"Our people never fell to their knees, fought he fought whenever he needed it

to protect our nation's existence.

Statue of Stefan cel Mare the struggle of our people "

Nicolae Ceauşescu,

Europe XV. century of

it was fearful that the country was exposed to one another Turkish attack.

II. Sultan Mehmed is the commander of one the most powerful army in the world,

which occupied Constantinople in 1453, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire.

He captured the Byzantine Emperor's throne. Mehmed sent his hordes,

the fleas and the janissaries to Asia and Europe.

At the Trapezunt Imperial, on the islands of the Mediterranean, Greece, Serbia,

They went through fire and iron in Bosnia and Albania.

However, as aggressively have gone all over the continent, in more and more places

brave warlords and rulers, carefully protected nationally

their existence and the independence of their country.

Among them is world history local pride of Stefan cel Mare (István Nagy),

Prince of Moldavia, that is the state of Romania, which is

along the Danube, the Black Sea and the To the Carpathians.

We express our gratitude to all organizations, institutions and individuals who supported it

the realization of this film.

The Great Persian Saheeh Ambassador to Uzun Hasan!

"Hasan, son of Ali, was born of the Ottoman Empire, the great and the gracious

ruler and country, Stefan Vajdah, and he sends the whole greetings of Moldavia

with sincere heart.

Isak Béget was sent by the wise Christian princes to his yard, ... "

We will listen to Uzun Hasan Persian sah Ambassador of the United States,

before the Council of countries.

Great Lady, Despina Theodore Trapezunti

the great Uzun Hasan's happy wife

you will send this letter to you.

Thank you for bringing me this letter.

I would like to know, my cousin is in good health?

Merciful Theodore is healthy,

but he is very concerned about the serious fights, what your husband should focus on

II. Against Mehmed.

Your Majesty, I've brought an effective drug his quick leg.

Thank you, Dr. Isak.

Now tell me what the purpose of your mission?

Your Honor,

his great lord calls him again in battle in the western part of the country.

Now is the time to defeat Mehmed, when several bleeds bleed in Asia,

he only loses his wounds and does not know, how to replenish his diminished army.

Is it possible when we defeated Mehmed under our agreement,

to go out to another Romanian country from the sultan's karma?

It is known that you have deprived him of his throne Mehmed's friend, Radu cel Frumos

and his family was taken hostage.

If every prince understands the purpose of your sovereignty,

Mehmed's star escapes forever.

My mission is, my friend Isak, to fight against all,

in defending this country and its people,

even as other Romanian vajdas did in front of me.

However, let's not forget, thank you the Almighty and all those with swords

they resist Mehmed Sultan in their hands.

The other princes think differently.

They fall apart each other.

But it seems they still feel, a threat to the Ottoman hordes because

promises were promised.

Ma'am ....

Did you get a good news from Despina Teodora?

Good as always, Your Majesty.

My cousin also enjoys love her spouse.

Great Uzun Hassan fulfills all his wishes.

Do you mind me, ma'am?

You know very well that I'm not a Persian sah.

No, sir. But I'm not talking about gifts.

Then what?

Do not I satisfy all your Majesty's demands?

Tell me, I'm listening.

Sir, I want you, if he would remove the ladies of Radu Vajda's family out of our yard,

who were brought from Wallachia.

Hostages would have a place in a castle.

Or in a monastery, well guarded, as Moldovan enemies must be.

But, madam, Wallachia is not our enemy.

They are Romanians like us.

My mother, the late Oltea lady, and I'm also Wallachia.

Then why are you in war with Wallachia?

Only the rogue Radu butterfly, unokaöcsénk,

who serves Mehmed, to attack the neighboring fraternal country

and to throne the throne of Bucharest, Vlad Tepest, who fights with us

against the Turks.

But to me, these two women have nothing to do with me.

Whatever the other boyars say.

What are they saying?

Your Majesty will know this easily.

Your Majesty, merchants arrived From Braşov (Brasov).

Let me wait.

Send Radu vajda ladies.

I hope, sir, you do not want it present at the arrival of the two women.

I have nothing to do with Mary.

And with her daughter (Maria Voichiţa).

If this is your wish for your Majesty,

we will do everything, Let's introduce the ladies to another place.

But do not forget, they are still my cousins.

I wanted to know if they felt right here in our yard?

We are happy to have your Majesty remembered.

I like it here in Suceava (Suceava).

Some of the boys they are looking at us with an oblique eye.

Do we have to be punished? for our spouse's actions?

Maybe it would be better ... if for a while

we will send you to Hârlău (Harló) In Botoşani (Botosan).

But why should we go to Suceava?

As a hostage, we are subject to every command, Your Majesty.

But, our Lord, should he pay for it for the protection and support of what

you have received this at the time girl from her uncle?

He was like a guest now, when Vlad Tepes, the Wallachian ruler,

Your Majesty's good friend gave you shelter in your yard.

