NEAMŢ AND ROMAN COUNTY DURING THE FIRST ULLERS OF MUŞAT DINASTY

Summary/Abstract: In this article we have focused on the period when Moldavia was ruled by her first rulers from Dragos-Voda until the reign of Stefan the Great. The reviewed territory is the old regions of Neamt and Roman, which nowadays form, to a great extent, the county of Neamt. During this period ending the “dark Middle Ages”, the history is intertwined with legend and, in the researched area, all the more in the Bistrita and Bicaz valley, at the feet of Ceahlau, the tales, legends, traditions or historical myths are in large number and of special beauty. Our main targets are the first issued chancellery documents, with toponyms created by Romanians and transmitted from generation to generation. The unification of the extra-Carpathian territories and the centralization of the state lead to the building of the chain of fortifications of Moldavia, among them the Citadels of Neamt and of Roman, the first monastic buildings of Neamt and Bistrita were build and the cities of Roman, Targu and Piatra-Neamt were established. Moldavia was preparing for the large Stephanian Epopee.
