Barbu Catargiu (26 October 1807 – 20 June [O.S. 8 June] 1862) was a conservative Romanian politician and journalist. He was the first Prime Minister of Romania, in 1862, until he was assassinated on 20 June that year. He was a staunch defender of the great estates of the boyars,[1] and notably originated the conservative doctrine that "feudalism in Romania had never existed".[2]
