The Septilici (also spelled Şaptelici, Şeptelici) was a noble family[1][2][page needed][3] from Bukovina, Moldavia (currently Ukraine, Moldova, Romania). Known for their contributions to the political, military and cultural life of the region, the Septilici family played a significant role in the history of Moldavia, especially in the medieval and early modern periods.[4][2][page needed][5]

Origins

edit

The origins of the Septilici family date back to the 15th century.[6] House of Septilici was included by Dimitrie Cantemir among the most important boyar families of Moldova.[2][page needed][7] Regarding the seniority of the Septilici, the ruler was not wrong, as well as regarding their nobility. The name of the family appears in internal documents as early as the 16th century, with reference to the reign of Petru Vodă Rareș.[2][page needed]

Assasination of the King

edit

One of the most controversial events in which the noble family was involved is the assassination of ruler Gașpar Graziani (ruler of Moldavia between 1619 and 1620).[8]

According to historical accounts, members of the Septilici and Goia families conspired against Graziani because of his dangerous policies and authoritarian tendencies. They saw in his elimination a way to prevent a possible Ottoman invasion and restore order in the principality.[2][page needed]

His death was a landmark event in Moldovan history, and the Septelici family apparently played a significant role in the plot that led to his murder.[2][page needed]