All we ask is your Majesty,

give us some shelter for a while,

as long as our health does not allow, to leave Suceava.

Yes. Here at the beach in the great summer heat it will not be so unpleasant.

But this building looks very poor, to be the home of the world's master.

He is a real ruler, nowhere in the world could not find ...

You know the Venetian doctrine very well and the Roman Pope

they live in much more beautiful palaces.

Perhaps we would do better if we did not spend money here,

but we would go there.

If your sovereign would try to defeat Italy,

to protect the whole Christian world.

Listen to Benedetto Dei.

These are all empty words, Mr Benedetto.

What kind of help can we talk about when my greatest enemy is Christianity.

Antichrist, as you have called,

and you, a Florentine citizen, who sold military information to the Venetian Republic.

Venice is the most adventurous enemy of Florence, Your Majesty.

The artist, Constanzo da Ferarri,

what are you looking for at my yard?

Tell me, Constanzo, who sent you here?

His Majesty Ferdinand Aragon, King of Naples.

Your respect for my ruler and friendship would like to express you

a medallion with an illustrated face of your majesty.

And Suleiman's dog? And Mahmoud Grandmaster?

And you, Georgios Amiruces, and History my philosophy teacher,

he was not noble David Megas's Trapezunt in Komnenos Court?

And my advisers, are not all Christian apostates?

No, sir, I'm a poor Jewish ghetto.

Islam's pride, my famous janitors

both kidnapped Christian children.

No, for you, Christians,

only curse and strife reign.

I want the whole world to be one United Kingdom

with a religion

and a ruler.

Speak to Hans Schwarz, who brought you some The blueprint for the fortified castle of the Duchy of Bavaria,

created by the same Catholic monks.

Nothing from Moldavia?

Great ruler, we got a Moldavian from a boy who flees to the Poles

The fortress of Suceava, the capital of Moldova.

Speak to the Moldavian Boy, Mihu logothete, our old friend.

Petru Aron was the first, who paid taxes from Moldavia to the Turkish Port.

After Stefan had disbanded from the throne, he fled to the Poles.

Come to the big map.

Suleiman has 80,000 armies at Shkodër (Scouts).

After capturing Shkodra, they cross the Adriatic,

with boats to Brindisi

and from there, by Allah, to Rome.

This requires peace on our northern boundaries.

As you will see, it will be indispensable for us Ali's lightweight soldiers.

I will send a delegation to Stefan directly to Suceava.

We demand from him the payment of taxes for the last two years,

Chilia and Cetatea Albă.

Then we will be taken away from the Genoa Caffa (today Feodosia),

And the whole trade It will be in our hands between East and West.

That's all I want from Stefan. For now.

Get a Map of Moldova!

My ruler Stefan kidnapped him and Moldava hurled hostage

Wallachian ruler of the Radu Vajdah's wife and daughter.

He wants to reach our friend Radu, do not support us.

This is only valid if Radu's ladies They stay in Stefan's hands.

But master Hans can get them out of Moldavia.

And as soon as possible.

Mehmed Sultan Ambassador!

I, II. Mehmed, who is II. The son of Muradah, Allah's earthly ruler

the Lord of the World, the human intellect Lord, King of kings

Western and Eastern emperors, I offer peace or war

Stefan, the Moldavian bishop.

Tax is due for the past two years now, what you have to do to me,

as Governor of Wallachia did

as a sign of your friendship, which we expect from you as well.

I command you right away open to me in the coastal fortifications,

Chilia and Cetatea Albă.

We give the same conditions to our neighbors,

like the Roman Pope and the Venetians.

So they can live in peace on this earth.

Otherwise, there will be no compassion for the spring break.

Our anger, the stormy wind, is replaced.

We recognize that the Ottoman Empire is huge.

We recognize that such a small country it seems to be a light prey for the Great Sultan's troops.

We ask His Majesty,

let us live in peace to the world in this corner,

in which our Romanian people are so deeply rooted,

like oaks in the woods.

We do not belong to anyone and never no one is harassed.

But we want to live in good agreement with our neighbors whom God has given us,

and other remote countries.

We are glad to be our followers and merchants they have reached the "High Gate"

as you are now in the court of the Christian Prince.

We do not like war.

But we fought when our borders, threatened the independence of our country.

And if necessary,

we are able to defend ourselves As well as against Constantinople.

My answer will not be heard by Stefan, but you will see it!

Say, Jusuf, what is happening in Moldavia?

How dare you dive in this little prince contradict me,

Conqueror of Constantinople?

Great and mighty Lord,

Stefan's action can not be explained otherwise, like crazy.

Glorious sir,

let your unworthy servant speak, Stefan is not as crazy as it seems.

These are the nations, the Moldavians, the Transylvanians and walnut trees

the legacy of their ancestors, the Dacians and the Romans courage, love of their land

made them in terrible wars during the Among the peoples of the Danube.

These are less armed forces, than the big sultan

you can send it to me.

