A problematic article bordering on WP:HOAX. It is very possible that this supposed battle and the Battle of Maritsa were one and the same since the Battle of Maritsa was also called "sırp sındığı" and both battles took place...on the Maritsa river. I propose this article be deleted and an explanation of the historical confusion and ambiguity be written up in the Background section of Battle of Maritsa.

Merge anything useful into Battle of Maritsa, though much of what is on this page is unreferenced.Mztourist (talk) 03:01, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Make clear this supposed battle is recorded only in the Ottoman sources and contradicts Hungarian, Serbian, papal and other European sources. Not because this battle really happened but because we will finish with the edit war on the article about the Battle of Maritsa. Sooner or later, some enthusiastic editors will change that article to accommodate this joke.

The problem is that few contemporary historians took information about this battle from the Ottoman sources. They never checked other sources. There is no way for king Louis I of Hungary to meet Emperor Charles in Bohemia, assemble the army, march to battle, lost it and go to Poland in September to discuss a crusade with other European rulers. There is no way that Bosnian heretics and Serbian schismatics march as crusaders. Only somebody who has no clue about the medieval Europe may think it is possible for an apostolic king of Hungary to be under command of a schismatic landlord. In 1364, Vukashin was not a king and co-ruler of Serbia, he was just a landlord with a title of prince or perhaps a despot.N Jordan (talk) 05:43, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
