Vlad II "Dracul" (c. 1400 - November 1447) was Voivode (Ruler) of Wallachia 2 times, from 1436 to 1442 and from 1443 until 1447, he is the father of Vlad the Impaler, one of the most infamous historical figures due to his impalement of many people, giving his son the title "The Impaler".
Later Life and Death
He made peace with the Ottoman Empire in 1446 or 1447, which contributed to the deterioration of his relationship with Hunyadi. Hunyadi invaded Wallachia, forcing Vlad to flee from Târgoviște in late November, where he was killed at a nearby village.
