Description

"The surprise night attack during the Ottoman campaign of 1462 marked a pivotal moment in the conflict between Vlad the Impaler, the ruler of Wallachia, and Sultan Mehmed II. Occurring during one of Vlad's incursions into Bulgaria, the attack targeted the Ottoman camp with the primary goal of assassinating the sultan. Although the attack was unexpected,it was ultimately unsuccessful, and Mehmed continued his march towards Târgoviște. The horrifying scenes discovered in Târgoviște, where thousands of Ottoman and Bulgarian prisoners had been impaled, marked a climax of the conflict and generated intense propaganda in both the Christian and Islamic worlds. Despite the failure of the night attack, Vlad the Impaler managed to delay the conquest of Wallachia and solidify his reputation as a defender of Christendom."
