Grigore Alexandrescu

Grigore Alexandrescu was born in Târgoviște into a boyar family, on 22 February 1810 (in 1814 according to Agerpres); Luciana Chiric notes that the registers vary between 1810, 1812 and 1814. A pupil at the Saint Sava college, where he met Ion Ghica, he published his first verses in 1832 and in 1848 supported the revolutionaries. According to Agerpres, he then held several public offices, after which a serious mental illness, which struck after his marriage in 1860, removed him from public life. He died in Bucharest on 25 November 1885.
