When I watched this show with my father, he would ask me to pause whenever either of us go for toliet break... Very few shows or movies have ever achieved this status, espercially with my dad.
it is a Turkish production so it is one-sided, a lot of information is wrongly told and they presented Vlad as the villain, just for protecting his lands, I will stop right there before I say more, it is NOT historically accurate but what it's to be respected is that they chose in the end to have a Romanian actor portray Vlad, as it should have been from the beginning, this season put to shame Hollywood in terms of Vlad actors and portrayals, Daniel Nuță did a fantastic job, and the way he was on screen, how he behaved himself, you can't call that *just* acting, he was so natural, it was HIGH CLASS acting, it was like a walk in the park for him
@@baybars3138 Pretty close? Hell nah. In the entire History of the Ottoman Empire was never mentioned a Sultan making a duel with nobody. Why is Vlad and Mehmet wondering alone in their camps? They should have had a bodyguard, especially Vlad when he was in the Ottoman Camp. Also, Sultan Mehmet would have never called Vlad nor Radu "brother", that would mean they were equals and had the same power, which is of course wrong. Let's also talk about how there's actually no source of whatsoever that Vlad and Mehmet met during their youth, literally none.
Vlad made Mehmet run away like a coward in front of his troops when they came upon the "forest of the impaled" where around 30 thousand Turkish soldiers were impaled! This is from Turkish history books, after Mehmet's generals ran after him and told him not to flee in front of his soldiers, Mehmet said something like, "I do not wish to take the lands of a man who is willing to go to such extremes to defend them". Mehmet respected Vlad as a worthy adversary and was terrified of him. Vlad spoke perfect Turkish and would even disguise himself as a Turk and fool them the way he did when he ordered them to open the gates in Turkish to a fort he sacked when he and his soldiers were dressed like Turks. Vlad was a genius military commander and he was as brave as a lion always fighting outnumbered at least 5 to 1. Mehmet possessed the largest and most powerful military at the time and still struggled with little Wallachia 🤣, get real!
I'm so happy to see people who study and are intrested in history in the comments. Some of the events in the series might he exaggerated or fabricated but overall this is actually a dope series, the acting, cinematography and entertainment are quite good
@Cypher sometimes you win sometimes you lose. If you look at history many nations and tribes had their runs their ups and downs sometimes winning battles sometimes losing in decisive fashion. And so here we are today with the republic of turkey. It is how it is. Ottomans reign is surely one of the greatest dominant and well remembered alongside with the Roman Empire the mongol empire Alexander’s empire and so on.
@@fatihersayn7877 Michael the Brave (Vlad the Impaler grandfather) had no interest in the Ottoman Empire, and he was on good terms with the prince of the Emperor at that time (Musa). He was friends with him apparently his mother had origins in the European area near current Romania, ( Musa was seen a national, but this is more or less a rumour). The defeat of Sultan Beyazid I by Timur Lenk (Tamerlane) at Ankara in the summer of 1402 opened a period of anarchy in the Ottoman Empire and Mircea took advantage of it to organize together with the Hungarian king a campaign against the Turks (Mircea wanted to promote Musa and used the Hungarians and Austrians for this plot). Mircea took part in the struggles for the throne of the Ottoman Empire and enabled Musa to ascend that throne (for a brief reign). Musa lost to Mehmet, and he was seen as an enemy by the upcoming generations, Vlad Dracula and The Impaler. Truth be told, he had an entrance to the Danube river and the Black Sea and the Hungarian Kingdom sustained by the Austrians took advantage of this. It is more the work of Hungarians and Austrians. Mircea and his kids and grandkids ruled the country for the next 2-3 centuries with interruptions. His children battled for the throne. Also, there are rumours that Mehmet (Mahomet) from the clip was actually gay and in love with Radu the Beautiful. They could have made a very beautiful LGBT story. That would have been accurate, especially if they added the letters sent to each other.
😆 Vlad reminds of Nandor the Relentless from the series What we do in the Shadows. "They would call me Nandor The Relentless. Because I would just never relent."
I agree. This is terribly inaccurate, like so many of the historical series on Netflix today it doesn’t come close enough to what really happened and that’s a shame because often times, especially in this particular case, history is far more epic than fiction.
The person who acted as Mehmed II is awesome, and I felt somewhat sad for his character when he had to execute his former teacher-grand advisor at the end of season 1
Grand vizier did not want sultan to take constantinople because of fear lose money and business in constantinople and make an ally with the grand duke of the roman
In reality that don't happened ... because Vlad failed to enter in the sultan's tent , and Vlad killed an ottoman general who slept in the sultan's tent , obviously being in a war campaign , the sultan had security measures on high level... but the "night attack" was a "commando operation" planned by Vlad Tepes, very bold plan...this means to be a true leader of your army! very courageous! nowadays , most generals of armies stay in bunkers far away from battlefield...
@@wieczny2691 it was a situation like David with Goliath, he won in the first years of his reign, but then the sultan send a secret operation in the winter of 1476 (december) some thousands of tatars ...they come from southern Moldova (Republic of Moldova today) they advanced in Wallachia, via Braila, then Buzau , going straight to Bucharest, they caught Vlad by surprise only with only 200 men in his palace...they fought but the destiny of Vlad ends there , they cut his head and was sent to Istanbul ...the rest of his body was buried in Wallachia in unknown location , so the tatars killed Vlad (Tatars ,allies of Ottomans) romanian history ,archives, DOCUMENTS, said this

