Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I read the reason Dracula was imprisoned was because the King of Hungary had spent all the money for the army instead and didn't want to fight the Turks.

What does Dracula actually mean in Romanian? Some state it means "Son of the Dragon". This is debated over here.
Oh I am so sorry, I mixed up your sermon on Vlad Tepes with one of HoodedCobra's. I'm really sorry for that.
That might actually be the truth. And there is a reason behind that. The educational system is pushing a lot of dubious things around right now and they've did it as well in the past.
Just like the idea of the Latin origins or our kind - it is known here, historically, that our Latin blood comes from the period of Roman dominaiton after the wars that took place in 101-102, 105-106 in Dacia.
But the thing is, the Roman Empire only conquered around... I can't remember the exact procent. Around 20% of Dacia? Might be less. Only enough to reach the resources they actually needed.
And they've only been around for a couple hundreds of years. Taking that into consideration, even with a heavily process of romanization, it would've been impossible for our language to be so heavily based on Latin.
It's been recently discovered that things might he very different. It is said that the Emperor Traian and Decebal, the Dacian king, were able to understand each other and communicate. And that Traian referred to us as their brothers.
I'm quite sure this has been discussed before on the forums.
Of course, I couldn't even try to tell my history about this. He'd explode with rage.
The same thing can easily apply to other aspects of history.
Just because it's written in a textbook doesn't mean it's real.
But it is intriguing. Mainly because he was in good relations with Stephen the Great, Moldova's ruler. So if you'd like to find out more about this aspect, idea recommend studying his relations with Matei Corvin as well.
That being said, what you've read might very well be true.
Also, speaking about history. What do you think of
Publius Ovidious Naso? I'm reading his work and he is quite the interesting poet. He was exiled to Tomis - now known as Constanta in Romania - by the Emperor August. No one truly knows the reason why.
