| | Moldavia Information |
 | | Moldavia (Moldova in Romanian) is a geographical and historical region in north-eastern Romania. |
 | | Alongside the capture of Khotyn, Stephen’s rule brought a brief extension of princely rule into Transylvania: Cetatea de Baltă and Ciceu became his fiefs in 1489; this was, however, doubled by the loss of Cetatea Albă and Kilia to the Ottomans. |
 | | The first Moldavian rule established under the Statute, that of Mihail Sturdza, was nonetheless ambivalent: eager to reduce abuse of office, Sturdza introduced reforms (the abolition of slavery, secularization, economic rebuilding), but he was widely seen as enforcing his own power over that of the newly-instituted consultative Assembly. |