@Cypher Dude, Romania was part of the Ottoman Empire for 400 years, vassal already meant part of the empire and within the Ottoman province. Remember, the Ottoman State elects and appoints the person who will ascend to the throne in Romania.
Amazing how people will defend Vlad and hate Mehmed simply because its a Turkish production. Look. I have been studying the Ottomans and Mehmed for some time now. This show is 85% accurate. Some parts are exaggerated, but with Vlad, they have toned down his craziness. Vlad was really an unhinged man in reality. Here, he is just shown as brutal
I think your a muslim or a turk , a man fighting for his country for his faith is evil? Who Is the invader here? mehmed ? Or Vlad , who devasted the holy Christian city of Constantinople ? Vlad or mehmed ? Vlad crazy? No turk he was not in Romania his a National Hero.
Yep. He was also a dirty coward who fled with his tail between his legs to Hungary because he couldn't defeat Mehmet militarily. Vlad was a monster and it wasn't until the late 1800s that he was reinvented as a hero.
For clarifications or additions to what was said above, I recommend "Corpus draculianum" on youtube. The dramatic life of Vlad Tepes exposed in the chronicles of the time, his correspondence, the administrative documents from his period. All presented by professional historians, who, like Sherlock Holmes, try to bring Vlad to light, beyond legends and vicious propaganda.
Actually it's very hard for people to find out how Vlad was like (in real life) because there's too many legends and stories about him. But in reality he wasn't mad. And as a romanian I know this because he did good things for his country.
IRL, it was a raid on the Sultan's camp where Vlad's party was greatly outnumbered. They fled ASAP after the camp was roused up because it would suicide to remain.
Back when the people that hold the power went and faught alongside there men unlike today old spinless politicians sending other people to die loved this series
Because it doesn't work anymore. You can get shot from the distance by bullets while back then you had possibility to survive a bow shot. And back in those times you still had a bodyguard with you which the series didn't show because its Historically inaccurate. No Sultan of the entire History of the Ottoman Empire had duel or fought alone.
Vlad the impaler had duels before his army went to war sometimes didn't show that in the series I'm well read on this haven't just watched this series lol and what does that mean the whole point is risking your life for your country to show courage but its alright to send other people's sons
@@bored-nl1bu Yes Vlad had a duel with Vladislav the Second and killed him but the Ottoman Sultans never had one. And the whole point is not to show courage. Leaders aren't trained to go to war but to lead while soldiers are. And they have their own Commanders who are either present on the front line or not.
Mehmet didn't flee, the Ottoman camp was so big that the Romanians missed their target, they never reached his tent. Just for context of the size of the encampment, the fighting was nearly over when the other side of the army finally realized that the camp was under attack.
He didn't lose the war. The campaign ended with the turks retreating and sacking Brăila. Radu was crowned pronce after an induced coup by the boyers. And Vlad retook his throne in 1475.

