Simion Movilă (after 1559

Prince of Moldavia from July 1606 until his death.[6]

Family

He was the grandson of

Petru Rareș,[15] younger brother of Ieremia Movilă,[9][13] and father of Petro Mohyla, who became the Metropolitan of Kiev, Halych and All-Rus'[a] from 1633 until his death, and later was canonized as a saint in the Russian, Romanian and Polish Orthodox Churches.[10]

Biography

In the early 1580s, Simion, along with his brothers, built Sucevița Monastery.[14][18][19]

In October 1600,[1] he was put on the throne of Wallachia by Polish forces.[20]

In August 1602, Simion was defeated by Radu Șerban and forced into exile to Moldavia.[4]

After the death of his brother Ieremia in July 1606, Simion gained the Moldavian throne.[6] By making rich gifts, Simion managed to be recognized by the sultan. While he was ruler of Moldavia, he had hostile relations with the Poles.[citation needed]

Death

He died on September 14, 1607, after a reign of only a year and a few months. His death was suspected to be the result of poisoning,[21] which only further inflamed tensions around succession.[7][22] This eventually spiralled into war, which was eventually won by his son Mihail after Polish support.[6]

Simion was buried at the Sucevița Monastery.[23]
