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.

Orda, who marched on the right, passing through Ilaut country, met (Bezerenbam?) with an army; the latter has been defeated. Cardan and Buri went against the Sassans, and  defeated them after three battles. Budjek crossed the mountains of that country in order to enter in Cara-Ulag (probably Transylvania and Wallachia), defeated the Ulags (Vlachs), crossed the (...) mountains, and entered in the country of (Mişelav?), where he beat the awaiting enemy..

Giurescu considers that this name was a distorted form of the title of Ban of Severin (Terra Zeurino).
  Neagu Djuvara has considered the possibility that Mişelav was Seneslau, another Wallachian leader contemporary with and neighbouring Litovoi.
