Who was Eftimie Murgu?
Eftimie Murgu was a Romanian politician who took part in the 1848 Revolutions.
He was born in Rudăria to Samu Murgu, an officer in the Imperial Army and Cumbria Murgu. He studied in Old Church Slavonic at the school of his village, continuing in Caransebeş and then he studied Philosophy at the University of Szeged, graduating in 1827. In 1830, he graduated from the University of Pest and in 1834, he obtained a PhD in Universal Law, from the same university. Murgu joined a dispute with Sava Tököly on the Origin of the Romanians, publishing in Buda, in 1830, a work named Widerlegung.
In 1834, he moved to Iaşi, in Moldavia, where he opened the first philosophy course at the Academia Mihăileană. In 1837, he moved to Wallachia after a conflict with Prince Mihail Sturdza. In Bucharest, he was named professor of logic and Roman Law at Colegiul Sfântul Sava. He was a member of the Wallachian revolutionary movement, but the plot was revealed and he was arrested and expelled.
In the Banat, he militated for national and social reforms, suggesting even a union with Wallachia, but he was arrested in March 1845, being freed only 3 years later, on 9 April 1848.
