Description: Saint Neagoe Basarab of Wallachia (1459 – 15 September 1521) is a Romanian saint venerated in the Eastern Orthodox Church, and was the Voivode (Prince) of Wallachia between 1512 and 1521. Born into the boyar family of the Craioveşti (his reign marks the climax of the family's political influence) as the son of Pârvu Craiovescu or Basarab Țepeluș cel Tânăr, Neagoe Basarab, who replaced Vlad cel Tânăr after the latter rejected Craioveşti tutelage, was noted for his abilities and competence. On 8 July 2008 the Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church officially canonized him as a saint, his feast day is celebrated every year on 26 September.
