Prince of Moldavia
Ștefan I
Stephen I of Moldavia (Moldavian: Ştefan I; 1364 – 1399) was Prince of Moldavia from 1394 to 1399. He succeeded to the throne as son of the previous ruler, Roman I and succeeded by his brother Iuga(Yuri) whom he associated to the throne in 1399 when he fell ill.[1]
Stephen I's rule is notable for his victory at Ghindaoani (Neamt County) in February 1395 against king Sigismund I of Hungary who wished to assert his suzerainty over Moldavia (Stephen having had secured the support & agreed to be vassal of king Wladislaw II Jagello of Poland).[2]
Stephen I is buried at Bogdana Monastery in Radauti, Romania next to his father Roman I, grandfather Costea & great-grandfather Bogdan I - the founder of independent Moldavia.[3]
