Peter III Aaron (
Prince) of Moldavia on three occasions: October 1451 to February 1452, August 1454 to February 1455, and May 1455 to April 1457. The first two were during a civil war with Alexăndrel
.
Background
Peter Aaron ascended to the throne after assassinating
Cetatea Albă
.
Peter confirmed his father's commercial privileges awarded to
vassalage to King Casimir IV. In 1456, Peter agreed to pay the Ottomans a tribute of 2,000 gold ducats
, in order to ensure his southern borders, thus becoming the first of the Moldavian rulers to accept the Turkish demands.
The real challenge to his throne came with Bogdan II's son
Matthias Corvinus. Following Matthias's incursion and subsequent defeat at the Battle of Baia
(15 December 1467), Peter was captured and executed.
Peter Aaron issued new
monetary standards.[1]
