... that Matei Ghica(pictured) lost his Wallachian throne for supporting Greek immigrants, and was moved to Moldavia, where he became unusually submissive toward the natives?
Source: Multiple sources for the Wallachian portion, especially Panait I. Panait, "'Tot norodul Bucureștilor' în lupta pentru dreptate socială și libertatea patriei (sec. al XVIII-lea)", in Muzeul Național, Vol. VII, 1983, p. 179 (referring to the "collaboration of the classes" against Ghica and his Greek clique). The second part is based on Nicolae Iorga, "Prefața", in Documente privitoare la familia Callimachi, Vol. I, p. lxxvii, quoting boyar Enache Kogălniceanu -- see the verbatim quote on prea mult maidan (similar quotes from Kogălniceanu , showing his dismay at Ghica's subservience to his native boyars, in Dorin Dobrincu, "Privilegii fiscale în Moldova epocii fanariote (I)", in Suceava. Anuarul Muzeului Național al Bucovinei, Vols. XXIV–XXV, 1997–1998, pp. 201–202).
