A look over the microhistory: the Filipescu boyars from Drajna, Prahova county
Journal Title: Codrul Cosminului - Year 2015, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
This paperwork shows a piece of history regarding a boyar family, Filipescu, from Drajna, Prahova County. The reason of our choice was that we need to rediscover the past of our aristocrats in a region that was considered to be the attribute of the free peasants. The aristocratic families that lived in this area, Filipescu, Balaceanu, Macovei etc. had a great influence on the inhabitants, their deeds being remembered by their vassals. We have used in our research, instruments of oral history, such as the interview and the photography, and regarding the field of interest, this paper-work can be integrated in the area of local history. We tried to show how influential the boyars were in the community, taking into consideration both positive and negative aspects. For this study, we have used primary sources, the manuscript of a descendant of the Filipescu family, Dumitru Kretzulescu-Warthiadi, agricultural engineer, the holder of an impressive collection of documents. We have also seen secondary sources, for example the volumes of Nicolae Iorga and Dumitru I. Brezeanu Teisani, Documents from the Teleajen Valley.
