Singurul domnitor al Moldovei care a fost și „domn al Țării Ucrainei”. A murit de „inimă rea”, în închisoare • Newsweek România

Gheorghe Duca, a notable Moldavian ruler, held the title of 'domn of Ukraine' for two years and ruled Moldova three times. His reign was marked by efforts to repopulate the country and conflicts with local nobility. Duca's leadership ended tragically when he was imprisoned in Poland, where he died after a stroke, reportedly due to financial distress caused by his wife's failed attempts to secure his release. He is remembered for founding significant religious sites in Iași.
