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.

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.

Actually real battle of Kosovo was fought between christian armies led by Hungary against Ottoman Empire. Serbs were only minor part and they actually betrayed Christian army and side with Turks. Beware of Serbian propaganda videos.

[@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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

It is like you would rely on sources from Hungary about the fall of King Henry of Brittain.

[@onid.9991]

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].

[@brokenbridge6316]

I've always wondered what happened in this battle. Nice video.

[@orkunyucel3095]

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.

How it is well researched?? How it is the " Last Stand of the Christians" ??? How more ridiculous can this be??? Please channel owner,.make a bit more research before coming with this ridiculous titles. 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.
