Years: 1470 - 1470

Moldavia and its prince, Stephen III, are the Romanian principalities' last hope of repelling the Ottoman menace.

In order to secure his southern frontier from Ottoman threats, Stephen wants to liberate Wallachia—where the hostile Radu the Handsome, the half-brother of the imprisoned Vlad Țepeș rules—from Ottoman dominion.

In 1470, he invades the country and burns down the town of Brăila.
