Voivode of Wallachia | |
Reign | November 1364–1377 |
Predecessor | Nicholas Alexander |
Successor | Radu I of Wallachia |
Died | 1377 |
House | Basarab |
Father | Nicolae Alexandru |
Vladislav I of the Basarab dynasty, also known as Vlaicu [1] or Vlaicu-Vodă, was the Voivode of Wallachia between 1364 and 1377. He was the son of Nicholas Alexander of Wallachia and Clara Dobokai.
In February 1369, Vladislav I subdued Vidin [2] and recognised Louis I of Hungary as his overlord, in return for Severin, Amlaș and Făgăraș. In 1373, Louis I took Severin again, but Vladislav I recovered it, in 1376–1377. [3]
Vladislav I was the son of Nicholas Alexander of Wallachia and Clara Dobokai. It has been suggested that his son was Vlad I of Wallachia. [4]
During his reign, the Metropolis of Muntenia and Dobrudja was split in two parts, as a single bishop didn't suffice for the entire country, thus creating the Metropolis of Oltenia. [5] [6] The first monasteries in Wallachia were erected by Nicodemus of Tismana (Vodița Monastery and Tismana Monastery) with the support of the voivode. [7] [8] [9]
Louis assembled his armies in Temesvár (now Timișoara in Romania) in February 1365. [10] According to a royal charter that year, he was planning to invade Wallachia because the new voivode, Vladislav I, had refused to obey him. [10] However, he ended up heading a campaign against the Bulgarian Tsardom of Vidin and its ruler Ivan Sratsimir, which suggests that Vladislav I had in the meantime yielded to him. [10] Louis seized Vidin and imprisoned Ivan Stratsimir in May or June. [11] [12] In 1366, Louis granted the Banate of Severin and the district of Fogaras to Vladislav Vlaicu of Wallachia, who had accepted his suzerainty. [13] [14] Tvrtko I of Bosnia also accepted Louis's suzerainty after Hungarian troops assisted him in regaining his throne in early 1367. [15] In 1368, Vladislav I cooperated with Ivan Alexander of Bulgaria, the father of Ivan Sratsimir of Vidin, against the Hungarians. [12] [16] Their united armies imposed a blockade on Vidin. [17] Louis marched to the Lower Danube and ordered Nicholas Lackfi, Voivode of Transylvania, to invade Wallachia in the autumn of 1368. [17] The voivode's army marched through the valley of the Ialomița River, but the Wallachians ambushed it and killed many Hungarian soldiers, including the voivode. [18] However, Louis' campaign against Wallachia from the west was successful and Vladislav Vlaicu yield to him in next summer. [18] [19] Upon his initiative, Louis restored Ivan Sratsimir in Vidin. [20]
Vladislav I was the first Wallachian voivode to mint local coins around 1365. [21] The coins were made exclusively from silver and they were classified in 3 categories: [22]
