Bezerenbam (or Bazaram-ban) and Mișelav were the Wallachian (Romanian) leaders [1] [2] (the former a " ban" according to Xenopol, Hasdeu and Constantin C. Giurescu) mentioned in 1241, in the Persian chronicle Jāmiʿ al-Tawārīkh written by Rashid-al-Din Hamadani (Fazel-Ullah-Raschid). They appear in the context of the Mongol invasion of Europe. The former's army was located in Ilaut country, as the chronicle says:
In his work, History of the Romanians, Alexandru D. Xenopol considers that it is possible for Bezerenbam, or Basarab the ban, [5] to be the same person as Litovoi, mentioned in a document from 1247 as ruler of the same land. [1] He considers Bazaram-bam is an ancestor of the Romanian dynasty of Basarab [6] Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu also thinks that the leader was "Basarab the ban", a local leader, while Constantin C. Giurescu considers that this name was a distorted form of the title of Ban of Severin (Terra Zeurino). [7]
Neagu Djuvara has considered the possibility that Mișelav was Seneslau, [2] another Wallachian leader contemporary with and neighbouring Litovoi.
