  Wikipedia: Alexander John Cuza
Cuza belonged to the traditional noble (boiar) class, the Orthodox Christian Romanian upper class that had come into control of the local governments of Wallachia and Moldavia, and retained traditional control of the country's land, the only key to pre-industrial wealth.
Cuza was a prominent speaker in the debates and strongly advocated the union of the two Danubian principalities, Moldavia and Walachia.
Cuza was not a diplomatic politician, let alone a prince, but he knew how to choose progressive ministers and had an intelligent ear for advice.

 Alexander John Cuza - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexandru Ioan Cuza (March 20, 1820, Galaţi - May 15, 1873, Heidelberg), more commonly known in English as Alexander John Cuza, was the domnitor (ruler) of the United Principalites of Romania between 1859 and 1866.
Afterwards however, following a brief career in the Moldavian army, he became minister of war in 1858, and represented Galaţi in the assembly at Iaşi, acting under the guarantee of the European Powers in the wake of the Crimean war to nominate a prince for Moldavia.
The Powers backtracked, Napoleon III of France remaining supportive, while the reactionary Austro-Hungarian ministry withheld approval of such a union at the Congress of Paris (October 18, 1858); partly as a consequence Cuza's authority was not recognized by his nominal suzerain, the sultan of Turkey, until the December 23, 1861.
