In 1412, a Knights Tournament was held in [[Buda]], Hungary, this was also a conference between Hungarian King Sigismund, Polish King [[Władysław II Jagiełło|Wladyslaw II]] and Bosnian King [[Tvrtko II of Bosnia|Tvrtko II]]. 2000 knights were present from all over Europe, even England. There were very many princes, lords, knights and servants at the court of Buda in Hungary. Three kings and three other monarchs, a Serbian [[Despot (court title)|despot]], 13 herzogs and/or dukes, 21 counts, 2000 knights, 1 cardinal, 1 legate, 3 archbishops, 11 other bishops, 86 players and trumpeters, 17 messengers, and 40,000 horses. There were people from 17 countries and languages. A presumably contemporary list of the participants of the meeting has also survived. Besides the host, Sigismund, and his main guest, Władysław II, this text mentions Władysław's cousin [[Vytautas]], [[Grand Duke of Lithuania]], and the king of Bosnia, usually identified as Tvrtko II. Some argue convincingly that it was not Tvrtko II but [[Stjepan Ostoja]] who visited Buda at that time. Besides the king, [[Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić]], [[Sandalj Hranić Kosača]] and [[Pavle Radinović]] also came from Bosnia, and from [[Serbian Despotate|Serbia]], the Despot [[Stefan Lazarević]], bringing two thousand horses. From Austria, dukes [[Ernest the Iron|Ernest (the Iron)]] and [[Albert II of Germany|Albert II]], later successor of Sigismund, also took part in the Buda meeting. Also [[Heinrich von Plauen]]. the [[Grand Master of the Teutonic Order|Grand Master]] of the [[Teutonic Order]], [[Stibor of Stiboricz]], [[Nikola II Gorjanski]], [[Hermann II, Count of Celje]] and his son [[Frederick II, Count of Celje|Frederick II]], count of [[Krbava]]—Karlo Kurjaković, Ivan Morović-ban of [[Mačva|Machva]]. Długosz reports the arrival in Buda of the envoys of the [[Jalal al-Din Khan ibn Tokhtamysh|Jalal al-Din]], khan of the [[Golden Horde]] and son of [[Tokhtamysh]], who wanted to meet Władysław II of Poland. Jalal al-Din was an ally of the Polish and Lithuanian rulers in their fight against the [[Teutonic Order]], and according to some reconstructions of the events, Sigismund also wanted to rely on the Tatars against the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] threat. A narrative source from [[Lübeck]] also mentions the proceedings in Buda in 1412. Detmar's Lübeckische Chronik continued from 1400 to 1413. The continuation also gives a detailed description of the participants at the Buda meeting. The royal meeting was accompanied by festivities and various entertainments. At the tournament, a knight from [[Silesian Voivodeship|Silesia]] named Nemsche and a page from Austria won the joust. A Polish priest and chronicler [[Jan Długosz]] says in his ''Annales seu cronici incliti regni Poloniae'' that in the tournament there were also knights from Bulgaria, probably from the court of prince [[Fruzhin]], Sigismund's [[Vassal|vasal]] who also was at the conference.
