Not after that fight actually. He was mentioned as Yıldırım in some of his father's letters too. That means Bayezid was so good at wars that he was nicknamed Yıldırım even before he became padişah
FUN FACT: Stefan recognised his brother-in-law Nicholas II Garai, who fought for the other side, and managed to help him get across the Danube, away from the Ottoman captivity. ANOTHER FUN FACT: Stefan managed to capture Sigismund's banner during this battle. The banner was guarded by Stefan's brother-in-law, Nicholas II Garai. THIRD FUN FACT: Sigismund managed to escape by a fisherman's boat.
Great facts! There is an episode that depicts Bayezid's annoyance with the first and the second fact. He hoped that Nicholas will stay out of the war or will be captured/killed by Stefan.
kings and princes do not have family relations like commoners. if u die, ur brother in law has right to claim the throne. its always better to keep him busy somewhere far from palace

Well from the Wallachain perspective Mircea took the right decision: why loose his troops when himself and Sigismund told the french time and time again to atack together.
Mirchea was a wise and clever ruler. I like how he dressed up as a peace emissary before the battle of Rovine and talked to Bayezid asking him to leave Wallachia and promising him safe passage back.
An example of how arrogance and excessive pride can lead to defeat and death. Sigismund and Mircea proposed that the Wallachian infantry attack first since they had experience against the Ottomans from the previous years of fighting and the first line of the Ottoman soldiers consisted of slighty weaker troops used to tire the enemy until the Spahis joined to attacked the tired and disorganised enemy, but the French refused because they thought that they will lose the opportunity to gain honor and prestige in favour of the Wallachians
But you saw the video. Had they stayed and fight they would of saved the French knights and possibly would of won the battle or at least save the knights and allow for an ordered retreat.
@@KingsandGenerals He always mentions justifications for defeating the Europeans if they were defeated, but he does not mention the turmoil that the Muslim generals suffered.

Wtf.... France, Britain, Italy, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Czech, Romania, Malta, Netherland, Poland vs Turks+Serbs.... But still???? Did this really happened........??
It's not France, Britain, Germany, etc, but adventurers from France, Italy, Germany, etc. At that time the Crusades were a meant for the younger (and so excluded from succession) son of the nobles to loot some booty and reclaim some land for themself.
In the Battle of Varna the only forces coming from western Europe were an handful of Papal and Teutonic Knights. Only Poland and Hungary sent something resembling a substantial force. The same year, at the Battle of St. Jakob an der Birs, the French alone employed vs the Swiss more men than the combined Christian forces at Varna, and they were still fighting the English on another front.
also "turks". The ottoman army consistes of multiple nations of the ottoman empire. There were men from the balkans, anatolia, arabia and so on. This idea of yeah turks against all of europe is just dumb.
Serbians were also the last to stand their ground and continue fighting till the very end in the battle of Ankara despite a significant turkic elements of the ottoman army defected to the timur’s army. Even timur expressed his admiration for serbian gallantry in that battle. Indeed serbians were fantastic and honorable warriors and loyal allies back then

Wow, you guys are improving at a stellar pace. The change of narrators is really helping, and you've stopped sounding too dramatic. Keep up the good work! That said, I spotted two minor errors in this video: Firstly, the Knights Hospitaller's army appears to originate from Malta, which is perhaps their best-known base, but in the 1390s they were stationed on Rhodes, which they acquired in 1310 and lost in 1522. Secondly, you referred to the Hungarian capital as Budapest, but Budapest was created as a unification of Buda, Pest, and Óbuda in 1873, Buda having been the capital until then. I could see why you might want to call it Budapest just for the audience's sake, but it would only take a second to say e.g. "Buda, the Hungarian capital" instead, and it'd be more accurate!
Imagine if the Muslims kingdoms in the east started a crusade against Europe , The mamluks , the seljuks , The fatimid caliphate , the abbasid caliphate, the delhi sultanate , the golden horde and the afghans kings all joined together and started an invasion of eruope then europeans historians will say that they were "hundred of thousands" even millions of Muslim marched towards europe. But when Europeans did this and were crushed decisively in every crusade they said "oh they were only 20,000 not more than this". This is called hypocrisy.
so so true. This channel NEVER mentions the true European numbers. We Muslims were always outnumbered. Yet crushed them. Now they spread fake numbers to save their faces.
@@lionheart3916 How the hell do u bring up the disastrous third crusade? All of Europe attacked just one King (Saladin) and STILL couldn't take Jerusalem whereas Richard the Donkeyhart drove England to bankruptcy

