Battle of Posada: Wallachia born in defiance
July 1330
The Hungarian king Charles Robert led a punitive expedition into the Carpathians and was ambushed by Basarab I in a forested defile. Hungarian knights died under boulders rolled from above while archers picked off survivors from the tree line. Wallachia would emerge from the wreck as a separate principality and pay no more tribute to Buda.
