Costas of Dalmatia... (See Below) Descendant of Ladislaus IV Kumanian and Marie Elizabeth Capet of Sicily. (House of Capet-Arpad) Allied with the Capet Emperors in extending the Capet rule to Dalmatia and later to the Black Sea.
His father Costea/Costas (Charles) was likely the son of either Ladislaus IV and Marie Capet, or else Charles II Capet and Maria Arpad. It is unlikely that he is the same person as Kalman (Solomon), although they were no doubt related either uncle/nephew or even (as some might suggest) father/son.
Costea Muşat (Muşatin) - правитель (господарь) Молдавского княжества в 1373—1374 годах, первый правитель из рода Мушатов.
Мушат - в перекладі з румунської Красивий.
The name as Musatin can be literally translated to Bridgekeeper. The coat of arms of the family is preserved in a coin struck during the reign of his son Peter. The arms reveal a link to the a branch of the house of Capet-Arpad, as well as a link to the defunct order of Knights Templar.
~18 mm diameter, ~0.97 g, silver On The Reverse: Coat of arms of the Muşatin family: inside a pearl circle, shield split vertically; two bars at right and seven fleurs-de-lis at left (heraldic positioning) [Capet-Arpad], partially visible outer pearl circle Legend: +SI MOLDAVIENSI
On the Obverse: Moldavian coat of arms with urus head bearing a five ray star between its horns, the uneven ray pointing down, waxing half moon (i.e. a properly called crescent) at right and a five petal rose at left, the odd petal pointing down (heraldic positioning) [Baphomet, astrainvertus, and tuduros, all symbols used by the Knights Templar and Roscrucians]. Legend: +SIM PETRI WOIWO
Note that this is a reverse impression image. The actual minted coin would have appeared with the Capet Fleur-d-Lys positioned on the left or male side of the shield with the Arpad bars on the right or female side, indicating a likelihood that interloper Costea Musat was a scion of the Capet family and quite possibly a royally appointed court official who ended up marrying into the Moldavian royal line. Furthermore records of greater antiquity indicate a prince with a similar first name (Kostas) as the regent of a division of the Pecheneg tribes of North Eastern Caucasus. There may be some familial relationship although at this time it cannot be proven.
The whole of Patzinakia is divided into eight provinces with the same number of great princes. The provinces are these: the name of the first province is Irtim; of the second, Tzour; of the third, Gyla; of the fourth, Koulpei; of the fifth, Charaboi; of the sixth, Talmat; of the seventh, Chopon; of the eighth, Tzopon. At the time at which the Pechenegs were expelled from their country, their princes were, in the province of Irtim, Baitzas; in Tzour, Konel; in Gyla, Kourkoutai; in Koulpei, Ipaos; in Charaboi, Kaidoum; in the province of Talmat, Kostas; in Chopon, Giazis; in the province of Tzopon, Batas."
(Constantine Porphyrogenitus, De Administrando Imperio, c. 950, translation by R.J.H. Jenkins)
Talmat can be identified as Dalmatia with a Prince named Kostas prior to 950 CE. These princes when expelled were dispersed into regions westward where they founded local dynasties as Dukes and Barons in exile (if they were lucky). In 1261, the Genovese of North Western Italy (Province of Legare/Liguria) and the Pisans were the only two European states with exclusive trading rights in the Moldovian/Black Sea Region. The correspondence and writings of Petrus Musatin of Moldavia are written in the local dialect of Genova and Tuscany.