When Mehmet II was on his way to conquer Trabzon ( a small city in the Northern region of Turkey which was in the hands of the Venecians at that time ).It was very hard to ride there with horse. The region was very mountainous and full of forests. So Mehmet II had to walk most of the time. He also once slipped and hurt his hands. The Mother of Uzun Hasan, Sare Hatun, who was sent to Mehmet II as a messenger by his son before, was also at this conquest. ( He took her with him until the conquest was complete, so his Rival would not dare to attack him behind his back). Sare Hatun who saw this, told him: "Son, you are a big emperor ! What is the importance of this small city? That turned an emperor like you to a foot soldier"? Mehmet II replied: " Mother! This effort is not for Land and Glory. Rather it is we, who have the sword of Islam in our hands. If we don't bear the pain that comes with it, then surely it will be a lie to call us Gazi ( someone who fights for Allah and gets injured by doing so ). And at the day of reckoning i can not stand before Allah out of shame." Yes, this was the mentality of Mehmet the conqueror, whom our beloved Prophet praised. May Allah have mercy on his soul.
@@allysoobratty7565 All will meet Allah and all will be judged accordingly by Allah. Mehmet used the name of Islam to cause death of men and women, children and old alike. His army pillaged and kill innocent people. All he wanted was power and glory and all those who protect him only want to take pride in their roots. That is not the way of Islam, and true Muslims will never justify his actions.

I appreciate the Walachians attacking the Camp But Having to Rally Your men During the Heat of the Attack is much more Impressive Mehmet kept a cool head that time.
Vlad had legitimate reasons to be bitter but the sympathy was lost when he lost his mind and become a sadistic murdering psychopath that butchered Christians and Muslims alike to satisfy his bloodlust.
Kinda weird how Mehmed says, "time to end this" all dramatically, just to run as fast as he can over to Vlad like he's about to attack and randomly stop short for another stand off.
I respect dracula because his genius againts ottoman,using what he learn during his time in ottoman,learn turkish language,learn little bit about islam, and of course learn about ottoman war tactic which make him the dangerous foe for mehmed ii.
this battle never existed between Vlad Dracu and Mehmed in the front, because in the night attack that Vlad initiated, some of the Wallachians were dressed in Ottoman clothes to cause confusion and attacks on their own soldiers among the enemies, and Vlad had the mission to assassinate Mehmed. Good until here! The assassination failed causing Mehmed to be mistaken for a general, and Mehmed retreated seeing his troops fighting among themselves. This series favors the Turkish side, of course.. the series is original and made in Turkey. let's remember in this night battle nearly 15,000 Ottomans die. The Wallachians were true heroes, but all of them were killed by the boyars or betrayed by them. Don't believe in a series after Netflix where the goal is to change history and not how it unfolded.
Which part of series you didn't like. Everyone accepted Ottomans lost nearly quarter of army after tuna river to Targovişte. Boyars betrayed him but they didnt join to battle. For your history Vlad killed just Turks and Turks burned the villages. No dear he was sick and his sick ambition became his and. He was not hero he was enemy of all humanity. You have to thank us ;)
@@burakyagci3315 Why should I thank you? Vlad punished crimes of all kinds, crimes are like a disease that spreads from one to another, and for this Vlad used the psychological game to spread fear among his citizens not to commit crimes. Wallachians, Trasylvanians and Moldavians did not conquer territory, they only defended their territories. Why should I thank you? because you studied these regions and you also fell prey? Why should I thank you? The Ottoman Empire never had heroes in their history and only conquerors and sultans who were greedy for power. The Ottomans conquered an empire that was already being formed. The Romanian country had and will have heroes, amen!
@@CatalinIvan-zq9dp dear the thing is white for us which is black for you. The thing is white for you which is black for us. We had heroes they were bad guys for you.

