Constantin Sion
Constantin Sion (1796–1862) was a Moldavian chronicler. The fifth son of court official (bașceauș) Iordache Sion and his wife Catrina (née Danu), he was the descendant of free peasants (răzeși).

Together with his brothers Antohi and Costache, he composed the forged Izvodul lui Clănău or Chronicle of Huru. This was meant to prove the Sions' noble origin, and included an imaginary family tree. The brothers vehemently opposed the Union of the Princip
