During this period the Romanian lands were characterised by the slow disappearance of the feudal system, the distinguishment of some rulers like Vasile Lupu and Dimitrie Cantemir in Moldavia, Matei Basarab and Constantin Brâncoveanu in Wallachia, Gabriel Bethlen in Transylvania, the Phanariot Epoch, and the appearance of the Russian Empire as a political and military influence.

Gabriel Bethlen Voivode of Transylvania consolidated and enlarged the castle, and gave it to his nephew Stephen Betlen who lived here with his wife Mary Széchy, famed for her beauty.

In August 1619, the chances of Frederick becoming King of Bohemia became greater when Gabriel Bethlen launched an anti-Habsburg revolt in Royal Hungary.

Other possible allies – the Dutch Republic, Charles Emmanuel I, Duke of Savoy, and the Republic of Venice – sent letters saying they would not be able to offer Frederick assistance if he accepted the Bohemian offer ; only Gabriel Bethlen offered words of encouragement.

Wallenstein equipped a regiment of cuirassiers and won great distinction under Charles Bonaventure de Longueval, Count of Bucquoy in the wars against Ernst von Mansfeld and Gabriel Bethlen ( both supporters of the Bohemian revolt ) in Moravia.

In the next decades, the princes of Transylvania, among them Gabriel Bethlen ( 1613 – 1629 ), made several unsuccessful attempts to unify Transylvania, Wallachia and Moldavia.

Gabriel Bethlen ( de Iktár ) (,, ; 1580 – November 15, 1629 ) was a king of Hungary as Gabriel I ( 1620-1621 ), prince of Transylvania ( 1613 – 1629 ), duke of Opole ( 1622 – 1625 ) and leader of an anti-Habsburg insurrection in the Habsburg Royal Hungary.

Gabriel Bethlen, the most famous representative of the Iktári branch of the ancient Hungarian Bethlen family, was born at Marosillye ( today Ilia in Romania ) and educated at Szárhegy ( today Lăzarea in Romania ) at the castle of his uncle András Lázár.

Bethlen also supported Bocskay's successor Gabriel Báthory ( 1608 – 1613 ), but the prince became jealous of Bethlen's superior abilities and Bethlen was obliged to take refuge with the Turks of the Ottoman Empire.
