Stephen III of Moldavia | Military Wiki | Fandom
He was victorious in 46 of his 48 battles, and was one of the first to gain a decisive victory over the Ottomans at the Battle of Vaslui, after which Pope Sixtus IV deemed him verus christianae fidei athleta (true Champion of Christian Faith ). He was a man of religion and displayed his piety when he paid the debt of Mount Athos to the Porte, ensuring the continuity of Athos as an autonomous monastical community.
Or Bassarab & Bogdan with each of them having 3 missions for how the Romanians managed to make their own independent states:
