Na području Vlaše i Besarabije tamo je nemoguće da su Rumunji autohtoni...to su bila praktički nenaseljena područja sve do 13,14 stoljeća, kao što je bila nenaseljena cijela južna Ukrajina.
Mislim da su se male skupine romanskog stanovništva sakrile na Karpatima i u Transilvaniji, te kad su prestale provale u Europi u 13-14 stoljeću naselili prazna područja Vlaške i Besarabije.
A to potvrđuju i povijesni zapisi
Naseljavanje Vlaške:
One Romanian tradition records that Wallachia was founded when a certain
Radu Negru (‘Radu the Black’) arrived from the
Făgăraș region in the 1290s after crossing the
Transylvanian Alps with "a great many following him"
Naseljavanje Moldove:
In 1353,
Dragoș, mentioned as a Vlach
Knyaz in
Maramureș, was sent by
Louis I to establish a line of defense against the
Golden Horde forces of Mongols on the
Siret River. This expedition resulted in a polity vassal to Hungary, in the
Baia (
Târgul Moldovei or
Moldvabánya) region.
Bogdan of Cuhea, another Vlach
voivode from Maramureș who had fallen out with the Hungarian king, crossed the Carpathians in 1359, took control of Moldavia, and succeeded in wrenching Moldavia from Hungarian control.
Peter Jordan claims that already in the 13th century there must have been enough Transylvanian Romanians to populate Moldova and Wallachia by emigration right after their devastation by the Mongols and to give these regions a distinct Romanian character.
