Vlachs and Slavs in the Middle Ages and Modern Era

Ilona Czamańska

Abstract


Analysis of the Vlach-Slav relationship in the Middle Ages helped to establish certain regularities in the process of Vlachs’ Slavization, or vice versa - in the absence thereof. As the most important results of the Vlach-Slavic contacts in the Middle Ages and early modern era should be considered:

1. Slavisation of a considerable part of the Vlachs and their evolution towards Bulgarian, Serbian, Montenegrin, Croatian, Bosnian and Ruthenian nationality.

2. The strong presence of Slavic culture and traditions in medieval Romanian countries – the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia.

3. Deepening of the ethnic mosaic of the Balkans and the presence of ethnic Vlachs also in the lowlands.

      1. Mutual overlapping of cultures and traditions: Vlachs’ descent to the lowlands and the beginning of agricultural activity while the mountains are gradually tamed by the Slavs.


Keywords
