	Vlad The Impaler
		Mircea died in 1418 and left behind a number of illegitimate children.
		As there were no clear rules of succession in Wallachia (the council of "boyars" had the power to select as voivode any son of a ruling prince), Mircea's death led to conflict between his illegitimate son Vlad (Vlad the Impaler's father) and Dan, the son of one of Mircea's brothers.
		This name, from the Turkish nickname "kaziklu bey" ("impaling prince"), was used by Ottoman chroniclers of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries because of Vlad's fondness for impalement as a means of execution.

	Romania and the Eastern Question
		From the fourteenth century to the seventeenth century, the principalities' histories are replete with overthrows of princes by rival factions often supported by foreigners.
		Would-be princes were forced to raise enormous sums to bribe their way to power, and peasant life grew more miserable as taxes and exactions increased.
		These "Phanariot" princes, who purchased their positions and usually held them briefly until a higher bidder usurped them, were entirely dependent upon their Ottoman overlords.

		Stoker's model was Vlad III Dracula (called Tepes, pronounced tse-pesh); a fifteenth century voivode or prince of Wallachia of the princely House of Basarab.
		He was able to gradually win his way back into the graces of Hungary's monarch; so much so that he was able to meet and marry a member of the royal family (some of the sources claim Dracula's second wife was actually the sister of Matthias Corvinus).
		Many of the anecdotes contained in the pamphlets and in the verbal tradition demonstrate the prince's efforts to eliminate crime and dishonesty from his domain.

		But the Wallachian Prince was excessively sadistic even by the standards of his own time, to which his far-flung reputation attests.
		"Prince of Many Faces" indulges in Freudian and behaviorist speculation about Vlad Dracula's character while ignoring what I would consider to be a simple observation about his personality: Vlad Dracula was extremely uncomfortable with behavior that is not orderly, predictable, and regimented.
		Even while describing the Prince's work ethic, religious beliefs and family history, you don't get much of a feeling for Vlad the man, who he cared for, why he hated the people he did and why he was rumored to be so bloodthirsty.
