Wallachia was one of the Romanian principalities. It's also called in Romanian "Muntenia" or "Țara Românească" (The Romanian Country). Another interesting fact is that in old Romanian "Dracul" meant "the dragon", while "Dracula" meant "son of the dragon".
His responses was not irrational. He learned the impaling from the ottomans, they did it for convicts and prisoners of war. Also the stories about his abuses of the poor were created after his death but his enemies. That is why he is still so loved today.
Ottoman Empire peak is in the 1683, Siege of Vienna. "stephanos" is a Greek name of a Hellenized Jew, in the Book of Acts ... very ancient. It means "crown". Ivan IV, The Terrible, had a similar boyar problem in Russia. The "extra ducat" story is similar to the Joseph story from Genesis.
Valachia is mostly a plane south of the Carpathians north of the Danube river, basically southern Romania today .. The Turks did not torture or kill young Vlad or Radu because they could use them in case their father or somebody else started trouble in Walachia, witch was a vassal state, had to pay tribute early. They could put one of them on the throne if and when needed .. Mehmed II the Conqueror is the sultan that concurred Constantinopole and basically ended the Roman Empire. So I would say the Ottomans are at their top game and strength. Not the largest area they controlled, but strongest ..
Petru Aron wasn't Bogdan's biological brother ,he was Bogdan's fathers basted from a extraconjugal affair, other of the pretenders were gone ,but even Petru will not rule Moldova for long ,he will outlive his own stepbrother by 7 1/2 years because he's got killed by Stephen's soldiers after insignificant brawl between him and Stephen.
It's is not "a bit" anything.You cannot judge those times from the perspective of our own time.Heck you can't judge the 90's from the perspective of our time. Vlad did what he had to do for survival in those times.Especially when you are in such an "amazing" buffer zone. Tactics and practices used by him, were pretty much used by everyone at the time.Also, there's plenty of "fake news" of the time.During his reign and post his death by people that had interests in those principalities.
Mehmet is simply the Turkified version of Muhammed. That river is the Danube. Edit: The Ottoman Empire is definitely not at its peak in this period, but it is soaring very quickly and will rise to be the most powerful empire in the world in the early 16th century.
Ok! The first half of begars story say that: Vlad offered land to work to begars,criples,etc. But they refused. Only a old veteran soldier accepted land to work and live in honrsty! Dont compare yourself with medieval lazy or begars.
Let me explain: those are the Carpathian Mountains separating Transylvania and Romania, at that time Romania was not united so it had 2 major parts: Moldavia in the North and Wallachia in the South. It had a reverse "L" like shape on the map. Vlad the Impeller frequently stayed in Hungary/Transylvania to educate and build relations with the Hungarians.
You talking about mountain ranges sent me down a seriously Asian creator dominated rabbit hole looking for decent videos. Ironically the most accurately informative.... Was made by a boy who looked about 12yrs 😳 The others were from channels for children and talked like their listeners were 5yrs 🤣
România este formată din trei regiuni, look at our flag : red/ yellow/ blue...every region with her colour. Vlad just did what he thought is good for his country. He was seen by some Românian a hero becose he keept us save from otomans. Îți trimit salutări din București! ❤💛💙🇷🇴🇷🇴

well no Dracula means vampire and Dracul means satan
@@alintruszkai1394 You're wrong, and @marcfaur is correct.
Yay Vlad, I remember how pleased I was when I found out he was real and not just a fictional legend lol!!
Carpați- the mountains that cross Romania, in the middle of these mountains now you find the boat beautiful round in the world the Transfagarasan
*Romania has 3 big Regions: Valahia, Moldova and Transilvania. Bucharest is in Valahia.*
Those mountain ranges in hungary are the Carpathian mountains
You seem to have a short attention span but I admire you because you keep plugging away at things and not giving up. Well done Connor. x
There s no lake. Was painted blue to stay focus at that land
By the way Dracula was a title, Draco, it means Dragon in Latin, however in Romanian which mutated from Latin Dracul means The Devil.
Nowadays yes, but in 15th century dracul meant dragon in Romanian.
The mountain is The Carpathian Mountains :)
In Romania carpathian mountais
It's not Steven, it's Stephen!( Stephen the Great)
Send you hugs from România/ Bucharest! Thank you for the videos!❤💛💙🇷🇴

Connor the mountains of hungary are the Carpathian Mountain range. The Mountain Ranges of Greece are the Pindus Range and Rhodope Mountain Range
Wallachia = Modern Romania (alongside Moldavia/Moldova and transylvania)
What?
No... Wallachia = southern Romania.
Romania = Wallachia + Moldavia + Transylvania.
Wow this is like Game of Thrones 😱
Carpathian mountains to the North and Balkan mountains to the West
We don't have balkan mountains,those are the carpathian mountains
Ah, I was searching for the second part of your reaction, but you just stopped. It was almost fun.

i recomand you to watch on history march,and see and battles or another great leaders like Stephen the great(his cousin),Michael the brave,etc.
I think Vlad and a woman called Elizabeth Bathory (forgive the spelling)were blended in Stokers mind.
For a person who likes maps, try pause the video, open another tab and have a look. You learn and your viewers along with you *wink wink

That plain is not without the tributaries of Danube:Milcov,Buzău, Ialomița, Dâmbovița,Argeş, Olt and Jiu with their own tributaries.
Mehmet is simply the Turkified version of Muhammed. That river is the Danube.

It had a reverse "L" like shape on the map. Vlad the Impeller frequently stayed in Hungary/Transylvania to educate and build relations with the Hungarians.
