Battle of Kosovo, 1389 ⚔️ The Last stand of the Christians against Ottoman expansion ⚔️ DOCUMENTARY

🚩 With the decline of the Byzantine Empire, the Bulgarian and Serbian states were gradually losing their power, while the young Ottoman state began its conquest of the Balkan lands. Clashes between Ottomans and Serbs, beginning from the 1350’s, led to the gory Battle of Maritsa on 26 September 1371. Some of the powerful Serbian Principalities became vassals of the Ottoman State, while other rallied under the banner of Prince Lazar to stop the Ottomans in the battle of Kosovo...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Hi, a Turk here, i've also read historical accounts on both sides, first i like to thank the creators of this video for objective historical analysis of the battle because they've also used the Ottoman Sources. 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..

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].

A rare example of a battle where neither side broke and fled, as was usual in medieval battles, but instead fought to the bitter end and essentially destroyed each other in the process. The battle would have ruined the Ottomans had they not more forces they could bring up afterwards, and it did ruin the Christians.

[@driiifter]

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.

In the Ottomans, the first cannon was manufactured in Bursa in 1387. The first artillery units in the Ottoman army were used in the Battle of Frenkyazısı between the Ottomans and the Karamanids. However, due to the limited amount of gunpowder, very little was fired in that battle. However, the intensive use of artillery in the Ottoman army was for the first time during the First Kosovo War in 1389. This is a very well known fact and is mentioned in many sources of that period. There is no mention of Ottoman artillery in your video. Really interesting... In addition, the assassination of Murat I is different from the Ottoman historians who wrote about the event at that time. While walking around the post-war area, Murat I was assassinated by the Serbian Miloş, who hid himself among the corpses. If Murat I was assassinated while the war was going on, as the Serbs told, because the throne was empty, Murat I's sons would leave the battlefield and set out for the capital to win the throne. In Ottoman history, we see a similar one in the throne fights between the princes after the Battle of Ankara between Timur and Bayezid. In the Battle of Ankara, the sultan had been taken prisoner and each of the sons had left the battlefield with groups loyal only to them. But we don't see this in the Kosovo War. Murat 1. must have died after the war. Because right then and there, his sons fought with each other and Bayezid immediately took the throne by killing his brother Yakub.

He is a very honorable man.

But the period after is for me the most interesting part of Serbian history. The small renaissance under Stefan and Djuradj. 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.
