Dan Berindei (3 November 1923 – 23 December 2021) was a Romanian historian. He was a titular member of the Romanian Academy from 1992 until his death.[1]
A descendant of Prince Constantin Brâncoveanu,[2][3] he was born in Bucharest on 3 November 1923.[4] After attending the Clemența School, Berindei completed his secondary education at the Spiru Haret High School [ro]. He then studied history at the University of Bucharest, graduating in 1945.
In February 1945 he married Ioana Berindei (1922–2008), the daughter of historian and politician Ion Hudiță [ro]. The two had a son, noted historian Mihnea Berindei (1948–2016). Their daughter, Ruxandra, was born in 1951 at Văcărești Prison, while her mother was incarcerated there by the communist authorities;[5] Berindei only saw his daughter after 11 months, while her mother was still detained at Mislea Prison.[6]
He obtained a doctorate in history from the University of Bucharest in 1969, with thesis "Orașul București, reședință și capitală a Țării Românești (1459–1862)". From 1955 to 1990 he was a researcher at the Nicolae Iorga Institute of History, after which he was a professor at the University of Bucharest and at Politehnica University of Bucharest.
Berindei died in Bucharest on 23 December 2021, at the age of 98,[2] and was buried in the city's Bellu Cemetery.[7]