I'm one of the guys who can break her.

But do not forget brave and loyal Ali,

the aforementioned Danube peoples great leaders

Mircea was,

Tepes was,

we all know it well.

Yes Yes. My experienced history teacher tells the truth.

Be careful.

Our chance of war can lead to Moldova already in the middle of winter.

And honorable Ali knows well that winter warfare is not good for us.

And yet, my lord,

winter can contribute to us one

to build an ice bridge over the Danube.

Our chance is unprepared for Stefan

and we can handle it more easily.

Ali walks wisely.

We send a command to the father of Szulejmán Shkodër, to leave the fort.

But do not worry, we'll be back soon.

Will they send reinforcements to the Moldavian ruler?

the Romans and the Venetians?

So far only promises have been given to Stefan, my great ruler.

We hope these promises are still not fulfilled

and the Venetian gold does not go to Moldavia.

Mara "sultana" is waiting for you.

He is the ruler of II. Mehmed's father the glorious II. Murad's widow. Mara "sultana",

Đurađ (George) daughter of Branković ...

Mara "sultana" has been in agreement for 30 years now strive among us and among Christians.

Glorious sultana, our wise friend and our consultant,

does Venice still seek peace with us?

This means that Saint Sofia, the patron saint of the monastery,

created another miracle with that it was brought to you by my lord, my patron.

Indeed, Venice seems to have decided, peace with Your Majesty.

The Venice Dossier asked me to I appeal to Your Majesty

Ambassador Girolamo Zorzi as soon as possible in Istanbul.

Oh, I'm really sorry, "sultana", but no we have the opportunity to receive the agent of Venice.

Maybe later...

5-6 months later.

I'm sick. Again gout is gossip.

In the meantime I would like to have Venice

to prove my firm resolve for peace.

Like they did not think so?

During this six months, the Venetian Republic

he should leave us quiet,

and should not help our enemies with armies or money.

And to prove our intentions, we subtract our army,

we have recently been surrounded from the Fortress of Shkodër in Venice.

Bless the noble deed, the glorious Lord.

Now I'm sure that help the Venetians promised the Moldavians

empty words remain.

Writes!

To our faithful and worthy servant,

Sulejman Pasha, currently at Shkodër the leader of the fighting Ottoman army.

As you receive our command, swim immediately with his troops on the Danube

In the direction of Sofia.

They will join you at the city

Grana bég and Ali's troops.

Then leave for Moldavia and take it the barbarian unbelieving leader Stefan,

to put yourself in front of our feet.

The winter is in Kamenica (Kosovo) as elsewhere, even on Polish soil.

We are attacking spring Hungary and the Poles,

this command must be fulfilled.

Our teams do not fight in the winter.

Exactly the command of the glorious Sultan.

Yes! Allah gives a long life our glorious sultan.

Cyrus call the commanders!

Tomorrow at dawn we leave the camp.

We're going to Sofia.

Ahmed!

Take the map.

Keep it in standby.

We will put it back in due course.

What is your concern, Manole lynx?

I look at the worried face of your majesty.

Do not refuse a small conversation, as my friend and experienced brother.

I did not forget that my dad, II. After the assassination of Bogdan Vajda,

evacuated from this country a from the hands of murderers,

and served me faithfully and with love during our roaming.

I thank you for my life, my friend.

Your Majesty ...

A heavy burden pushes my soul.

Are we approaching Mehmed?

People will not think that, I'm willing to sacrifice their lives and possessions

merely for the sake of glory, which means only to me, like other princes in the world?

Highness, our people know that Mehmed he wants to yell us,

as he did with other Christian countries along the Danube River.

Do you think people know this?

And they are willing to sacrifice their lives for the independence of their country?

Our ruler, for a moment, have no doubt in the loyalty of his people.

It could be seen that the peasants fought Doljeşti, Orbic, Baia,

Lipid than one.

How many people should die, to their descendants calmly

to live in this area,

to speak the same language,

and live the same habits as their ancestors?

I think that will be understood.

We would like to talk to you with his Majesty.

We wish you good health, Your Majesty's sovereign.

Taste it, Your Majesty, sheep's cheese.

Thank you for the gifts.

Take it, take it, pick it up, Your Majesty.

This cheese is really very delicious.

Then eat good health, Your Majesty, along with his soldiers.

Accept this tall, the dessert for the cream cheese she brought to us.

No, my dear sir.

This is what we have brought to your Majesty as a sign of our love.

If we accept money for it, love is no longer our love.

Think, man. This taller costs more than two oxen.

With prices we are completely aware, sir. I'm not talking about it either.

Our love for your Majesty is worth more than the money.

And if it does, it's not for sale, Your Majesty.

Well, I give up. But can you just need something?

Taxes do not look too big?

Well, we can not call it too small.

But our income is women, since your Majesty is sitting on the throne.

But I just have a request for your Majesty.

Says! Go ahead.

