Peter Aaron, an illegitimate son of Alexander the Good, came to power in 1451 by murdering Bogdan II and alternated on the throne with Alexăndrel until 1455. In 1456 he agreed to pay tribute to the Ottoman Sultan, the first Moldavian ruler to do so. Stephen the Great overthrew him in 1457 and later had him executed.
