Not to be confused with his nephew of the same name, but better known as Antiochus Cantemir.
Antioh Cantemir (4 December 1670 – 1726), better known in English by the anglicized form Antioch Cantemir,[1] was a Moldaviannoble who ruled as voivode of Moldavia (18 December 1695 – 12 September 1700 and 23 February 1705 – 31 July 1707).
Duca was deposed after two years for late payments of tribute and for having executed an inspecting kapucu. Antioch began to rule but was eventually deposed through the machinations of the Wallachian voivode. Upon the return of Duca, the Cantemirs fled the country, returning to resume rule after Duca again fell into disgrace and lost Brâncoveanu's friendship. Antioch's second period of rule was preceded and followed by voivodeships of his brother-in-law Mihai Racoviță.[3]