We've heard about it here ... from some merchants,

that your Majesty is preparing a great war against the Gentiles,

who are coming to conquer our land and make us slaves?

You heard it, shepherd.

And what do you think about it?

So it is ... glorious domineering.

As we live here on the Rărău mountain,

we will not let anyone go and we do not even want to have other assets.

But if someone comes to us,

we are angry.

There is an ancient shepherd proverb:

"If the wolf behaves like this, the sheep begin to bite "

Good saying, shepherdess. I like.

But he wanted to ask something.

Accept a good ruler, this gift for your army of sovereignty.

And, if necessary,

you know, Your Majesty, what old bones,

with all of our people we will go to the first call of your Majesty.

I ask the advice,

approve general recruitment in the country,

to resist Sultan Mehmed's forces?

The Sultan demands that we pay tribute,

and we had to demand that we give it through our coastal powers.

If we do not get into it,

the Ottoman troops will soon cross Moldova border.

Great ruler, with heart and soul we are standing by you.

Battlefields and Landowners' Teams and volunteers gathered,

ready for war.

I want the whole country to stand in the war, as my uncle I. during the time of Vladislav.

The state was in battle peasant lands,

the painters, and the townspeople.

Your Majesty,

against the army that defeated him Byzantine Empire

another army can not resist,

even with well-equipped mercenaries.

I trust in the people.

The people of this country stronger than any mercenary force.

We bury them like wind in the dust.

This country will be brave enough to fight, knowing that he is protecting his own.

And do not worry about Mr. Hudici,

we prepare those who are not yet called to make the country real

they serve as warriors.

We must keep in mind, Your Majesty,

that this common people, egy nap talán ellenünk fog fordulni.

Nem kellene okot adnunk ehhez.

There are still many of us among us, But let's not forget, these earthworks,

"They are the salt of the earth."

At some point at a feast I was funny,

saying that the time will come when The Lord God will replace guests in paradise

and there will be no boars there,

And the poor will enjoy the benefits here on Earth.

Majesty,

I suggest that we do not bring the common people from our estates yet.

People are working on the fields now, Until spring, we have nothing to fear.

After fighting fierce fights in Asia Uzun with Hasan,

The Sultan would have a hard time to send us a strong army against us.

Pasha Suleiman, and Rumelia Beglerbég

with his Janissaries and the Spahik is in Albania

Under Shkodër's fort.

Ali Bég's horsemen on our beach.

That's right. So is it ...

Dear Counselor and my loyal servants,

free to leave Moldava without protection for a moment

Now, when our enemy occupied Constantinople?

No, Majesty, no!

In this case, my command:

the whole country should stand in war,

I command all state and landlords peasant

Take a bow, a spear and a sword.

When the time of action comes,

These weapons should not be at hand.

Otherwise, you can pay for it with your life.

Our cousin is Duma Castle Commander

and Bode city passenger

They collect the peasantry of the country.

The great army of the country.

His Majesty at Stefan Vajda's command! His Majesty at Stefan Vajda's command!

Stanciu, the ambassadors were marked?

Majesty, let's send Pascu boyfriend to the Poles.

Pascu Boar, gives you IV. Casimeter to the King of Poland,

If we lose the war against Mehmed, Then he can lose Kamenica's castle.

And if the Ottoman troops occupy Kamenica

The Polish country is open to the Volga Tatars.

I understood, Majesty.

And we send Mihai Spataru to King Matthias.

To this brave Hungarian ruler

Please support us, tie with us A suicide covenant in the name of Christ.

In fact, if he supports Moldavia with troops,

King Matthias also protects his own country.

Let us send a letter Blasius Hungarian (Balázs Magyar)

To Transylvanian Voivodeship,

István Báthory to Count Székely.

Good thought.

Let's also message to the merchants of Brasov,

This would make it possible for our people to they can come right away,

so that we can oppose the Gentiles in time.

We execute exactly, Majesty.

We send it to Venice with an appropriate message and Go to the Pope

The treasurer is Cristea Jder.

Excellent, Majesty.

We ask Bojar Ion Sambl, your Majesty's uncle,

to write this letter in Latin.

Okay.

Let me know all the governors and king,

that their help we ask for

Everyone is for the benefit of

Not just ours.

I could easily agree with the Sultan, to my liking,

But I have this Romanian land I'm a loyal soldier.

And this war we are preparing for, It is for the salvation of our soul.

And let the governors and kings know more,

that above all

our sacred duty

to protect our country's existence and independence, which we govern.

And remember, gentlemen,

Tomorrow after Thursday, come to my daughter's baptism.

We go, of course not.

Master of Manole and Patriarch Nicodemus with his sons.

Did you call them, Stanciu Boyar?

I called, sir.

Our teams still need 200 flags,

already produced by Patriarch Nicodemus workshop,

in the Neamț monastery.

Please do your Majesty, don't forget, When I was Nicoara Jder,

I wore the sword in the wars of your Majesty.

