This seems also to have been the case in Transylvania prior to its conquest by Hungary, since this remained the title of the head of the autonomous principality even after its conquest (in contrast with Hungary's western-style feudal titles).
Starting with the 17th century, as military power was scrutinized by the Ottoman Empire, the rank of Voievod came closer to the meaning of national ruler (domn).
The voievod title was kept in its initial form by the Wallachian (Romanian) nobility of Ţara Haţegului and Maramureş, where the title of voievod, together with the princely cneaz title, had the meaning of noble/local ruler, but also of the leader of local armies or militias.
