Crusade CRUSHED – Battle of Nicopolis (1396) Ends the Cross

The Battle of Nicopolis—where Europe’s last crusade shattered under Ottoman steel. In 1396, the proud armies of Christian Europe gathered on the Danube to crush the rising Ottoman Empire. Led by King Sigismund of Hungary, and the fiery French vanguard of John of Nevers and Boucicaut, the crusaders believed glory alone could win the day. Facing them was Bayezid I “the Thunderbolt”, whose discipline and speed turned the plains of Nicopolis into a slaughterhouse. When the French knights charged into hidden stakes, archers, and Janissaries, the field became a graveyard of banners and pride. The Serbian contingent under Stefan Lazarević smashed the crusader flank; Hungarian reserves broke and fled. Thousands were captured, ransomed—or executed before the Sultan’s gaze. The Cross itself crumbled that day, and medieval chivalry died beside it. Nicopolis was more than defeat—it was transformation. The dawn of professional warfare, and the end of blind valor.
