Dragoș "reigned for two years", according to the "Anonymous Chronicle of Moldavia" and the "Moldo-Polish Chronicle". Some historians (including Andrei Brezianu and Marcel Popa) write that Dragoș died around 1353. According to historian Dennis Deletant, Dragoș reigned for about seven years (until around 1354). Radu Carciumaru thinks that Dragoș died fighting against the Tatars in 1357. According to Victor Spinei, who accepts the narrative of the majority of the Moldavian chronicles, Dragoș died in about 1361. Dragoș was buried in a church in Volovăț.
