Sublime Porte
The Sublime Porte, also known as the Ottoman Porte or High Porte ( or ''Babıali''; ), was a synecdoche or metaphor used to refer collectively to the central government of the Ottoman Empire in Istanbul. It is particularly referred to the building which housed the office of the Grand Vizier, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of the Interior, and the Supreme Council of Judicial Ordinances. Today it houses the office of the Istanbul governerate. History The name has its origins in the old practice in which the ruler announced his official decisions and judgements at the gate of his palace. This was the practice in the Byzantine Empire and it was also adopted by Ottoman Turk sultans since Orhan I. The palace of the sultan, or the gate leading to it, therefore became known as the "High Gate". This name referred first to a palace in Bursa, Turkey. After the Ottomans had conquered Constantinople, now Istanbul, the gate now known as the Imperial Gate (), leading to the outerm ...

Leon Tomșa
Leon Tomșa, also known as Leon Vodă ("Leon the Voivode") or Alion, was the List of rulers of Wallachia, Prince of Wallachia from October 1629 to July 1632. He claimed to be a son of Ștefan IX Tomșa, and as such a Moldavian, but was generally identified as a Greeks in Romania, Greek of lowly origins, and reportedly an Oyster farming, oyster-monger. He was imposed on the throne by the Ottoman Empire, one of a line of Princes who were primarily subservient to Ottoman power. In his first year, he also supported the political ascendancy of Greeks and Levantines, many of whom made their way into Wallachia's traditional aristocracy, or Boyars of Wallachia and Moldavia, boyardom. This upset the local boyars, who were further alienated and impoverished by Leon's fiscal policies, which in turn reflected Ottoman demands for tribute. The regime was threatened by an Oltenia-centered rebellion, initially led by ''Ban (title), Ban'' Aslan, and later by Matei Basarab. Though often depicted as ...

Matei Basarab
Matei Basarab (; 1588, Brâncoveni, Olt – 9 April 1654, Bucharest) was the voivode (prince) of Wallachia from 1632 to 1654. Reign Much of Matei's reign was spent fighting off incursions from Moldavia, which he successfully accomplished in 1637, 1639, and 1653 – see Battle of Finta. He was an enlightened ruler, and is noted for introducing the printing press to Wallachia (1634) and creating the first Wallachian code of laws as well as patronizing art and religion (founder of the first upper school in his Principality). He built more than 45 churches and monasteries, being compared to Stephen the Great, the famous ruler of Moldavia. His election in 1632 signified the first official exception to a rule set by custom. Basarab was merely a boyar (of the Craiovești family) and one not related to previous Princes (although it seems that a similar point can be made about such rulers as Michael the Brave). The reason for this choice has been explained as a reaction of indigeno ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
George I Rákóczi
George I Rákóczi (8 June 1593 – 11 October 1648) was Prince of Transylvania from 1630 until his death in 1648. Prior to that, he was a leader of the Protestant faction in Hungary and a faithful supporter of Gabriel Bethlen, his predecessor as Prince. When Bohemian nobles requested military support in their struggles against the Habsburg monarchy, Rákóczi persuaded Bethlen to help and commanded Transylvanian forces in several battles. Rákóczi was elected prince after Bethlen's death, after short reigns by Bethlen's wife Catherine of Brandenburg (reigned 1629–1630) and brother Stephen Bethlen (reigned September – December 1630). Rákóczi's reign was notable for his involvement in the Thirty Years War, with a 1644–45 campaign against Ferdinand III, Holy Roman Emperor. After Rákóczi held Upper Hungary and most of Lower Hungary at one point, the fighting was ended by the Treaty of Linz, under which seven counties of Upper Hungary – Abaúj, Bereg, Borsod, Szabo ...

Prince Of Transylvania
The Prince of Transylvania (, , , Fallenbüchl 1988, p. 77.) was the head of state of the Principality of Transylvania from the late-16th century until the mid-18th century. John Sigismund Zápolya was the first to adopt the title in 1570, but its use only became stable from 1576. Origins The integration of Transylvania into the newly established Kingdom of Hungary began around 1003. The province became subject to intensive colonization, leading to the arrival and settlement of colonists of diverse origin, including the Hungarian-speaking Székelys and the Ethnic Germans. The territory of Transylvania was divided for administrative reasons within territorial units known as "counties" and "seats". The seven Transylvanian counties ( Doboka, Fehér, Hunyad, Kolozs, Küküllő, Szolnok, and Torda County) were institutions primarily run by local noblemen. However, their heads or '' ispáns''Makkai 1994, p. 207. were subject to the authority of a higher official, th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Plumbuita Monastery
The Plumbuita Monastery () is a Romanian Orthodox monastery located at 58 Plumbuita Street in Bucharest, Romania. Its church is dedicated to Saint John the Baptist. History One narrative holds that the monastery was founded by Prince Vlad VI Înecatul in 1531. In order to rid himself of ''boyar'' opponents, the ruler had sent them to support his Moldavian counterpart in fighting Poland at the Battle of Obertyn. Work in masonry began on the very spot from which the standard-bearers had ridden away. Mircea the Shepherd served as '' Ispravnic'', while the head workman was Dan of Argeș. Reportedly, after Vlad was assassinated by drowning the following year, his widow Ana ordered that the construction site be sealed with lead (''plumbuită''). It remained thus until the reign of her nephew, Peter the Younger, with involvement from Doamna Chiajna, her sister and Peter's mother. Another version suggests Radu Paisie as '' ktetor''.
