The itineraries prior to the ascension to the throne of Matei Basarab

Summary/Abstract: The reign continues to have a central role in the political world in the first half of the 17th century in Wallachia; the numerous documents, the detailed descriptions or the internal and external narrations are a proof of this. An important figure of this period was Matei Basarab (1632-1654), one of the most appreciated princes of the 17th century in the South Carpathian space. Besides his accomplishments as a prince, both internally and externally, it is interesting to watch his journeys before the actual rise to the power. The study proposes to observe and analyze these itineraries, how much he travels, why he travels and how these routes affect the way the reign develops afterwards.
