BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY ABOUT PVTR» IOGYL® TO CONTENT. HIS IN SAN ARCHIM. ^1
The city of Lviv, due to its geographical location, was not far from the Moldavian lands; Therefore, the Orthodox Lviv brotherhood, which very often needed material resources, often turned to the same-faith rulers of these lands with a request for financial benefits and almost always received them. The surname Mogil, who, as we have seen, occupied the royal thrones of Moldavia in Wallachia at the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th centuries, had the same friendly relations with the Lvov brotherhood.

The magnificent Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, begun by the Lviv brotherhood in 1591, was erected almost exclusively with its funds.

Laban, which caused so much harm to both warring parties and served as a great temptation for the Orthodox, was stopped with the active participation of Jeremiah *). Other members of the Mogil family had similar friendly relations with the Lvov brotherhood. 0> Peter's son Simeon, having ascended the throne of Moldavia after the death of Jeremiah, but at the request of the Lvov brothers, sent them 1000 zlotys and in a letter dated June 15, 1607, notified that he, like his brother (Jeremiah), would assist the temple builders in their godly grandfather and for the future 2).

The brotherhood expressed its location in the surname Mogil by other signs of friendliness accepted in society.
