Bedr (Mohammed's War with the Koreish).

After his victory, Mohammed pursued and captured the caravan.
Bedriacum (Revolt of Vitellius).

Bega (Ottoman Wars).
Fought 1696, between the Turks, under Mustapha II, and the Imperialists, when the Turks gained a complete victory.
Belgrade (Ottoman Wars).
Siege was laid to this city by a large Turkish army under Mohammed II, the defence being in the hands of John Hunyady.

Mohammed was wounded in the course of the siege.
