Abstract

 Following the dramatic events of 1616, Radu Mihnea ascended into the throne of Moldova. The new ruler of Moldova had to face a difficult mission. He had to contribute to the retention of Tatar attacks in the Polish territories, and of the Cossacks in the Ottoman territories. The tension between the Ottoman Empire and Poland peaked in 1617, when the Ottomans decided to build a fortress on the border with Poland. This intention was countered by the Polish army which was ready to combat these plans. The incursions of the Tartars and the Cossacks continued in the following years, which contributed to the further deterioration of the Polish-Ottoman relations and to the instability of the rule in the country of Moldova.
