	Radu cel Frumos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Radu cel Frumos (Radu the Handsome), (c.1437/1439-1475), was the younger brother of Vlad Ţepeş (Dracula).
		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.
		Radu ruled from 1462 until 1473, when Basarab Laiotă cel Bătrân (Basarab Laiotă the Old) took over the throne for a year; in the same year Radu regained the throne and retained it until the following year.

	Vlad III Dracula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The openly pro-Turkish policy of Dracula's brother, Radu the Fair (who was prince of Wallachia during most of Dracula's captivity), was a probable factor in Dracula's rehabilitation.
		It is interesting to note that the Russian narrative, normally very favorable to Dracula, indicates that even in captivity he could not give up his favorite past-time; he often captured birds and mice which he proceeded to torture and mutilate -- some were beheaded or tarred-and-feathered and released, most were impaled on tiny spears.
		Dracula's brother, Radu the Fair, had died a couple of years earlier and had been replaced on the Wallachian throne by another Turkish candidate, Basarab the Elder, a member of the Dāneşti clan.

	Radu Cel Frumos - Outcyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Radu is generally believed to have been born in 1435 in Schassburg (now Sighisoara), a Transylvanian town founded and inhabited by German Saxon merchants, to Vlad Dracul and Cneajna, a Moldavian princess.
		Radu's plan succeeded, and a mass rebellion by peasants and boyars who had suffered long enough under Vlad forced the Impaler to flee to Hungary, where he was promptly placed under house arrest by King Matthias.
		Radu eventually died in 1475, either being finally deposed and killed by Basarab the Old or dying from syphilis, depending on which source is consulted, and believed.

		The true Prince of darkness, Vlad III Dracula, also known as Vlad Tepes, meaning "Vlad the Impaler." The Turks called him Kaziglu Bey, or "the Impaler Prince." He was the prince of Walachia, but, as legend suggests, he was born in Transylvania, which at that time was ruled by Hungary.
		Since Vlad and Mircea were dead, and Dracula and Radu were still in Turkey, Hunyadi was able to put a member of the Danesti clan, Vladislav II, on the Walachian throne.
		Radu died of syphilis in January of 1475, and in 1476 Dracula invaded Walachia with the help of Moldavia and Transylvania.

		In 1444, at the age of thirteen, young Vlad and his brother Radu were sent to Adrianople as hostages, to appease the Sultan.

	The Harrow: Review: Dark Prince
		Most disappointing was the complete absence of Dracula's older brother, Mircea, and a complete sugar-coating over the circumstances of Dracula's, and his younger brother Radu's, Turkish imprisonment while both were still children.
		The portrayal of Dracula's death unfortunately flattered the weak and simpering brother, Radu the Handsome, the worst of the film's many inaccuracies, and the supernatural ending ruins rather than redeems.
		This is likely a "great film" for those who are seeking only entertainment and have never encountered the obscure written history regarding this notorious Plague-era ruler, but for those familiar with the historic Dracula, this film is nothing short of lampoonery of one of the most terrifying figures in history.
