Breakdown of Polish influences in Moldavia in second half of 17 th century, along with decline of the authority of hospodars from the Movila family, had not been accepted by Polish--Lithuanian Commonwealth. Poles made attempts at recuperation of Moldavia after war against Moscow, but it finished with disaster at the battle of Cecora in 1620. As a repercussion of this, the war against Turkey began, which ended with an agreement concluded at Chocim in the October of 1621. Poles insisted that the Moldavian throne be occupied by hospodars nominated by Turks, and friendly to Commonwealth. Sultan Osman II disregarded this point of treaty and he returned Moldavia to hospodar Stefan Tomża II, who was not in favour with the Poles. Polish diplomacy took a counter action – Poles wanted Sultan to remove this hospodar and replace him by person, proposed by the Polish king. First attempt undertaken by Prince Krzysztof Zbaraski, grand envoy of the Commonwealth to Sultan, ended in failure. Then, the Poles have withdrew from the promotion of then candidacy of Piotr Movila, who was not wanted by the Turks who supported the candidacy of Radu Mihnea, hospodar of Wallachia. Cooperation with Mihnea managed a deposing of Stefan Tomża in 1623 and the application of more favourable conditions of Chocim treaty. This way, Poland began a reconstruction of its influence in Moldavia – this took place under the short lived government of hospodarMiron Barnowski (1626-1629).

Moldavia in modern age – especially in 16th and 17th centuries – being a tributary to the Ottoman Empire – still caught Polish attention. Both Poles and Turks considered Moldavia as a buffer which needed their attention. Such a situation allowed more ambitious hospodars to balance and keep as large an autonomy as it possibly could. Although Moldavian hospodars had to obey to the Porte, they often kept close diplomatic and even military relationships with Poland. Giving Polish indigenous to hospodars was a good way to keep them in obedience to Poland. This honour was given – among the others – to Miron Barnovski, Vasile Lupu and Gheorghe Ştefan. All these hospodars – although they fought against each other – saw in Poland a guarantor of their power. This article discusses the policy of these hospodars toward Poland and focuses on the circumstances of giving Polish indigenous to these rulers. The article also signals some historical principles ruling the actions of Poles, Moldavian and Turks in this difficult period.
