The Beginning of the Wallachian Chancery and the Succession to the Throne: Princely Charters and Their Diplomatic Formulae from Sanctio and Dispositio, Epohi, volume XXXI (2023), issue 1, p. 97-101

The succession to the throne was a main concern for Mircea; at the end of the charters, very often in sanctio and rarely in dispositio, scribes added different fragments that mentioned the possible successors to the throne (sons, relatives, or pretenders from other families). The evolution of these diplomatic formulae is more explicit by considering the beneficiaries of the charters, especially the monasteries of Tismana and Cozia. Moreover, an analogy with the Bulgarian chancery can reveal interesting conclusions.

Although many historians tried to find its origin in the proper noun "Ioan-Ioannes", Marin Tadin suggested that "Io" might come from the short form of the invocatio verbalis ("In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"), the first letters of the Slavonic words "name" and "father" being united in the particle "Io". This article tries to analyze whether the Wallachian documents before 1500 contain invocatio verbalis and if so, how many of these documents were issued by Wallachian princes whose names were preceded by "Io".

The two countries confronted with an absence of a clear modality for the throne succession; during his life, the ruling prince chose a son or a brother who was to become the new prince of the country and associated him to his throne. Another motivation for the association to the throne in the Romanian medieval space was the change of the dynasty. The second important cause, which was met either at the beginning of the state or later was determined by the necessity of dividing the princely prerogatives; the co-sovereign was involved in the inner policy, but sometimes he could take part in the foreign policy as well. Sometimes the association could appear as a result of certain inner fights for the throne, as it happened in Moldavia between 1432 and 1457. The circulation of religious books, which described their association in other medieval countries, could also influence the spread of this institution in Wallachia and Moldavia.

Although he constructed his political legitimacy by presenting himself as Neagoe Basarab's heir, Matei did not choose to be buried in Curtea de Argeş, near Neagoe, or in Comana, near Radu Şerban – another prince descending from Craiovescu family – but in the monastery Arnota, near his father, the boyar Danciu Brâncoveanu. Therefore, he was interested in demonstrating that, after his death, his noble origins were more important than a princely dinasty.

The adoptive father did not designate him as a possible ruler of Wallachia, although the son had the proper age for such a political position. The internal and external documents, as well as a votive painting from the monastery of Strehaia, reveal that the relationship between Matei and his adopted son was only a familial one, as the prince seemed to choose Mihai Pătraşcu – Michael the Brave's grandson – for becoming the next ruler of Wallachia, after his death.

Accompanied by many of his boyars, Brâncoveanu crossed the Danube and arrived in Adrianople, where he was reconfirmed on the throne of Wallachia " for all his life " and he had to accept an increase of the financial duties that his country owned to the Ottoman Empire. Among the various historical sources that describe this trip, an internal document, issued in the summer of 1705, emphasises the idea that not only the Wallachian political elites, but also the common people of the country were influenced by Brâncoveanu's temporary departure. În primăvara anului 1703, Constantin Brâncoveanu, domnul ării Româneşti, era chemat la Adrianopol, din porunca sultanului otoman Mustafa al II-lea, pentru a se lua o hotărâre asupra situaiei sale politice şi, implicit, spre a se pune în discuie continuarea domniei sale, actul imperial din 29 martie/7 aprilie 1703 adresându-i-se domnului valah şi cerându-i ca " venind, potrivit vechii datini, să îi aşterni faa la Sublima mea Poartă Înaltă precum cerul " 1.
