Petar Petrov in Restoration of the Bulgarian State (1185-1197) (Sofia 1985, p. 324-325), analyzing the use of the terms "Wallachia" and "Bulgaria" and "Vlachs" and "Bulgarians" by Geoffrey of Villehardouin, concludes that for Villehardouin "Bulgaria" is the land south of the Balkan Mountains and "Wallachia" is mainly north of the Balkan Mountains. The same applies to a large extent and about the terms "Vlachs" and "Bulgarians". An example is, stating Petrov, that when Geoffrey of Villehardouin talking about the murder of Marquis Boniface of Montferrat, south of Rhodopes (further south of Balkan Mountains) Villehardouin speak only about Bulgarians. Actually, Petrov assumes that for Villehardouin Bulgarian state consists of two provinces - Wallachia and Bulgaria and therefore the author of "Chronicle of The Fourth Crusade..." 15 times called Tsar Kaloyan "King of Wallachia and Bulgaria", but also the Bulgarian state and marked only as "Wallachia".--[[User:JSimin|JSimin]] ([[User talk:JSimin|talk]]) 23:05, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
::This analysis does not contradict to the article. The northern part of modern Bulgaria was called "Wallachia" in contemporary Western sources between c. 1185 and the 1250s. [[User:Borsoka|Borsoka]] ([[User talk:Borsoka|talk]]) 05:41, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
:::I am glad that there is no dispute, but I still [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Foundation_of_Wallachia&diff=401690408&oldid=401672527 erased] a dubious phrase. I thought it not worth arguing about it.--[[User:JSimin|JSimin]] ([[User talk:JSimin|talk]]) 18:42, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
