Bright spark demands title

A jobless Romanian electrician proved he is a bright spark by taking a history course and staking a claim to land stolen from his ancestors.

Cornel Cernoschi said his ancestor Stephan the Great ruled the province of Moldavia in eastern Romania in the fifteenth century.

He has now gone to court demanding the title and lands are returned and that he is recognised as the heir to the region.

He wants a house and other privileges to match his status.

He told a court in the city of Iasi: “I want to be granted a high state position to represent Moldova, as well as some kind of symbol of my status and worth – a manor house should do.”
