Seneslau

fl. 1247 · 13th century

Seneslau was a Romanian voivode of the mid-13th century, known only from King Béla IV of Hungary's charter of 1247 to the Knights Hospitaller. The charter left his land, east of the Olt in what became Wallachia, to the Romanians as a tributary of the Hungarian crown, and historians regard it as one of the polities later united in the Principality of Wallachia.
