During the early Middle Ages, Bucharest became a commercial centre, important enough to enable the XIV-th century voivodes build the Princely Canot - known as "The Old Court" - which constituted the nucleus for the development of the medieval town.
The first mention of the name of "Bucharest" is dating from september 20, 1459: the mention appears on a document issued from the chancellery of the voivode Vlad Tepes (the Impaler).
In May 1654, the voivode Constantin Serban Basarab (1654-1658), Mathew Basarab’s successor entered Bucharest for a short period of time, as, after the revolt of his mercenary troops, in February 1655, he left Bucharest for Targoviste, ordering Bucharest and the Old Court to be set of fire.
