The Chronicles of the Petenye Dynasty, Part II: King Mircea 'the Accursed' of Wallachia


887
Mircea was an unremarkable boy who could only hide in the shadows of his promising siblings. Despite this, he remained Janos's firstborn son and therefore inherited the throne after the death of the previous king. He received education from the Khagan of the Magyars, the husband of his sister Anastasia.
889
Followers of the Orthodox faith in the country organized a rebellion. At the same time, brother Bogdan and sister Voica were converted to Orthodoxy by their mentors.
891
Even as a minor, he had great ambitions.
892
January 2nd. Agreed to allow a Catholic missionary into the country.
July 6th. Reached adulthood (5, 6, 6, 6, 6, lower level of education).
July 22nd. Married and also bought a Greek concubine from an Orthodox count (the clergy would have found out about it).
893
July 13th. Peasants tried to kill him but avoided injury or death.
November 19th. Byzantium declares war.
894
He gathered patience and lost the war; he had to give up part of the southern lands.
895
Decided to take some land from his Christian brother, which provoked a civil war throughout the country.
896
January 7th. Son Bajan was born.
June 15th. A new rebellion started by the council.
898
March 29th. Defeated all rebels.
December 16th. Won a small war, slightly expanded the territory.
Tried to win over his sister but was rejected.
899
Created the Kingdom of Wallachia, leaving Bulgaria in second place.
900
January 6th. Adopted Catholicism.
April 7th. Deprived the council of any powers in the kingdom.
April 29th. Organized a tournament; first place went to Aaron II (son of that ungrateful traitor).
902
May 9th. Elisabeta was born.
907
Pagan uprising and swift victory over them.
Befriended his younger brother (the best of Janos's sons, most suitable for the role of ruler); they drank together, monitored the work of peasants, etc., and after a few days he died when they became close friends.
912
Bajan reached adulthood and was almost immediately killed by his father in a duel.
914
November 9th. War with Poland.
915
The beginning of a new civil war.
916
November 10th. Was crippled during battle.
917
End of the civil war.
918
Victory over the Poles in May and onset of obsession in August.
922
In March, it turned out that the promising heir organized a conspiracy to kill his father. Mircea experienced severe stress.
923
Like his father before him, Mircea organized an expedition to the British Isles; however, this time it ended with a quarrel between the king and the local jarl, who called Mircea a useless cripple.
924
Organized a mercenary detachment, appointing one of his sons as their leader.
925
Lost all his courage.
December 6th. Died at the age of 49.

Assessment and legacy: given that the lost territory of Bulgaria in the war with Byzantium was compensated for by other conquered lands, it can be said that Mircea's reign was accompanied by stability and peace. There were five children: a daughter and four sons. The first was killed in a duel, the second inherited Wallachia, the third Timish, and the fourth Bulgaria. Notably, he married his sons to his nieces.
