In the year 1483 ''Federico of Aragon'', son of Ferdinand king of Naples, was at war with the Venetians.<ref>[http://www.archive.org/stream/canonpietrocaso00casogoog/canonpietrocaso00casogoog_djvu.txt Canon Pietro Casola's Pilgrimage to Jerusalem in the Year 1494 by Pietro Casola - www.archive.org] (Note 58 on p377)</ref> With Lissa (Vis) being destroyed and conquered a large army landed their troops with the aim of conquering Korčula. '''Giorgio Viario''' then ruled the island with the title of count for the republic of the Veneto region. He was a fearless and courageous man who had the city well armed. He positioned the few island fighters in appropriate sites and resolutely defended the town of Korčula. With the aid of these allies he repelled repeated assaults and destroyed the catapults thus turning the tide of the battle in favour of the defenders. His followers also fended off attacks by the other military artilleries employed by the Aragonese to demolish the walls and enter the city. Such was the courage of the Curzolani who for several days resisted this siege, and repelled the attacks. They struck down arrows and made a large number of aggressors fall under the walls.
