Stephen the Great (Stefan cel Mare) won lasting renown for his unrelenting resistance and opposition to the might of the Ottoman Empire. Voivod of Moldavia, he fought off invasion by King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary, and himself invaded Wallachia, which had become an Ottoman vassal state. This dogged determination to “cut off the pagan’s right had,” as well as Stephen’s habit of erecting a church or monastery after each successful battle and campaign (eventually coming to number 44 in total), earned him the title of Athleta Christi, the “Champion of Christ,” from Pope Sixtus IV.
Use Stephen the Great, the Champion of Christ, to achieve victory, no matter how improbable, and leave a lasting monument to victory in the Anachronism arena.
