Constantin Brâncoveanu [1654 – 1714] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantin_Br%C3%A2ncoveanu . . . music: youtu.be/98VKFIjXRp4 The Ballad of Constantin Brancoveanu [traditional folk song] Through his death, Constantin Brâncoveanu became the hero of a series of Romanian folk ballads. Brâncoveanu was deposed from his throne by Sultan Ahmed III after several failed attempts to separate Wallachia from the Ottoman Empire, and brought under arrest to Istanbul/Constantinople, where he was imprisoned at the fortress of Yedikule (the Seven Towers). There he was tortured by the Ottomans, who hoped to locate the immense fortune he had supposedly amassed. He and his four sons were beheaded on the same day in August together with Prince Constantin's faithful friend, grand treasurer Enache Văcărescu. The song describes their arrest, imprisonment and Brancoveanu watching his sons die one by one. The execution of Constantin and his family happened on 15 August 1714, at İftar Kiosk („the kiosk at the sea”) Topkapi Palace, on the day of the Dormition of Our Lady, the very day when he turned 60 years and his wife celebrating her namesday. Sultan Ahmed III commanded a „grandiose ceremony” in order to humiliate his adversaries. Together with him were present also the ambassadors of France, England, Austria and Russia, who were invited to see his manifestation of power. Constantin was brought here not alone, but with his four sons Constantin, Radu, Ştefan and Matei and his confident Ianache Văcărescu. The sultan permitted them a last prayer and offered them one more chance to convert to Islam. The Italian chronicler Antonio Del Chiaro noted the answer of Constantine: „Your majesty, you have taken my fortune, but I don’t abandon my Christian law. I was born and lived in it and I want to die in it (=as Christian). I filled the earth of my country with Christian churches and, now, attaining an old age, should I bow to your Turkish mosques? No, your Highness! I defended my land, I kept my faith I want to close my eyes in my faith and my sons together with me”. After that, he encouraged his sons „My children, have courage! I lost everything I had on this earthly world. We have left only our souls, we shall not lose them too, but we shall get them clean before our Savior Jesus Christ. Let’s wash our sins with our blood!” According to his secretary, Anton Maria Del Chiaro, their heads were then carried on poles through the streets of Istanbul/Constantinople, an episode which caused a great unrest in the city. Fearing a rebellion, including from that of the Muslim population which was outraged by the injustice done to the Prince, his sons and his close friend, ordered for the bodies to be thrown into the Bosphorus. Christian fishermen took the bodies from the water, and buried them at the Halki Monastery, in the city's vicinity. According to the Romanian Orthodox Church, the reason for his and his sons' execution was their refusal to give up their Christian faith and convert to Islam. Historical accounts and traditional folk songs say they were offered the chance of staying alive by converting to Islam. The youngest son of 11 -Matei/Matthew- is said to have briefly agreed to convert to Islam to stay alive after seeing his three brothers being beheaded before him, but his father urged him not to lose his Christian faith along with everything else they lost, and regaining his courage he died too. In 1992 the Church declared Brancoveanu, his sons, and Enache saints and martyrs. . . . photo: ex-voto mural [votive painting] of Brancoveanu family as main donors at Hurezi monastery tablou votiv cu Constantin Brancoveanu si familia la Hurezi Mânăstirea Hurezi [1690 - 1709] Hurezi Monastery Monastery of Horezu www.monumenteromania.ro/index.php/monumente/detalii/en/Ma...
