Nicopolis 1396 by David Nicolle

Nicopolis 1396 by David Nicolle

In response to Sultan Bayazid I's besieging of Constantinople in 1391, the last home of the once great Byzantine Empire, Pope Boniface IX preached a Crusade. A French-led army of 10,000 marched to the city but met their match against the Sultan's cavalry. This volume describes the battle.
