prince (or voivode) of Moldavia

Life
He preferred the alliance with the
Kiliya in Ukraine) to Hungary, but two other Moldavian chronicles attribute the same act to his predecessor.[4] In October 1449,[3] Hunyadi's other protégé, Bogdan II broke into Moldavia, forcing Alexăndrel to flee.[5][1]
After Bogdan was murdered, Alexăndrel and
Petru Aron divided Moldavia among themselves.[6] Alexăndrel took control of southern Moldavia.[6] He united Moldavia with the support of Hunyadi.[6] He signed a treaty with Hunyadi on 16 February 1453, recognizing him as the protector of Moldavia.[5] Petru Aaron expelled him from Moldavia in March or May 1455.[7]
