basarab Țepeluș cel tânăr

basarab iv cel tânăr -lrb- `` the young '' -rrb- , also known as Țepeluș -lrb- `` the little impaler '' -rrb- , son of basarab ii , was domnitor of the principality of wallachia , between the years 1477 -- 1481 , and again from 1481 to 1482 .
curiously , and symbolically of the unstable political climate of medieval wallachia , despite the fact that he was removed from his position in 1481 , and replaced the same year , two other men were granted the title prince of wallachia between his two reigns .
in 1479 he was forced by ali kodsha to take part on the ottoman campaign against transylvania , where he faced his arch-rival uncle basarab laiotă cel bătrân who had been living in transylvania since 1477 , having been ousted from the throne of wallachia , by cel tânăr .
basarab iv brought approx. : 2,000 infantry to the campaign , but was defeated in the battle of breadfield .
