The Drăculeşti were one of two major rival lines of Wallachian voivodes of the House of Basarab, the other being the Dăneşti. These lines were in constant contest for the throne from the late fourteenth to the early sixteenth centuries. Descendents of this line would eventually come to dominate the rule of this principality until its unification with Transylvania and Moldavia by Mihai Viteazul in 1600.
The line of the Drăculeşti began in 1386 with the rule of Mircea cel Bătrân, one of the most important rulers in Wallachian history. The name Drăculeşti is however derived from the membership of Mircea's son Vlad II Dracul "the Dragon" in the Order of the Dragon (founded 1408). The son of Vlad II was Vlad III Drăculea ("Dracula", i.e. " of Dracul").
