The Battle of Kosovo (fragment) Photoshop January 2009
The Battle of Kosovo (Serbian: Kosovski boj, or Boj na Kosovu; Turkish: Kosova Meydan Muharebesi) was fought on St Vitus' Day (celebrated on June 15 according to the Julian calendar, June 28 by the Gregorian calendar) between the Serbian Empire and her allies and the Ottoman Empire, in a field about 5 kilometers northwest of Pristina.
Reliable historical accounts of the battle are scarce. However a critical comparison with historically contemporaneous battles (such as the Battle of Angora or Nikopolis) enable reliable reconstruction.
