Years: 1475 - 1475
After the battle, Stephen sends four of the captured Turkish commanders, together with thirty-six of their standards and abundant booty, to King Casimir, and implores him to provide troops and money to support the Moldavians in the struggle against the Ottomans.
He also sends letters and a few prisoners and Turkish standards to the Pope and Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus, asking for support.
The Pope's reply to Stephen denies him help, but awards him with the "Athleta Christi", while King Casimir pleads poverty and does nothing; his own men then accuse him of sloth, and advise him to change his shameful behavior or hand over his rule to someone else.
