Vasile Mărculeţ: Contribuţii la politica pontică a lui Mircea cel Bătrân
Mari si a XXXIV-XXXV Contributii la politica ponticä a lui Mircea cel Bátran Vasile MÄRCULETj Contributions to the pontic policy of Mircea the Elder Abstract With the reign of Mircea the Elder the advancement of Wallachia, in the direction of the Black Sea, registers its full affirmation. The objective was the transformation of Wallachia into a Pontic state. When he became prince, Mircea was ruling only over the city of Chilia from Danube’s mouths. In a first stage (1388-1395) the Wallachian prince annexed to Wallachia the city of Silistra (Dristra/Darstor) and the internal regions of Dobruja (Podunavia). Due to the confrontations with the Ottoman Empire from this period, in the Pontic policy of the Wallachian prince the moments of progress alternate with those of recoil. After 1400 Mircea firmly establishes his domination in Dobruja. Now he adds to his possessions the territories from the Western-Pontic seaside, the Eastern regions of the territories from Danube’s mouths with the city of Lykostomo and the Southern territories of Moldavia. Around 1408-1409, Alexander the Good recovers the Moldavian territories and takes the city of Chilia from Wallachia. The conquest of Dobruja by the Turkish people gave a decisive hit to the Pontic policy of Wallachia. The Wallachian state will keep under its domination, until midd-15th century only the castle of Lykostomo. (Translation by Theodora Marculet).
