  Michael the Brave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael the Brave (Romanian: Mihai Viteazul) was one of the greatest of Romania's national heroes.
Michael became the Ban of Mehedinţi in 1588, the stolnic, or commissioner, at the court of Mihnea Turcitul by the end of 1588, and the Ban of Craiova in 1593 during the time Wallachia was ruled by Alexandru cel Rău (Alexander the Evil).
Michael, allied with Basta, defeated the Hungarian noblemen at Gurăslău (Goroszló).

Michael repeatedly routed an Ottoman retaliatory army with the help of Sigismund Báthory, prince of Transylvania, and mercenaries; Michael’s subjects were oppressively taxed to pay for the victory.
Initially, Michael had the support of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II and he was able to unite all Romanians under his sole rule.
Defeated, Michael fled and presented himself at the imperial court in Vienna, where he was pardoned and reinstated as governor of Transylvania.

Michael the Brave, prince of Wallachia, after his conquest of Transylvania (which afterwards was restored to Hungary), temporarily united the Rumanians under a single sceptre (1593-1601).
Michael the Brave's conquest of Transylvania is true in so far as he in his capacity as the ruler of Wallachia in vassalage to Hungary, in 1599 had been given temporary charge by Rudolf, emperor of Germany and king of Hungary, to restore order in Transylvania, then suffering from internecine struggles.
When Michael the Brave, leading a predominantly Székely-Hungarian army defeated the Transylvanian ruler Andreas Báthori, he actually broke his oath of fealty to the latter.

The latter period of Báthory rule saw a four-sided conflict in Transylvania involving the Transylvanians, the Austrians, the Ottomans, and the voivod of Wallachia, Prince Michael the Brave (Mihai Viteazul in Romanian).
Michael gained control of Transylvania in 1599 after the Battle of Şelimbăr in which he defeated Andrew Báthory's army.
The latter finally subdued Transylvania in 1604 and initiated a reign of terror in which he was authorised to appropriate the land of noblemen, Germanize the population, and reclaim the principality for Catholicism through the Counter Reformation.