For us you need to thank us. For you Vlad is hero.
@@ercanylmaz967 they were not cowards! They approached a clever battle tactic against a much larger enemy. If they were cowards, they did not wage war with the Ottomans, if they did not have courage, they did not wage war with the Ottomans, if they did not have honor and faith, Wallachia was Muslim. For us Romanians, those who fought to protect the holy faith and this land, are heroes. Romanians have a proverb about Turks, when Romanians say you are Turkish, they mean you don't understand anything! Peace!
Yea Historically wrong, there has been no Historical document suggesting ever that a Sultan had duel with any warrior or leader especially Mehmet and Vlad. And for @Kavan Shah, there's no Ottoman source that says Vlads head was taken to Constantinople. There's just one letter written by Vlads cousin Stephen the Great of Moldavia which was sent to the mayor of Sibiu in Transylvania, it says that Vlad was ambushed by an Ottoman patrol and killed, and that his head was taken to Constantinople, but Stephen was not at the Battle nor at Constantinople to know those things. Especially when no Ottoman source even suggests that has happened. There's also text saying that Vlad was not even killed by the Ottomans, but in fact by the Tatars. A Romanian Chronicle says that the Tatars were the ones that killed Vlad in a Battle. Which In a historical perspective makes sense. Mehmet lost in Moldavia, Wallachia and in Hungary which the Ottomans didn't have the capacity to recruit another army, so how Mehmet has done previously against Vlads Cousin Stephen the Great, he asked the Khan of Crimea to take an army against Wallachia. Even so, Stephen the Great In a letter to Brașov, writes that a Tatar army has passed through Chilia in Basarabia (modern Budjac Ukraine) and went to Wallachia which Stephen was worried for Vlads life. So just as you see, Vlads death is very controversial and we don't know what happened to Vlad. But the head taken to Constantinople is chronologically wrong.
@@Hav0ck23 that's what the job of Sultan, he is in a position where he can command and give orders because ottoman swore their loyalty to him, continuity of Sultan is also important he cannot everytime lead the battle and put his life on risk. Basic sense

If any Romanian King had the oppurtinity for both freedom and peace with Ottomans and let them to conquer some other western Kingdoms, they would happily accept it. Geography is a destiny. You Romanians fought us because there was no other option at that time. Western Christian Kingdoms supported you because they wanted to keep Ottomans at bay. Not for your sake. So-called European brotherhood is a fairy dream. With this kind of talks that you and your people are doing is a pure propaganda.

Although the 1vs1 never happened it’s still cool action “If Mehmet had a duel with Vlad he would have been 100% killed VLAD won many death duels in his life”
Quite right. There's no text suggesting that Mehmet had a duel with no one in his entire life. For a matter of a fact, no Ottoman source confirms that any Sultan had a duel. But Vlad has have against Vladislav the Second.

A lot of made up stuff, but it shows the essential: vlad revolted, mehmed came, his army got severly wacked in the night attack, and only averted defeat because one of vlad captains betrayed or never arrived to attack the other side of the camp... Mehmed wanted to abbandon the campaign but was convinced by his entourage to press on. He took Targoviste but finding 20000 turks impaled had a severe impact on him and his men... He let some army with Radu, Vlad's brother and said..ok you deal with your crazy ass brother... Vlad was betrayed by both boyars and Mathias of the Hungarians..and the rest is history.
Unfortunately, the new generation is learning history from such serials. It describes a person who fills an 8 km road with human corpses on a impale as an oppressed and proud prince.

I read the comments, there are some who think this fight happened. No, sorry but it didn’t, in reality vlad never found sultan mehmed. Because you can’t reach to the biggest conquerer of era. Also Mehmed wouldn’t bother to run after a bandit to kill him. He had many big issues to follow instead of running after a bandit. Janissaries killed and took vlad’s head and brought to mehmed.

The actor doing Vlad is great. His face, body, expresion it's superbe. But the story is not true. Vlad is protecting his land, his religion, his legacy. What the hell is Mehmet doing in Romania? Mehmet was invader, who took money and became rich from the countries of the Balkans and above
"I protected you like a brother!" Funny, coming from a guy who killed his own 2-year-old brother. Mehmed II - After ascending the throne, he ordered the execution of his infant brother Ahmed to secure his position. Bayezid II - Bayezid's ascension involved conflict with his brother Cem Sultan, who fled and later died in European captivity under suspicious circumstances. Selim I - Upon his accession, he eliminated his brothers, Korkut and Ahmed, to eliminate any claims to the throne. Murad III - After becoming sultan, he ordered the execution of his five younger brothers. Mehmed III - Known for the execution of his 19 brothers upon his accession to the throne.
There was no fight like that. Vlad escaped to Hungary but Hungarian jailed and killed him. These scenes must be true stories. İt is not Game of trones finally.
Fatih Sultan Mehmet was unique. She was the last great emperor and kaiser. Dracula could never cope with Conqueror's war strategy. Vlad Dracula was a murderer who killed innocent people by impalement because she couldn't deal with Mehmet. However, there was a fact that Mehmet would not die without taking his revenge. For this reason, Vlad Durula's head was impaled and poured into the streets of Istanbul. Her fight may have been long but for the first time she got what she deserved, not just in the bad guys movies, but in real life as well.
Who is Dracula here, the guy on the left looks more like Dracula from the portrait but at the same time he seem like he could be Turkish and the guy on the right looks nothing like Dracula.
vlad hero? my foot. .between Vlad and Fatih, vlad literally the one that started the killing (kill civilians in Ottoman area, kill Ottoman messanger, kill his own people (poor people) instead of give them charity). .yes Ottoman fight him but he died by his own people. .if he really don't want protection and pay tax anymore just say it to Fatih. he learn with Fatih as child, he know should dialouge first before any war but he choose to kill first that means asking for war right away.

