@Hoss @Griffith @Jim @MelGibsonafter4Beers He was a good man simply for the sole reason that he could have easily joined with the ottoman's and lived a very comfortable life but chose the hard path instead.

Vlad's eldest brother Mircea and their father were murdered after John Hunyadi, regent-governor of Hungary, invaded Wallachia in 1447."
