Aventurierul grec ajuns domn al Moldovei. A vrut să unească cele trei Țări Române înainte de Mihai Viteazul • Newsweek România

A Greek adventurer, Despot Vodă, briefly ruled Moldavia and aimed to unite the three Romanian principalities before Mihai Viteazul. His ambitious plans included a campaign against the Ottomans and a personal union through marriage, but political changes thwarted his efforts. After a brief reign, he was defeated and killed by local nobles, yet his legacy was romanticized in literature.
