VOIVODE (also Vaivode, Vayvode, Wayvode, &c., Med. Gr. oe 68os)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 178 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
VOIVODE (also Vaivode, Vayvode, Wayvode, &c., Med. Gr. oe 68os) , a
title
  in use among certain
Slavonic
  peoples, meaning literally "
leader
  of an army " (S1. voi, host, army; voiditi, to lead), and so applied at various periods and in various eastern
European
  countries to rulers,
governors
  or officials of varying degree. It is best known as the
title
  of the princes of Moldavia and Wallachia. In these states the title remained in use from the earliest times until 1658 in the
case
  of the first state, and until 1716 in that of the second, when it gave way to Hospodar (q.v.). During the period of Hungarian domination of Transylvania (10041526) it was governed by a
voivode
  as an Hungarian province, the last
voivode
  raising himself to the position of an independent prince. In Poland the title was used of certain administrative officials;
Polish
  historians latinized it by palatinus. At the present day voivode is used, in its
original
  sense of a high military officer, in the Montenegrin . army, where it corresponds to the
general
  officer in other
European
  armies.
