Constantin Movilă (1594 – July 1612) is the Prince of Moldavia from 1607 to 1611.[1] The son of Prince Ieremia Movilă and driven by his mother, the ambitious Erszébet Csomortany de Losoncz, he twice seized the Moldovan throne at the expense of his cousin Mihai Movilă, son of Simion I Movilă in 1607.[2]
In 1610 he welcomed Prince Radu X Șerban of Wallachia who was exiled. The following year he was dethroned by Ștefan Tomșa, the second son of the ephemeral prince of Moldova, Ștefan VII Tomșa.
As a refugee in Poland, he attempted to regain the throne leading an army assembled by his Polish brothers-in-law.[3] Defeated at the Battle of Cornul lui Sas, he had to pass the Dniester river again, but once on the left side of the bank, he was captured by the Tatars. He escaped but then drowned in the river in July 1612 at the age of about 17[4]
