A Campaign of the Great Hetman Jan Zamoyski in Moldavia (1595). Part II. The Batle of Tutora and Aftermath
Journal Title: Codrul Cosminului - Year 2013, Vol 19, Issue 1
Abstract
The Great Hetman Jan Zamoyski chose to fight at Ţuţora with a small army (7,250 soldiers) against numerically superior Tatar-Turkish forces (20-70,000 soldiers) because the town Iaşi, not being fortified, it was not suitable for a defensive battle. The battle of Ţuţora was won by the Polish troops because of their superiority in firearms (especially artilery) and because of fine qualities of military leader demonstrated by Jan Zamoyski. As a result of this battle, direct Turkish-Tatar danger was moved away from the borders of Rzeczpospolita, a dam to Habsburg aspirations to sovereignty over Moldavia was put and, finally, Polish influences were rebuilt there, not causing a war with the Ottomans. Thanks to the happy outcome of the battle of Ţuţora, Jan Zamoyski manages to enthrone Jeremiah Moghila as Hospodar of Moldavia. Attempting of Stephen Răzvan, a former Hospodar of Moldavia, to overthrow Jeremiah Moghila with Transylvanian troops provided by Prince Sigismund Báthory, is rejected by the Polish troops. Habsburgian attempts to attract Poland in the anti-Ottoman war of the Holy League fails because Poland's political and military leaders had come to the conclusion that this alliance would not bring any benefit to their country.
