1399 CE
Ottoman sultan Bayezid, following his spectacular victory over the Western crusaders at the Battle of Nicopolis, has turned his attention to reducing the remaining Christian states in Greece.
This has made allies of Pedro of Achaea and the despot of Morea, Theodore I Palaeilogos.
The Order of St. John is on board, but the Venetian senate refuses to aid the Greeks.
Pedro in 1399 defeats an invading Turkish army.
