[edit]I created this page for the sole reason to justify my deletion of misinterpreted dates at Bucharest and some other pages. I have no clue in Rumanian history, so the pieces and bits I collected using google may be incorrect. mikka (t) 18:46, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
How about the alleged Slavic origin of the name Radu ? "Radost" means "joy" in Slavic languages and this might be a plausible origin of the Romanian name Radu. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 15.195.185.82 (talk) 14:02, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Some dubious statement
[edit]The article writes of an alleged persecution of the Orthodox Romanians in the last decades of the 13th century in the Kingdom of Hungary ("...in 1289, the Kingdom of Hungary forced all nobles (including those in Transylvania) to adhere to the Roman Catholic Church, an act which could have determined the ethnic Romanian potentates to seek out new lands)." Is there any source based on which this statement could be substantiated? Moreover, the Cantacuzino Chronicle (that is the chronicle in which the earliest version of Radu Negru's legend was recorded) clearly refers to "Romanians, Saxons, papists and many others" among the people who followed Radu Negru. Therefore, the retinue of the prince who is claimed to have been persecuted by the Catholics comprised of both Orthodox and Catholic followers. There is another Romanian legend (the legends connected to Roman and Vlahata and Dragos) that refers to the persecution of the Orthodox Romanians, but not within the Kingdom of Hungary, but before their migration to Hungary.
