      It should actually be quite easy since the 'c' sound, which is actually ć in its actual latin form, is just a softer version of the č sound, which is the 'ch' sound in 'which' and in Russian surnames, for example 'Vladimir Ilych'. Its just that in many history books just media concerning Serbian, Croatian, Montenegrin, Bosnian, Slovene surnames which end in 'ich' are transcribed as 'ic' in English media, which causes the misconception. So its, Murn-ya-v-che-vich for English speakers I suppose.

    My ancestors - the hungarians - made a huge mistake by invading Serbia after it got weakened. I understand that it was a tempting opportunity but it alienated the Balkans, and ultimately caused Hungary's downfall in. They were extremely arrogant to not notice the threat lurking behind the borderlands, also they were not united, the different vajdas and nobles were having their own squabbles between one another. Greed and corruption was always the real enemy in one's country, as it is nowadays.

    • @Bogdan-uu5oe

      This nobility problem happened all across Europe, this tempting territories problem also happened in all the Europe. Its biggest problem was that was very dependent on Orthodox people in its military part, and the policy of Hungary regarding those people (after the fall of the Arpadian dynasty) was either forced conversion or direct exploitation as unskilled serfs thus it weakened its military very badly. Ottomans offered much better conditions for the Orthodox people and gained a lot of influence because of that.
      Adding the huge dynamic in its royal dynasties, and also some of the kings were not at all aware about Eastern Europe politics, made the Hungarian nobility to gain huge unchallenged power and little interest in following the king (Mohacs is a representation how absurd the things got). Those free warriors were essential in balancing the power in the kingdom.
      Hungary was not able to fix those problems until 1920.

    it is ironic that both rulers died fighting each other (Murad and Lazar) and their sons were allies in Battle of Ankara fighting Timur.

      Well, Despot Stefan Lazarevic, a ruller you are describing, is known as the black knight, one of the founders of the Order of the Dragon. He was one of the most capable knights of his time. Legend of the Black Knight, that has spread troughout Europe, originated from him. And yet, very few Serbs know of this. Bcos we don't learn this in School. We celebrate his father Duke Lazar Hrebeljanovic as a saint, and there is little to none mention of his son. All we mention in history books is that he was very young an inexperienced at the time of battle of Kosovo. And that Vuk Brankovic thought him and held the throne until he came of age to rule.

From this battle to modern times the Serbian armies always go maximum no chill and lose most of their men, to defend at any cost. Its rarely mentioned but after that the Hungarians took in Serbian refugees only to put them at the borders so they defend them against the Ottomans *again* they called it "the living walls" and they did so with success *again* Even though everyone was on their personal interest its crazy how many countries dont even know they were protected by a country they barely knew existed.

      I must mention one thing, there were no Balkan countries, those were all Serbian regions divided. Bosnia was a medieval Serbian region. Before Turks occupation they were all Serbs Orthodox.
      At one point most of them accepted islam and today they are saying that they were always some made up Bosniaks or whatever. To be clear those were no countries just regions and they were all called Serbs.
      Through the centuries they decided not to be Serbs anymore and regions became countries. So today you have Bosnian, Macedonian, Montenegrin...
      Croatia never existed in that time, they were always a region in ether Hungarian or Austro-Hungarian kingdom, and after that Yugoslav kingdom with the Serbian king until the end of WW II.

As a historian, and as a Serbian, was quite stunned by so much false information brought in this ''historical'' overview. Really how such people making such videos don't check sources properly? Especially how they don't CHECK SOURCES FROM THE COUNTRIES OF SUBJECT? It is not like we are on another planet. Serbia is just across some miles away, is it so hard to explore with Serbian historians where are primary sources before making such videos where you present to the world history? They claimed some unknown and uncertain information from some countries which aren't connected mainly to it *(like report to Florence by Bosnian king. ok wth?) Where are Serbian historical sources on all this? And why it isn't mentioned that Kosovo is a Serbian region and where battle has been undergoing? Also saying about vassals on Serbian land was quite inaccurate.

What the Romans did contribute was unity and standardisation. And that unity can be seen in the Gallic wars, the defeat of Varus at teutoberg forest, and many other wars. Ancient Gaul was the opposite to the Roman ideal. It was an ethnically diverse place. Seems like you also forgot the Carthaginians and Hannibal who almost overpowered Rome in the Punic wars. The kingdom of Pontus and the Mithridatic wars. The series of conflicts during the Roman-Greek wars. The Parthians and the Sassanids which in many centuries continue to be a thorn in the sight of Rome in the east of it. And the fact that not much is known of western europe esp. the British isles in that particular time but still the Romans managed to almost reach the northernmost part of the archipelago is something to be amazed of.

    I play as Serbia in EU and it's very interesting to replay this entire situation (or something similar, been a while), very challenging. You're basically the only thing standing between Europe and the Ottoman empire. It's a very delicate game of forming alliances, building economic power and not being too impulsive with the military (you become very rich as Serbia because of Bosnia and proximity to the Adriatic trade ports). I didn't realize Serbia just becomes a vassal, it makes sense though since I always lose if war breaks out and also judging by how Serbia is today lol.

