About

Voivode of Wallachia. Nicolae Alexandru was a Voivode of Wallachia, after having been co-ruler to his father Basarab I. In the year 1359, he founded the Eastern Orthodox Metropolis of Ungro-Wallachia. After initially resisting pressures to become the Kingdom of Hungary's vassal, he yielded to King Louis I in 1354, and recognized the right of the Roman Catholic Church to establish missions in his principality, as well as the privilege of Saxon traders from Brașov to transit Wallachia without paying duties. In 1355, Nicolae Alexandru and the King of Hungary reached an agreement in return for Severin. His second wife was Clara Dobokai, a Catholic noblewoman from Hungary. His daughter, Anna of Wallachia, married Tsar Ivan Stratsimir of Bulgaria and became mother of Tsar Constantine II of Bulgaria and Queen Dorothea of Bosnia. Another daughter Anca married Emperor Stefan Uroš V of Serbia. His third daughter Elisabeth married Vladislaus II of Opole and through her daughter Katharina of Opol
