Kosovo

Murad did not invent this idea, but his reign gave it institutional weight.

His end came at Kosovo in 1389.

A coalition of Balkan forces, Serbs, Bosnians, Albanians and others, assembled under the Serbian Prince Lazar for what was essentially a last serious attempt to stop the Ottoman advance in Europe.

The battle itself was an Ottoman victory, though a costly one.

Prince Lazar was captured and killed.

The Balkan coalition was broken, but Murad did not live to fully appreciate the outcome.

he was killed that same day according to most accounts by a serbian nobleman named milos obelic who managed to reach the sultan in the aftermath of the fighting and stabbed him the details are disputed and layered with serbian epic tradition but the death itself is not in question Murad I died on the Kosovo field, victorious and murdered in the same afternoon.

His son Bayezid took command immediately, killed his brother to eliminate any rival claim, and pushed forward.
