The Battle of Călugăreni took place during the history of early modern Romania on 23 August [O.S. 13 August] 1595 between the Wallachian army led by Michael the Brave and the Ottoman army led by Koca Sinan Pasha. It was part of the Long Turkish War, fought between Christian and Ottoman forces at the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th centuries. The whole Ottoman force was estimated at 100,000 men, but not all of their troops were on the battlefield at Călugăreni. It seems that only about 30,000-40,000 Ottoman soldiers were involved in the battle. Michael the Brave had in total about 15,000 men and about 12 large field cannons, with Transylvanian (Székely) detachments and Cossack mercenaries. Michael strategically positioned his forces south of the village of Călugăreni, where the Câlniștea river flows into the Neajlov river. The terrain there was a muddy marsh, surrounded by forests that would negate the Ottomans' military superiority. The battle had three different phases.
