King Charles III is actually 16th great-grandson of Vlad The Impaler via his great-grandmother, Queen Mary. Even if Vlad never ruled Transylvania, he was born in Sighisoara.

Wonderful presentation of this place in Romania that I, a resident of Romania, have not yet visited.
I am amazed by the variety of places you visited and I am glad that many were from Romania, which you seem to appreciate. Thank you!