Sure but probably he thought that his henchmen were successful at this point. They had an assassination plan
@@faruksavran9720 We don't known if Vlad had "in real life story" sent actual people to kill Sultans family, they were rumours of that time.
@Cypher
And then he, his son and his grandsons ruled all the Turkish land for next 400 years. Right???
@Cypher sometimes you win sometimes you lose. If you look at history many nations and tribes had their runs their ups and downs sometimes winning battles sometimes losing in decisive fashion. And so here we are today with the republic of turkey. It is how it is.
Ottomans reign is surely one of the greatest dominant and well remembered alongside with the Roman Empire the mongol empire Alexander’s empire and so on.
@@fatihersayn7877 Michael the Brave (Vlad the Impaler grandfather) had no interest in the Ottoman Empire, and he was on good terms with the prince of the Emperor at that time (Musa). He was friends with him apparently his mother had origins in the European area near current Romania, ( Musa was seen a national, but this is more or less a rumour).
The defeat of Sultan Beyazid I by Timur Lenk (Tamerlane) at Ankara in the summer of 1402 opened a period of anarchy in the Ottoman Empire and Mircea took advantage of it to organize together with the Hungarian king a campaign against the Turks (Mircea wanted to promote Musa and used the Hungarians and Austrians for this plot).
Mircea took part in the struggles for the throne of the Ottoman Empire and enabled Musa to ascend that throne (for a brief reign). Musa lost to Mehmet, and he was seen as an enemy by the upcoming generations, Vlad Dracula and The Impaler.
Truth be told, he had an entrance to the Danube river and the Black Sea and the Hungarian Kingdom sustained by the Austrians took advantage of this. It is more the work of Hungarians and Austrians.
Mircea and his kids and grandkids ruled the country for the next 2-3 centuries with interruptions. His children battled for the throne.
Also, there are rumours that Mehmet (Mahomet) from the clip was actually gay and in love with Radu the Beautiful. They could have made a very beautiful LGBT story. That would have been accurate, especially if they added the letters sent to each other.
😆 Vlad reminds of Nandor the Relentless from the series What we do in the Shadows. "They would call me Nandor The Relentless. Because I would just never relent."
@Yusuf Keser yes you should but it is dark comedy....

This is about as historically accurate as game of thrones.

@@kiznaive_1764 probably? that's what you build your case on? Probably?
I agree. This is terribly inaccurate, like so many of the historical series on Netflix today it doesn’t come close enough to what really happened and that’s a shame because often times, especially in this particular case, history is far more epic than fiction.
Yeah, but draqula untold movie made by holloyood is accurate😂, classic western mind.
The person who acted as Mehmed II is awesome, and I felt somewhat sad for his character when he had to execute his former teacher-grand advisor at the end of season 1
I can assure you, he was happy to do it
Grand vizier did not want sultan to take constantinople because of fear lose money and business in constantinople and make an ally with the grand duke of the roman

In reality that don't happened ... because Vlad failed to enter in the sultan's tent , and Vlad killed an ottoman general who slept in the sultan's tent , obviously being in a war campaign , the sultan had security measures on high level... but the "night attack" was a "commando operation" planned by Vlad Tepes, very bold plan...this means to be a true leader of your army! very courageous! nowadays , most generals of armies stay in bunkers far away from battlefield...

