Fire-arms were also beginning to be introduced, which weapons have diminished rather than increased the carnage of fields of battle. From 1462 to 1480. Ivan III. His Precocity and Rising Power. The Three Great Hordes. Russian Expedition Against Kezan. Defeat of the Tartars. Capture of Constantinople by the Turks. The Princess Sophia.
At length in 1480 the whole machinery of the republic was suspended by Lorenzo de' Medici in favor of the Board of Seventy, whom he nominated, and with whom, acting like a Privy Council, he administered the state. It is clear that this revolution could never have been effected without a succession of coups d'état.
The latter he succeeded in converting into a body of courtiers by grants of money, land or well-paid offices, also by founding, in 1480, the privileged order of the Golden Fleece.
From this time the name appears constantly in maps, and in 1480 a man named John Jay went out to discover the island on July 14, and returned unsuccessful on September 18.

Even Christian ships suffered from their high-handed proceedings, and Venice looked on with open satisfaction when, in 1480, Mohammed II. despatched one hundred and sixty ships and a large army to humble the pride of the Knights. The siege failed, however; D'Aubusson, the Grand Master, repulsed the general assault with furious heroism, and the Turks retired with heavy loss.
