Possible common ancestry between the Corvinus and Basarab families

[Marcthegenealogist]

I've seen recently that people have started sharing a theory about a common ancestor between the Corvinus/Hunyadi and Basarab families, so I decided to dig in and there is decent evidence for this.
The theory:
The story goes that Basarab I is also the ancestor of the Hunyadi family and that the Corvinus/Hunyadi family migrated to modern day Hunedoara to start a better life, thus all the of Basarab and Hunyadi descendants are related quite closely.

Genetic evidence:
In terms of genetic evidence, a strong case could be made. The two families share a similar if not exact branch of haplogroup E-V13 which is not definitive proof of recent common ancestry, but it adds a layer of possibility.
From what I know, my grandfather is a descendant of the Basarab family (not confirmed), and I recently uploaded my DNA results to Illustrative DNA and it turns out I have a genetic distance of about 4.9 to Johannes and Christophorus Hunyadi, a pretty good amount for a potential relative living in the 15th century

Missing holes:
While only based off genetics, it's a very strong theory, but unfortunately, we can't know for sure due to there being no documentation, although we do know that the Hunyadi family is of Vlach origin (disputed), their earliest ancestor being a man named Costea.

What do you think?

If you want to prove a distant patrilinear relationship, you need to do a yDNA test. At the minimum, you need to do a yDNA prediction. You could do it yourself with the raw data of yourself or of your father, or you can upload it to FTDNA.
In case you are not E-V13, you know the hypothesis is wrong. If you are E-V13, or get an even more specific branch, you could go for further testing to identify the exact terminal subclade. We already know the brnach of the Hunyadi, once you have results it is a simple Yes or No.
