To avenge Christian defeat at Varna in November 1444, Hungarian Regent Janos Hunyadi invaded Serbia in the last major attempt to recover the Balkans from Sultan Murad II. Without waiting for support from George Kastriote Skanderbeg of Albania, Hunyadi was defeated in a bloody battle at Kossovo after his Wallachians deserted. Constantinople fell five years later.
