List of rulers of Wallachia
- List of rulers of Wallachia
This is a List of rulers of
Wallachia , from the first mention of a medieval polity situated between theSouthern Carpathians and theDanube until the union withMoldavia in1862 , leading to the creation ofRomania .Notes
Dynastic rule is hard to ascribe, given the loose traditional definition of the ruling family (on principle, princes were chosen from any family branch, including a previous ruler's bastard sons - being defined as "os de domn" - "of
Voivode marrow", or as having "heregie" - "heredity " (from theLatin "hereditas"); the institutions charged with the election, dominated by theboyars , had fluctuating degrees of influence). The system itself was challenged byusurper s, and became obsolete with the Phanariote epoch, when rulers were appointed by the Ottoman Sultans; between1821 and1878 (the date of Romania's independence), various systems combining election and appointment were put in practice. Wallachian rulers, like the Moldavian rulers, bore the titles of Voivode or/andHospodar .Most rulers did not use the form of the name they are cited with, and several used more than one form of their own name; in some cases, the ruler was only mentioned in foreign sources. The full names are either modern versions or ones based on mentions in various chronicles.