@Cypher Dude, Romania was part of the Ottoman Empire for 400 years, vassal already meant part of the empire and within the Ottoman province. Remember, the Ottoman State elects and appoints the person who will ascend to the throne in Romania.
Amazing how people will defend Vlad and hate Mehmed simply because its a Turkish production. Look. I have been studying the Ottomans and Mehmed for some time now. This show is 85% accurate. Some parts are exaggerated, but with Vlad, they have toned down his craziness. Vlad was really an unhinged man in reality. Here, he is just shown as brutal
I think your a muslim or a turk , a man fighting for his country for his faith is evil? Who Is the invader here? mehmed ? Or Vlad , who devasted the holy Christian city of Constantinople ? Vlad or mehmed ? Vlad crazy? No turk he was not in Romania his a National Hero.
Yep. He was also a dirty coward who fled with his tail between his legs to Hungary because he couldn't defeat Mehmet militarily.
Vlad was a monster and it wasn't until the late 1800s that he was reinvented as a hero.
It's 100% biased toward the Turks, and Vlad III wasn't unhinged at all.
For clarifications or additions to what was said above, I recommend "Corpus draculianum" on youtube. The dramatic life of Vlad Tepes exposed in the chronicles of the time, his correspondence, the administrative documents from his period. All presented by professional historians, who, like Sherlock Holmes, try to bring Vlad to light, beyond legends and vicious propaganda.
Actually it's very hard for people to find out how Vlad was like (in real life) because there's too many legends and stories about him. But in reality he wasn't mad. And as a romanian I know this because he did good things for his country.
IRL, it was a raid on the Sultan's camp where Vlad's party was greatly outnumbered. They fled ASAP after the camp was roused up because it would suicide to remain.
Hope they make a series of Mehmed vs Skanderbey

Because it doesn't work anymore. You can get shot from the distance by bullets while back then you had possibility to survive a bow shot. And back in those times you still had a bodyguard with you which the series didn't show because its Historically inaccurate. No Sultan of the entire History of the Ottoman Empire had duel or fought alone.
Vlad the impaler had duels before his army went to war sometimes didn't show that in the series I'm well read on this haven't just watched this series lol and what does that mean the whole point is risking your life for your country to show courage but its alright to send other people's sons
@@bored-nl1bu Yes Vlad had a duel with Vladislav the Second and killed him but the Ottoman Sultans never had one. And the whole point is not to show courage.

When Mehmet II was on his way to conquer Trabzon ( a small city in the Northern region of Turkey which was in the hands of the Venecians at that time ).It was very hard to ride there with horse. The region was very mountainous and full of forests. So Mehmet II had to walk most of the time. He also once slipped and hurt his hands.
The Mother of Uzun Hasan, Sare Hatun, who was sent to Mehmet II as a messenger by his son before, was also at this conquest.
( He took her with him until the conquest was complete, so his Rival would not dare to attack him behind his back).
Sare Hatun who saw this, told him:
"Son, you are a big emperor ! What is the importance of this small city? That turned an emperor like you to a foot soldier"?
Mehmet II replied: " Mother! This effort is not for Land and Glory.
Rather it is we, who have the sword of Islam in our hands. If we don't bear the pain that comes with it, then surely it will be a lie to call us Gazi ( someone who fights for Allah and gets injured by doing so ). And at the day of reckoning i can not stand before Allah out of shame."
Yes, this was the mentality of Mehmet the conqueror, whom our beloved Prophet praised.
May Allah have mercy on his soul.
Ameen
Allah did not ask him to spill the blood of thousands for Islam, he was a disgrace to the true way of Islam.

But still he's amongst an ungrateful person just.
this battle never existed between Vlad Dracu and Mehmed in the front, because in the night attack that Vlad initiated, some of the Wallachians were dressed in Ottoman clothes to cause confusion and attacks on their own soldiers among the enemies, and Vlad had the mission to assassinate Mehmed. Good until here! The assassination failed causing Mehmed to be mistaken for a general, and Mehmed retreated seeing his troops fighting among themselves. This series favors the Turkish side, of course.. the series is original and made in Turkey. let's remember in this night battle nearly 15,000 Ottomans die. The Wallachians were true heroes, but all of them were killed by the boyars or betrayed by them. Don't believe in a series after Netflix where the goal is to change history and not how it unfolded.
Which part of series you didn't like. Everyone accepted Ottomans lost nearly quarter of army after tuna river to Targovişte. Boyars betrayed him but they didnt join to battle. For your history Vlad killed just Turks and Turks burned the villages. No dear he was sick and his sick ambition became his and. He was not hero he was enemy of all humanity. You have to thank us ;)
wallachians are cowards so they wear enemy outfits. And at the end vlad and his coward soldiers got what they deserved. Vlad died like a dog later.
@@burakyagci3315 Why should I thank you? Vlad punished crimes of all kinds, crimes are like a disease that spreads from one to another, and for this Vlad used the psychological game to spread fear among his citizens not to commit crimes. Wallachians, Trasylvanians and Moldavians did not conquer territory, they only defended their territories. Why should I thank you? because you studied these regions and you also fell prey? Why should I thank you? The Ottoman Empire never had heroes in their history and only conquerors and sultans who were greedy for power. The Ottomans conquered an empire that was already being formed.

