Grand Palatine Stefan Vacarescu 'the Blind' was married to Alexandrina ( Luxita ) Prejbeanu and had a daughter, Zoe, a great female character of her time, married to Russian Prince Alexey Kirilovich Bagration. Their daughter was Princess Alexandrina ( Alina ) Kirilovna Bagration ( see what might be a portrait of her ), who was briefly married with statesman Emanoil Baleanu ( Nicolae's older brother, see above ); she began an affair with General Pavel Dmitrievich Kiseliov ( or Kiseleff ), Russian military governor of Wallachia and Moldavia ( 1829-1834 ) and one of the founding fathers of modern Romania. Kiseleff managed to obtain her divorce and wanted to marry her but couldn't obtain his own divorce ( from the Czar ); therefore the four children born of this union were illegitimate and, although Kiseleff recognised them, they had to be formally adopted by a Prejbeanu uncle ( Luxita's first cousin ). They were Vladimir and Constantin Prejbeanu-Kiseleff, Alexandrina ( Sacha ), married to writer and pioneer archaeologist Alexandru Odobescu, and Elena, married to Stefan D. Grecianu, an important genealogist. Princess Zoe Bagration lived in old age in a house still extant on 129 Victory Road, not far from those of her uncle Barbu; the house was inherited by her daughter and then by the Odobescu family. On the other hand Zoe's descendant Paul Emil Miclescu claims in his book that her last years were spent in a house a few numbers up the street, at the corner with Gen. Gheorghe Manu Street; this house would have been across the road from the still extant house of Princess Cleopatra Trubetzkoy ( Matei Ghica's sister, see above ), the two ladies chatting regularly across Victory Road from their balconies. Princess Zoe is buried at Mavrogheni Church.
