Gheorghe Lecca

Gheorghe Lecca (1831–1885) was a Moldavian-born Romanian politician.

Born in Bacău, he was the son of paharnic (royal cup-bearer) Gheorghe Lecca, who died the year after the son was born; and of Maria Negură. Together with his brothers Ioan and Dimitrie, he attended the Cavalry School at Saumur. After returning home in 1854, he took part in the Crimean War. After leaving army service, he served as prefect of Bacău County in 1866, and then as deputy and senator. In early 1882, he was named Finance Minister in the Liberal government of Ion C. Brătianu, serving until his death.[1]

He had three children with his first wife Mariana Mălinescu, and a son with his second, Clara Negură. Both sons, Caton (1860-1913) and Jean (1863-1898), entered politics.[1]

gollark: Intel might offer that soon™ but their current discrete GPUs require special firmware stuff and cannot be bought individually.
gollark: AMD is the *only* serious discrete GPU vendor right now with that.
gollark: Unfortunately, Power10, while much cooler generally, requires proprietary firmware to run the memory controllers.
