(Redirected from Basarab I)
'Basarab I' was an early ruler of the principality of Wallachia from perhaps as early as 1310 until 1352. He is sometimes referred to as ''ÃŽntemeietorul'' ("The Founder"), given his role in the creation of the state, together with his position as common ancestor of rulers in the Basarab dynasty.
His name is probably of Cuman origin, meaning "Father King", being derived from ''basar'' meaning "to rule" and ''aba'' meaning "father". In late 19th century, Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu proposed the idea that his name is autochthonous, from ''ban'' meaning "ruler", and the Dacian word ''saraba'' meaning "head" (still present in some Romanian regions as ''sarâmb''), but nowadays, this etymology is disregarded.
Basarab's father, Thocomerius, was probably the first voivod to rule the whole of Wallachia. Basarab became a vassal of the Hungarian Kingdom, but between 1324-1325, he turned against the Hungarian king. In a Hungarian document issued by Charles I (dated 26 July, 1324) he is referred to as "our Transalpine voivode"[1] and almost a year later, in a diploma of 18 June 1325, he is referred as "Transalpine Bazarab, unfaithful to the king's holy crown".[2]
In 1330 he defeated his Hungarian overlord Charles I of Anjou at the Battle of Posada, thus gaining the independence of Wallachia. One of the most important records of this battle is the ''Viennese Illuminated Chronicle''.
