Summary/Abstract: Despite the Tatar invasion of 1241–1242 and the fact that Bulgaria was to pay a tribute to the Mongols thereafter, Bulgarians continued to dominate the territory between rivers Olt and Dniester after 1242. Bulgarian attempts of 1260 and 1265 were fruitless to restore the buffer between Bulgaria and Hungary by taking possession of the Severin land, or at least to weaken the Hungarian rule there by ruthless ravaging the land. During the last decade of 13th century Tatar temnik Nokhai imposed its control over the present-day Wallachian Plain and thus brought Bulgarian influence north of Danube almost to zero. Nevertheless Tatars couldn’t completely fill the political vacuum, which was created between Lower Danube and the Southern Carpathian Mountains. The local Vlachs used these circumstances to gain more independence and to reach a higher state of political organization.
