I have no idea what the author meant by "spirt de râmă" but look at it this way, if it doesn't work, you'll have something to drown your sorrow with.

The most recent issue of the magazine Medieval World: Culture & Conflict (formerly Medieval Warfare) includes a short piece by Adrian Gheorghe on the 15th century Wallachian military, entitled "Dracula's Men: The Equipment and Tactics of Wallachian Soldiers."

Thanks for the heads-up! Adrian Gheorghe is one of the members of Corpus Draculianum. For anyone interested, here he talks about Vlad Țepeș and his Wallachian army.

Frescoes from the former schit at Stăneşti-Lunca, com. Lungeşti, jud. Vâlcea, Wallachia. Construction and frescoes finished on October 28th 1536. Unfortunately, they are terribly degraded. We also find a portret of Stroe Buzescu (story here) and his wife, Sima. Source: http://www.medieval.istoria-artei.ro...c-programs.php
