ALT1: ... that having lived through the manhunt mounted by Diamandi Djuvara, as well as his enemy's death, brigand Iancu Jianu left comments on Djuvara having been "foul-smelling" and "unwashed"?

Comment: No image for the ALT (alas).Withdrawing image and reference to Cozia after stumbling upon sources which suggest that this was another monastery altogether.
Article is new enough and long enough. The first hook is "mad wicked" – as the proverbial kids say – and IMO is the better of the two. Couldn't find any uncited claims and, as I can't the languages, AGF on most references. The lead could reasonably be shortened, but that's a problem to be addressed by a potential GA reviewer.
