Battle of Rovine
The Battle of Rovine took place on 17 May 1395〔Ostrogorsky, George. ''History of the Byzantine State'', p.551. Published by Rutgers University Press, 1969. ISBN 0-8135-1198-4.〕 between the Wallachian army led by Voivod Mircea cel Bătrân (Mircea ''the Elder'') against the Ottoman invasion led by sultan Bayezid I. The Ottoman army faced a much smaller Wallachian army. Legend says that on the eve of the battle, dressed as a peace emissary, Mircea cel Bătrân talked to Bayezid I asking him to leave Wallachia, and promising to grant him safe passage. However, the sultan insisted on fighting.
== The battle ==
The battle took place near the Argeș River.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Dan Ioan Mureşan )〕 However the exact location of the battle is disputed, but the Wallachian victory is confirmed by numerous historians.〔〔〔〔 During the battle the main role was played by the Wallachian archers, who annihilated the Ottoman ranks at the beginning of their attack.〔Cronica bulgară la I. Bogdan, Ein Beitrag zur bulgarischen und serbischen Geschichtschreibung, în Archiv für slavische Philologie, p. 530. In particular, there are mentions of the sun being blocked out by the vast number of arrows the Wallachians fired.〕 Bayazid's vassals Stefan Lazarević and Marko Mrnjavčević, the mightiest of all Serbian feudal lords, also participated in the battle; Stefan showed great courage, Marko died in battle.
Another opinion is that the terrible confrontation lasted not a single day, but an entire week, being first a war of positions. The fierce battle ended with heavy casualties for both sides, at the end each army withdrew from the battlefield. Although Wallachians pushed back the enemy, the Ottomans, however were able to better defend their new backward position relying on the personal guard of the Sultan composed of janissaries. This was the inexpugnable point of the Ottoman defense, applied justly from the next year, in the famous Battle of Nicopolis. This tactical innovation became the fundamental element of the Ottoman art of war until the 18th century. The army of Mircea, sustaining heavy casualties, and in the impossibility to break the defense of Sultan's camp, was finally obliged to withdraw. However, this battle remains one of the most important battles in Romanian history.〔
An epic description of the battle is found in the poem "Scrisoarea a III-a" (''The Third Letter'') written by the Romanian national poet, Mihai Eminescu. The Dečani chronicle mentions this battle and explains that Prince Marko and Constantine Dragaš died in this battle. This chronicle also explains that Marko's brother, Andreja Mrnjavčević, also died in the Battle of Rovine.〔(Successors of the Mrnjavčević family and theritories under their power 1371-1459 ), University of Belgrade, Faculty of Philosophy, PhD thesis of Aleksić Vladimir, page 147〕
