The first logofăt of Stephen the Great: Dobrul and his family

Summary/Abstract: One of the first officials of Stephen the Great was Ioan Dobrul, high logofăt in the interval 1457 – 1468. He has been written about even since the inter – war period by historians such as Mihai Costăchescu and I. C. Miclescu-Prăjescu, the latter also having created a genealogical tree of the family Prăjescu, in which he includes Dobrul, emphasizing his ascending branch on the paternal line. This study emphasizes his ascending branch on the maternal line, the relations from his mother’s side to the families Tăbuci and Stârcea, land owners in the county of Cernăuți, the possible relation to Stephen the Great, suggested by the title of honour which is granted to him (vlastelin and jupan) and his capacity of first counsellor (1466), and also the subsequent relations of his descendants, namely to the families Movilă, Stroici and Hâra.
