One of Iorga's sons, Mircea, was married into the aristocratic Ştirbey family, and then to Mihaela Bohăţiel, a Transylvanian noblewoman who was reputedly a descendant of the Lemeni clan and of the medieval magnate Johannes Benkner.

In February 1994, President Mircea Snegur, opposed to Gaugauz independence, promised a Gaugauz autonomous region.

The region remained under Wallachian influence until the early 14th century, during the reign of Mircea the Elder, when the area was integrated into Moldavia by prince Alexander the Kind in still not fully clarified circumstances.

In Mircea Eliade's opinion, " Every Microcosm, every inhabited region, has a Centre ; that is to say, a place that is sacred above all.

According to Mircea Eliade, one pervasive mythical theme associates heroes with the slaying of dragons, a theme which Eliade traces back to " the very ancient cosmogonico-heroic myth " of a battle between a divine hero and a dragon.

Polish historian Callimachus tells that the leaders of the crusade would not listen, so Vlad II went back to Wallachia, but not before he had left Mircea II in command of an auxiliary unit of 4 000 Wallachian cavalrymen.

In 1443 Hunyadi launched an attack on Wallachia, defeating both the Ottoman forces and those loyal to Vlad Dracul, forcing the latter to negotiate with the Ottoman court for support, with Mircea II fleeing and going into hiding.

In 1447, Hunyadi launched yet another attack against Wallachia, again defeating the armies supporting Vlad Dracul and Mircea II, forcing Vlad Dracul to flee.

In 1394 he crossed the River Danube to attack Wallachia, ruled at that time by Mircea the Elder.
