![]() Vlad had improved the Wallachian army, now trained for high mobility and fast surprise attacks on the northern side of the Carpathian Mountains, and could strike at any time of the year. His internal enemies (factions of noblemen/boyars) as well as external adversaries (several Hungarian factions, mostly anti-Hunyadi, among them the Transylvanian Saxons) couldn’t get rid of him. You can’t help but chuckle at the sight of his horrible interpretation of an old person.Ī few general assessments: As we know, Vlad the Impaler, who ruled 1448, 1456-14, was an extremely resilient, combative and aggressive voivode (these attributes were very much needed in the crisis of the Wallachian voivodate from 1420 – 1480, being in almost constant danger of being occupied by the Ottomans or attacked by the Hungarians who wanted to control the voivodate, turning it into a buffer region next to their border). “Our marriage doesn’t have to be immediate, I’m not immune to the benefits of a little light courtship, however I am reaching an age no bachelor ever should.” Words spoken with a joking lilt, Vlad briefly hunching over. For a man who had killed thousands with those same hands, when he was near it was nothing but gentle touches. “I hope you know I do not wish to cause you distress with my proposal.” You nod profusely, muttering out a soft repeating of “I know.” The same hand on your chin moves up to wipe the tears you didn’t know had fallen. “I hope you’ve learned by now that I mean you no harm.” His right hand coming to your chin and tipping your head up, Blue eyes coming into contact with yours once again. Your name being gently called as a rough hand softly finds itself upon the back of your elbow. With your head still down you didn’t notice his approach until perfectly polished shoes fell just within your line of sight. ![]() Ex Castro fluvii Dombavicha, feria quarta quatuor temporum penthecostes domini, anno eiusdem millesimo quadringentesimo sexagesimo. Sic tamen eosdem expellatis, quod is Woyko noster homo eosdem videat oculis expulsuros. Si vero ipsi ad nos venire contempserint, extunc iuxta dicta vestra, prout cum homine nostro Cristyan conclusistis et2) expellere spopondistis vestri e medio, eosdem expellatis, eo quod requiem habeatis similiter et nos, quoniam propter ipsos et ipsis similibus non repausare possumus ne pluries rixae et rancores causa ipsorum in nostri medio existunt. Igitur hortamur prudentias vestras diligenter, quatenus dictos pribagos cum praefato nostro homine Woyko ad nos transmittere velitis. Quia hunc egregium Woyko Dobricha nostrum specialem consiliarium nobis sincere dilectum propter illos pribagos et nobis hucusque adversarios, qui eundem Woyko ore suis postularunt, duximus ad vos transmittendum, quoniam ipsis dictis pribagis per omnia de excessibus1) pepercimus. Prudentes et circumspecti viri, fratres et amici nostri nobis plurimum honorandi.
