THE ROYAL ROMANIAN DYNASTY FROM CAROL I TO CAROL II. HISTORICAL MYTHOLOGY CONTRIBUTIONS

Summary/Abstract: We are focusing our attention by this study on a theme of Romanian historical mythology:the royal dynasty of Romania from Carol I to Carol II. The Romanian royal dynasty has linked itsname to the great achievements of modern Romania and has benefited, in the most part of the reigns,by a strong capital of popularity. Mythicization took place naturally and justified, but also benefitedfrom the support of official propaganda. Carol II, a pioneer of the aggressive use of politicalpropaganda, instituted an authoritarian regime, but failed toproperly manage the internal and externalpolitical situation, putting an end to democracy and collapsing the borders of Great Romania. Hisdemythicization was swift. Not the same thing we can say about the myths of Carol I, Ferdinand orMary, powerful even nowadays.
