In every language related to the Vlach/Wallchian language, the root word Dracu, derived from the Latin Drago, means Dragon. The only languages where this differentiates are Turkish and Magyar, languages from peoplegroups that Vlad Tepes notably had committed several atrocities upon. All the prior editor would have to have done was open a Romanian, Aromanian, or otherwise Vlach language dictionary and they would have realized this.← Previous edit | Revision as of 18:28, 28 May 2021 edit undoSuper Dromaeosaurus (talk | contribs)Autopatrolled, Extended confirmed users57,405 editsNo edit summaryNext edit → | ||

The House of Drăculești (Romanian: [drəkuˈleʃtʲ]) were one of two major rival lines of Wallachian voivodes of the House of Basarab, the other being the House of Dănești. These lines were in constant contest for the throne from the late fourteenth to the early sixteenth centuries. Descendants of the line of Drăculești would eventually come to dominate this principality until its common rule with Transylvania and Moldavia by Mihai Viteazul in 1600.
The line of the Drăculești began with Vlad II Dracul, son of one of the most important rulers of the Basarab dynasty, Mircea cel Bătrân. The name Drăculești is derived from the membership of Vlad II Dracul (in Romanian and related languages, drac meant "dragon") in the Order of the Dragon (founded 1408).