Ottoman, safavid and mughal alliance would be enough to conquer the whole old world except china. Imagine russia, germany and uk allying in ww1 against rest. That would be the same. 3 most powerful gunpowder empires against knights in sword and plate.
One of the most interesting things you learn in this series is that the different Christian kingdoms (Serbs, Wallachians, Moldavians, Hungarians etc.) seemed to have been spending more time fighting each other than being united against the Turks, or even siding with the Turks against another Christian kingdom. It goes to show that this idea of a united Christian Europe fighting against Islam is a myth invented by modern day ethnonationalists.
Inrerestingly they taught similar things to us( I am turkish) at school. We were told that the entire Christianity united against Turks although it is very obvious that this is all lies to gather people’s favoritism towards their management.
It’s mostly depending on who is the main threat to one of them , and who is the weak The Catholics fought a lot against Orthodoxs I guess since the division of the Roman Empire but also against the Muslims in Anatolia, Levant and the Iberian peninsula too on the western side when the crusades started and made treaties with the byzantines and Hungarians The orthodox byzantines in the other hand also fought a lot with the early Muslim Arabs and the Muslim Seljuk Turks And Russians were another tough enemy to the ottomans The ottomans too turned against the Armenians after they were living in under the ottoman rule for 4 centuries in WW1 after their revolts Sides can sometimes easily change, just like Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, fought together against Poland and fought each other about 4 years after
1618-1648 the 30 years war, christians fighting each other and destroying Europe World War I & World War II.... Always christians against christians, now they try something new: christians vs. muslims
@@kubilaygitmisoglu2342 Lmao, no. Turkish history lessons at high school make it explicit that Balkan's being not united, lack of central powers and Black Plague contributed to rise of Ottomans and once Europe got centralized, Black Plague ended and Ottoman reached natural borders, Ottoman expansion ended.
The early ottomans were really bad assess nothing seemed to be able to stop them, apart from that setback by the Timurids who were by the way also of central Asian Muslim descent.
@HT The term "turkic" in medieval era is the same as caucasian today. In other words, it was of absolutely no importance to the people of the time. The turkish nationalism that you speak of today was created by the secular officers of the Ottoman empire in the early 20th century.
Crusade of Varna next please 😀😀 Future suggestion 1) Battle of Alcacer Quibir - Morocco vs Portugal where King of Portugal die on battlefield and result in Iberian Union between Spain & Portugal 2) Battle of Ain Jalut - Mongol was defeated by Mamluk. Kick ass battle and change of course of history
Kings and Generals nice great to hear that 😀 will lose love if you do video about Norman Conquest of Sicily from Muslim Saracen . Not many people talk about it. People seem focus on Reconquista Spain only
I think there's no report of the portuguese king Sebastian dying in Alcacer-Qibir, his body was never found. This means God took him to save Portugal when the time comes. ... People were not very creative with their legends, weren't they?
the Belgian but honestly it doesn’t give a proper advantage to either side because the different factions will be comprised of different types of unit with different tactics and strategies so fighting against them will be harder but on the other hand they will be more divided and wouldn’t be a United force and they’ll do their own things. So it’s like an even match up

Despot Stefan Lazarević had good relationship with King Sigismund of Hungary. King Sigismund even granted fortresses of Belgrade and Golubac to Despot Stefan, concluded alliance with him and Despot Stefan was even a high member of the Crusader Order of the Dragon formed by King Sigismund. The battle of Nicopolis was I think just a payback for King Sigismund's actions when Despot Stefan just ascended to the throne of Serbia, when King Sigismund attacked Serbia from the north.
Great video, hope this will blow up like that Kosovo battle. Consider adding numbers and showing them in your video's. Like how many soldiers were there and how many killed. Like BazBattles does at the end of the battle.
Thanks! Same here, hope it blows up. :-) Problem with adding numbers and stats like that are the sources. They are all over the place. For instance, early Western sources claim that Ottomans had 400,000 warriors. I mean, Ottomans probably had less population at that point. :-) But, we will think about that. :-)