And now, Nicodemus Patriarch,

just as worthy of the pen with which Also serves me.

Say, Father Hieomonk,

so big end the four gospels, By the time I planned,

The Humor Monastery?

Not written so easily, Majesty

Because the flower frame takes a lot of time.

You see, you'll be worth it.

Hope before the start of winter I can show you your Majesty.

Okay.

We had a lot of trouble, but it still gets out of it,

because the Poles are digging some escaped boy.

Hopefully these digging will end.

And the fugitives return to the land of their ancestors.

We've already sent the forgiven letter to Mihu

and his cousin Agapiu Chornogodu.

But they don't react.

Damian Boyar brought us news,

that Mihu Boar betrayed us again.

This time like Sultan Mehmed's spy!

This is the fourth time and we Forgive him over and over again.

Time to delete these two names from our ranks.

And you, do you think I am loyal?

I know Mihu as proud and stubborn boys, Majesty.

I don't think he's back.

I still made a forgiven letter

To Mihu Boar.

Take this to the Poles

Simion

and his brother Damian Jder.

- I understand, Majesty! - I understood!

And you are Manole's mainstairs,

Send my horses to our Iron Camp.

We'll go there soon.

Ionuț Jder will remain a groom.

- Majesty. - Majesty.

I asked you to stay, Ionuț Lovas,

Because I trust a very secret task.

What do I have to do, Majesty?

In the war against unbelievers

There are public, visible preparations,

And there are secrets.

I invented it would be good, If someone would go out of our soldiers

To Mehmed's empire.

As far as I know the Sultan's soldiers He collected it in Rumelia.

I want to know where their movement is directed,

What forces have been collected and who controls them.

I understood perfectly, Majesty.

But above all

I would like to know the secret of their big cannon,

which the Ottoman army carries with him.

What weaponry they cross the mountains and on the water obstacles,

which we do not know yet.

When should I leave, Majesty?

I will explain everything to you.

I trust you.

I go to the end of the world for your Majesty.

With such subjects,

The victory cannot be anywhere other than the side of your Majesty.

Tell me, my friend Stanciu,

Do you think we can defeat Mehmed's army?

My ruler, my destiny, if you bring it, die next to your Majesty in the battle.

That's why I'm curious?

May have doubts, Majesty,

But don't hesitate for a moment.

Our country believes in victory, Majesty.

The people of this country understood, that besides such a ruler as your Majesty

can take any danger in this in the terrible period.

Who does not support

to relax for 2-3 days,

He ruins and loses him.

I hoped we go to Lwów.

Didn't I wait for the lady so far?

Do what you want,

But at least look at how weak, he fell.

I've already seen it.

If we have to stay, we will stay.

But find out, my mother, if something happens I'll cut you with my sword.

Stand up!

Fast! All!

Let me let!

Let me.

Give him a sword!

Will be in front of the Royal Court, For what you want to do!

I ask you to protect yourself.

Simion chamber, don't kill me. I'm still young.

Niculăeș is a tax collector, I do not judge you.

Then His Majesty, Stefan Voivodeship, will judge.

Tie your mouth and let's go!

So, you ...

God has submitted you, to the Tribunal of our Country, where in this life

these offenses It simply cannot be forgiven.

And, you, Sir Agapi,

Our Father Bogdan voivodeship rotates in his grave.

Mihu Logofet has been 21 years ago,

Our enemy and dig against us.

Ignoring our forgiving letters

And they continued to act like enemies in our country.

Did one of you thought this?

But forget these boyars, get it the punishment for them.

He will be buried honestly by the church, which was the presbyter.

Let's trust your relatives your funeral.

And this young noble,

who has long lost his head because of a girl,

take me to the prison of Chilia Fortress

and only let it go out, When you're ready to sacrifice your life for Molda.

Dad!

Dear sons!

I wanted to say hello from Bogdan and Ilie (Elijah).

Probably, Elena and His Majesty Petru

They are very pleased to have their teacher travel From Irinest to the Vaslui camp.

Tente baby, tente ...

Speak.

Come on, ma'am.

We'll miss you, sir.

We will pray your Majesty during the day and night

for health and victory.

Don't forget your Majesty that when linked his life with our cousin,

You have become one of those princes, who could form the right to the Byzantine throne.

The yard, ready to go,

He is only waiting for his ruler.

Yes.

Majesty,

The ladies of Radu Vajda ask him to receive them.

Wait in the small dining room.

My husband, he promised to remove it from the yard The two Wallachia.

They'll go soon.

Until our relatives live with us,

Please, ma'am, take them to protect them.

What do you wish for me at the moment of my departure?

We want to go to Vaslui with your Majesty.

At the Vaslui camp

No place for kids

And, especially for girls.

Majesty,

Now, however, please take it secretly provide us with protection for us.

Why? What Happened?

Radu Vajda's friends They want to take us from Moldavia right away

After your Majesty left.

Mihu Logofet sent this letter.

You no longer want to serve Radu Voivodeship, He will be a servant of Mehmed.

Your Majesty knows that during my life I was exposed to long suffering.

I don't want this child to whom Vlad Tepes blood flows in its veins,

get to know the humiliation.

I know there is not much left of my life.

I would like to stay here,

In our country.

Probably the curse of the Romanian generation

He does not avoid our homeland.

I will send you to a safe place.

But not as a hostage,

but as a good friend.

Grandma Candachia will accompany you to the monastery of Pîngărați (Pongrác).

Why don't you do it properly?

It's too easy, Majesty.

Like a pen.

How do you want to fight?

With mace, Majesty.

I'm a shepherd of Rarău Mountain. I brought my mace with me.

This is given to me this straw.

Bring her mace, let's see what you know.

Majesty, with this mace

I could even kill a bear.

He also gets up with the swords of three warriors.

Send some warriors. Let's look at him.

Collect 50 strong people and Create an armed team.

Give them a mace.

Their commander, though this is the Rarău-i be a shepherd.

I understood, Majesty.

Good fuss, man!

Come here!

Let's see if you can protect yourself.

My sword!

Protect yourself!

Pick up your sword!

A warrior dreaded.

But it's true that you can protect yourself.

Stop!

Mehmed has several such cannons.

60 oxen pull them.

With such heavy weapons on the roads of Iron Lui It is impossible to move.

Yet they say the sultan goes there on the roads, Wherever you want.

The two sons did a good job for us.

You might want to know, Manole mainly

What could be such a reward for such service?

Your Majesty's reward can only be good.

I prefer Simion Chamber.

Well, I guess I can't get out of it.

I need to change my previous decision In connection with Miss Marușca.

I think Manole, this young woman would be able to hit my feet,

If I don't let me get married

with your selected.

But what do I do?

I smiled at him from nonsense,

And I kissed her forehead?

Majesty, you should be so,

Because everything is written in the stars, Events and participants.

Yes.

Leave myself now With the young horse, Ionuț Jder.

We've done everything well and efficiently, This is our job.

But especially thank you, my Lovász son, that you decipher the secret of the big cannon.

This was necessary, To prevent the Turks from giving us away,

when they are deployed at the battle scene.

According to our scouts,

Pasha Suleiman can come here with his teams,

around December.

So Mehmed wants to war in the middle of winter.

The news brought by ionuț grooming,

He didn't get us unexpectedly.

That's why we're here in the camp, Vaslui.

What are the news about the Italian ambassador?

Ambassadors of Venice and the Pope of Rome They are still on the road.

Together with Cristea Jder.

Who to send in front of the ambassadors to Do you welcome them to Roman?

In front of the two stones ...

We command me to start Ionuț Jder.

But only after cutting off his beard.

Then I would like to

Ionuț Lovas,

make it,

that the big cannons of the Sultan

can't bring it to Moldavia

guard

they can't shoot with it.

What happened, Candachia noble woman?

I brought good news, Majesty.

Mrs Maria is better.

Rest, no one bothers you.

But her daughter is very restless.

He clung to me and walks while walking he folded:

"No, I don't want to see His Majesty"

I could barely come from him.

Tell the truth, Candachia noble woman,

Only this news came from Vaslui, At this stage of winter?

Majesty, that's what they told me.

All right, well ..

The ladies know that Radu voivode is dead?

No, Majesty, the pîngărați No one came out of the monastery.

Radu died like a dog

In the Fogaras area.

Even his grave is not marked.

Take this news for them, ma'am.

Let me know you are free now, They go where they want.

If they want to go abroad, if they want, they will stay here In Moldavia, as our relatives.

We will allow you for your loyal service

Candachia nobility,

to meet her husband.

Cristea treasurer is here at our yard, With the Italian ambassador.

Majesty ...

I am very pleased with your work, Father Nicodim.

Only his title is missing.

Write!

"Reverend God,

and Christ-loving ruler

I, Stefan Voivodeship,

Moldavian ruler,

I ordered a nicodemus monk, that hand describes the first four books of the New Testament

and hand over to the Humor Monastery. (“Humori Tetravongelium”)

My soul, my parents

and to the memory of my children.

Father Gerondi started

and in 17 years in September 1473 completed,

Father Nicodim, offering his work to our kingdom.

Forgive me, Majesty,

But I can't do this service anymore.

Allow me, my ruler, to get under his flag and send him to the battle.

Did you think about it?

My glorious ruler,

I would sin God

and before my people,

If I were wearing a dress,

to which I no longer have no calls.

Well, then,

be as you want.

Get enforced with your vow and and waiting for our instructions.

In the times to come

To Nicoară Jder's sword

We will need more than your pen.

The end of the first part

Second part

Welcome, Majesty.

I brought the ambassador.

Guido Solana is advisable,

The commissioner of the Venice Senate.

