Ernest Urdărianu

Ernest Urdărianu (1897–1985), (largely known as "Urdăreanu", but this is incorrect) was the Minister of the Court during the reign of King Carol II of Romania (1930–1940). As closest confidant of the King Urdăreanu was, alongside Madame Lupescu, the King's mistress, the third member of the triumvirate which held virtually all power in the state during the 1930s. It is alleged that he was, after the King, the most powerful and the most hated man in Romania. Following the abdication of the King in 1940, Urdăreanu left the country together with him and Madame Lupescu to seek asylum and he stayed with them for the rest of his life.