As a fellow Hungarian, my eyes almost popped, when you talked about Budapest and called it the capital. It is true, that it is our capital now, but back then Visegrad had that title: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_historical_capitals_of_Hungary Also Budapest was the result of the merge of two growing agglomerations: Buda and Pest. They were separately administrated cities till 1873: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Budapest One can argue, that calling the city Budapest helps easier understanding instead of the lengthy explanation: "The crusaders joined forces with Sigismund at Buda, former predecessor part of what today known as Budapest". But calling it a capital is historically inaccurate, and in a series, like this, I think you should try to be as accurate as possible. For starters you can ask me about Hungarian history anytime you like (I loved to learn history during high school). If you can find historian(s), who can verify your scripts and facts for your videos, that would be even better.
That is what happens when you assume that you know everything. I knew about the Visegrad period, but for some reason assumed that it was over at that time. Yes, you are right, I thought that saying "Budapest" will make it easier for a casual viewer. Thanks for pointing these out. Sorry.
Actually Sigismund's capitol city was Buda. Even when he became Holy Roman Emperor he kept Buda as his Capitol. I think it is fair to say that Buda was the capitol of the Kingdom of Hungary at that point. I also noticed this "Budapest" mistake. Also the creation of Budapest was a merger of three cities not two. Buda, Pest and Óbuda. Óbuda means ancient-buda which was a city built upon the roman city of Aquincum. Óbuda is on the Buda side of the Danube and is District III of current Budapest.
After some digging it seems like, that during Sigismund's rule Buda really became the capital (as Visegrad was losing it's "capital" popularity). Although different sources (wiki/non-wiki/hungarian/non-hungarian) have different dates but they are consistent in describing this transition. So at this point it seems like a bigger mistake to state that it wasn't the Hungarian capital than that it was.
no army sailed to Budapest before this battle, as Budapest did not exist till 1873, when it was created with the unification of Buda, Pest and Óbuda. The royal capitol of Hungary at this time was Buda
Makes me wonder how useful European tactics actually were. They get their ass kicked everytime they fight a non european army. Makes me think that all glory behind european heavy cavalry is nothing more dramatization which most likely made by teenagers who hyped about knights and heavy cavalry but without much knowledge and understanding about outcomes. I personally like the picture of french knight with lance but history show much different picture.
I know I'm answering this 8 month later,but this is a fairly uninformed comment. European tactics could be as effective as any other army,but it was not suited to fight experienced light horse infantry. While they might be "light",they trained their whole lives,and were incredibly effective in the suited situation. The Mongols conquered a good bit of Asia and Europe on the back of their light cavalry. Heavy European knight used to chase light infantry always end in the same way. Death. Cause they can't catch them. A wise commander knows that(Sigismund apparently) and uses his cavalry wisely.
Simply because in the medieval times (and even before), Europeans followed a very different doctrine in terms of armor and how to approach enemy, where they relied on very heavy cavalry and infantry with slow manoeuvrability. Whilst the Middle Easterns (Arabs and Muslims in general) followed a completely different doctrine, they relied on light cavalry and infantry with high manoeuvrability. Each doctrine has its own flaws, so only smart leaders could utilise what they had on hand to win battles. You can trace these things in all the battles fought between the east and the west, from Spain (when it was under Arab's control) to the Levant.
They won if the caught them but that depended a lot on terrain and there was always the risk that you we supposed to pursue them to spring an ambush. Competent leaders only allowed them short control charges. Like you see in the third crusade. But being aristocrats it took a very firm hand to control them.
Not that suprising that European sources would massively inflate the Ottoman numbers. That way it wouldn't seem like they were embarassingly out-strategied and out-maneuvered, which they were. Bayezid seems like he went there to win a battle, while the French knights went there to live out a Crusader fantasy.
Stefan Lazarevic joined the Ottomans because Hungarians attacked and took Borac and Cestin, fortress in Serbia, just couple of months after battle of Kosovo in 1389. Then, if someone asks why Stefan Lazarevic joined the Turks, the answer is that Hungarians in that time were also hostile towards Serbia.
6:45 It was actually the Wallachian Prince , Mircea the Elder who proposed the plan and asked to be let to start the attack to break the Ottomans' wall.

