Mircea I of Wallachia

Mircea the Elder (, , d. 31 January 1418) was Prince of Wallachia from 1386 until his death. The byname "elder" was given to him after his death in order to distinguish him from his grandson Mircea II ("Mircea the Younger"). Starting in the 19th century, Romanian historiography has also referred to him as Mircea the Great (Mircea cel Mare).
