Yi Seong-gye declares a new dynasty in…

John Nepomucene, vicar general to the archbishop of Prague, opposes the attempts of King Wenceslas IV of Bohemia to create a new bishopric for one of the king's favorites.

When John fails to comply with his wishes, the king has him tortured and drowned in the Vltava (Moldau) River in 1393.

Bayezid smashes the rebels in Bulgaria, taking Turnovo in July 1393, after a three-month siege, and burning the city.

In occupying Bulgaria, he installs direct Ottoman administration for the first time.

Timur's army invades Anjudan, a Nizari Ismaili stronghold situated near the major Shi'i centers of Qumm and Kashan in Iran, in May 1393, crippling the Ismaili village only one year after his assault on the Ismailis in Mazandaran.

The village is prepared for the attack, evidenced by its fortress and a system of underground tunnels.

Undeterred, Timur's soldiers flood the tunnels by cutting into a channel overhead.

Timur's reasons for attacking this village are not yet well-understood.

However, it has been suggested that his religious persuasions and view of himself as an executor of divine will may have contributed to his motivations.

The Persian historian Khwandamir explains that an Ismaili presence was growing more politically powerful in Persian Iraq.

A group of locals in the region was dissatisfied with this and, Khwandamir writes, these locals assembled and brought up their complaint with Timur, possibly provoking his attack on the Ismailis here.

The kingdom of Dai Viet, or Annam, having conquered the kingdom of Champa (central Vietnam) through incessant warfare, has experienced a concurrent decline in royal authority as a series of corrupt and ineffectual Tran rulers proves increasingly powerless in the suppression of rebellious mountain tribes.

In 1394, a disgruntled general, the capable Ho Qui Ly, has the reigning monarch, Tran Nghe Ton, strangled to death and appoints himself regent for the new king, Tran Thuon Tong.

The new Joseon capital is established at Hanseong (Seoul) in 1394.

Envoys from the Ryūkyū Kingdom had been received in 1392 and 1394 and 1397; Siam had sent an envoy in 1393.

In this process of establishing the new dynasty's foreign relations, envoys had been dispatched to Japan, seeking the reestablishment of amicable relations.

The mission is successful; and Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is reported to have been favorably impressed by this initial embassy.

Wenceslas, king of Bohemia and Germany and Holy Roman Emperor, rules mostly from Prague.

In 1390, he had become involved in a civil war with jealous and ambitious Bohemian magnates led by his cousin Jobst (Jossus), Margrave of Moravia, who had taken him prisoner and briefly incarcerates him in Austria in 1393-94.

After his release, Wenceslas virtually ignores Germany to focus his attentions on his Bohemian kingdom, but loses much of his authority there to the magnates, who erect a council to govern the realm.

Bayezid had crossed the River Danube in 1394 to attack Wallachia, ruled at this time by Mircea the Elder.

The Ottomans are superior in number, but on October 10, 1394 (or May 17, 1395), in the Battle of Rovine, on forested and swampy terrain, the Wallachians prevent Bayezid's army from advancing beyond the Danube.

During the fierce battle the main role is played by the Wallachian archers, who annihilate the Ottoman ranks at the beginning of their attack.

Bayazid's vassals Stefan Lazarević and Marko Mrnjavčević, the mightiest of all Serbian feudal lords, also participate in the battle; Stefan shows great courage, Marko dies in battle.

Jaunpur, historically known as Sheeraz-e-Hind, dates from 1359, when the city was founded by the Sultan of Delhi, Feroz Shah Tughlaq, and named in memory of his cousin, Muhammad bin Tughluq, whose given name was Jauna Khan.

In 1388, Feroz Shah Tughlaq had appointed Malik Sarwar, a eunuch, who is notorious for having been the lover of Feroz Shah Tughlaq's daughter, as the governor of the region.

The Sultanate is in disarray because of factional fighting, and in 1393 Malik Sarwar declares independence.

He and his adopted son Mubarak Shah found what will come to be known as the Sharqi dynasty (dynasty of the East).

During the Sharqi period, the Jaunpur Sultanate will be a strong military power in North India, and on several occasions will threaten the Delhi Sultanate.

Dabiša will spend the rest of his reign quarreling with the Hungarian King Sigismund and the King of Naples Ladislaus for control over Croatia and Dalmatia.

King Ladislaus manages to win the Vukčić family to his side.

Vuk Vukčić, Dabiša's Ban, takes Ostrovica and Vrana from Ivaniš Paližna.

Dabiša desires to put Zadar under his supreme rule, but Vuk works for Ladislaus.

Hrvoje Vukčić recognizes Dabiša's supreme rule, stating that he will serve him as long as he breathes, after which he will serve the Hungarian King Sigismund.

At the beginning of 1394, the nobility under Ivaniš Horvat, a subject of Ladislaus, refuses to serve King Dabiša.

Dabiša dispatches Prince Ivan Radivojević to take Omiš from Horvat as a punishment.

The Hungarian King Sigismund moves to destroy both Horvat and Dabiša.

The Hungarian Army besieges and burns to the ground Dobor in the lower stream of Bosna.

Dabiša arrives here, recognizes King Sigismund's suzerainty and gives up Dalmatia and Croatia in his name.

In turn, the Hungarian King nominates him Prince of the Szomod Principality.

King Stephen Dabiša dies of an illness on September 8, 1395 and King Sigismund takes control over most of Bosnia, but the Bosnian Rusag elects Dabiša’s wife and consort, Jelena Gruba, to ascend the throne as queen regnant.

The Swiss victory at Nafels results in a truce with Austria, during which the confederation improves its military organization.

In 1394, the Austrians sign a twenty-year peace with Zurich and abandon rights in Lucerne, Zug, and Glarus (the last had joined the confederation after the Battle of Nafels).
