#OTD in 1395: Battle of Rovine: A heavily outnumbered Christain Wallachian army led by Voivod Mircea the Elder defeated an invading Muslim #Ottoman army led by Bayezid I the Thunderbolt.
The night before the battle Mircea asked Bayezid to leave and offered him safe passage. Bayezid refused and insisted on battle, confident his army would win.
