The Second Battle of Kosovo (Hungarian: masodik rigomezei csata, Turkish: kinci Kosova sava ) (October 17-October 20, 1448) was fought at Kosovo Polje between a coalition of the Kingdom of Hungary and Wallachia lead by John Hunyadi, against an Ottoman-led coalition under Sultan Murad II. At 1448, John Hunyadi saw the right moment to lead a campaign against the Ottoman Empire. After the Defeat of Varna (1444), he raised another army to attack Ottomans. His strategy was based on an expected revolt of the Balkan people, a surprise attack, and destroying the main force of the Ottomans in a single battle. Hunyadi was totally immodest and led his forces without leaving any escort behind.
