Vlad III - afterwards known as Vlad the Impaler, Vlad TepeÅŸ - was born in 1431 at the Sighisoara Citadel, the son of Vlad II Dracul, who was the illegitimate son of Mircea I of Wallachia, also known as Mircea the Brave. There is significant doubt about his mother's identity, although many historians believe she was a daughter of Alexander I of Moldavia. He was one of Wallachia's most renowned monarchs, a sincere Christian protector, a superb warrior, and a skilled politician. Despite the fact that he was one of the cruelest dictators in Romanian history.
