English: Coat of arms of Moldavia as shown in Ulrich von Richental's Armorial, 1420-1430. In 1420, Ulrich von Richenthal (1360-1437) placed in his handwritten Chronicle of the Cathedral of Constance (Chronik des Konstanzer Koncils, published in 1862 and 1891) the fictitious coats of arms of "Basarabia" (as Wallachia was called in the Middle Ages after the Basarab dynasty) and Wallachia with the image of black people, which may be associated with a name for the ancestors of the Romanians that existed at that time, Morovlahs (black Vlachs).
Русский: В 1420 Ульрих фон Рихенталь, 1360-1437) поместил в своём рукописной Хронике Констанцкого Собора (Chronik des Konstanzer Koncils, издана в 1862 и 1891 годах) вымышленные гербы «Басарабии» (так в Средние века называли Валахию по династии Басарабов) и Валахии с изображением чернокожих людей, что, очевидно, связано с существовавшим в то время названием предков румын – моровлахи (чёрные влахи)
