I
known as Stephen the Great
born 1435
died July 2, 1504
Prince of Moldavia (1457–1504).
With the help of the Walachian prince Vlad III Ţepeş , Stephen secured the throne of Moldavia. He repelled a Hungarian invasion (1467) and later attacked Walachia (1471), by then under Turkish vassalage. He defeated invading Turks (1475, 1476) and contended with Polish and Hungarian designs on Moldavia. In 1503 Stephen signed a treaty preserving Moldavian independence at the cost of an annual tribute to the Turks.
II
or Stephen of Blois
born с 1097
died Oct. 25, 1154
King of England (1135–54).
The nephew of Henry I , he pledged to support Matilda but claimed the throne himself. In the civil strife that followed, he was unable to win the loyalty of all the barons. Matilda invaded (1139), and, in a display of chivalry, Stephen had her escorted to Bristol. She gained control of most of western England and captured Stephen in battle (1141), but her arrogance provoked a rebellion, and she was forced to leave England (1148). An agreement was reached whereby Matilda's son Henry of Anjou (later Henry II ), who invaded England in 1153, was named as Stephen's successor.
