Iancu Flondor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iancu Flondor (August 3, 1865–October 19, 1924) was an Austro-Hungarian-born Romanian activist who advocated Bukovina's unifion with the Kingdom of Romania.
He was born in the town of Storojineţ (Northern Bukovina), presently in Ukraine. His parents were Gheorghe Flondor (1828–1892) and Isabella von Dobrowlski-Buchental (?–1890).[1] Married to Elena de Zotta, he fathered three sons: Şerban (b. 1900), Neagoe (b. 1901), and Mircea (b. 1903).[2]
During the winter of 1918, Flondor clashed with his rival Aurel Onciul over the political future of Bukovina, a dispute which culminated in the November request by Flondor for an intervention by the Romanian Army into what had become a chaotic Bukovina.
He died in Cernăuţi, and was buried in Storojineţ.
