Local power holders experienced Ottoman suzerainty quite differently in the predominantly Christian vassal polities of Walachia and Moldavia. Join Michał Wasiucionek in The Wild Field as he explores these unique systems of patronage. Michał Wasiucionek is a Doctoral student at European University Institute working on the history of the Danubian principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia during the seventeenth century .
