| | A Biography of Vlad III |
 | | Vlad II, like his father, Mircea, was forced to pay tribute to the Sultan and attempt a precarious ballance between the increasingly powerful states of Hungary on one side, and the Ottoman Empire on the other. |
 | | Angry because of Vlad's failure to support Hungary against the Turks, Vlad and his family were forced to flee Wallachia, and Basarab II was placed on the throne of Wallachia. |
 | | In 1447, Vlad II was assassinated along with his son, Mircea, who was buried alive, and Hunyadi placed his own puppet on the throne of Wallachia, Vladislav II. |
