	abstract = {The article reports the AMS (accelerator mass spectrometry) radiocarbon dating results of the historic Emperor{\textquoteright}s Beech (Fagul {\^I}mp{\u a}ratului) from Muncel, Baia de Arie{\c s}, Romania. Two wood samples were collected from the large tree, out of which four segments were extracted and analysed by AMS radiocarbon. The oldest dated sample segment had a radiocarbon date of 233 {\textpm} 18 BP, which corresponds to a calibrated age of 365 {\textpm} 5 years. This value suggests an age of 420 {\textpm} 20 years for the Emperor{\textquoteright}s Beech. Thus, the historic beech started growing around the year 1600.},
