Stephen III, commonly known as Stephen the Great (Romanian[1]: Ștefan cel Mare; pronunciation: [ˈʃtefan tʃel ˈmare][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]); died on 2 July 1504), was Voivode (or Prince)[10] of Moldavia[11] from 1457 to 1504. He was the son of and co-ruler with Bogdan II[12], who was murdered in 1451 in a conspiracy organized by his brother and Stephens uncle Peter III Aaron[13], who took the throne. Stephen fled to Hungary[14], and later to Wallachia[15]; with the support of Vlad III Țepeș[16], Voivode of Wallachia[17], he returned to Moldavia, forcing Aaron to seek refuge in Poland[18] in the summer of 1457. Teoctist I[19], Metropolitan of Moldavia[20], anointed[21] Stephen prince. He attacked Poland and prevented Casimir IV Jagiellon[22], King of Poland[23], from supporting Peter Aaron, but eventually acknowledged Casimirs suzerainty in 1459.
