Bezerenbam and Mișelav

Bezerenbam (or Bazaram-ban) and Mișelav were the Wallachian (Romanian) leaders[1][2] (the former a "ban" according to Xenopol, Hasdeu and Constantin C. Giurescu) mentioned in 1241, in the Persian chronicle Jāmiʿ al-Tawārīkh written by Rashid-al-Din Hamadani (Fazel-Ullah-Raschid).

They appear in the context of the Mongol invasion of Europe.

The former's army was located in Ilaut country, as the chronicle says: In his work, History of the Romanians, Alexandru D. Xenopol considers that it is possible for Bezerenbam, or Basarab the ban,[5] to be the same person as Litovoi, mentioned in a document from 1247 as ruler of the same land.

[1] He considers Bazaram-bam is an ancestor of the Romanian dynasty of Basarab [6] Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu also thinks that the leader was "Basarab the ban", a local leader, while Constantin C. Giurescu considers that this name was a distorted form of the title of Ban of Severin (Terra Zeurino).

[7] Neagu Djuvara has considered the possibility that Mișelav was Seneslau,[2] another Wallachian leader contemporary with and neighbouring Litovoi.
