The rules of Wallachia were thus forced to apaciguir these two empires to maintain their survival, often forging alliances with the one or other, depending on what served its own interest in that then. Vlad III is known by Rumanian people for its success in being unemployed until the Turks of usurpation of the Ottoman and to establish relative independence and sovereignty (despite by a relatively brief time).


Another factor that influenced political life was the means of the succession to the throne of Wallachian. The throne was hereditary, but not by the law of primogeniture. Boyars (noble rich landowners) had the right to choose voivode (prince) between of several elegibles members of the real family. This allowed the succession to the throne with violent means. The murders and other violent overthrows of ruling parties were thus wild. In fact, Vlad III and its father assassinated competitors to obtain the throne of Wallachia.
