  Science Fair Projects - Radu cel Frumos
Radu cel Frumos (Radu the Handsome), (c.1437/1439-1475), was the younger brother of Vlad Ţepeş (Vlad the Impaler; actually Vlad III).
In 1444 Radu went with his father and elder brother to visit the Ottoman Sultan Murad in Adrianople, where they were kept as hostages, while Mircea ruled the kingdom in their absence.
Vlad Ţepeş was released in 1448, and was the Turks' candidate for the throne of Wallachia; Radu, however, remained with the Turks for the moment, apparently of his own volition, and there is evidence that he had become the lover of the Sultan's heir, the later Mehmed II.
