MOVILA IEREMIA: (1555-1606) Voivode of Moldavia 1595-1600 & 1600-06. Rare L.S., `Hyeremia Mogila´, one page, folio, Zuchaviae, 27th September 1596, to Alphonso, Apostolic Nuncio in Transylvania, in Latin. Movila announces that he is sending his messenger the noble Theodore Philipouzki with his letter, further sending his best wishes and blessing to his correspondent. With blank address leaf, bearing a royal paper seal affixed. Small overall age wear. G £800-1200 Ieremia Movila was a boyar who was placed on the throne as Prince of Moldavia by Polish Chancellor Jan Zamoyski, after the acceptance of Imperial tutelage over Moldavia by Stefan Razvan, having received backing from Transylvanian Prince Sigismund Bathory and Emperor Rudolf II. Movila was also accepted by the Porte, and Moldavia became a vassal of both countries, owing tributes to the Holy Roman Empire and to the Ottomans. When Stefan Razvan tried to return on the throne he was faced by Movila and Zamoyski, was captured and impaled.
