To avenge Turkey’s defeat at Hermannstadt, Ottoman Sultan Murad II sent Governor Sehabeddin of Rumelia into Transylvania with a massive army against the outnumbered Hungarians of Janos Hunyadi. In the Ialomita Valley at Vasaq the Turks suffered an even worse defeat, with a reported 20,000 casualties. They lost again the next year at Nish.
