Summary/Abstract: In the consciousness of the Romanian people, Tudor Vladimirescu has acquired the dimensions of a legendary hero. His personality, his deeds and his role in the Revolution of 1821 remained in the memory of the Romanian people and have become the subject of many songs, ballads and folk songs, studies, books, radio scripts, films, pictorial creations, monuments, statues. The revolutionary movement of 1821 established a new social order and brought to light a new category of military, not with a predominantly leading role, but rather with an educational one, – the Pandours. The Revolution of Tudor Vladimirescu’s pandours raised the peasant social movements to a higher level, marking the beginning of the modern era in the history of our country. The article aims to bring a tribute to “Voivode Tudor” and a pandour captain named Ghiță Danielescu.
