Innocent XI was an enthusiastic initiator of the [[Holy League (1684)|Holy League]] which brought together the [[imperial estate|states]] of the [[Holy Roman Empire]] and King [[John III Sobieski]] of [[Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth|Poland-Lithuania]] who in 1683 hastened to the relief of [[Battle of Vienna|Vienna]] which was being besieged by the [[Ottoman Empire|Turks]]. After the siege was raised, Innocent XI again spared no efforts to induce the Christian princes to lend a helping hand for the expulsion of the Turks from [[Ottoman Hungary]]. He contributed millions of scudi to the Turkish war fund in [[Habsburg monarchy|Austria]] and [[Kingdom of Hungary|Hungary]] and had the satisfaction of hearing of the [[Siege of Belgrade (1688)|capture of Belgrade]] on 6 September 1688.<ref name=kelly288/>
