Bogdan I the Founder (Romanian: Bogdan Întemeietorul) was the third or fourth voivode of Moldavia (c. 1363 – c. 1367). He and his successors established the independence of Moldavia freeing the territory east of the Carpathian Mountains of Hungarian and Tatar domination.His contribution to the constitution of the autonomous Moldavian state ignored by the Slavo-Romanian chronicles is reflected by the name of Kara-Boğdan attributed by the Turks to Moldavia.
