Balc Moldavia
Edit ProfileCareer
Although Balc was the legitimate pretender to the throne, Bogdan, who had been voivode in Maramureş, crossed the Carpathian Mountains into Moldavia possibly immediately after the death of Sas, before Balc was able to consolidate his reign. In Moldavia, Bogdan joined local forces opposed to the Hungarian monarchy. Following his defeat, Balc fled Moldavia for Hungary.
Later, Balc became the head of Szatmár (Sătmar), Ugocsa and Máramaros (Maramureş) counties in the Kingdom of Hungary, and he was also invested with the title of Count of the Székelys.
Membership
Balc fought valiantly at the head of his men, but he was severely wounded and lost several members of his family and retinue.
