Hurmuzachi brothers
The Hurmuzachi brothers, Alexandru (1823–1871), Constantin (1811–1869), Eudoxiu (1812–1874), Gheorghe (1817–1882), and Nicolae (1826–1909), were members of an old Hurmuzachi family of Romanian nobles in Austrian Bukovina[1] with an estate in Cernăuca. They were activists in the Romanian national movement in Bukovina and elsewhere.[1]
Their estate was a center of activity for Romanians during the Revolutions of 1848, and they were later a key source of material and financial support to nationalist exiles, as well as a point of contact through whom the ideas of the exiles reentered the country.[1]
Their father was Doxachi (Doxache, Doxaki) Hurmuzachi (Hurmuzaki).[2]
Eudoxiu and Alexandru Hurmuzachi were members of the Romanian Academy.[1]
