Robert Carol
Basarab I was an early ruler of the principality of Wallachia, known as Întemeietorul (The Founder) (c. 1310–1352).
In 1330 he severely defeated the Hungarians led by Carol Robert of Anjou at the Battle of Posada, thus gaining the independence of Wallachia from Hungarian sovereignty.
One of the most important records of this battle is the Viennese Illuminated Chronicle.
