BATTLE OF PLOCNIK

The 'Battle of Plocnik' was fought on the Bosnian-Serb border in 1388. The Ottoman Empire had been taking control of Europe coming into the battle, however, the Battle of Plocnik slowed down the empire's conquest. A force of Serbs, Bosnian Serbs, and Bulgarians combined to defeat the Ottoman attackers under the self-proclaimed Sultan Murad the 1st and Bayezid (his son). The most famous Serbian knight of the period, Milos Obilic, was wounded by an arrow in the battle.
