    Keeping with the Japanese tradition

    Yes it is Okehazama, particularly the death of Yoshimoto.

    Japanese history is awesome, although I'll admit it is pretty dull (or there are a lack of sources, either or) before the Gempei wars.

    Someone rep Attalus for me?

    Battle of Mohi? Those are Hungarians.

    Its not Mohi even though the Hungarians and Teutonic Order were allied.. this is from the late 14th century, the armor, the guns..
    The Mongols at question look more like Tatars/Kypchaks/Golden Horde..


    Battle of the Vorskla River


    Maybe the Hungarians are actually Lithuanians? They used the Double Cross as well.

    This one might be tough- Requires thinking outside the box or a doctorate in art-history:

    Looks like Mongols in Europe. I say battle of Legnica in Poland. I remember reading that the Mongols would cut off one ear off of each dead European soldier in the battle to count the number of people they had killed and they got something like 9 or 10 bags full of them supposedly.

    Plus I can see the famous historical towers of Legnica in the background (I think):

    King_Porus, great observations. You're right. The artist (Matthäus Merian) styled the Mongols to that of the Ottomans, note the Deli cavalry.

    If no one gets it in 24 hours I'll post a hint, but I'm sure someone here will figure it out.
