The King of Hungary Sigismund called for one of the last a crusade in history and the Crusader army consisting of forces from France, Burgundy, Hungary, Wallachia, Bulgaria, England, Aragon, Germany, Bohemia, Poland, Teutonic Order and Knights Hospitaller fought the Ottoman sultan Bayezid I (Yıldırım Bayezid) and the Prince of Serbia Stefan Lazarević at Nicopolis in Bulgaria (Никопол | Niğbolu).

French Knights at that time period seem like total muscle heads. Not sure if Leroy Jenkins' ancestors are them or not.
:D thanks for reminding me of my WoW days. :-) Yes, that is an apt description.
You kind of missed the point of Yau Lye's comment :P He is saying that they didn't really think things through intelligently, but rather only thought about glory and French victory over their allies...
The Hundred years war is pretty funny, since it can be seen as the french trying over and over to find a way to make their favourite tactic work again (and succeeding, weirdly).
@@TheFiresloth well the French succeeded when they abandoned the focus on knights and created a modern army under Charles VII, they were also precursors (in western Europe) for the use of artillery. So they had to change their favourite tactics.
@@massaweed420 Honestly, I can easily picture a French soldier of the era to not care much about the outcome of the battle in the long run but just how his conduct would be perceived in the eyes of God. Medieval people weren't nearly as afraid of death as we are now, in fact many even looked forward to the eternal paradise.
The proud French knights being overconfident and reckless, this happens over and over again in this period, doesn't it?
Yes, it seems that we are reading about the same battle over and over again for 150 years. At this point, I pity the horses more than the knights. :-)
Cowardly Eastern Europeans though. Retreated at the crucial moment. The Burgundians took the brunt of the battle and still somehow prevailed. So bad.
Quetzalcoatl the east Europeans were thought to continuously try to persuade the burgundians to use the infantry first, so they probably thought that they did everything they could
Plus that, the experienced soldiers in the wallachian continget were few in number, due to the victory that they recently "suffered"( even if they won the battle in 1395, they were outnumbered and they suffered horrific losses too), so it was made mostly from inexperienced men who were easy to rout( especially after they saw how the better equipped and trained burgundians knights were just trashed)
The cavalry charge was really stupid, if only the westerners would've done as the Hungarian king adviced.....
yes true even in Egypt during the battle of Mansoura 1250 AD the 7th crusade led by King Louis IX of France, his Brother Robert I, Count of Artois get ambushed by Mamluks knights and killed because of this reckless behavior
Quetzalcoatl they (the west europeans) was stupids and don't lisen the experimented leader , and sorry for retreting for preparing for next battles and wars , and don't die like fools because a frenchman and like westeners who at next christian vs ottomans war they fight for the Ottomans who every sure they will lose if not the Westerners . For every Westerners killed a thousen tortured no?
''The Crusaders didn't honor the agreement''.
Well, that didn't happen before....

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.
Kings and Generals Are you going to do some battles from Romania? Would love to hear about some of them from my country. Like the battle of Vaslui or the Night Attack of Targoviste.
+Wolf Mann plan to.
Had the French listened to Sigismund and Micrea
Meanwhile, on the Ottoman side:
Bayezid: Hey, Stefan. Do you see these idiots?
Stefan: I do see these idiots, Bayezid.
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

@@papapara2916 I really hate how we weren't able to set our differences aside at least until the Ottoman menace was gone. I like to imagine it would have caused the Oriental Crisis a few centuries earlier.
That was an awesome quote by Bayezid I. Thanks for including it.
We had more quotes, but couldn't incorporate them, maybe later. :-)
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.
3:22 Budapest? Budapest was formed in the end of the 19th century, you can only say either Buda or Pest.;)
+Lampavaja Nyasha I know that. :-) It was a choice made to avoid confusing the viewer. Great nickname, btw.
@@user-db9iz4xk6l yes it was
@@user-db9iz4xk6l the town mentioned in the video was Buda, but there was another town across the Danube, Pest, and those two towns are now Budapest.
So the French got arrogant and refused to listen to sage advice and recklessly went ahead and caused their own defeat? Sounds familiar.
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.
@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.
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.
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. :-)
Kings and Generals if every army in 1300-1400s was infantry based, France would have controlled the whole world

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
Brilliant narration n video. Thanks a lot.

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

Serbs were loyal servants to Ottomans for 200 years. They fought in 20 battles alongside Ottomans. Even went as far as Anatolia to fight for them.
I would absolutely love seeing a documentary over an entire war or at least something more than one battle. Such as the hundreds year war what led up to it all the battles and the repercussions. I know that may be a lot more work and will definitely be a lot longer video but.
We have a couple videos on the Hundred Years' War. Unfortunately, they were less popular. For now, this format seems to be getting enough views, but we are planning to expand. :-)

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. :-)

I love your channel partially thanks to your usage of the Total War game engines.
Is there any chance that you would do the Battle of Arsuf in 1191 during the Third Crusade? It was my favourite Medieval II historical battle when I was small.
Long Time No See
Still love the vids BTW
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.
Overconfident and reckless French troops making a mess becomes a cliche in history. We keep seeing this scenario again and again. Great videos !
excellent vid :) keep going
Thank you very much, will do! :-)
I watched whole Ottoman series:)Thanks man..
Perfect video bro... I am waiting Battle of Ankara :)
Thank you! :-)

Salam from Pakistani brothers to my Turks brothers
If Timur and Beyazid united then Europe would have been fully conquered without a doubt.
If Serbs didnt won on Kosovo in 1389 the whole Europe would fall easily
@@lahaine8026 Serbs lost at Kosovo
If the Crusaders acted in a united and concerted fashion (not just in 1396, earlier crusades too), the Middle East would have been fully conquered without a doubt.

You confused poland with serbia
Good joke.
Nice info thamks for video sir
Love how u read thoes quotes
Beyazid the Thunderbolt was as capable as Timur but his own Anatolian Subjects turned to Timur and he couldnt muster Enough forces to face the enemy as big as timur
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
All are planned. :-)
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 will need to research that topic, don't know the details on the level it is needed.
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?
:D we always retell the same stuff, that is why legends in the remote parts of the world are so similar.
This chanel deserve more subscribers
Can't agree more. Share our videos, that will help :-)
It's so aggravating so many pivotal battles in human history lost due to hubris it's like they never actually learn from the past
