Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to outline one stage of the Hungarian-Ottoman battles in the area of Posavlje, in which Serbian warriors played their role. In addition, our intention was to make the reconstruction as detailed as possible, using the most important Western and Hungarian diplomatic and narrative sources along with relevant literature in Serbian and Hungarian languages. Among the sources, we placed a particular emphasis on the epic about the siege of the city in the Hungarian language, which is also one of the oldest works of this kind among the Hungarians and has so far not received adequate attention in Serbian historiography.
