Les Saragele – une categorie moins connue d’employes militaires des voïvodes en Valachie et en Moldavie (XVII-XVIIe siecles)

Summary/Abstract: During the war with the Habsburgs between 1593-1606, the Ottomans also used a new military category, known as the Turkish saric or sariğa, according to the yellow color of the flags and the vestments worn by them. It was about mercenary rides, recruited by Ottomans among ethnic Balkan elements converted to Muslim religion. They also appear in the Romanian Lands, first in Valahia (1631), and then in Moldavia (1686). Based on historical and narrative documents from the 17th-18th centuries, we will try to reconfigure in this article their staff, their organization and their attributions, as well as other important aspects.
