It’s understated how much the conditions of a night time raid could confuse and cause panic among a camp. Half of them probably awoke late to the sound of slaughter and fled, while the rest fought barely armed and with no will to fight. Tactically speaking, it can be really hard to gauge numerical strength at night, too. A 20:1 defensive advantage should be nearly insurmountable, but the defenders never knew. It’s truly an impressive feat.

@sourweed9818

Жыл бұрын

@@dalibor.veselinovic The name of this battle in Turkish is "Sırpsındığı" which means "the place that Serbs exterminated or annihilated". In Ottoman chronicles, the real commander of the raiders was Haji Ilbey( meaning of his name "Haji means pilgrim, il means land, bey means Lord"). Another akinji(raider) bey(Lord). He was a Turkoman from another Anatolian principality, Karesids. He entered Ottoman service. At that time Ottomans were famous in all Asia Minor and beyond because of their successes. Even Moorish traveller Ibn Battuta mentions them as holy warriors of Islam in far away borderlands. Adventurers, zealots, dissidents from all dozens of fragmented Anatolian emirates flocked to Ottomans. These warriors called as Ghazis(holy raiders). First nine Ottoman rulers titled themselves as Ghazis too. Early Ottoman historian Ahmedi in his work explain the meaning of Ghazi: "A Ghazi is the instrument of the religion of Allah, a servant of God who purifies the earth from the filth of polytheism. The Ghazi is the sword of God, he is the protector and the refuge of the believers. If he becomes a martyr in the ways of God, do not believe that he has died, he lives in beatitude with Allah, he has eternal life." Lala Shahin ( meaning of his name "Lala means mentor, Shahin means falcon) was not the commander in battle according the Ottoman chronicles. He was beylerbeyi. The bey of all beys in Rumelia. After the victory Haji Ilbey died. Some European historians like Hammer speculated that he was poisened by Lala Shahin out of jealousy. Ottoman sources record that the Serbs were completely drunk. The development of the war is almost the same with this video.

As someone of Serbian heritage, I think that the Battle of Maritsa is the most tragic moment in Serbian history. Even with 20000 troops, Vukasin and Ugljesa could have inflicted a serious defeat on the Ottomans and captured Edirne but were so overconfident that they let their guard down. I read that many of the Serbian soldiers were drunk that night and in no condition to fight when the small band of Turks ambushed them.

During the middle ages, most of Europe was a tinderbox. If anything, the Ottomans saved Europe from being destroyed by these wars. Today's survival of Serbian and slavic culture is a testament to the Ottoman policy of preserving and protecting the nations they conquered. The Ottoman goal was to rebuild the Holy Roman Empire with an administration that tolerated all religions and not just one "Universal" Church.

Uroš was very opposite from his father Dušan, as they described from the sources he was more into books, orthodoxy, always somehow absent of this world and focused on praying. In one book I read one author even described him as "person of the other world" saying that he was more focused on wisdom then on concrete actions leaving "thing to go as they should". I think actually he was a person born in a wrong time, somehow that weak but very beautiful personality was not acceptable back then especially if you are an emperor son. Unfortunately everyone used his weakness and tried to exploit him. Maybe Dušan with Uroš from his birth tried to achieve something that he was missing in his own life when he was grooving up and to put him some values that he was eventually forced to brake many times in order to come to emperor status. Side note: Nikola Altomanović deserve episode for himself, he was a brutal ruler of the area he was controlling and if Lazar not outsmarted him in Užice siege he could easily end up as the next emperor. He end up being blinded and sent into monastery.

Uroš maybe wanted to step down more early but half of the nobles of that time still supported Uroš including majority of the people in the empire. Brining down single emperor son by killing him or do anything else (which they had chance to do multiple times) would just result in a mass lords and locals revolt because his father Dušan although strict was a very popular ruler and even more importantly part of Nemanjić dynasty . Uroš on place where he was, always praying and living more monastic then diplomatic life was the best solution for Vukašin who know that he will die sooner or later and that everything will fall into his hands afterwards. Since Uroš was captured they had a chance to kill him right away or shame him in front of everyone but they decided to send him back knowing that it will turn local population against anyone who would harm him. Vukašin at the end maybe got what is deserved for guiding army in the wrong way but Uroš died right afterwards and then even greater mess happens with local lords attacking each others. Nikola Altomanović turn out to be the next candidate but due to twist and turns Lazar arise as the smartest in that whole game of thrones.

