>>He wasn’t send by his father; he was taken/abducted by Turks. You see Turks took boys each year from every country they conquered and trained them to be fighters for their army.
Oh no, Vlad II (Vlad the Impaler's father) was ordered by the King of Hungary to fulfill his oath and drive the Turks out of Europe. He declined, and was kicked off his throne. Vlad II later regained his throne *with the help* of the Turks, which he courted. As insurance, the Turks insisted that Vlad II send his sons Vlad III (the Impaler) and Radu as hostage to the Ottoman Empire.
>> These 30,000 people you are taken about were Turks. He beat them and as a reminder for those who still thought to come and conquer Romania, impaled them.
Not in the beginning - those 30,000 people are mostly merchants and boyars from the the Transylvanian city of BraÅŸov. This was before the Turks tried to invade Wallachia (*that* was because their puppet, Vlad III The Impaler, decided not to pay tribute to the Ottoman Empire anymore).
Of course, as he defeated some of the Turkish invaders, he did impale them too.
My father in law had a 350Z convertible. He thought it would make him popular with the ladies, but humorously said that the car was actually a dude magnet.
Once, homeless guy gave him the thumbs up, an approval for him driving such a cool car.
Never once did a woman look adoringly at the car or him in it!
Now on to more meaty stuff:
