Battle of Pelekanon: Ottomans defeat Byzantium in the field
1329
Emperor Andronikos III marched out to relieve Nicaea and met Orhan's forces at Pelekanon. The Byzantine army was routed, the emperor wounded, and Nicaea fell shortly after. It was the last time a Byzantine emperor would take the field against the Ottomans. Henceforth Constantinople could only watch its Anatolian provinces shrink.
