In 1396, the greatest knights of Europe charged into what they thought would be one last glorious crusade—and rode straight into an Ottoman trap. At Nicopolis, shining French and Hungarian cavalry met stakes, Janissaries, and a ruthless sultan who turned their chivalry into a massacre.
This episode plunges you into the final great crusading disaster on the Danube, from the long decline of the Crusades to King Sigismund’s desperate call for help against Ottoman expansion. You’ll see how glittering French and Burgundian nobles treated the campaign like a tournament, clashing with hardened Hungarian and Balkan veterans who understood the real Ottoman threat. We follow Sultan Bayezid “the Thunderbolt” as he builds a disciplined war machine, lures the crusaders into a prepared killing ground, and shatters their vanguard in a storm of stakes, arrows, and cavalry. Finally, we trace the rout to the river, the fate of the prisoners, and the shock that rippled through Europe, marking Nicopolis as not just a lost battle—but the funeral of medieval chivalry and the beginning of a new age of war.
