Mihai Viteazul şi Andronic Cantacuzino

  • Subiect: Mihai Viteazu & Andronic Cantacuzino The prince of Wallachia Mihai Viteazu (1593-1601) was helped by Andronikos Cantacuzenus to obtain the throne. The latter was the descendant of Byzantine Basileus Johannes VI Cantacuzenus (1341-1354). He held a position of power at the sultan's court in Istanbul. He actually did support Michael to get the 400.000 ducats in order to succeed as a claimant for the Wallachia throne. Prince Michael appointed Andronikos Cantacuzino high treasurer after becoming the country ruler in September 1593. The Turks of Istanbul tried to revenge on Andronic. They failed. Andronikos returned to Wallachia and became one of the prince chief councilor. He was even entrusted with the education of the ruler's son, prince Nicolae Patrascu. Also, Prince Mihai Viteazu commissioned him to conclude the peace with the sultan in 1600. Instead, the Ottomans imprisoned and eventually executed him.
