Barbu Catargiu

Barbu Catargiu (26 October 1807 – 20 June 1862) was a Romanian Conservative politician who served as the first Prime Minister of Romania from 15 February 1862 – 20 June 1862. 
Catargiu ordered the construction of a railroad between the two former principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia. Unpopularity stemming from his ironfisted responses to rioting and dissent led to his assassination by an unknown perpetrator. Nicolae Crețulescu, a Liberal, was appointed the second prime minister.
