One need not speculate. Tartars still live in Transylvania, although more are found in Dobruja, the coastal area of Romania.

Also referred to as Tartars, the related people of the Cumans played a larger role in the formation of Romania: the Cumans, Romanized, founded the noble families which formed the states of Moldavia and Wallachia and started the rise of the Church of “Ugrovalachia” as Romania was called (the Emperor Leopold sent his chosen instrument to enforce the union, Athanasius, to the Metropolitan of Ugrovalachia for consecration (although Athanasius had already submitted to the Vatican)). Also believed to be of Tartar-Cuman origin was John Hunyadi, the founder of the principality of Transylvania.
