A participant in the Romanian War of Independence, he commanded units on the front at Pleven and Vidin.[1][2]
From November 1889 to February 1891, Vlădescu served as War Minister in the cabinet of Gheorghe Manu.[3] In 1892, he was named chief of staff to the royal household. He was awarded the Order of the Star of Romania.[1][2][dead link] Vlădescu died in Bucharest in 1901. He is buried in the cemetery of Viforâta Monastery [ro], with a funerary monument sculpted by Carol Storck.[4][1]
A street in Târgoviște is named after him.
