The Battle of Posada, Basarab I of Wallachia against the Hungarians, in 1330 on page 146 of the Képes Krónika, 1360 also appears in another version earlier on page 143 of the Képes Krónika. 75. Roumanian foot-soldier, 14th Century, from Armies of the Middle Ages, Volume 2 by Ian Heath is based on the Battle of Posada in the Képes Krónika as is 129. Vlach infantryman, from Armies of Feudal Europe 1066-1300 by Ian Heath, based on the Battle of Posada against Basarab I of Wallachia in the Képes Krónika
77. Roumanian Cavalryman, 14th Century, from Armies of the Middle Ages, Volume 2 by Ian Heath, based on a Wallachian envoy, delivering a message from Voivode Basarab to Hungarian King Charles Robert prior to the Battle of Posada in the the Képes Krónika. This appears between the 2 versions of the illustration of the Battle of Posada. Does anyone know of the sources for other Roumanian figures by Ian Heath: 76. Roumanian Foot-Soldier, 15th Century; 78. Roumanian Cavalryman, 15th Century; 79. Roumanian Heavy Cavalryman, 15th Century; or useful contemporary illustrations of 14th-15th century Roumanians soldiers? Druzhina 14th Century Illustrations of Costume & Soldiers |

Thanks GurKhan, I had a look for this. If it is a fresco from the walls of Sucevita monastery church, it is probably not 15th century, but early 17th century. From The Painted Monasteries of Bucovina:
High walls and heavily buttressed defensive towers surround the great monastic complex of Sucevita, giving it the appearance of a fortress. Founded in 1581 by Gheorghe Movila, Bishop of Radauti, it was later expanded by his brother, Ieremia, ruling prince of Moldavia, who added massive ramparts and turrets.An elegant steeple resting on a star-shaped base tops the church. Massive eaves protect the outside frescoes, painted by local artists in 1602-1604. So, even later than the mural of a Siege of Constantinople, Moldovita, Bucovina, Romania, 1537 Druzhina 16th Century Illustrations of Costume & Soldiers

You're no doubt right – I did wonder if some of the clothing styles looked a bit late for the supposed date. |
