Abstract

The image of the rulers of Moldova as seen by turkish chroniclers. The present article aims to analyze the image of rulers of Moldavia from the perspective of the Turkish chronicles, during 15th to 17th centuries. These sources represent an important study object in understanding the political and military relations between Moldavia and the Ottoman Empire. The Turkish chronicles reflect Ottoman perceptions and interpretations of Moldavian rulers, whose political and social portraits are often filtered through the lens of diplomatic, military and economic relations. The study analyzes how these chronicles describe the rulers of Moldavia, highlighting the features that marked them from Turkish perspective and the impact of these perceptions on their historical image.
