Localitatea unde Ștefan cel Mare a purtat ultima bătălie cu turcii. Cum l-a salvat aprodul Purice pe domnitor? • Newsweek România

The last battle of Stephen the Great against the Ottomans took place in March 1486 near Suceava. Despite being outnumbered and initially losing, Stephen was saved by his loyal servant Purice, who helped him mount a horse after he was trapped under dead bodies. This moment allowed Stephen to regroup his forces and ultimately secure victory. The battle marked a turning point, leading Stephen to later seek peace with the Ottomans, ending his long reign with a tribute agreement. Purice was rewarded for his bravery, and his family became influential in Moldavian history.
