This in in fact just first part of the movie, as it ends with battle of Călugăreni in 1595. Second part of the movie described further campaigns, including dubious support of the Imperial army and ends with Michael the Brave being assasinated in his camp by Imperial soldiers in 1601. Second movie is also available on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS0SgabACTs
thanks Michal
A colourful battle scene - at least until the mud gets everywhere.
