The Wallachian ruler, '''Basarab I''', founded the '''Principality of Wallachia''' in 1310. Over time, '''Wallachia''' became a crucial buffer zone between the '''Ottoman Empire''' to the south and the '''Hungarian Kingdom''' to the north. The Wallachian princes struggled to maintain their independence, often forming alliances with other regional powers, such as '''Poland''' and '''Hungary'''. The most famous Wallachian prince, '''Vlad III''', also known as '''Vlad the Impaler''', achieved notoriety for his brutal tactics in defending '''Wallachia''' against the '''Ottomans'''.
