To get back on topic a few of you were saying that The Teutonic Knights would over take Wallachia. I don't think any of you mentioned how or when they would get it seeing as it was part of the Second Bulgarian Empire and later taken by the Cumans. Also, I don't really understand where is their point of origin, are they coming from the Outremer, the HRE , or Prussia?
They are coming from Burzenland, a region in Southern Transylvania, mainly modern Brasov county, Romania. A Hungarian King, Andrew II, if I remember correctly, invited the Order to settle there, but in OTL, after a conflict with the King, over some taxes or something, they were evicted. From there, we all know what happened, Konrad of Mazovia inviting them to Prussia.
Now, we were considering the possibility that the Order could consolidate it's position in Transylvania and start crusading against the Cumans. From what I know, Wallachia was either only nominaly a part of the Second Bulgarian Empire, or it wasn't at all. I think this confusion is made because of the title of the first Asens, "Tsar of the Bulgarians and Vlachs", but this title doesn't reflect the Bulgarian hold over Wallachia, but over Vlachs, which in that time lived South of the Danube, as well.
I don't know why, but when I posted a similar thread a few weeks ago, it didn't get all this attention, and I've abandoned the idea.
