On May 10th 1866 the Prussian Prince Karl Eitel of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, descendant of one of the oldest European reigning houses, arrived in Bucharest as Prince of the United Principalities of Moldova and Wallachia and took his oath in front of the country’s Parliament Assembly. From 1866 until 1937, the day of May 10th was uninterruptedly the modern Romania’s National Day, and has been remained associated with the Romanian Monarchy.
