MARK OF AVIANO. - Capuchin, b. at Aviano on 17 Nov. 1631, d. at Vienna on 13 Aug. 1699. Ordained a priest, he devoted himself to preaching, exerting a vivid and irresistible fascination over countless crowds.
In 1683 he cooperated in the liberation of Vienna besieged by the Turks, maintaining peace among the commanders and urging them to timely action. He was counselor, instigator and peacemaker during the sieges and battles of Budapest (1684), Neuhäusel (1685), Budapest (1686), Mohács (1687) and Belgrade (1688). To strengthen the war against the Turks he cooperated in 1684 in Venice's entry into the Holy League and in its preservation despite the practical defection of Poland.
