Mateiu Caragiale

Died in 1936

Mateiu Caragiale was born on 25 March 1885 in Bucharest, the natural son of the playwright Ion Luca Caragiale, from whom he distanced himself. Sent to Berlin in 1904 to study law, he read far more than he studied. A journalist, then a civil servant, head of the press office of the Ministry of the Interior from 1919 to 1921, he became passionate about heraldry and dreamed of a noble ancestry. In 1923 he married Marica Sion, daughter of the poet Gheorghe Sion, and died in Bucharest on 17 January 1936.
