Notes
Grigore I Ghica's children, most notably Matei (Grigore) Ghica, assured the continuation of the lineage. Matei Ghica lived exclusively in Greek Phanar neighborhood of Constantinople. The marriage with Ruxandra Mavrocordat, daughter of Alexander Mavrocordatos, the Great Dragoman of the Sublime Porte, introduced Matei to the Phanariote nucleus - now the religious, cultural and political hegemons of the Christian Ottoman subjects and vassals - and ensured a path of political ascendancy for his descendants.[1] He became Grand Drogoman of The Fleet, and in 1739 he negotiated an agreement with the Sultan whereby the key position of Grand Drogoman of the Sublime Porte would remain within the fold - i.e. among the descendants of a family pact involving the Ghicas, Mavrocordatos and Racoviţăs.
