Romania's highest chivalric order, the Order of Michael the Brave was instituted by King Ferdinand the Unifier in the early stages of the Romanian War of Unification
and was named in honour of Michael the Brave, a late 16th century Prince of Wallachia, Transylvania and Moldavia,
the first Romanian to rule over the three Danubian Principalities.
