The invasion of the Ottoman Empire from …

Years: 1473 - 1473

The invasion of the Ottoman Empire from the east by Uzun Hasan of Ak Koyunlu had caused a great crisis in the empire, and although he is defeated the following year, this unexpected event encourages Venice and Hungary to renew their war on the Ottomans, and Moldavia to free herself from any Ottoman influence.

In 1473, Stephen stops paying the annual tribute to the Porte and as a reaction to this, an Italian letter, dated from 1473 to Bartolomeo Scala, secretary of the Republic of Florence, reveals that Mehmed had left Constantinople on April 13 and is planning to invade Moldavia from land and sea.
