Prince of Moldavia during 1607
Mihail Movilă (? – 1608) was the prince of Moldavia for a short time in 1607.
Life
He was the elder son of Simion I Movilă and became prince of Moldova after the death of his father in September 1607.[2]
He was thrown from the throne the following month[citation needed] by his cousin Constantin Movilă, pushed by his mother,[clarification needed] the ambitious Erzsébet Csomortany de Losoncz, widow of Prince Ieremia Movilă.[3]
He tried to regain his throne in November 1607 but was forced into exile the following month in the court of Radu Șerban in Wallachia, where he eventually died.[4]