On the surface level, you have 1,000 well trained soldiers that was able to coordinate with eachother in the darkness and not only surprise the Serbians but also kept up the pressure and surrounded them. Beneath the surface, we see near master level of manipulation of fear to cause an army 20x it's size to rout. It's hard to control troops in chaotic battles, but we see here the Ottoman commander was extremely skilled.

I am from Prilep, the city where Marko Mrnjavcevic lived and built a fortress known as Marko's Towers. We learned in school that it was a big battle, but it was just an underestimation of the enemies and not good scouts. It's unfortunate

"И би велико весеље и радости и пиће вина и јела и свако неуправљање и неуређење. А Агаренски начелник чувши за долазак краља Вукашина са великом силом и беху у великој недоумици и не малом ужасу и договорише се да дају данак и пошаљу посреднике краљу Вукашину са речима:„Остави нас да овде останемо и ми ћемо ти бити као слуге и даћемо данак какав хоћеш.” И дођоше посредници као уходе и видеше где леже пијани као војска без главе икаквог управљања. И убрзо се натраг вратише свом начелнику, и приповедаху му сва неуправљања и рекоше: „Данас ће бити наше.” И подигоше се једнодушно сви Агарени и дођоше до места где војска беше и изненада нападоше на њих. То је било рано ујтру и разбише српску војску.” written by monk Pajsije in "Life of Tsar Uroš"

It sure weakened Bulgaria and completely cut off Turnovo from the lands in Macedonia, however the Bulgarian army was not absolutely crippled as in 1332 only two years later it became victorious in a major battle against the Byzantines near Rusokastro. Other factors also helped weakening the Bulgarian military and political power right before the Ottoman conquest, like the decentralization of the state and the plague.

Because it wasnt just thousand men. Turkish historians used this battle to create a legend, they downplayed the Turkish numbers and inflated Serbian, sometimes saying it is even 70k. Turks certainly ambushed the bigger army but it probably was up to 4 times smaller not more.

@@bruhmcchaddeus413 there are no real sources, only legends written long after the battle. What they used as a source I don't know, but if you look at older battles where we have actual numbers and look at what Mrnjavcevic contolled at that time their numbers couldn't be bigger than 15k. Like I said the ratio was not more then 4 to 1. This was clearly a big loss for Mrnjavcevic family, but the story around this battle is just used by Turks for myth building just like ancient Greeks created a myth of 300 at Thermopylae.

The west european school system teaches "anglo saxon" view on history. I have never been taught anything about what happened in the balkans during medieval times, but we were taught all about France, Spain, England and the german states. I went to school in Sweden during the 1970's. It's a pity, really, since many of the most important things that would form western Europe as we know it today actually took place in the east.

In Turkish sources, the attack and victory is attributed to an Akinci bey called Haci Ilbey. Lala Sahin Pasha was a vezir (a high ranking pasha) and personal tutor to Murad (hence the nickname Lala). Murad left Edirne’s governance to Lala Sahin Pasha. Learning about the impending Serbian attack, Lala Sahin sent the experienced and quick witted Haci Ilbey to scout the enemy. Little is known about Hacı Ilbey, except that he was a well respected Akinci Bey and good friend of Evrenos Bey (one of the most famous early “Ghazi” beys of Ottomans). Haci Ilbey did recon duty without the enemy noticing and decided that with Murad not able to cross to Balkans on time, Edirne stood no chance to this heavily armored cavalry force. He also noticed the overconfidence of the Serbs (his scouts were not noticed or worse yet, ignored) and decided that the only chance for victory would be a surprise attack. He waited until midnight hours and used deception (multiple torches on each Akinci horseman’s hands) and attacked the camp. Unfortunately, Haci Ilbey disappears from historical records shortly after the victory at Maritsa. Some early Ottoman historians mention a claim that Haci Ilbey was poisoned by Lala Sahin who was envious of his great victory.

“…But those ˹believers˺ who were certain they would meet Allah reasoned, “How many times has a small force vanquished a mighty army by the Will of Allah! And Allah is ˹always˺ with the steadfast.” Quran Al-Baqarah, 2:249 17:25
