Constantin II Brâncoveanu was tortured by the Ottomans and executed in August 1714, along with his sons - Constantin, Radu, Stefan and Matei. Constantin II and his four sons were later sanctified by the Romanian Orthodox Church. In 2018, by a decision of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church, these saints were added to the Russian Orthodox calendar.
