Abstract

The exile of the young Wallachian Prince was of great interests for the Romanian and foreign historiographers for more than a century. Because of the rapid sequence of events, these times seem to transcend the our purely historical narrative and appear to belong to a chivalry romance. Vlad Ţepes' refuge in Moldavia is a very significant moment in history; it is also the time when he became an opponent of the Ottoman Empire. Just like in other states, towards the middle of the 15 th century, intrigues, conspiracies and political biases were part of the political scene of the Moldavian State. As Prince Vlad managed to successfully overcome all the obstacles that he encountered, he became once again one of the candidates to the throne of Wallachia. This time he was supported by Iancu de Hunedoara, the powerful ruler of Transylvania.
