Bogdan III the One-Eyed
prince of Moldavia
Quick Summary
Bogdan III the One-Eyed was the prince of Moldavia from 1504 to 1517. He succeeded his father, Stephen the Great, who had successfully defended Moldavia against the Ottoman Turks for many years. Bogdan III, however, was compelled to pay tribute to the Ottoman sultan, marking a shift towards Moldavia becoming an autonomous, tribute-paying vassal-state of the Ottoman Empire by the mid-16th century. Despite this, his reign continued the cultural development seen under his father.12
