Csupor de Monoszló (Romanian: Ciubăr Vodă) was a Hungarian aristocrat of Croatian origin, a commander of John Hunyadi's troops[1] that were sent to support Petru III in gaining the Moldavian throne from Roman II.
Ciubăr Vodă governed Moldavia for about two months after the unexpected death of Petru possibly at the end of January 1449, as in February, Alexăndrel took the Moldavian throne for the first time.
[2] He is only mentioned by Grigore Ureche, as ruler of Moldova for two months after Petru III of Moldavia.
Iorga opined that Ciubăr/Csupor was Alexander I's relative and claimed that otherwise the Moldavian boyars would not have accepted a Hungarian commander, but only an individual of princely kin.
Iorga also insisted that Ciubar is not a nickname, but a name of a court marshal Ciope, who lived around 1451, whose name would have given the forms of the name Ciopel, Ciopor, Ciobâr, which would mean "the Devil" (Dracul).
