Résumé
Mircea the Elder remains one of the outstanding figures of the Romanian Middle Ages in a stage in which southeastern Europe was deeply marked by the Ottomans’ ascension in Asia Minor. The policy of territorial reunification pursued in the prejudice of the Kingdom of Hungary, which was undergoing the change of the powerful Angevine dynasty, and of the Ottoman Empire, which had reached as far as the mouths of the Danube, prefigured an important reign. In terms of an ample historical analysis, the evolution of Wallachia, in late 14th century, still clusters several conflicting aspects. The battle called by the Serbian chronicles that of “Rovine” marks such a moment. Whether we talk about the chronology of the event or the place where this formidable confrontation occurred, historiography was unable to reach common ground. It is thus necessary to once again lay stress on the important historiographic contributions and establish the consequences of the Romanian victory.
