The conflict between Vlad the Impaler and Basarab Laiota came to a decisive conclusion when Vlad, who had been exiled, sought to reclaim his former position as the ruler of Wallachia. He garnered crucial support from notable allies, Stephen III of Moldavia, also known as Stephen the Great, and Stephen V Báthory. These allies brought with them valuable military resources and strategic support, augmenting Vlad's efforts in reclaiming his territory. The engagement unfolded in a context where Wallachia was rife with political strife and instability, driven by internal rivalries and external threats from the Ottoman Empire. The combined forces of Vlad, Stephen the Great, and Stephen V Báthory successfully confronted and defeated Basarab Laiota's troops, marking a significant shift in power dynamics within the region.

This battle not only reinstated Vlad to the throne for the third and final time but also cemented the alliances between key players in the region, at least for a brief period. Vlad's reign was characterized by his notoriously brutal methods of governance, often employing fear as a tool for political control. The support he received from his allies contributed to a more formidable front against other local antagonists and showcased the importance of collaboration among rulers during times of conflict. The aftermath of this battle shaped the political landscape of Wallachia, entrenching Vlad's legacy and the impact of regional alliances in the face of external pressures.
