Subiect: The death of Ştefan al II-lea (1447) opened the series of killed rulers by their relatives în order to take the Moldavian throne. This moment is the last quarter of the century between the reigning of Alexandru cel Bun and Ştefan cel Mare, a decade that could be considered as "a period of Athrids", as the Romanian great historian, Nicolae Iorga, said. This study refers exactly to this decade and what it meant for Moldavian kingdom.
