Reign
The Prince's reign was marked by excessive and highly inventive taxing, motivated by the increasing debt and his ambition to accumulate a sizable personal fortune on the side. Iancu was to go down in history as the mind behind the much-hated văcărit tax, whereby every tenth head of cattle was confiscated by the state (vacă is Romanian for "cow").

estates in Transylvania, but he was arrested on his passage through Poland
and decapitated in Lviv.
Iancu Sasul fathered a son, Bogdan Sasul (mentioned in 1596), and two daughters: Chrisotina (married to a certain Antonios Katakalos) and Maria (married to the Venetian nobleman Giovanni Zane).
