Alexandru Dimitrie Ghica[1] (1 May 1796[2] – January 1862), a member of the Ghica family, was Prince of Wallachia from April 1834 to 7 October 1842 and later caimacam (regent) from July 1856 to October 1858.[citation needed]

Family

He was son of Demetriu Ghica and Eufrosine Caradja.[3] His brothers were Grigore IV Ghica[1] and Michai Ghica, father of Elena Ghica (pen-name Dora d'Istria).[4]

Biography

Alexandru was appointed jointly by the Ottoman Empire and Russia (1834–1842) as hospodar of Wallachia. Under him the so-called règlement organique had been promulgated; an attempt was made to codify the laws in conformity with the institutions of the country and to secure better administration of justice.[5]

At the end of his reign as Prince of Wallachia, he was replaced by the Russian-backed Gheorghe Bibescu.[6]

He died in Naples in 1862.[3][7]
