Michael the Brave entering Alba Iulia: This is an image that is said to be the reason that the principality of Transylvania is a part of Romania today. In 1599, Michael the Brave entered the city and for less than a year Transylvania, Wallachia and Moldavia were united under one ruler. In 1600, he was killed. Transylvania became more and more a part of the Kingdom of Hungary.
At this point Transylvania grew closer links to the Hungarian Royal family.
Transylvania became a part of Romania.
