victory. With the fall of its capital, the <a href="/wiki/Second_Bulgarian_Empire" title="Second Bulgarian Empire">Bulgarian Empire</a> was reduced to a few fortresses along the <a href="/wiki/Danube" title="Danube">Danube</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Origins_of_the_conflict">Origins of the conflict</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Siege_of_Tarnovo&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Origins of the conflict"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Tarnovo exceeded all <a href="/wiki/Bulgaria" title="Bulgaria">Bulgarian</a> towns by its size, its treasures, and its partly natural, partly artificial fortifications. Therefore, the <a href="/wiki/Ottoman_Empire" title="Ottoman Empire">Turks</a> attacked this area of <a href="/wiki/Bulgaria" title="Bulgaria">Bulgaria</a> first. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_battle">The battle</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Siege_of_Tarnovo&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: The battle"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the spring of 1393, <a href="/wiki/Bayazid_I" class="mw-redirect" title="Bayazid I">Bayazid I</a> gathered his troops from <a href="/wiki/Asia_Minor" class="mw-redirect" title="Asia Minor">Asia Minor</a>, crossed the <a href="/wiki/Dardanelles" title="Dardanelles">Dardanelles</a>, and joined with his western army, which likely included some <a href="/wiki/Christians" title="Christians">Christian</a> rulers from <a href="/wiki/Macedonia_(region)" title="Macedonia (region)">Macedonia</a>. He entrusted the main command to his son <a href="/wiki/S%C3%BCleyman_%C3%87elebi" title="Süleyman Çelebi">Celebi</a>, and ordered him to depart for Tarnovo. Suddenly, the town was besieged from all sides. The Turks threatened the citizens with fire and death if they did not surrender. </p><p>The population resisted but eventually surrendered after a three-month siege, following an attack from the direction of <a href="/wiki/Tsarevets_(fortress)" title="Tsarevets (fortress)">Tsarevets</a>, on July 17, 1393. The Patriarch's church "Ascension of Christ" was turned into a mosque, the rest of the churches were also turned into mosques, baths, or stables. All palaces and churches of <a href="/wiki/Trapezitsa_(fortress)" title="Trapezitsa (fortress)">Trapezitsa</a> were burned down and destroyed. The same fate was expected for the tzar palaces of Tsarevets; however, parts of their walls and towers were left standing until the 17th century. </p><p>In the absence of <a href="/wiki/Tsar" title="Tsar">Tsar</a> <a href="/wiki/Ivan_Shishman_of_Bulgaria" title="Ivan Shishman of Bulgaria">Ivan Shishman</a>, who attempted to fight the Turks elsewhere, leading the remnants of his troops to the fortress of <a href="/wiki/Nikopol,_Bulgaria" title="Nikopol, Bulgaria">Nikopol</a>, the main Bulgarian leader in the town was <a href="/wiki/Patriarch_Evtimiy_of_Bulgaria" class="mw-redirect" title="Patriarch Evtimiy of Bulgaria">Patriarch Evtimiy</a>. He went to the Turkish camp with the intention of assuaging the Turkish commander, who listened politely to his pleas, but afterwards fulfilled very little of his promises. After a fierce battle, the town was captured by the Turks under Celebi. </p><p>Celebi left the town after appointing a local commander. The new governor gathered all eminent citizens and boyars under a pretense and had them all killed. According to legend, Evtimiy was sentenced to death but saved at the last minute by a miracle. After leaving behind a Turkish commander to govern the town, Celebi left and joined up his army with the main army led by his father <a href="/wiki/Bayazid_I" class="mw-redirect" title="Bayazid I">Bayazid I</a> and they went on to capture the fortress of <a href="/wiki/Nikopol,_Bulgaria" title="Nikopol, Bulgaria">Nikopol</a>. This rapid success by the Turks led a great deal of panic throughout the rest of <a href="/wiki/Europe" title="Europe">Europe</a> and the Pope called for a <a href="/wiki/Crusade" class="mw-redirect" title="Crusade">Crusade</a>. This Crusade would be fought at Nikopol three years later in the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Nicopolis" title="Battle of Nicopolis">Battle of Nicopolis</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Aftermath">Aftermath</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Siege_of_Tarnovo&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Aftermath"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Later, the city's leading citizens were sent into exile in <a href="/wiki/Asia_Minor" class="mw-redirect" title="Asia Minor">Asia Minor</a>, where their historical traces are lost. The patriarch was sent into exile in Thrace. He died in exile and was later hailed as a national saint of his people. </p><p>The citizens of Tarnovo that remained in the town saw what was described by contemporary sources as a "complete devastation of the town". Turkish colonists occupied Tsarevets which from then on was called Hisar. The disciples of Evtimiy dispersed to Russia and Serbia, taking with them Bulgarian books, in the same way as the Greek learned men enriched the West with the old classics. Many merchants and boyars converted to Islam. The famous <a href="/wiki/Holy_Forty_Martyrs_Church,_Veliko_Tarnovo" title="Holy Forty Martyrs Church, Veliko Tarnovo">church of the Holy Forty Martyrs</a>, built by <a href="/wiki/Ivan_Asen_II_of_Bulgaria" class="mw-redirect" title="Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria">Ivan Asen II</a>, somewhat damaged after the battle, was turned into a mosque. </p><p>The fall of Tarnovo and the exile of Patriarch Evtimiy mark the destruction of the <a href="/wiki/Bulgarian_Orthodox_Church" title="Bulgarian Orthodox Church">Bulgarian Orthodox Church</a>. As early as August 1394, the <a href="/wiki/Ecumenical_Patriarch_of_Constantinople" title="Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople">Patriarch of Constantinople</a> appointed the Moldovan <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_bishop" title="Metropolitan bishop">metropolitan bishop</a> to carry the episcopal symbols in Tarnovo, where he came the following year. In 1402, Tarnovo had its own <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_bishop" title="Metropolitan bishop">metropolitan</a>, subjected to the Byzantine patriarch. Thus, the Bulgarian state fell under Turkish rule while the Bulgarian church fell under Greek rule. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Siege_of_Tarnovo&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <dl><dd><i>This article incorporates text from K.
