Peter VI (also referred to as the Cossack; ro, Petru Cazacul) was
Prince of
Moldavia between August 1592
and 25 October 1592.
His nickname comes from his good relation with the
Zaporozhian Cossacks.
The data about his origin are uncertain. It is believed that he was the son of
Alexandru Lăpuşneanu.
Peter Cossack was killed on 25 October 1592 by
strangulation.
