He attained the throne of Wallachia in 1616 but he remained unrecognized by the Ottoman government that preferred Alexandru IV Iliaş. He obtained his appointment in June 1618 but was replaced in July 1620 by Radu IX Mihnea.
He retired to Transylvania where he died. He had married a Hungarian noble Erzébet Zolyomy. The couple probably remained childless.
