The Battle of Velbazhd is a battle which took place between Bulgarian and Serbian armies on 28 July 1330, near the town of Velbazhd. The growing power of the Serbian Kingdom from the late 13th century raised serious concerns in the traditional Balkan powers Bulgaria and Byzantium which agreed for joint military actions against Serbia in 1327. Three years later the bulk of the Bulgarian and Serbian armies clashed at Velbazhd and the Bulgarians were caught by surprise.

  • The Battle of Velbazhd is a battle which took place between Bulgarian and Serbian armies on 28 July 1330, near the town of Velbazhd. The growing power of the Serbian Kingdom from the late 13th century raised serious concerns in the traditional Balkan powers Bulgaria and Byzantium which agreed for joint military actions against Serbia in 1327. Three years later the bulk of the Bulgarian and Serbian armies clashed at Velbazhd and the Bulgarians were caught by surprise. Serbian victory shaped the balance of power in Balkans in the next two decades. The Bulgarians did not lose territory after the battle but were unable to stop the Serbian advance towards Macedonia. Serbia managed to conquer Macedonia and parts of Thessaly and Epirus reaching its greatest territorial extent ever. Their new King Stefan Dušan was crowned Emperor with Bulgarian help in 1346. However, after Dušan's death in 1355 his Empire disintegrated as did Bulgaria after the death of Ivan Alexander in 1371 and both states were subsequently destroyed by the Ottoman Turks.
  • Die Schlacht bei Welbaschd 1330, in welcher das Heer Serbiens die Truppen Bulgariens vernichtend schlug, markiert den Durchbruch Serbiens zur Vormachtstellung auf der Balkanhalbinsel im 14. Jahrhundert ebenso, wie den damit einsetzenden Verfall von Bulgarien und Byzanz, welcher schließlich dazu führte, dass beide Reiche (wie später auch Serbien selbst) in die Hände der Osmanen gelangten und damit der Grundstein für die jahrhundertelange osmanische Herrschaft in Südosteuropa gelegt wurde. Die Herrscherdynastie der Palaiologen (1261-1453) konnte die vormals beherrschende Stellung von Byzanz im westlichen Teil der Balkanhalbinsel nie zurückgewinnen, sondern musste sie den Serben überlassen. Nachdem 1282 Stefan Uroš II. Milutin (1282-1321) das heutige Nordmazedonien von Byzanz erobert hatte, dehnte er seinen Einfluss auf Bosnien und an die albanische Adriaküste aus. Geordnete Verwaltung und die systematische Hebung der Wirtschaftskraft seines Reichs kennzeichnen seine lange Regierungszeit. Die Erschließung reicher Bodenschätze (Gold, Silber, Blei, Kupfer, Eisen) bot die wirtschaftliche Voraussetzung für den glanzvollen Aufstieg Serbiens im 14. Jahrhundert. Bulgarien und Byzanz, welches in Kleinasien von den vorrückenden Osmanen bedrängt wurde, wollten sich mit diesem Aufstieg Serbiens nicht abfinden und beschlossen daher gemeinsam vorzugehen. Stefan Uroš III. Dečanski (1321-1331) kam jedoch der Vereinigung der byzantinischen und bulgarischen Truppen zuvor und schlug am 28. Juli 1330 in der Entscheidungsschlacht bei Welbaschd (dem Velebusdus der Antike, heute Kjustendil) das bulgarische Herr vernichtend. Zar Michael III. Schischman fiel in der Schlacht.

  • Bătălia de la Velbužd este o bătălie care a avut loc între armatele sârbe şi bulgare 28 July 1330, lângă oraşul Velbužd. Puterea crescândă a Serbiei la finele secolului al XIII-lea a devenit o ameninţare pentru puterile tradiţionale ale regiunii Balcanilor, Bulgaria şi Bizanţul. Acestea s-au aliat împotriva Regatului Sârb căzând de acord asupra unor acţiunii militare concertate în 1327. Trei ani mai târziu cea mai mare parte a forţelor sârbe şi bulgare se ciocneau la Velbužd, sârbii beneficiind de elementul surprizei. Astfel, prin victoria regatului Sârb, echilibrul puterii în Balcani era schimbat pentru doua decenii. Bulgarii practic nu au pierdut teritorii după bătălie dar s-au regăsit incapabili de a opri expansiunea sârbă spre Macedonia populată la vremea respectivă mai ales de bulgari. Serbia reuşea astfel să cucerească Macedonia dar şi o parte din Thessalia şi Epir atingând astfel apogeul întinderii sale teritoriale. Regele Ştefan Duşan a fost încoronat împărat (în mod paradoxal cu sprijin bulgar) în 1346. La moartea lui Duşan însă, în 1355, Imperiul Sârb s-a dezintegrat, ca şi Bulgaria de altfel la moartea lui Ivan Alexandru în 1371 ambele state fiind ulterior cucerite şi desfiinţate de Imperiul Otoman.
