Vladislav ( Vlad ) Nikolayevich Listyev () ( May 10, 1956 – March 1, 1995 ) was a Russian journalist and head of the ORT TV Channel ( now government-owned Channel One ).

Although the invading troops were defeated somewhere in a rovină (" ragged marshland ") in Oltenia, the chaos created by the threat of attacks allowed a group of boyars to put Vlad I the Usurper ( 1395 – 1397 ) on the throne.

Two decades later, Vlad III the Impaler ( 1448, 1456 – 1462, 1476 ), notorious as the model for the Dracula legend, turned against the Ottoman Empire.

Several Romanian historians ( e. g., Vlad Georgescu ) suggest that Thocomerius followed Bărbat ( the latter had been mentioned in a letter of grant of 8 January 1285 issued by King Ladislaus IV of Hungary as the brother and successor of Litovoi, a voivode in modern Oltenia ).

* Vlad the Impaler ; stories of his cruelty have attained legendary status, most likely spread after his death by his enemies.

The Vlad Taltos series is set on what is apparently another planet, in an Empire mostly inhabited and ruled by the Dragaerans, who are humanoid but have such differences as greatly extended lifespans and heights averaging about 7 feet.

Vlad Taltos is one of the human minority ( known by Dragaerans as " Easterners "), which exists as a lower class in the Empire.

The books are presented as historical novels written by Paarfi of Roundwood, a Dragaeran roughly contemporary with Vlad.

The first section reads like the first three novels in the series, with a first-person narration by Vlad but including Khaavren ’ s son, Piro ; the second section has a different viewpoint character in each of its chapters ; and the third section is narrated by Paarfi in the style of the earlier Khaavren Romances, with Khaavren as the viewpoint character and interacting with Vlad.

An even earlier example of a puppet state ( as well as a vassal state ) is Wallachia, which was partially de facto ruled by the Ottoman Empire from 1462 when Radu the Handsome was placed on the throne after his older brother Vlad III was banished from Wallachia and interned by Hungary.

The character of Count Dracula is thought by some to be based upon, Vlad Dracula III ' ( Vlad the Impaler ).

* Vlad the Impaler and his brother Radu were held as hostages by the Sultan of Turkey during their childhood to guarantee the co-operation of their father

* Vlad Tsepish: Inspired by Vlad the Impaler and the Headless Horseman.

* Vlad — the black-clad, pale-skinned leader of the Merovingian's vampires ; he is killed by Niobe, who stabs him through the heart with a wooden stake.

With Stephen's support, Laiotă was removed from the throne in 1482 by Vlad Călugărul, brother to Vlad Tepes, and for the remainder of the 15th century Wallachia remained relatively stable under his rule.
