	Vlad II Dracul Information
		Hunyadi demanded that Vlad II fulfill his oath as a member of the Order of the Dragon and a vassal of Hungary: Vlad was commanded to join the crusade against the Turks, but declined to do so.
		Pope Eugene IV absolved Dracul of his promise, but demanded that he send his son Mircea II instead (it is likely that Vlad had originally denied the request in an effort to prevent his sons from being convoked).
