Cornetu

Cornetu is a commune in Ilfov County, Muntenia, Romania, consisting of the villages of Buda and Cornetu. Prior to the appearance of the prince Mihai Viteazul on the throne of Wallachia, there was a agreement within the subject between Arges and Sabar known as Maicanesti, with a populace of Mosneni unfastened peasants with land. During the reign of Michael the Brave, lots of them lost their freedom and the earth, becoming serfs.

At the time of Matthew Basarab, many peasants fled from the estates, and those who remained and had land commenced to sell it to live on. Between 1640 and 1671, the boyars of that point who offered the peasants' land ropes: Manu Negustor, Ghiora Capitan, and Stroe Leordean, are noted. The abandonment of the locality via the maidens led the boyars who had offered the cords of the peasants to carry humans throughout the Carpathians to comfortable their hands. The novices made their dwellings somewhere to the west of the old fireplace of the village of Maicanesti, close to a hornbeam forest, from where got here the brand new call of the village: Cornetu.
