Mircea the Elder ruled the Romanian Land of Wallachia in between 1386 and 1418.
His resistance against the Ottoman expansion to Europe marked his country’s destiny for a few centuries: Wallachia did not become a pashalik, but only a tributary state.
An important symbol which has remained from his rulership is the Cozia Monastery, which he founded in 1387.
