The true "heir" of Vlad the mpaler
I've seen many claims about people being the "heirs" of Vlad, but they're all shaky, as they're very distantly related to him. So I did some diging to who should be Vlad's true heir. Obviously, because of the lack of documents and information, this may not be 100% accurate, but it's interesting to see other descendants of Vlad aswel. For this, I've mostly used the Famille Ghika Website. To find the "heir" I went with the oldest male in the family and if there weren't any men, then women. This is what I ended up with. Vlad's descendants and true "heirs" may be very likely living in Türkiye, as his great-great grandson, Mihnea, moved to the Ottoman Empire and had a harem, where he fathered 4 children. Those 4 children could also produce children, but there aren't any sources to suggest that. So I went to another branch of the family. I originaly thought of adding Maria, sister of Alexandru II and wife of Michael Cantacuzino, but I chose not to, as the only thing to suggest a link between one of Alexandru's sister and Cantacuzino is a 1570s document, which calls Cantacuzino a brother in law to Peter the Lame of Moldavia and Milosh, brothers of Alexandru. No children are mentioned with this wife though. So, since I didn't want to go on speculations and create more confusion, I decided to go with Radu's line. There wasn't that much trouble, until I got to Neculai Rosetti (1794-1858), as his male line descendants are likely dead and I couldn't find any living descendants of his daughters. So I went to his brother, Alecu. According to it, the true "heir" of Vlad is Serban Budu, son of Mona Budu-Ghyka and Florian Budu, coincidentally the founders of the "famille Ghika website". If you have any information, if Neculai Rosetti (1794-1858) has any living descendants, or if you yourself are one, then you can correct me in the comments.
