About Thocomerius

Thocomerius was a ruler.

Thocomerius, also Tihomir, was the father of Basarab, who would become the first independent voivode of Wallachia. and refers to a Chingisid prince, Toktomer, mentioned in the Russian annals in 1295 as abiding in the Crimea. According to István Vásáry, even if Basarab’s father bore a Turkic name, this person can by no means be identified with a Chingisid prince, because being descended from Genghis Khan was a matter of such significance that no one could, or would have wanted, to conceal it.
