Action A of 196000 - Wedded Bliss for Theodoros

Description

Maria Asanina Palaiologina (aka Maria of Mangup) was a niece of Issakios Saichos (r.1458-75). Her marriage with Stefan III cel Mare of Moldavia (r.1457-1504) in 1472 proved bittersweet. On one hand Theodoros gained an ally against the Ottomans but the Prince's new relation later engineered Issakios's downfall in favour of his new brother-in-law Alexandros (1475). A proposed marital alliance between Saichos's daughter and Ivan III of Muscovy's son (Ivan 'Molodoy') was also made but came to naught with his demise - despite promises of trade concessions to Muscovite merchants.

Action A of 258045 - Meddling in Moldavia for Poland

Description

In 1593, war between the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburgs started. In 1594 a very strong Tatar raid, carried by about 20,000-30,000 men led by the Khan of Crimea, Gazi II Giray plundered Pokucie and moved to Hungary through mountain passes, in order to plunder Habsburg lands. Commonwealth troops gathered too late to intercept it. The Prince of Transylvania, Sigismund Báthory, nephew of former Polish King Stefan Batory, had strengthened Habsburg influence in Moldavia after setting Stefan Razvan on the Moldavian throne. In 1595 Zamoyski, persuaded by Moldavian refugees, decided to intervene. The Commonwealth forces under hetman Jan Zamoyski crossed the Dniestr, defeated local opposition and Ottoman reinforcements, and set Ieremia Movila on the Moldavian throne as a Commonwealth vassal. This was seen by many as very dangerous step because Ottomans were preparing to place their own candidate on Moldavian throne.