Girolamo basso della rovere

His Holiness is IV, Pope Sixtus.

Welcome to your gentlemen, at our yard, in the country of our ancestors (Italian).

They can finish shots.

Don't you mind if there's no more shots?

It is better now to put the powder aside for another purpose.

Dear guests,

I greet the Roman Holy Father, Sixtus

and the Venetian Senate

delegates in the land of our ancestors,

where they can feel at home.

It would be good if you help with God's help

They would keep with us and support Other Christian brothers, too,

Now, on the eve of the war with Mehmed.

Our holy father and ruler

ARC. Pope Sixtus,

to fight the pagans for fighting

sends blessing to your Majesty's troops

and promise money to his army immediately.

Similarly money promises to help your Majesty The Venice Senate.

Respectable ambassadors,

Let their ruler find out,

If their support does not arrive on time,

obviously two things will happen:

or is lost in our country,

or will be forced to be in spite of my will surrender to the Gentiles.

But I would never do that,

I'd rather be 100,000 dead,

as a slave in our country.

And there are many, Mârza Castle?

As much as leaf and grass room, There are so many, sir.

You don't have to be too scared from a large number of Gentiles.

Don't forget, their army moves slower On such roads like us

and they have to provide all that many people and animals.

Ours will be the victory, If you manage to constantly harass and starve them.

We are waiting for your commands, Majesty.

To destroy everything!

Burn the villages along the roads, where they go!

The residents should go up the mountains!

They find nothing on their way, Just smoke and ash.

Why did you do this?

Our house is burning!

Two hands work! Where do we go with the kids now?

Good man, we need to stop the pagan invasion, Otherwise, everything will die.

It's hard to accept what is good for us now, But we are all, brothers, husbands and ourselves

We are afraid of our lives.

You think it was easy for her Majesty To issue this command?

But if this is not what our voivode commands The Gentiles would have sold us on the slave market,

like cattle.

They could have stayed a little longer, dear.

They stayed with me so little time, That I didn't know what to do first.

I'm glad when they arrive And I'm sad when they leave.

I don't know ...

We say goodbye, hostess Elisabeta.

He always holds us up. Do your pancakes again?

The Turks haven't come here yet.

Boys can't be in a dog run, hurriedly.

Horse!

- Buy more. - Horse!

Remember me,

when you are in a stranger.

Was our land not lost To take on his poor men.

As the sun makes the fields rich, The hail makes it destroy

This is how our brothers live in their homes.

I ask your Majesty, Let him fight in the ranks of the Christian army.

Thank you knight for your decision.

This means that a support provided by Venice All this is one sword,

in the war against unbelievers.

Șendrea, let's take care of our own things now.

Stay here, Pasha Suleiman This road arrives with 3,000 riders.

They are constantly tired of the enemy,

To weaken and arrest them in all kinds. At the same time, to steer their army towards Vaslui.

I do it exactly, Majesty.

Destroy the Turks, to take away their food and their prey.

To hit their wagons during the day and night.

When Pasha Suleiman is in Siret (Love Fair),

Notify us.

Of course, Majesty!

And if we can't steer Suleiman towards Vaslui, Majesty?

Then for these poor people His efforts were all in vain.

I still think so Suleiman comes where we want,

Just because we didn't burn it villages beyond Siret (river)

Bârlad (Barlad) and Vaslui.

Majesty,

The Gentiles do not cross the On Siret,

They set off for Roman.

This is not good.

I thought Suleiman would pass through

In these narrow swamp places towards Vaslui.

It would have been the only way to to break the army of 120,000 people.

We could have hit the enemy sides towards Vaslui,

Bacău (Baco) and Roman (Romanian fair).

On these open terrain

Suleiman can hardly be beaten.

My ruler, we chased them to Siret.

On the Vaslui road, their houses remained intact.

Stefan didn't have time to burn them.

We found enough food there to the people

and oats for the horses.

About Stefan, what's the news?

Stefan and his teams disappeared at Vaslui.

You have to hit it there.

Not!

There you can trap us there.

It would be better if we went on To Suceava (sousa)?

If we were to occupy the Moldavian fortresses, Stefan is left without protection.

And what about the supply of humans and animals?

After what I have seen is clear that We can only get it on the road to the Iron Lun

All that is necessary.

We can easily get from ironlui Roman (Romanian fair).

And from there we are attacked with Grana Bég Suceava.

Allah controls our teams on the road to victory.

We go to Vaslui.

Only Grana Bég shooters go on Towards Roman

Majesty,

Gentiles crossed Siret (love fair) river.

They are heading towards Iron Lui.

Only Grana Bég goes alone

to cover the wings of the Turkish army.

Captain șendrea,

You need to be constantly tired of the Gentiles Bârlad.

And then we can prepare as we should, For the meeting, Pasha Suleiman with Rumélia Beglerbég.

We attack food suppliers.

They are unbelievers! They are unbelievers!

Let's beat them!

Captain șendrea, by my command here You fight.

