Hunyadi led a Hungarian army into Serbia to confront the Ottomans at Kosovo Polje. After three days of fighting, the Hungarian forces were defeated by Sultan Murad II. The loss ended major crusading efforts in the Balkans for decades.

Hunyadi, with the help of Franciscan friar John of Capistrano, led a relief force to break the Ottoman siege of Belgrade. The Hungarian victory forced Sultan Mehmed II to retreat, halting Ottoman expansion into Hungary for 70 years. Hunyadi died of plague shortly after.

Li Keyong was appointed Prince of Jin by the Tang court for his role in suppressing the Huang Chao rebellion. He established a power base in Shanxi and became a major warlord during the late Tang period.

Li Keyong died of illness. His son Li Cunxu succeeded him and later founded the Later Tang dynasty, fulfilling Li Keyong's ambition to restore Tang rule.
