Țiganiada
''Țiganiada'' is a Romanian epic poem written by poet and scholar Ion Budai-Deleanu, the first epic poem written in the Romanian language. The poem features a fictionalized version of Vlad the Impaler's reign. The heroicomical poem treats an allegorical subject with satirical, antifeudal and anticlerical tendencies, being a complex and unexpectedly modern literary work that contains a significant amount of Enlightenment ideas. Budai-Deleanu used Romanian words of Slavic origin to make it sound more ancient. It includes twelve songs in 1381 stanzas. History and structure The first version of Țiganiada was written in 1800, and the second in 1812. At least three editions were published, although they contained errors and were truncated. The poem was duly published in 1925.Ion Budai Deleanu, p ...

Vlad The Impaler
Vlad III, commonly known as Vlad the Impaler ( ) or Vlad Dracula (; ; 1428/31 – 1476/77), was Voivode of Wallachia three times between 1448 and his death in 1476/77. He is often considered one of the most important rulers in Wallachian history and a national hero of Romania. He was the second son of Vlad Dracul, who became the ruler of Wallachia in 1436. Vlad and his younger brother, Radu, were held as hostages in the Ottoman Empire in 1442 to secure their father's loyalty. Vlad's eldest brother Mircea and their father were murdered after John Hunyadi, regent-governor of Hungary, invaded Wallachia in 1447. Hunyadi installed Vlad's second cousin, VladislavII, as the new voivode. Hunyadi launched a military campaign against the Ottomans in the autumn of 1448, and Vladislav accompanied him.

Cultural Depictions Of Vlad The Impaler
Culture ( ) is a concept that encompasses the social behavior, institutions, and norms found in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities, attitudes, and habits of the individuals in these groups.Tylor, Edward. (1871). ''Primitive Culture''. Vol 1. New York: J. P. Putnam's Son Culture often originates from or is attributed to a specific region or location. Humans acquire culture through the learning processes of enculturation and socialization, which is shown by the diversity of cultures across societies. A cultural norm codifies acceptable conduct in society; it serves as a guideline for behavior, dress, language, and demeanor in a situation, which serves as a template for expectations in a social group. Accepting only a monoculture in a social group can bear risks, just as a single species can wither in the face of environmental change, for lack of functional responses to the change. Thus in military culture, valor is counted a ...
