Litovoi,[1] also Litvoy,[2] was a Vlach/Romanian voivode in the 13th century whose territory comprised northern Oltenia in today's Romania.[3]
He is mentioned for the first time in the Diploma of the Joannites issued by king Béla IV of Hungary (1235–1270) on 2 July 1247.[2] The diploma granted territories to the Knights Hospitaller in the Banate of Severin and Cumania, “with the exception of the land of the kenazate of Voivode Litovoi,” which the king left to the Vlachs “as they had held it”.[2]
