White Wallachia

White Wallachia was a Byzantine term for the region between the Danube and the Balkan mountain.[1] It is not to be confused with the Great Wallachia or the Little Wallachia.[2] It was called white to otherwise distinguish from the "Black Wallachia", which was Moldavia (or part of it).[2]
