He was brother-in-law of Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza, the former ruler of Romania and was considered to be on the conservative pro-monarchy side of the government.[2] Rosetti was one of the most important members of the Junimea literary society[3] and was elected honorary member of the Romanian Academy in 1891.
