hour and the victory.
Where are the history majors when we need them?
