Basarab

Basarab, also known as Basarab I, was the first ruler of Wallachia and a significant figure in Romanian history. He is credited with unifying various principalities in the region during the early 14th century and is best known for his victory against the Hungarian King Charles Robert of Anjou at the Battle of Posada in 1330, which established the independence of Wallachia and marked a turning point in Romanian-Hungarian relations.
