Vladislav II of Wallachia

Vladislav II (died c. August 22, 1456) was a ruler of the principality of Wallachia, from 1447 to 1448, and again from 1448 to 1456.

Vladislav assassinated Vlad II Dracul, ruler of Wallachia, and was subsequently placed on the throne by John Hunyadi. On July 22, 1456, Dracul's son, Vlad III Dracula killed Vladislav in hand-to-hand combat. Although Vladislav's gravestone is marked August 22, 1456, that was the date of the engraving.
