Individual evidence

  1. ↑ The origin is not clear, the son Vasile Lupu was described by Dimitrie Cantemir as an Albanian around 1700 . See Ioan Bolovan: A History of Romania . Center for Romanian Studies, 1997. p. 287. [Vasile Lupu] was an Albanian from Arbanasi, probably with distant origin from Epirus, a region of mixed population. The majority of the population of the famous region is Greek and Albanian, but there live also thousands of "real Epirotes", the Romanian-speaking Vlachs of Pindus. This has served as a base for fabrications according to which Lupu was a Greek or a Vlach (Aromanian).