I understood, Majesty.

Here we will wait for Suleiman Pasha.

Everyone should feel it,

that here, in these valleys, the fate of Moldva is decided.

Mehmed doesn't just want our tax.

If we lose this battle,

We also lose our independence,

which our nation has preserved for centuries.

We would rather die, Majesty.

We will be victory, sir.

Majesty,

We are waiting for your commands.

In such a place the great Ottoman army It won't turn easily.

But we will be able to move comfortably.

My command is as follows: The enemy is bound by the terrain, to which you need to adapt,

Between Lipovăț and Rediu at the bridge,

We must force them to fight At our left wing.

Then most of our troops

attacks them from side and back.

- Mihai Spartaru! - Yes, Majesty.

There, beyond the fortress

on the right side

Place 5,000 Szeklers.

In the middle and left

Riders' troops and Bode peasants.

The second line must be pulled together,

the spearmen and the mace of Duma

and 1800 soldiers sent by King Matthias.

I understood, Majesty!

And what with the peasant army

We hide in the upper part of the forest.

And there, on the hill near the Wallachia

they will be pushed by landowners and their servants

Together with the Polish Buczacki's spears.

Captain Herman,

take care of 20 cannons to two sides of the valley, which can be used to keep the bridge under fire.

How many cannons can you place?

Week, Majesty.

The cannons start the battle.

All right, Majesty.

Vaslui's castle will soon feel the power of these weapons.

And the peasants of Stefan, the sharpness of our swords.

Revenue

and after destroying Stefan's army

Your country will be our prey, isn't it, sir?

As usual, Ali Bég.

But do not forget that tenth of the prey As for our great sultan.

Captain Mârza brought good news.

The Ottoman army crossed the siret and keeps șendrea's horsemen here.

From Allah's grace to winter into the spring

It's like ours in Anatolia.

Allah should be blessed.

All soldiers are happy.

Now we are all sure about it, that we can fill the winter

In Poland, Kamenica.

We will destroy Stefan's Moldova army tomorrow.

And in the evening we will have dinner at the Vaslui camp.

Tuesday, January 10, 1475.

In this fog, the noise of the weapons is not heard until the tents.

The fog causes the Gentiles to stay in place or They go towards another.

That's why I called you here.

This fog, now our other ally.

With such weather,

At all costs, you have to cheat the Turks to the bridge.

As if someone had said, that the noise of the weapons is not heard to the tents.

And if besides the weapons

The horns would also start.

From both noises

The enemy concludes we are there and attacks.

Then we hit the main army To the wings of Suleiman.

Trumpets in the greatest silence go to the bridge

Suleiman will walk into his trap, Majesty.

Tell me, Manole Outstander,

would not be able to perform that task,

What to do at the top of the trumpets,

and shows the way from the abyss to the bridge?

In my age I am satisfied with one With lighter service, Majesty.

Thank you, Choice.

Come closer!

We change the military plan.

The cannons finish firing.

You have to tell them, only then fire, When the majority of the Turkish army

He had crossed the bridge.

Then the Gentiles behind the back of

The trumpets of the horns and Manole speak.

The Gentiles in the belief that the battle has begun

They run back to the bridge, the swamp.

When they get stuck at the pillars,

With the big army, we hit them from the Meren hills.

Sir, to my command, the Janissaries stopped.

Our progress can be dangerous in this fog.

But this can even benefit us, Piri Bég.

What does the brave Hasan say?

Correct what he said, sir.

Only in this fog can my Spahi soldiers move on, so that the unbelievers do not notice.

My lord, my soldiers in this fog, Allah They dare to discover a sign of defense.

Let's move on.

Just let the Spas go ahead with the greatest caution.

Forward! (Turkish)

The Gentiles are coming!

They're coming!

The Gentiles are coming, Majesty!

The Gentiles attack!

Forward! (Turkish)

Forward! (Turkish)

Why don't they shoot the bridge with cannons?

Shoot!

Attack!

With a weapon up!

Ours retreat. The Gentiles are clutching them.

Majesty, don't worry. We stay with you.

Our commanders are Simion, Nicoară and Damian

to arrest the Gentiles for a while,

Then Bode's peasants should go.

After me!

We'll beat them! Next to Vaslui.

About Lora!

Cannons, fire!

We go with the big army!

Fire!

Let us know! Louder!

Majesty,

Let us forward in the fight, The war is going on and we are here.

The voivodes, like His Majesty, are safe.

Now not the lives of the voivodes are in danger,

but the whole country.

Sir, Stefan trapped us, and attacked across the bridge.

The plants attack the bridge!

Drag the columns.

Let the Janissaries and the Spas attack.

Back!

Turn around!

Even louder!

All in one thread, brothers, kill the Gentile!

Forward!

Take care, Majesty!

What is your name, brave man?

- Ion ... “I would like to thank you.

- Ion, Majesty. - Your whole name?

Ion...
