Orban
Orbán, también conocido como Urbano (muerto en 1453), fue un fundidor de hierro e ingeniero originario de Brassó (hoy Brașov, Rumania), que en 1453 fundió los cañones que el Imperio otomano utilizó en el sitio de Constantinopla. Según la mayor parte de los autores modernos, Orbán era húngaro, mientras que algunos eruditos también mencionan un posible origen alemán. Las teorías alternativas sugieren que era de origen valaco, siendo descrito por el historiador bizantino Laónico Calcocondilas como "dacio". En 1452, ofreció sus servicios a los bizantinos, pero el emperador Constantino XI Paleólogo no podía permitirse su alto salario ni tampoco poseía los materiales necesarios para la construcción de un gran cañón de asedio. Orbán luego dejó Constantinopla y ofreció sus servicios al sultán otomano Mehmed II, quien estaba haciendo preparativos para sitiar la ciudad. Leer más en Wikipedia
