He fought in Corvinus's army against the Ottomans in Bosnia in early Basarab returned with Ottoman support before the end of the year. Books describing Vlad's cruel acts were among the first bestsellers in the German-speaking territories. In Russia, popular stories suggested that Vlad was able to strengthen central government only through applying brutal punishments, and a similar view was adopted by most Romanian historians in the 19th century.
Vlad's reputation for cruelty and his patronymic inspired the name of the vampire Count Dracula in Bram Stoker 's novel Dracula. The Order of the Dragon was dedicated to halting the Ottoman advance into Europe. Vlad Dracul again acknowledged the sultan's suzerainty and promised to pay a yearly tribute to him in or Upon the death of his father and elder brother, Vlad became a potential claimant to Wallachia.
We are unable to do this because an emissary from Nicopolis came to us Therefore, we ask you to have patience until we see what has happened to [Hunyadi]. If he returns from the war we will meet him and we will make peace with him. But if you will be our enemies now, and if something happens, Vlad first settled in Edirne in the Ottoman Empire after his fall. The circumstances and the date of Vlad's return to Wallachia are uncertain.
Multiple sources including Laonikos Chalkokondyles 's chronicle recorded that hundreds or thousands of people were executed at Vlad's order at the beginning of his reign.
Necuratul Series by Sheri Lewis Wohl
Vlad sent the customary tribute to the sultan. Of these he impaled some and burned others. After the execution of the Ottoman officials, Vlad gave orders in fluent Turkish to the commander of the fortress of Giurgiu to open the gates, enabling the Wallachian soldiers to break in the fortress and capture it. Having learnt of Vlad's invasion, Mehmed II raised an army of more than , strong, that was said to be "second in size only to the one" [85] that occupied Constantinople in , according to Chalkokondyles.
The sultan's army entered into the area of the impalements, which was seventeen stades long and seven stades wide. There were large stakes there on which, as it was said, about twenty thousand men, women, and children had been spitted, quite a sight for the Turks and the sultan himself. The sultan was seized with amazement and said that it was not possible to deprive of his country a man who had done such great deeds, who had such a diabolical understanding of how to govern his realm and its people.

And he said that a man who had done such things was worth much. The rest of the Turks were dumbfounded when they saw the multitude of men on the stakes. There were infants too affixed to their mothers on the stakes, and birds had made their nests in their entrails. Tursun Beg recorded that the Ottomans suffered from summer heat and thirst during the campaign. Matthias Corvinus came to Transylvania in November Vlad was first imprisoned "in the city of Belgrade" [] now Alba Iulia in Romania , according to Chalkokondyles.
Matthias Corvinus recognized Vlad as the lawful prince of Wallachia, but he did not provide him military assistance to regain his principality. The place of his burial is unknown. Rosetti in found no tomb below the supposed "unmarked tombstone" of Vlad in the monastery church. Only many bones and jaws of horses.

Vlad had two wives, according to modern specialists. Vlad's eldest son, [] Mihnea , was born in Stories about Vlad's brutal acts began circulating during his lifetime. The meistersinger Michael Beheim wrote a lengthy poem about Vlad's deeds, allegedly based on his conversation with a Catholic monk who had managed to escape from Vlad's prison. In Gabriele Rangoni, Bishop of Eger and a former papal legate , [] understood that Vlad had been imprisoned because of his cruelty. Turkish messengers came to [Vlad] to pay respects, but refused to take off their turbans, according to their ancient custom, whereupon he strengthened their custom by nailing their turbans to their heads with three spikes, so that they could not take them off.
The stories about Vlad's plundering raids in Transylvania were clearly based on an eyewitness account, because they contain accurate details including the lists of the churches destroyed by Vlad and the dates of the raids. The invention of movable type printing contributed to the popularity of the stories about Vlad, making them one of the first "bestsellers" in Europe. He put the people in the cauldron and put their heads in the holes and fastened them there; then he filled it with water and set a fire under it and let the people cry their eyes out until they were boiled to death.
And then he invented frightening, terrible, unheard of tortures. He ordered that women be impaled together with their suckling babies on the same stake.
Vlad the Impaler
The babies fought for their lives at their mother's breasts until they died. Then he had the women's breasts cut off and put the babies inside headfirst; thus he had them impaled together.
There are more than twenty manuscripts written between the 15th and 18th centuries [] which preserved the text of the Skazanie o Drakule voievode The Tale about Voivode Dracula. The nineteen anecdotes in the Skazanie are longer than the German stories about Vlad.
