Abstract

The following presentation is focused on the analysis of the careers of the officials from the Principality of Moldova, who served as governors of Chilia in various stages of their activity. After the conquest of this Danubian fortification by Stephen the Great in 1465, a number of representatives of the Voivode’s council ruled here until the Ottoman campaign of Sultan Bayazid II in 1484. The purpose of the presentation is to establish the possible criteria for choosing the candidates for the position of the governor of Chilia, as well as the impact of this position on the careers of the governors during the reign of Stephen the Great.
