Michael the Brave (Mihai Viteazu, c.1558-1601), one of Romania's greatest national heroes. As Prince of Wallachia (1593–1601), Prince of Moldavia (1600) and de facto ruler of Transylvania (1599–1600), he was the first to rule over all principalities inhabited by Romanians. He was assassinated by an ally under the orders of Habsburg Emperor Rudolph II. The portrait is mis-identified as Gheorghe ?tefan, Prince of Moldavia (d.1668).
