Moise of Wallachia Moise ( died August 29 , 1530 ) was a Voivode ( Prince ) of Wallachia from January or March 1529 to June 1530 , son of Vladislav III . His rule marks the willingness of the boyars to compromise , in order to prevent rules like that of Basarab V - in which the Ottomans appointed the Prince and profited of his submission . Moise initially maintained a close relation with Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent : on Turkish orders , he sent an embassy to Sibiu demanding that the Transylvanian city submit to Ottoman vassal Hungarian King John Zápolya ; when refused , Moise ' s army , placed under the leadership of Seneschal Drăgan din Merişani and Neagoe din Periş ( the assassins of Radu de la Afumaţi and , possibly , of Basarab V ) attacked and plundered the outskirts . After the Siege of Vienna , the Prince attempted to cut off his country ' s links to the Porte and align it with Ferdinand of Austria and Ferdinand ' s regional ally , Moldavia n Prince Petru Rareş . This move was backed by the Craioveşti family , but by few other boyars . On February 13 , 1530 , Moise ordered the murder of several in the opposition , including Drăgan and Neagoe , during his wedding to a sister of a Craioveşti Ban ; the rest took refuge in Ottoman lands and elected Vlad Înecatul as the new Prince , with Ottoman recognition . Vlad stormed the country in May , and , by early June , Moise had to take refuge in Sibiu . The officials in Poienari were sent by Vlad to ask that Moise be turned over or killed - since he was now an ally , Sibiu refused . On August 24 , with Imperial backing , Moise re - entered Wallachia through the Rucăr - Bran Passage ; he was joined by Craioveşti troops at Slatina , and fought Vlad Înecatul at Viişoara ( in Teleorman ) , on August 29 . He suffered a major defeat and was killed on the spot . Even though killed , his family lineage lives on with the Moise Family that soon after moved to France .

First Battle of Rivas The First Battle of Rivas occurred on June 29 , 1855 as part of the struggle to resist filibuster , an American filibuster , adventurer , and soldier of fortune who arrived in Nicaragua with a small army of mercenaries in June 1855 in support of the democratic government of General Castellon in the Nicaraguan civil war . His army with local support was able to defeat the Legitimist party ( Aristocratic ) and conclude the Nicaraguan civil war . Background . A civil war was then raging in the Central American republic of Nicaragua . The Liberal party ( Democratic ) and the Legitimist party ( Aristocratic ) , were constantly warring with one another as they continually tried to gain political control through violent means . “ During a period of six years Nicaragua had had no fewer than fifteen presidents ” William Walker . William Walker was part of a failed attempt to conquer the Mexican territories of Baja California and Sonora . Back in California , he was put on trial for conducting an illegal war . In the era of Manifest Destiny , his filibustering project was popular in the southern and western United States and the jury took eight minutes to acquit him . While in America working as an editor at a local paper , Walker came to know Byron Cole . Cole had lived for several years in Central America , including Nicaragua . He convinced Walker that because of the ongoing civil war in the country , Nicaragua would be the perfect place to start an empire . Walker agreed and sent Cole to Nicaragua on August 15 , 1854 to negotiate with the local parties . Cole was able to enter into an agreement with revolutionary Castellon whereby Walker was authorized to engage three hundred men for military duty in Nicaragua . The men would be paid a monthly wage and a certain amount of land after the campaign finished . When Cole returned to America , Walker balked at the terms as it would violate the Act of Congress of 1818 commonly known as the neutrality law . However he told Cole that if he returned to Nicaragua and was able to get from Castellon a contract of colonization , Walker could act . Cole sailed a second time to meet Castellon and was able to get the colonization grant and an act stating that Walker ' s men would be guaranteed forever the privilege of bearing arms . Walker sailed from San Francisco on May 3 , 1855 with 57 men , to be reinforced by 170 locals and about 100 Americans upon landing , including then well - known explorer and journalist Charles Wilkins Webber . On September 1 , Walker defeated the Nicaraguan national army at La Virgen and , a month later , conquered the capital of Granada and took control of the country .
