  JewishEncyclopedia.com - RUMANIA:   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
Alexander Lapushneanu (1552-61) cruelly treated the Jews until he was dethroned by Jacob Heraclides, a Greek, who was lenient to his Jewish subjects.
When peace was at last restored both princes, Alexander Mavrocordatos of Moldavia and Nicholas Mavrogheni of Wallachia, pledged their special protection to the Jews, whose condition remained favorable until 1787, when the Janizaries on one side and the Russians on the other invaded Rumania and vied with each other in butchering the Jews.
From the beginning of the reign of Alexander Cuza (1859-66), the first ruler of the united principalities, the Jews became a prominent factor in the politics of the country.

 Elias Schwartzfeld - The Jews of Romania
The exactions of Alexander Lapushneanu (1552-1561), a cruel tyrant, were so severe that the Jews uttered shouts of joy when he was dethroned by Jacob Heraklides, despot of islands in the Ægean, whose reign was favorable to the Jews.
The secretary of Alexander Mircha (1567-1577) was Isaiah ben Joseph, whom he dismissed, probably in 1573, in consequence of intrigues conducted by the Duke of Naxos to dethrone Alexander and put himself in his place.
Alexander Ypsilante was appointed in Wallachia (1774-1782), and Gregory Alexander Ghika for the second time in Moldavia (1774-1777).

Alexander Mavrocordatos, the best educated and least corrupt of the leaders, had given up his post as head of the legislative branch, under threats from Kolkotrones, and had fled to the island of Hydra.
Byron wisely did not ally himself with any action -he soon found out that a lot of Greeks were excellent liars who had set their eyes on his money only- and made every effort to unite the Greeks for their fight against the Turks.
Byron committed himself to aid Mavrocordatos and the forces of western Greece, which hoped to conquer the remaining Turkish forts on the north and south sides of the Gulf of Corinth.

He was pointed Dragoman or interpreter to the Ports, and, proving an able and faithful servant, he was permitted to nominate his successor Alexander Mavrocordato, who is said by some to have been a common labourer and to have married a butcher's daughter, whilst others call him a silk-dealer of Constantinople or of Chio.
Although Nicholas Mavrocordato is chiefly referred to as the first Phanariote Prince of Wallachia, in 1776, a comparison of the authorities (Engel, Wilkinson, Neigebaur, andc.) shows that he had already ruled in Moldovia since 1712.

 A Quantonics Review of 'William James Sidis, The Broken Twig,' by Kathleen Montour of Johns Hopkins University
Once, as a test of his ability, someone spelled out "Prince Mavrocordatos, a friend of Byron" in alphabet blocks before him.
A week later William was asked "What was the name of Byron's friend I spelled out for you?" He answered immediately producing the phrase, thereby demonstrating that, besides his amazing memory, he did more than recognize strings of letters he had "read.""
She goes on to exemplify Alexander Graham Bell as one who did have a breakdown and went on to become phenomenally successful, and she tells us that it is not unusual.