Next episode. :-)
Omega Alpha Timur was Turkish not mongol

+Kenny Zhang yep, he did.
FUN FACT: Stefan recognised his brother-in-law Nicholas II Garai, who fought for the other side, and managed to help him get across the Danube, away from the Ottoman captivity.
ANOTHER FUN FACT: Stefan managed to capture Sigismund's banner during this battle. The banner was guarded by Stefan's brother-in-law, Nicholas II Garai.
THIRD FUN FACT: Sigismund managed to escape by a fisherman's boat.
Great facts! There is an episode that depicts Bayezid's annoyance with the first and the second fact. He hoped that Nicholas will stay out of the war or will be captured/killed by Stefan.
kings and princes do not have family relations like commoners. if u die, ur brother in law has right to claim the throne. its always better to keep him busy somewhere far from palace

Everyone else: You know nothing Mircea.
Yep, that is a great summation. :-) In later centuries we see that likes of Mircea get more and more prominence in the armies.

Meanwhile, on the Ottoman side:
Bayezid: Hey, Stefan. Do you see these idiots?
Stefan: I do see these idiots, Bayezid.
The lightning effect when Beyazid shows up gaves me goosebumps. Perfect.
Thank you!

That was an awesome quote by Bayezid I. Thanks for including it.
We had more quotes, but couldn't incorporate them, maybe later. :-)
Bayezid : I see your courage (looking down to all europe)
Behold ! I ll be like lightening during the battle ! ( As he did indeed)
I can say that Bayezid ridiculously humilated all europe !

Well from the Wallachain perspective Mircea took the right decision: why loose his troops when himself and Sigismund told the french time and time again to atack together.
Yep, difficult to blame. I would probably have strangled Jean with my hands. :-)
Mirchea was a wise and clever ruler. I like how he dressed up as a peace emissary before the battle of Rovine and talked to Bayezid asking him to leave Wallachia and promising him safe passage back.
An example of how arrogance and excessive pride can lead to defeat and death. Sigismund and Mircea proposed that the Wallachian infantry attack first since they had experience against the Ottomans from the previous years of fighting and the first line of the Ottoman soldiers consisted of slighty weaker troops used to tire the enemy until the Spahis joined to attacked the tired and disorganised enemy, but the French refused because they thought that they will lose the opportunity to gain honor and prestige in favour of the Wallachians
And the answer was "You know nothing poor east europians." And this arrogance brought its fruit.
But you saw the video. Had they stayed and fight they would of saved the French knights and possibly would of won the battle or at least save the knights and allow for an ordered retreat.
I really like that you always talk about the things which happened before the battle. "Context is for kings"
Thanks! It is important to know how the battles came to be. :-)
@@KingsandGenerals He always mentions justifications for defeating the Europeans if they were defeated, but he does not mention the turmoil that the Muslim generals suffered.

It's not France, Britain, Germany, etc, but adventurers from France, Italy, Germany, etc. At that time the Crusades were a meant for the younger (and so excluded from succession) son of the nobles to loot some booty and reclaim some land for themself.
@Neutron Alchemist what about battle of varna??
Were those countries or just few independents against Ottomans?
In the Battle of Varna the only forces coming from western Europe were an handful of Papal and Teutonic Knights. Only Poland and Hungary sent something resembling a substantial force. The same year, at the Battle of St. Jakob an der Birs, the French alone employed vs the Swiss more men than the combined Christian forces at Varna, and they were still fighting the English on another front.
@@neutronalchemist3241 According to the western europeans, they did all of the work, when in the reality they sent only few thousands troops.

Wow, you guys are improving at a stellar pace. The change of narrators is really helping, and you've stopped sounding too dramatic. Keep up the good work!
That said, I spotted two minor errors in this video: Firstly, the Knights Hospitaller's army appears to originate from Malta, which is perhaps their best-known base, but in the 1390s they were stationed on Rhodes, which they acquired in 1310 and lost in 1522. Secondly, you referred to the Hungarian capital as Budapest, but Budapest was created as a unification of Buda, Pest, and Óbuda in 1873, Buda having been the capital until then. I could see why you might want to call it Budapest just for the audience's sake, but it would only take a second to say e.g. "Buda, the Hungarian capital" instead, and it'd be more accurate!
This, exactly
Music that you used in this video is great.
Thanks! :-)
totally agree, but whats the name of the song at 5:37?
Damocles DoguOgu probably a middle eastern miscellaneous song
You guys forgot the mention the exceptionally heroic French knight who led the charge: L'roi du Jenkin
Imagine if the Muslims kingdoms in the east started a crusade against Europe , The mamluks , the seljuks , The fatimid caliphate , the abbasid caliphate, the delhi sultanate , the golden horde and the afghans kings all joined together and started an invasion of eruope then europeans historians will say that they were "hundred of thousands" even millions of Muslim marched towards europe. But when Europeans did this and were crushed decisively in every crusade they said "oh they were only 20,000 not more than this". This is called hypocrisy.
so so true. This channel NEVER mentions the true European numbers. We Muslims were always outnumbered. Yet crushed them. Now they spread fake numbers to save their faces.

