Life

He was the elder son of Simion I Movilă and became prince of Moldova at the death of his father on September 24, 1607. He was thrown from the throne the following month by his cousin Constantin Movilă, pushed by his mother, the ambitious Erzsébet Csomortany de Losoncz, widow of Prince Ieremia Movilă.

He tried to regain his throne in November 1607 but must take refuge the following month in Wallachia where he died.
