Biography
An illegitimate son of Mircea I of Wallachia, he spent his youth out of Wallachia, and at the court of Sigismund of Luxembourg, who made him a member of the Order of the Dragon, requiring him to fight the enemies of Christianity, in particular the Ottoman empire, and recognized him as the lawful voivode of Wallachia.

After seizing actual control of Wallachia, Vlad II switched a number of times his allegiance from European powers to the Ottoman Empire and back, according to their relative strength and influence in the area, until he was definitely routed from Wallachia by his erstwile ally John Hunyady and killed.
