Battle of Nicopolis, 1396 (ALL PARTS) ⚔️ Christians strike back against the Ottomans ⚔️ DOCUMENTARY

🚩 After the Battle of Kosovo in 1389, the Christian hold over south-eastern Europe weakened greatly. The Ottoman Sultanate expanded their control and influence as far as the Danube. But now the European rulers responded. A large Christian coalition mobilized to reduce the growing Ottoman power in Europe.

Whenever a careful victory gets thrown away, why is it always you three?
-French knights
-Pride and overconfidence
-Unplanned frontal cavalry charge

"When your team rushes for the kills instead of playing the objective."
Sums of the French Knights.

"Go and meet me with more allies and bigger armies, so that the glory and the glory that I will gain will be even greater!" Yıldırım Beyazıt, 1396, Nicopolis.

[Sulla-psjv]

King Sigismund: Don’t worry guys! I have a plan!
French: Screw your plan, let’s go.
French: *Get Surrounded*
King Sigismund: Don’t worry, if we put all of forces together, we can still win!
Hungarians and Wallachians: *Run Away*
King Sigmund:*…*

Fun fact, this also happens to be the battle where the famed French Knight John de Carrouges fell in battle at the age of 66. Aka the guy who Matt Damon played in the Last Duel.

[LucasDimoveo]

Leave it to the French nobility to try to tank entire armies by themselves. You'd think they would learn that this sort of tactic only works against peasants and levies

[gforce]

The French had a Leroy Jenkins moment there, one of many in their history. Their inability to learn from past mistakes is mind boggling. Kaloyan slaughtered them in a similar way two centuries earlier at the battle of Adrianople.

[Kriegter]

French Knights: Gets bogged down in their trademark stupid frontal charge
Allied Infantry: I miss the part where that's my problem

[somewhere]

If this particular crusade had not acted so treacherously and brutally, they might have managed to pull more of the locals and even the Serbians to their side and achieved total victory but that was not likely in this era of competing short term interests.

[Demonlord]

Sigismund: We should work together to ensure we achieve total victory.
French Nobles: F1, F3

I discovered your channel pretty recently, but I already watched almost all of your videos with great enthusiasm! Everything is dope. Thank you, HistoryMarche team, for your awesome content!

*Everyone* : _how to lose a battle that is almost for sure supposed to be won?_
*French Knights* : _HOLD MY ARMOUR_

[michaelsinger]

Sigismund and Mircea had the the right idea here. Pity others did not listen to them.

Bayezid was wise to get Stefan and the Serbs as allies. But he would not get to enjoy his victory for long. Timur is coming soon.

[rickjames]

Repeatedly throughout history we have seen this same scenario play out when Christian forces unite. The arrogant French knights(young pups) usually listen to no one and lose several battles due to overconfidence. They arrive full of pride, disregard all, and die while costing everyone else everything. Note to self: Don’t invite French aristocrats.

[resileaf]

I remember watching this, but had forgotten most of the details. What a joy it is to watch and experience it once more. :D

[ikielinsesi]

According to Ottoman sources, upon the ransoms for the nobles had been paid, they swore to never fight against Bayezid. But Bayezid replied with: “I return this oath to you. Go, gather armies and advance on me again. And give me the opportunity to regain the glory of victory!”

He was the chad of the 14th century.

Best narrator of any of these types of channels, excellent work.

[kalafinwe]

In the name of all the Serbs, we do not apologies to the Allies. They should have helped before or after the battle of Kosovo, instead of bickering amongst themselves.

The Serbs here did not betray christendom, but rather christendom betrayed the Serbs. We did what we could and now had to survive under the boots of the Ottomans.

Stefan Lazarevic is the prime example of leadership, chivalry and bravery. He would have been an amazing asset to the Allies if they have helped the Serbs.
