What it is Filled
Marshal of Romania is the highest Romanian military rank, historically conferred on sovereigns and senior military commanders, and denotes a rank rather than a distinct occupation or a particular command appointment.
In scope
- Romanian rank terminology and position in the military hierarchy
- Period-specific legal foundations and eligibility for conferment
- Documented relationships between the rank, recipients and conferring authorities
- Distinction between possessing the rank and exercising military command
- Evidence for recognised insignia, ceremonial treatment and changes in individual rank status
Out of scope
- Full biographies and political assessments of individual holders
- Organisation and operational history of the Romanian armed forces
- Military campaigns and battles cited as grounds for conferment
- Foreign marshal ranks except as explicitly qualified comparisons
- Head-of-state offices, command appointments and military decorations as independent institutions
Why it exists Filled
Enable an agent to recognise Marshal of Romania as a Romanian military rank, assess evidence of its conferment and distinguish rank-based status from separately granted authority.
Distinguishing features Filled
- The designation denotes a rank within Romania's military system; an English translation containing 'marshal' alone does not establish identity.
- The model represents the rank, while a named marshal is a person linked to it through evidence of conferment.
- Article 2 of Law 80/1995 identifies mareșal as the highest military rank. Source: [Romanian legislative portal](https://legislatie.just.ro/Public/DetaliiDocument/241496).
- Holding the rank must be distinguished from holding a particular command appointment or sovereign office.
- A uniform, marshal's baton or commemorative description can support identification but does not independently establish lawful conferment.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Claim or attribute the rank to a person who never held it.
- Present the rank as an occupation or as a specific command appointment.
- Glorify war crimes or atrocities connected with any holder of the rank.

Only with a human decision
- Correcting historical records of who held the rank.
May
- Report who held the rank of Marshal of Romania and when, from official and historical sources.
- Explain the rank's place in the Romanian military hierarchy.
Moral aspects Filled
- Some holders of the rank are linked to wartime atrocities; history must be told accurately.
- Military honours carry national memory and can be used for political ends.
Who is affected
- Victims of wartime crimes and their descendants
- Families of holders
- Historians
Owners Filled
