	Hunyadi János törökellenes harcai
		Hunyadi gyorsan nyomul elôre az Al-Duna vonalán, néhány erôdöt visszafoglal (Nikápoly), de eléggé megkésve érkezik a Fekete- tengerhez, az ígértnél kevesebb velencei gálya nem tudja megakadályozni a török csapatáthajózásokat, ráadásul állítólag a genovai gályák a törököket segítették, természetesen nem ingyen.
		A fejetlenségen Hunyadi sem tud úrrá lenni, a csatát a törökök a javukra tudják fordítani.
		Hunyadi megmutatta, hogy a törököket egy lényegesen kisebb létszámú sereg is sikeresen meg tudja állítani, valamint 70 évig elvette a török kedvét Magyarország megtámadásától.
