Years: 1399 - 1399
The Turks had overrun Thessaly and the Peloponnese in 1396, and Emperor Manuel II, after some five years of siege, has entrusted Constantinople to his nephew and embarked (along with a suite of forty people) on what will be a very long trip abroad to seek assistance against the Ottoman Empire from the courts of western Europe.
French King Charles VI, responding to Manuel’s entreaty for aid against the Ottoman besiegers, sends Marshal Boucicaut with six ships carrying twelve hundred men from Aigues-Mortes to Constantinople, where three hundred men under Seigneur Jean de Chateaumorand are to be left to defend the city against Bayezid.