Yea Historically wrong, there has been no Historical document suggesting ever that a Sultan had duel with any warrior or leader especially Mehmet and Vlad. And for @Kavan Shah, there's no Ottoman source that says Vlads head was taken to Constantinople. There's just one letter written by Vlads cousin Stephen the Great of Moldavia which was sent to the mayor of Sibiu in Transylvania, it says that Vlad was ambushed by an Ottoman patrol and killed, and that his head was taken to Constantinople, but Stephen was not at the Battle nor at Constantinople to know those things. Especially when no Ottoman source even suggests that has happened.
There's also text saying that Vlad was not even killed by the Ottomans, but in fact by the Tatars. A Romanian Chronicle says that the Tatars were the ones that killed Vlad in a Battle. Which In a historical perspective makes sense. Mehmet lost in Moldavia, Wallachia and in Hungary which the Ottomans didn't have the capacity to recruit another army, so how Mehmet has done previously against Vlads Cousin Stephen the Great, he asked the Khan of Crimea to take an army against Wallachia. Even so, Stephen the Great In a letter to Brașov, writes that a Tatar army has passed through Chilia in Basarabia (modern Budjac Ukraine) and went to Wallachia which Stephen was worried for Vlads life. So just as you see, Vlads death is very controversial and we don't know what happened to Vlad. But the head taken to Constantinople is chronologically wrong.
Mehmet never led an army from the field. It was Radu who would mostly go on the field. Mehmet would order from his luxorious tent

Vlad made Mehmet run away like a coward in front of his troops when they came upon the "forest of the impaled" where around 30 thousand Turkish soldiers were impaled! This is from Turkish history books, after Mehmet's generals ran after him and told him not to flee in front of his soldiers, Mehmet said something like, "I do not wish to take the lands of a man who is willing to go to such extremes to defend them". Mehmet respected Vlad as a worthy adversary and was terrified of him. Vlad spoke perfect Turkish and would even disguise himself as a Turk and fool them the way he did when he ordered them to open the gates in Turkish to a fort he sacked when he and his soldiers were dressed like Turks. Vlad was a genius military commander and he was as brave as a lion always fighting outnumbered at least 5 to 1. Mehmet possessed the largest and most powerful military at the time and still struggled with little Wallachia 🤣, get real!
Fiction. Mehmed actually ran away like a coward.
Is that why mehmed took targovishte in no time while little vlad was running to beg for help from, Moldova, Hungary, the pope and god knows on how many more doors he knocked, interesting how he is begging for help like a dog, when he actually hated beggars and killed all the beggars in his country, cowerd like vlad can never fight in the open and even for that they always need help... mehmed raised and educated a dog who turned against him and tried to bite him, but at least radul was a grateful and decent man...
Vlad Basarab never fought with mohamed, because mohamed run 🏃♀️
🤣🤣🤣
it is viceversa. Vlad always run
Mehmed conquered vlad's country. Killed vlad. Yeah, Mehmed run.

