	Matei Basarab Information
		Matei Basarab (1588, Brâncoveni, Olt—April 9 1654, Bucharest) was a Wallachian Voivode (Prince) between 1632 and 1654.
		Matei Basarab's rule also coincides with the last stage in the decay of the lesser nobilty, the result of political pressure from boyars and drastic economical changes (the revolt of the seimeni military under Constantin Şerban probably has this as its main cause).
		Matei Basarab and his contemporary, the Moldavian Prince Vasile Lupu are credited with introducing the first written laws of the two Principalities.

	Prince Matei Basarab
		But Matei Basarab’s most outstanding accomplishments are related to the vast cultural work that he embarked upon, which may be compared to that of Neagoe Basarab (1512-1521), whose political and dynastic model he followed, and to Constantin Brâncoveanu’s (1688-1714), descended, like he was, from the Brâncoveni family of boyars.
		Matei Basarab was the greatest church founder of the Romanian people, as in his time were erected and restored over 115 churches and monasteries both in Wallachia and abroad.
		The architecture of Matei Basarab’s churches and monasteries epitomizes the Wallachian art style in the 17th century, which is coherent and unitary.
