Matei Vlădescu

Matei Vlădescu (February 2, 1835 – January 23, 1901) was a Wallachian-born Romanian soldier.
Born in Târgoviște, Dâmbovița County,[1] he entered the Bucharest Military School for Officers in 1854, becoming a second lieutenant in 1856. He rose to lieutenant (1860), captain (1863), major (1866), lieutenant-colonel (1870), colonel (1873), brigadier general (1883), and major general (1893). A participant in the Romanian War of Independence, he commanded units on the front at Pleven and Vidin.[1][2]
From November 1889 to February 1891, Vlădescu served as War Minister in the cabinet of Gheorghe Manu.[3] In 1892, he was named chief of staff to the royal household. He was awarded the Order of the Star of Romania.[1][2][dead link] Vlădescu died in Bucharest in 1901. He is buried in the cemetery of Viforâta Monastery [ro], with a funerary monument sculpted by Carol Storck.[4][1]
A street in Târgoviște is named after him.
