Vlad III the Impaler of Walachia |
 | | Vlad III Dracula was still a prisoner of the Ottoman Sultan, when news of his father's and brother's deaths reached him by the end of 1447. |
 | | In Buda, Vlad attended the coronation of Ladislas V of Habsburg as King of Hungary, and was invested as defender of Transylvania with headquarters at Sibiu. |
 | | Vlad Tepes was not very tall, but stocky and strong, with a bull's neck, broad shoulders, a reddish face, a strong and aquiline nose, large, deep-set, green eyes, long eyelashes and bushy fl eyebrows, which gave him a threatening appearance. |
