•  Basarab I of Wallachia

  Basarab I the Founder, also Basarab I the Great (Basarab cel Mare), was voivode or prince of Wallachia (c. 1310/1319–1352). His rise seems to have taken place in the context of the war between the Kingdom of Hungary and the Orthodox states in the north of the Balkan Peninsula. Around 1324 Basarab became a vassal of King Charles I of Hungary (1308-1342), but later the king called him ‘unfaithful’ on the pretext that Basarab had occupied crown territories.
