Description

Explore a defining era of Eastern European history with Stephen the Great and Balkan Nationalism. Published by Bloomsbury as part of the International Library of Historical Studies, this work examines the legacy of a ruler who changed the course of the Balkans. Following the 1475 Battle of Vaslui, where the Ottoman Empire was defeated, Stephen the Great earned the title Athleta Christi, or Champion of Christ. This book details how he maintained Moldavia's independence from 1457 to 1504 despite constant Ottoman attacks. By examining his religious stance and military successes, readers gain insight into how he was perceived as a founder of Balkan identity. His victories served to elevate the status of Christianity in Europe during a period of intense territorial conflict. This is an essential read for those interested in the history of Moldova and the complex religious and political shifts of the late 15th century.
