History
Seneslau, also known as Seneslav or Stănislau, was a Vlach voivode mentioned in the ancient Diploma of the Joannites issued by king Béla IV of Hungary (king between 1235–1270) on 2 July 1247.
The diploma granted territories to the Knights Hospitaller in the regions of Banate of Severin and Cumania.
According to the diploma, the king gave the Romanian territories east of the Olt River to the knights, with the exception of the territory of voivode with the same name as he.
Name origins
The name of Seneslav is of Slavic origin. Seneslau held central and southern regions of Muntenia (i.e., the territories along the rivers Argeş and Dâmboviţa).
The Romanian historian Ioan Aurel Pop suggests that he was quasi independent of the ruling king of Hungary.
Title
According to the Hungarian historian István Vásáry, his title (voivode) suggests that he had a territorial unit under his jurisdiction. The diploma of Béla IV also refers to the kenazates of John, Farcaş and voivode Litovoi.
Although the names of Seneslau and Litovoi are of Slavic origin, they are expressly said to be Vlachs (Olati) in the king's diploma.