Ottoman, safavid and mughal alliance would be enough to conquer the whole old world except china. Imagine russia, germany and uk allying in ww1 against rest. That would be the same. 3 most powerful gunpowder empires against knights in sword and plate.
One of the most interesting things you learn in this series is that the different Christian kingdoms (Serbs, Wallachians, Moldavians, Hungarians etc.) seemed to have been spending more time fighting each other than being united against the Turks, or even siding with the Turks against another Christian kingdom. It goes to show that this idea of a united Christian Europe fighting against Islam is a myth invented by modern day ethnonationalists.
@@capablemachine 30 years war*
80 Years War was the Dutch-Spanish War
Inrerestingly they taught similar things to us( I am turkish) at school. We were told that the entire Christianity united against Turks although it is very obvious that this is all lies to gather people’s favoritism towards their management.
It’s mostly depending on who is the main threat to one of them , and who is the weak
The Catholics fought a lot against Orthodoxs I guess since the division of the Roman Empire but also against the Muslims in Anatolia, Levant and the Iberian peninsula too on the western side when the crusades started and made treaties with the byzantines and Hungarians
The orthodox byzantines in the other hand also fought a lot with the early Muslim Arabs and the Muslim Seljuk Turks
And Russians were another tough enemy to the ottomans
The ottomans too turned against the Armenians after they were living in under the ottoman rule for 4 centuries in WW1 after their revolts
Sides can sometimes easily change, just like Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, fought together against Poland and fought each other about 4 years after
1618-1648 the 30 years war, christians fighting each other and destroying Europe
World War I & World War II.... Always christians against christians, now they try something new: christians vs. muslims
@@kubilaygitmisoglu2342 Lmao, no. Turkish history lessons at high school make it explicit that Balkan's being not united, lack of central powers and Black Plague contributed to rise of Ottomans and once Europe got centralized, Black Plague ended and Ottoman reached natural borders, Ottoman expansion ended.
French soldiers presuming their superiority of arms/training/fortification over the enemy and then loosing badly? That's new.
Username checks out. :-) To be honest, they were the best fighters skill-wise.
I believe that at least Henry V. , Arthur Wellesley, Otto von Bismarck and Erwin Rommel would dare to disagree.
What I meant was that the French knights were, probably, the best individual fighters of their time. And that made them cocky bastards. :-)

Despot Stefan Lazarević had good relationship with King Sigismund of Hungary. King Sigismund even granted fortresses of Belgrade and Golubac to Despot Stefan, concluded alliance with him and Despot Stefan was even a high member of the Crusader Order of the Dragon formed by King Sigismund. The battle of Nicopolis was I think just a payback for King Sigismund's actions when Despot Stefan just ascended to the throne of Serbia, when King Sigismund attacked Serbia from the north.
true! He had a greatest title (despot) in the Order of the Dragon

