I understand. In Rom. there is never used a such kind of denomination
for own rulers. There is allways just "the king"
(actually voevodul nostru. If the one was still alive as the writer
wrote , the writer used "Mãria sa" instead of "voevod". "Mãria sa"= His
Majesty)

That remembers me of Anna Comnena:"these Scythians!!! Allways bearing
other names but being allways the same":-))))
Pretty funny mixture in the frontier area there, aren't they?:-)

Sorry for my ignorance. It seems I am indeed a descendant of some people
who never heard of "Senatus" , even if they should be "populus Romanus".
Don't wonder, these people even don't have the word "senex" for "old"
but the another one from some free becoming and around vagabunding
"veterans":-)
