[Maria has to pause and think on that. Oh she had a basic enough knowledge of history given her upbringing but Maria isn't really the sort to concentrate on it too in-depth either.]
I believe Wallachia has been part of the Ottoman Empire for some time now? There was a war in ...
[Hold on here. She can almost here the scolding tones of her tutor now.]
1690, I think? Well the first of many anyhow between the Ottoman Empire and Russia. Peasants serving lords isn't so much a thing now as it once was thanks to serfdom being done away with.
[Her eyes narrow a little as she tries to remember what had been happening to the country in this past year. Frankly her sights were too set on Richter so...]
Nicholas Mavrogenes was the latest prince I believe. He was taken off the throne a few years ago so there's been another war from that unfortunately.

I hadn't realized there was so much fighting until now. I'm afraid I may have spent a number of years since the Belmonts took me in concentrating on our hunt of the night creatures. My studies in history have fallen off for that sort of training.
[Well and the Belmonts while better liked now than they once were weren't exactly the same nobility as the Renards. Mostly due to the whole fighting thing, though the Renards weren't without their own weaponry.]
