First, If we re talking about same “heavily armored soldiers of Eastern Europe” they were actually West European-style heavy cavalry/knights.
Second, that West European-style heavy cavalier/knight I am talking about is Serbian Despot Stefan Lazarevic, the first knight of The Order of the Dragon, same order whose member earlier killed sultan Murad I.
Third, he fought in Battle of Angora (as well as in several other battles) on the right wing of sultan Beyazid I, where he
1) Routed Tamerlan’s light cavalry on the left wing
2) Pushed back Tamerlan’s heavy cavalry on left wing
3) Finally stopped by Tamerlan’s reserve consisted of heavy cavalry
4) Assaulted thrice the ring of the Tamerlan’s most experienced heavy cavalry at the center that encircled Beyazid and Janissaries
5) Left battlefield with remaining troops
