Summary/Abstract: The present study attempts to shed light on an issue that has not been researched in depth in the field of Cantemirology, and mainly the analysis of the relationship between the two prominent politicians of the 18th centurythe rulers of the Moldavian and Wallachian Principalities, Dimitrie Cantemir and Constantin Brâncoveanu. Based on newly discovered archival documents, along with documental publications and particular research, the author attempts to fill in the gaps and eliminate inconsistencies that are occasionally facing the surface in publications dedicated to their relations. Moreover, there was an attempt of answering the question of this relationship’s characteristic - an enmity or rather a rivalry.
