Petru Rareș
Petru Rareș , sometimes known as Peter IV (Petru IV; ca. 1483 – 3 September 1546) was twice voievod of Moldavia: 20 January 1527 to 18 September 1538 and 19 February 1541 to 3 September 1546.
He was an illegitimate child born (probably at Hârlău) to Stephen the Great.
His mother was Maria Răreșoaia of Hârlău, whose existence is not historically documented but who is said to have been the wife of a wealthy boyar fish-merchant nicknamed "Rareșrare-haired" (i.e., bald).
"Rareș" thus was not Petru’s actual name but a nickname of his mother’s husband.
In his youth he was a fish merchant, but Prince Ștefăniță, grandson of Ștefan cel Mare, on his deathbed, recommended Petru as a suitable contender to the throne, thus acknowledging Petru's blood lineage from Ștefan cel Mare.
Petru exhibited many of his father's qualities: ambition, daring, bravery, piety, artistic taste.
However, he was marked by inconstancy and a lack of political instincts.

Stephen III of Moldavia
Stephen III of Moldavia, known as Stephen the Great (died on 2 July 1504), was Voivode (or Prince) of Moldavia from 1457 to 1504.
He was the son of and co-ruler with Bogdan II, who was murdered in 1451 in a conspiracy organized by his brother and Stephen's uncle Peter III Aaron who took the throne.
Stephen fled to Hungary, and later to Wallachia, but with the support of Vlad III Dracula, Voivode of Wallachia, he returned to Moldavia, forcing Aaron to seek refuge in Poland in the summer of 1457.
Teoctist I, Metropolitan of Moldavia, anointed Stephen prince.
He attacked Poland and prevented Casimir IV Jagiellon, King of Poland, from supporting Peter Aaron, but eventually acknowledged Casimir's suzerainty in 1459.
Stephen decided to recapture Chilia (now Kiliya in Ukraine), an important port on the Danube, which brought him into conflict with Hungary and Wallachia.
He besieged the town during the Ottoman invasion of Wallachia in 1462, but was seriously wounded during the siege.
Two years later, he captured the town.
He promised support to the leaders of the Three Nations of Transylvania against Matthias Corvinus, King of Hungary, in 1467.
Corvinus invaded Moldavia, but Stephen defeated him in the Battle of Baia.
Peter Aaron attacked Moldavia with Hungarian support in December 1470, but was also defeated by Stephen and executed, along with the Moldavian boyars who still endorsed him.
Stephen restored old fortresses and built new ones, which improved Moldavia's defence system as well as strengthened central administration.
Ottoman expansion threatened Moldavian ports in the region of the Black Sea.
In 1473, Stephen stopped paying tribute ("haraç") to the Ottoman sultan and launched a series of campaigns against Wallachia in order to replace its rulers – who had accepted Ottoman suzerainty – with his protégés.
However, each prince who seized the throne with Stephen's support was soon forced to pay homage to the sultan.
Stephen eventually defeated a large Ottoman army in the Battle of Vaslui in 1475.
Stephen was referred to as "Athleta ChristiChampion of Christ") by Pope Sixtus IV, even though Moldavia's hopes for military support went unfulfilled.
The following year, Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II routed Stephen in the Battle of Valea Albă, but the lack of provisions and the outbreak of a plague forced him to withdraw from Moldavia.
Taking advantage of a truce with Matthias Corvinus, the Ottomans captured Chilia, their Crimean Tatar allies Cetatea Albă (now Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi in Ukraine) in 1483.
Although Corvinus granted two Transylvanian estates to Stephen, the Moldavian prince paid homage to Casimir, who promised to support him to regain Chilia and Cetatea Albă.
Stephen's efforts to capture the two ports ended in failure.
From 1486, he again paid a yearly tribute to the Ottomans.
During the following years, dozens of stone churches and monasteries were built in Moldavia, which contributed to the development of a specific Moldavian architecture.
Casimir IV's successor, John I Albert, wanted to grant Moldavia to his younger brother, Sigismund, but Stephen's diplomacy prevented him from invading Moldavia for years.
John Albert attacked Moldavia in 1497, but Stephen and his Hungarian and Ottoman allies routed the Polish army in the Battle of the Cosmin Forest.
Stephen again tried to recapture Chilia and Cetatea Albă, but had to acknowledge the loss of the two ports to the Ottomans in 1503.
During his last years, his son and co-ruler Bogdan III played an active role in government.
Stephen's long rule represented a period of stability in the history of Moldavia.
From the 16th century onwards both his subjects and foreigners remembered him as a great ruler.
Modern Romanians regard him as one of their greatest national heroes, although he also endures as a cult figure in Moldovenism.
After the Romanian Orthodox Church canonized him in 1992, he is venerated as "Stephen the Great and HolyȘtefan cel Mare și Sfânt").
