Claudia Florentina Dobre states in this booklet, "Mendicants in Moldavia: Mission in an Orthodox Land", that religion played an important part in the creation of the Moldavian medieval political entity. Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Hussitism and Protestantism sought religious and political influence in medieval Moldavia. Agents of the Catholic Church, the mendicant orders were active players in this struggle for power. This booklet describes the Franciscans and Dominicans strategies and goals in Moldavia from the thirteenth century to the late fifteenth century. It outlines the main stages of the friars' mission, their accomplishments and their failures.
