An interesting fact about the Battle of Nicopolis...
CONTEXT: King Stefan Lazarević ruled Serbia between 1402–1427. Despite being a Christian King, he became a Vassal of the Ottoman Empire during Sultan Bayezid's reign due to pragmatic reasons. One of his notable acts as an Ottoman vassal was during the Battle of Nicopolis, where he successfully led a cavalry charge to intercept the main force of the Crusader Army, who were attempting to rescue the French Knights, who were ambushed and trapped by Ottoman Sipahis after a failed cavalry charge.
