…Philippopolis and to exact tribute from the emperor.
The initial Thracian conquests place the Ottomans strategically astride all of the major overland communication routes linking Constantinople to the Balkans’ frontiers, facilitating their expanded military operations.
In addition, control of the highways in Thrace isolate the diminished Empire from direct overland contact with any of its potential allies in the Balkans or in Western Europe.
Emperor John V is forced to sign an unfavorable treaty with Orhan in 1356 that recognizes his Thracian losses.
