Targoviste
was the third capital city of Wallachia and site of an assassination attempt of
the Ottoman sultan by Vlad the Impaler.
Unbeknownst to Vlad the sultan was already gone on the night that he
attacked the Turkish camp.
Inflicting
significant casualties, Vlad won the battle, but he lost the war. He was later imprisoned by the Hungarians and
his brother Radu, a favourite with the Turks, succeeded him.
