Vlad The Impaler's First Wife?

First Wife-

Most of what you see on the net is true almost nothing is know if his first wife or chilren from his second. But is now widely know is he has a mistress and what he did to her. What is not also widley know is it was the pope who granted him, money and supplies, not men. Because the Capatian Mountains are the backdoor into Europe. There were about 9 actual crusades and he was told by the pope keep them out of Europe any way he could. When the pope was told of his methods, he turned a blind eye. So a lot is not known, but read the book I listed below. It told me stuff I never new. Oh ya, he really was a sick F@@@. But some of the things so terrible you hear he did ae pure myth, even in the crusades propagande worked as he was out manned 4 to 1 by the Turks. So read the book, you will love it.

Vlad's first wife, according to local legend, was a noblewoman of unknown origin. The actual name of Vlad Tepes' first wife is unknown. Who died during the siege of Poienari Castle, which was surrounded by the Ottoman army led by Radu cel Frumos and the Romanian Janissary. A woodland archer, having seen the shadow of Vlad's wife behind a window, shot an arrow through the window into Vlad's main quarters with a message warning him that Radu's army was approaching. McNally and Florescu explain that the archer was one of Vlad's relatives who sent the warning out of loyalty despite having converted to Islam to escape enslavement or execution by the Turks. Upon reading the message, Vlad's wife threw herself from the tower into a tributary of the Argeş River flowing below the castle, saying she would rather rot and be eaten by the fish of the Argeş than be led into captivity by the Turks. Today, the tributary is called Râul Doamnei (the "Lady's River", also called the Princess's River). This legend is the only known historical reference to Vlad's first marriage.

Second Wife-

Gradually winning back King Matthias's favour, he married Ilona Szilágyi, a cousin of the king, and in the years before his final release in 1474, lived with her in a house in the Hungarian capital.

Around 1465, Ilona bore him two sons: the elder, Vlad IV Dracula, who spent most of his time in king Matthias' retinue and later was an unsuccessful claimant to the Wallachian throne. The younger, whose name is unknown, lived with the Bishop of Oradea in Transylvania until 1482, when he fell ill. He returned to Buda, where he died in his mother's presence. The descendants of Vlad and Ilona married into Hungarian nobility.

Third reign and death

On 26 November 1476, the High Council decided Vlad was to be enthroned. Vlad began preparations for the reconquest of Wallachia and in 1476, with Hungarian support, invaded the country. Vlad’s third reign lasted little more than two months when he was killed on the battlefield against the Ottomans near Bucharest in 1476.

The Turks decapitated his corpse, preserved his head in honey and sent it to Constantinople, where the Sultan had it displayed on a stake as proof that the Impaler was finally dead. The exact location of his remains is unknown. One theory is that Vlad's remains may be located at the Comana monastery. The other theory is that Vlad is buried at Snagov, an island monastery located near Bucharest.

He also had a mistriss as well.

Vlad Dracula once had a mistress that lived in a house in the back streets of Tirgoviste. This woman apparently loved the prince to distraction and was always anxious to please him. Vlad was often moody and depressed and the woman made every effort to lighten her lover’s burdens. Once, when he was particularly depressed, the woman dared tell him the lie that she was with child. Vlad had the woman examined by the bath matrons. When informed that the woman was lying, Vlad drew his knife and cut her open from the groin to her breast, leaving her to die in agony.
