1359 --- The voivode Bogdan of Maramures, passes in Moldavia and, supported by the local populace, dissatisfied with the domination of the representatives of the king of Hungary, as well as with the Catholic propaganda, drives away Balc and is recognized as voivode and ruling prince by the local feudal lords (until 1365).
