I think the question is "what" was this society.IIRC,Mircea was the 6th child of king Ferdinand.Principele Mircea died when it was only 4 years old.Fever(typhus I guess).This charity org. (Soc. Principele Mircea) was founded by Mrs. Bratianu (wife of Vintila Bratianu).You can look at it as an orphanage.Yes,in fact it was something like that. |

Principele Mircea was the 4th child of the King Ferdinand of Romania. He died in 1917 at age of 4 (four), by typhoid.

Are you sure he was the 4th? http://www.cs.kent.edu/~amarcus/Mihai/roma...erdinandro.html Cipiamon,the medal you have found is very rare.Very few of them were made. I am not sure if this orphanage was the same with the Principele Mircea hospital in Buftea. On a general note,Principele Mircea foundation was not only a shelter.It was supposed to help orphans and poor children obtain some scholarship to attend some educational institutes. |

The gossip of the time said that Prince Mircea was in fact the son of Barbu Stirbey.  |
