High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Battle of Skuleni (or the Battle of Sculeni) was fought on June 29, 1821 in Sculeni, Moldavia between the Ottoman forces of Sultan Mahmud II and Greek Filiki Eteria forces led by Prince George Catakouzenos. It came as a result of Ottoman reprisals for Alexander Ypsilantis' expedition in the two Danubian Principalities, and followed in the aftermath of the Dragashani Battle (as a prelude to the Greek War of Independence). When the Ottomans crossed the Bahlui River in Iaşi on June 25, 1821, Lieutenant Catakouzenos and his forces, originally stationed on the Russian frontier, crossed the Prut River.
