I don't care who you are, not running when elephants are coming against you at full force is the pinnacle of courage.
-
Despite the defeat of the Ottoman army, I was amazed by the loyalty and strength of Stefan Lazarević's cavalry unit. Additionally, Stefan managed to escape during the route and left the battle with honor and his life.
-
One of most interesting battles I have ever seen, competent leaders, loyalists and traitors, incredible tactical minds on the battlefield, thrilling actions and an epic end to an epic battle. This battle has it all. HM never disappoint in delivering history in epic ways
-
the battle really does flow like 2 experienced & competent armies trading back and forth
-
This war is also known as the "Battle of the Blind and the Lame". The reason is that Beyazıt has poor vision in one eye and Timur has a lame leg. According to a rumor, after the war, Timur laughed and said to Beyazıt: "The whole world is left with a blind man and a lame person!"
-
Damn. Might be the most metal battle in history. Serbians are steamrolling everyone, janissaries holding up against charging elephants and actually defeating them, traitors geting slaughtered by sipahis, the sultan refusing to escape and fighting until the end.
-
Dude, what a masterpiece content. And also huge respect for the Serbian contingents, even when our brethren betrayed us they didn't.
-
One of the greatest history videos ever uploaded to this site.
-
This was a fantastic episode. It's rare for two opposing armies and commanders to be so evenly matched. There were multiple occasions that "should" have led to the Ottoman collapse but didn't. The use of reserves was optimal on both sides. Soldiers refused to break. Simply fascinating.
-
I’m genuinely impressed. This is an even greater achievement when you consider this battle has already been covered by a certain other channel three times, one of which was just a few months ago. In total I think there are 4 other versions of this, yet you still managed to outdo everyone else. I absolutely love this video, excellent work.

Battle of Ankara (1402) PROLONGED the existence of Christian Balkan states, including Byzantine Empire, for another half a century !!!
-
While my country considers Timur as national hero. I cannot deny the fact he was ruthless and harsh and as your are saying 'prince of destruction'. Indeed, it was brutal clash of two great conquers
-
That battle must have been terrifying.
-
The units switching sides mid-battle made this one of the most interesting ones by far
-
Luck was against the thunderbolt in the battle of Ankara , with so many defections and an unfavourable battlefield . But still Bayezid gave hell to Timur . One of the greatest heavyweight fights in medieval history .
-
Saturday morning here with a History Marche video to watch
-
Great video, as always. Stefan Lazarević is one of the most fascinating figures of serbian medieval history, so thanks for shedding some light on this topic!
-
I'm always a fan of all these medieval and ancient battles..Thanks History Marche😊
-
Through the whole battle I couldn't tell who was going to win, going back and forward, completely riveting, excellent narration.
