The war between Hungary and the Ottoman…

The war between Hungary and the Ottoman empire has dissolved into skirmishes.

Bayezid rounds off the empire south of the Danube and Sava by taking Herzegovina in 1483, leaving only Belgrade outside direct Ottoman control.

Bogomilism had been eradicated in Bulgaria and Byzantium in the thirteenth century, but had survived in Bosnia and Herzegovina until the Ottoman Empire gained control of the region in 1463.

Many Orthodox and Roman Catholics have fled, while Bogomil nobles, formerly persecuted as heretics by both Catholic and Orthodox Christians, have converted to Islam to retain their land and feudal privileges.

They form the nucleus of a unique Slavic Muslim aristocracy that will exploit its Christian and Muslim serfs for centuries and eventually grow fanatical and conservative.
