Name

[edit]

Gbooks hits:

  • Petru Rareș: "Petru Rares" (312) + "Petru Rareș" (43) = 350
  • Peter Rareș: "Peter Rares" (156) + "Peter Rareș" (4) = 160
  • "Peter IV Rares" (17) + "Peter (Petru) IV Rareș" (1) + "Peter IV Rareș" (0)

Obviously, he is known by his original name without numerals.--Zoupan 08:49, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Only a hard-headed Romanian patriot can publish such a delusional statement that Peter won the battle at Obertyn 'through superior tactics'. He was in fact badly beaten despite his numerical superiority. Shame on people who use Wiki to create their versions of world history.

== obertyn battle ==

The problem with documenting this battle is that most of easily accessible information online is coming from unverifiable Polish sources (see for instance the wikipedia's page regarding this battle).

It is very unlikely that, given the location, time of the year, relative fighting strength and tactics of the two armies, the Moldavian forces to lose so many while the Poles so few. This alone tends to discredit that single (apparently) source of information that shows the Poles being victorious in a crushing manner.

On the other hand, the statement in this article is equally unverified...
