This desideratum was reached only sometimes, also due to the international context or to the momentary interest manifested by the Anjou kings concerning the problem of subjecting the Romanian voivode. The conflicts with the Anjou kings fundamentally contributed to the consolidation of the Romanian State system in the circumstance of defining the vassal’s obligation as compared to the Hungarian kings' interposition. The independent actions, more often after 1355, constituted a favourable premise for the next voivode, Mircea the Old (1386-1418) to develop a far-reaching policy. The change of positions was achieved when a new power factor in the region appeared, the Turks. The relations between the Romanian rulers and the Hungarian kings entered a new stage, different from the one of the Anjou period.
