Nicolae Alexandru was a Prince of Wallachia between 1352 and November 1364, after having been associate ruler to his father Basarab I.
In the year 1359, he founded the Wallachian Eastern Orthodox Metropolitan seat.
After initially resisting to pressures to become the Kingdom of Hungary's vassal, he yielded to king Louis I in 1354, and recognized the right of the Roman Catholic Church to establish missions in his principality, as well as the privilege of Saxon traders from Braşov to transit Wallachia without paying duties. In 1355 Nicolae Alexandru and King of Hungary reached agreement in return for Severin.