As a fellow Hungarian, my eyes almost popped, when you talked about Budapest and called it the capital. It is true, that it is our capital now, but back then Visegrad had that title:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_historical_capitals_of_Hungary
Also Budapest was the result of the merge of two growing agglomerations: Buda and Pest. They were separately administrated cities till 1873:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Budapest
One can argue, that calling the city Budapest helps easier understanding instead of the lengthy explanation:
"The crusaders joined forces with Sigismund at Buda, former predecessor part of what today known as Budapest". But calling it a capital is historically inaccurate, and in a series, like this, I think you should try to be as accurate as possible. For starters you can ask me about Hungarian history anytime you like (I loved to learn history during high school). If you can find historian(s), who can verify your scripts and facts for your videos, that would be even better.
That is what happens when you assume that you know everything. I knew about the Visegrad period, but for some reason assumed that it was over at that time. Yes, you are right, I thought that saying "Budapest" will make it easier for a casual viewer. Thanks for pointing these out. Sorry.
Actually Sigismund's capitol city was Buda. Even when he became Holy Roman Emperor he kept Buda as his Capitol. I think it is fair to say that Buda was the capitol of the Kingdom of Hungary at that point.
I also noticed this "Budapest" mistake.
Also the creation of Budapest was a merger of three cities not two. Buda, Pest and Óbuda. Óbuda means ancient-buda which was a city built upon the roman city of Aquincum. Óbuda is on the Buda side of the Danube and is District III of current Budapest.
After some digging it seems like, that during Sigismund's rule Buda really became the capital (as Visegrad was losing it's "capital" popularity). Although different sources (wiki/non-wiki/hungarian/non-hungarian) have different dates but they are consistent in describing this transition. So at this point it seems like a bigger mistake to state that it wasn't the Hungarian capital than that it was.
So, I am partly off the hook? :-)
As far as I am concerned, you are completely off the hook. :)
no army sailed to Budapest before this battle, as Budapest did not exist till 1873, when it was created with the unification of Buda, Pest and Óbuda. The royal capitol of Hungary at this time was Buda
True. But it was easier to say Budapest. Hope, that it is not a big deal.
Makes me wonder how useful European tactics actually were. They get their ass kicked everytime they fight a non european army. Makes me think that all glory behind european heavy cavalry is nothing more dramatization which most likely made by teenagers who hyped about knights and heavy cavalry but without much knowledge and understanding about outcomes. I personally like the picture of french knight with lance but history show much different picture.
I know I'm answering this 8 month later,but this is a fairly uninformed comment. European tactics could be as effective as any other army,but it was not suited to fight experienced light horse infantry. While they might be "light",they trained their whole lives,and were incredibly effective in the suited situation. The Mongols conquered a good bit of Asia and Europe on the back of their light cavalry. Heavy European knight used to chase light infantry always end in the same way. Death. Cause they can't catch them. A wise commander knows that(Sigismund apparently) and uses his cavalry wisely.
Simply because in the medieval times (and even before), Europeans followed a very different doctrine in terms of armor and how to approach enemy, where they relied on very heavy cavalry and infantry with slow manoeuvrability. Whilst the Middle Easterns (Arabs and Muslims in general) followed a completely different doctrine, they relied on light cavalry and infantry with high manoeuvrability. Each doctrine has its own flaws, so only smart leaders could utilise what they had on hand to win battles.
You can trace these things in all the battles fought between the east and the west, from Spain (when it was under Arab's control) to the Levant.
They won if the caught them but that depended a lot on terrain and there was always the risk that you we supposed to pursue them to spring an ambush.
Competent leaders only allowed them short control charges. Like you see in the third crusade. But being aristocrats it took a very firm hand to control them.
And there is "Only knights can swing a sword". At least they decided this is bs after fucked up hundred times.
Michael Miller Yeah yeah, we heard that that crusaders from Kılıj Arslan, Danişment Gümüş Tegin Ghazi, Tuğtekin ( Dodequin ) etc.
i wish I had such a history teacher in my childhood. Keep it up
+Onder Gun that is a high praise, but our channel is just a starting point. Books and historians are still the ones who provide the knowledge. Thanks!
Another great upload
And there will be more on Sunday. :-)
Not that suprising that European sources would massively inflate the Ottoman numbers. That way it wouldn't seem like they were embarassingly out-strategied and out-maneuvered, which they were. Bayezid seems like he went there to win a battle, while the French knights went there to live out a Crusader fantasy.
9:17 anyone else notice the guy gets his head cut off with a mace? Like that’s skill right there...
Excellent and informative series on the Ottomans! Where did you get that ominous version of 'Cedin Dedden' from? I love it!

John Rambo Dude, Albanians are Turks on the Western Balkan Peninsula
Stefan Lazarevic joined the Ottomans because Hungarians attacked and took Borac and Cestin, fortress in Serbia, just couple of months after battle of Kosovo in 1389. Then, if someone asks why Stefan Lazarevic joined the Turks, the answer is that Hungarians in that time were also hostile towards Serbia.
Long live Sultan Beyazit aka The Lightning Bolt 🇹🇷⚡🇹🇷⚡🇹🇷
Great video! You should do one on the Siege of Szigetvár!
6:45 It was actually the Wallachian Prince , Mircea the Elder who proposed the plan and asked to be let to start the attack to break the Ottomans' wall.
