Wallachia
Wallachia is a historical and geographical region of Romania, situated north of the Danube and south of the Southern Carpathians.
History[edit | edit source]
During the mid-to-late 15th century, the Templar Vlad Tepes served three times as Voivode of Wallachia, until he was killed by the Ottoman Assassins under the command of their Mentor, Ishak Pasha. Wallachia was also the home country of the noble Vali cel Tradat, who joined the Assassin Brotherhood. When the Assassins forged an alliance with the Ottoman Empire and allowed its march into Wallachia, a disillusioned Vali left the Brotherhood and joined the Templars in opposition to the Ottoman Assassins.[1]
Following the end of the Crimean War in 1856, Wallachia, along with Moldavia, united into a single nation, Romania. The country gained its independence from the Ottomans only in 1877, with the help of the Russian Empire.[2]
