"Voevoda" means warrior, usually of higher rank such as commander. Literally, the one who leads in the war.

Very nice piece. Perhaps more of a Shamshir than a Kilij, but who cares, collector-speak only!

One of the more well-known ones was the Voivode Vlad Tepes, Prince of Wallachia, the Drakul, who didn't care much for his Turkish neighbours & gently persuaded some of them to leave his lands when they tried to arrive uninvited at the scene of one of his dinner parties. They apologised and left since he asked them so nicely. |
