Wallachia
Wallachia was a Romanian principality north of the Lower Danube, which gained independence after Basarab I defeated Hungary at Posada in 1330. Princes such as Mircea the Elder and Vlad III resisted the Ottomans, but it became an Ottoman tributary state. It united with Moldavia in 1859 to form Romania.
