According to a royal decree of 1428, Louis I had also ordered that only Catholics be granted land in the Sebeş district of Timiş county. As a result of official pressure, many Romanian noblemen converted to Catholicism. For example, the members of the powerful Drágffy family turned Catholic in the 15th century. The Ottomans raided Transylvania for the first time in 1394. Sigismund I of Hungary (1387–1437) organized a crusade against them, but the battle of Nicopolis (now Nikopol, Bulgaria) ended in disaster for the Christian forces in 1396.
