Sigismund said of the French: "If only they had listened to me. We had men in plenty to fight our enemies." In the late afternoon Stefan Lazarevic led the charge of the Ottoman left wing and encircled the undefended wings of Sigismund's troops.
Bayezid and his vassal and brother-in-law Stefan Visoki immediately recognized the well known mask of another brother-in-law, Nikola II Gorjanski, fighting on Sigismund's side.
Those who escaped eventually returned home, although many were impoverished on the way; Sigismund himself was allowed to escape with Nikola Gorjanski and Hermann of Cilli, and he took the sea route home through the Black Sea, the Aegean, and the Mediterranean, suspecting the Wallachians of treachery.
