After an indecisive battle in 1435 (at Podraga or Podagra, the present-day village of Podriga in Drăguşeni), Władysław III intervened to appease the conflict and helped institute a shared rule of the two brothers over Moldavia (with Iliaş as nominal ruler and with Stephen as lord over the southeastern part of the country—in Tecuci, Kilia, Vaslui, and Covurlui—although both shared residence in Suceava).
