Vlad the Impaler's Ottoman Wars: The Night Attack of 1462
Om avsnittet
In this episode of The History of Romania, Lucas and Luna dive into one of the most dramatic episodes of Vlad III Drăculea's reign: the Night Attack of 1462. They explore the buildup to the Ottoman invasion, Vlad's brutal scorched-earth tactics, and the audacious nighttime assault on Mehmed II's camp that nearly changed the course of history. Along the way, they discuss the politics of the Danube frontier, the role of the Wallachian boyars, and the legend versus reality of Vlad's encounter with the Ottoman sultan. The episode also touches on Vlad's use of terror, the shifting alliances of the period, and how this battle fits into the larger struggle between Christian Europe and the Ottoman Empire. Drawing on Ottoman chronicles, Romanian sources, and modern scholarship, Lucas and Luna separate fact from fiction while appreciating the sheer audacity of a small Wallachian army facing the might of Constantinople's conqueror.
