Ottoman Sultan Murad I captured southern Bulgaria with victory at the Maritza (1371) and later marched against Lazar I of Serbia, who was aided by Bosnia and Albania. Murad was assassinated during battle at Kossovo, but his son Bayazid won a decisive victory, virtually securing the Balkans. Bayazid executed Lazar and defeated a Crusader army in 1396 at Nicopolis.
