In the Battle of Niš (Battle of Nissa , Battle of Niš) (November 28, 1443), near today Niš, Serbia, the Turks were completely routed by the Serbs and Hungarians under Hunyadi, who crossed the Balkans in pursuit.

Murad II signed a treaty for ten years, and abdicated in favor of his son Mehmed II. When the peace was broken the next year, Murad returned to the Balkans and won the Battle of Varna.^[1]

In this battle, George Kastrioti Skanderbeg deserted the Ottoman army along with 300 other Albanians and started a twenty-five year long Albanian rebellion against the Ottoman Empire.