    First of all, I really have to compliment the effort. The amount of time you guys put into researching this is really evident, as you cite various primary sources, and have evidently looked into different narratives about the battle. The effort really surfaces when you mention several really minor details which instantly ring a bell to every battle of Kosovo nerd out there, like the narrative of Marko Mrnjavčević surrendering to Ottomans immediately after Maritza being challenged in recent studies, or Tvrtko's letter to Florence, etc. The other fantastic thing is the surprisingly good pronunciation and really good mapping, which often times gets really horrible when it comes to the partitioning Serbian empire.

    Stefan the by the (holy) book knight of virtue loved by his enemies and allies, who by grace of arms received commendation from Timur the lame on Ankara.
    And Djuradj the old Despot who sacrificed everything for the state the most tragic figure in all of Serbian history.
    Djuradj's grandson who while organizing the remaining Serbian nobles in Hungary, became so renowed that most forgot his name and remember his mythologized nickname "Dragon fiery wolf" up to the point where a little forest in today's Vojvodina has a local legend that he always appears in times of danger to Serbia in that little forest to hunt for the enemies of Serbdom.
    Also a fun fact when he chased Turks around Serbia in the region of Branicevo.
    He stumbled upon a village where the villagers hid the Turkish soldiers and Pasha for money, so he executed all the men, thus the village was renamed to "Udovice/ Widows", he crossed the Morava river and hounded the Turks until a small village that was surrounded by reeds.
    He surrounded the reed field in which the surviving Turks hid and set it on fire, thus the later city of "Pozarevac/ Fire city" got its name.

      It is sometimes even hypothesized that the linguistic boundary between the Geg and Tosk dialects originates in the boundary between the domains of the Epirote and "Illyrian proper" dialects of Illyrian. In support of these theories, it is mentioned that current Albanian words seem to have their Illyrian counterpart: thus to the Albanian Dash ("ram") would correspond the Illyrian Dassius, Dassus, likewise the Albanian Bardhi ("white") would correspond to Bardus, Bardullis, Bardyllis[18]. A few ethnonyms of Illyrian tribes would also seem to have their Albanian counterpart: thus the name of the Dalmatians would correspond to the Albanian Dele ("sheep"); likewise the name of the Dardanians would correspond to the Albanian Dardhë ("pear, pear tree")[19]. But the main argument in favor of this thesis is geographical: the areas where Albanian correspond to one extremity of the ancient "Illyrian" domain[20].

    Secondly, i've read in a source that the knight who killed Sultan Murat, Milos Obilic, had a dispute with Lazeravic and humiliated before the king, thus in the battlefield he felt like he has to clear his name, show his courage in the battlefield. The sources think thats the reason for his "kamikaze" cavalary charge.
    Thirdly i would like to shout out to Serbian people for our dead relatives in the past i do not think it's an crime to say; it's was an honor fighting against you in the fields of Kosovo in 1389, and it was honor fighting beside you in Nicopolis against the Crusaders and against Timur in Ankara. Nation of fierce warriors. Wish you could held up that knightlyhood character as a nation and ultranationalistic atrocities in Bosnia didn't happen.. I've raised myself nationalistic hate towards the Serbian people when i was kid but seeing this historical accounts changed my view dramatically. Benefits of history. Peace.

      Bosnia is a Serb vs Serb war regardless of their religion or name today, you can even see that in this video with King Tvrtko of Bosnia, Lazar and Altomanovic.
      And Serbs suffered greatly under atrocities during 1991-1995, the most refugees (over 1 mil) ended up in Serbia, we were ethnic cleaned from a 100% Serb demographic area the size of Slovenia ((Republic of Srpska Krajina in Croatia, and inside the Federation of BiH (51%), and we have 35% of victims in Bosnia total number, which is around the same amount of population in Bosnia then.
      Its just that in the 90s, everyone beileved CNN and BBC and other MSM as undisputed source (even Serbs did), and you didn't had internet to see all the information.

      You had thousands of Serb victims in Bosnia killed by Bosniaks or Croats but nobody mentions those war crimes. It was CIVIL war where all 3 nations of Bosnia fought for their chunk of land, west at that time was pushing propaganda of "Serbian aggression" and Serbs of Serbia were not even involved into conflict but only Bosnian Serbs. For example Bosniaks that lived in Serbia were living in peace and there was no conflict, just because they were not stupid to go with seccesionist bullshit like Bosniak politicians of Bosnia that pushed country into war with independence referendum without asking Croats and Serbs if they want it.

      You seem to not know that up to 1481 you had Albanians defeating Ottomans in 35 battles , especially between 1431-1481 the era of Gjergj Arianiti and the famous Skanderbeg who was undefeated in 25 years and defeated 2 Sultans.
      So please make a bit more research, because the last stand of Christians was definitely not in 1389, Albanians continued the war up to the next 100 years.
      Try to not make videos with channels such as " Srpske Bitke" that leads to ridiculous propaganda and offends your channel.

    Santayana's admonition that those who fail to study the past are condemned to repeat it has, perhaps, its own ironic twist when used to examine the Serbian experience. In the case of Serbia one might be compelled to argue that those who study the past too much are simply entrapped. The Serbs, and to a great extent the Croats and Bosnian Muslims, have become prisoners of history. How else can we understand the sentiments of an 18-year-old Serbian irregular soldier in Bosnia who claims to be the final avenger of Kosovo?
