Summary/Abstract: Radu Leon was ruler of Wallachia from 1664 to 1669. He had the byname Radu the Oyster-seller. Son of Wallachian ruler Leon Tomşa, and putative grandson of Ştefan Tomşa, ruler of Moldavia, Radu Leon replaced the deposed ruler Grigore I Ghica in December 1664. The article analyzes a document from the times of Radu Leon, trying to establish whether it is a fake or not.
