Cuman domination over Wallachia had ended in 1241 during the Mongol invasion of Europe.

A direct Mongol rule over Wallachia is not attested, but it remains probable.

Part of Wallachia had probably been briefly disputed by the Hungarian Kingdom and Bulgarians in the following period, but it appears that the severe weakening of Hungarian authority during the Mongol attacks has contributed to the establishment of the new and stronger polities attested in Wallachia for the following decades.

Bulgaria has gradually lost control and traditional significant political influence over Wallachia, where the power of the regional nobles has grown stronger.

(Local principalities will subsequently be established.)
