| Additional information |
Alexandru Ioan Cuza was elected ruler of both Moldavia and Wallachia in January 1859 — separately, by two different assemblies, in a constitutional sleight of hand that effectively unified the two Danubian Principalities without requiring Ottoman or great-power approval for outright merger. The maneuver caught everyone off guard. His subsequent reign pushed through land reform and secularization of monastery estates, the latter stripping the Greek Orthodox Church of roughly a quarter of Romania's arable land.
He was deposed in a coup in 1866, forced to abdicate at gunpoint by a coalition of political enemies who then imported a German prince to replace him.