Ok who wants in...Hector from TROY vs Vlad Teppes ...odds please ???
Hector.
🥶🥶🥶🥶
I read the comments, there are some who think this fight happened. No, sorry but it didn’t, in reality vlad never found sultan mehmed. Because you can’t reach to the biggest conquerer of era. Also Mehmed wouldn’t bother to run after a bandit to kill him. He had many big issues to follow instead of running after a bandit. Janissaries killed and took vlad’s head and brought to mehmed. End of the story.
In reality that don't happened ... because Vlad failed to enter in the sultan's tent , and Vlad killed an ottoman general who slept in the sultan's tent , obviously being in a war campaign , the sultan had security measures on high level... but the "night attack" was a "commando operation" planned by Vlad Tepes, very bold plan...this means to be a true leader of your army! very courageous! nowadays , most generals of armies stay in bunkers far away from battlefield...
search on youtube the channel "HistoryMarche" and search for Battle of Targoviste , part one and part two , you will see the real events , not turkish propaganda
@@dand7763 dear friend, i am turkish but I don’t believe in propaganda. Vlad was a smart man. He was the friend of Sultan Mehmed. But i can tell you this, Mehmed was in Egypt while janissaries are getting vlad’s head. This is what i know. And i am an atheist so i am not writing these things to support muslim or turkish arguments. Mehmed was a great leader. He was considered the most complete conqueror of era even by European historians. And he was a very open-minded sultan. Even today we miss him but we don’t miss monarchy of course.

Why are you atheist ?? Why don't you believe in God 🤔

"vlad tepes " 1979 movie with enghlish subtitle . Just watch it. It's european and romanian version about the facts.
😂😂😂
The movie is only 10% accurate
@@SAIfTHESCIMitar3233 Historically speaking, none of the films reflect reality 100%.
If you want IMPARTIAL HISTORY, meaning chronicles of the time, administrative documents, correspondence, everything that was written about Vlad and Mehemed at that time, I recommend "CORPUS DRACULIANUM" on UA-cam, made by professional historians, including Ottoman history. God bless you!

Adik beradik bergaduh habis rakyat yang jadi mangsa.
Te-ai ridicat la măreția destinului tău, Măria Ta. Mi-aș dori sa am unu la sută din curajul tău.
Bunul Dumnezeu sa te odihnească în cetele drepților.
„Dumnezeu sa vă veselească!" - așa își încheia Vlad unele scrisori. Despre curajosul și controversatul voievod român Vlad Țepeș recomand cu căldură canalul „Corpus Draculianum, în care istorici profesioniști prezintă toate cronicile, documentele administrative și corespondența sa! Vizionare placuta!
The actor doing Vlad is great. His face, body, expresion it's superbe. But the story is not true. Vlad is protecting his land, his religion, his legacy. What the hell is Mehmet doing in Romania? Mehmet was invader, who took money and became rich from the countries of the Balkans and above
"I protected you like a brother!"
Funny, coming from a guy who killed his own 2-year-old brother.
Mehmed II - After ascending the throne, he ordered the execution of his infant brother Ahmed to secure his position.
Bayezid II - Bayezid's ascension involved conflict with his brother Cem Sultan, who fled and later died in European captivity under suspicious circumstances.
Selim I - Upon his accession, he eliminated his brothers, Korkut and Ahmed, to eliminate any claims to the throne.
Murad III - After becoming sultan, he ordered the execution of his five younger brothers.
Mehmed III - Known for the execution of his 19 brothers upon his accession to the throne.
true
There was no fight like that. Vlad escaped to Hungary but Hungarian jailed and killed him. These scenes must be true stories. İt is not Game of trones finally.
Euron Greyjoy is that you?
Fatih Sultan Mehmet was unique. She was the last great emperor and kaiser. Dracula could never cope with Conqueror's war strategy. Vlad Dracula was a murderer who killed innocent people by impalement because she couldn't deal with Mehmet. However, there was a fact that Mehmet would not die without taking his revenge. For this reason, Vlad Durula's head was impaled and poured into the streets of Istanbul.
Her fight may have been long but for the first time she got what she deserved, not just in the bad guys movies, but in real life as well.
She 😂😂😂
Who is Dracula here, the guy on the left looks more like Dracula from the portrait but at the same time he seem like he could be Turkish and the guy on the right looks nothing like Dracula.
As a Christian I will always have vlads back 😢😮 always fight against the infidels 😮😢
vlad hero? my foot.
.between Vlad and Fatih, vlad literally the one that started the killing (kill civilians in Ottoman area, kill Ottoman messanger, kill his own people (poor people) instead of give them charity).
.yes Ottoman fight him but he died by his own people.
.if he really don't want protection and pay tax anymore just say it to Fatih. he learn with Fatih as child, he know should dialouge first before any war but he choose to kill first that means asking for war right away.
I like how orthodox peasents getting mad in comments lol
