Radu cel Frumos (= the handsome) was the brother of Vlad III. He was in slavery with his brother and eventually became the slave/lover of Vlads enemy, Sultan Mehmet II from the Ottoman Empire. He died a slow and painful death after contracting what is described as a sexually transmitted disease.
There has been more then one answer to this question because there are many stories about Vlad and his brother, but the one i have heard the most from my grandfather who infact lives in Romania is that Radu and Vlad were fighting over the roomers that had been going around that Radu was going to get the thrown and get rid of Vlad, which drove Vlad to throw his brother out of the Royal line to the thrown all together, then Radu was murdered that night Vlad had thrown him out, which Drove Vlad into an anger most vilent, and he lived most of the remainder of his life in depression. that might be more of an answer you were looking for (sorry)
He was born in Sighisoara, Transylvania. In 1444, at the age of thirteen, young Vlad and his brother Radu were sent to Adrianople as hostages, to appease the Sultan. He remained there until 1448, at which time he was released by the Turks, who supported him as their candidate for the Wallachian throne.
Vlad the Impalor got his name from the fact that he would impale his enemies on large spikes through the anus if it was a male, or if an adulterous women, through the vagina. He committed other cruel and violent acts, but he is most famous for his impalement's, he killed a grand total of about 40, 000 people in his life time. Most of these people were impaled.
one of them was Poienari Castle
Vlad Tepes hated the Turks because they took over his most of his country. His father was forced to give Vlad and his younger brother Radu over to the Ottomans court when they were still fairly young. They were forced to learn their cultures etc. And Radu eventually became one of of young boys in the Harem - to be used for sexual services. Vlad's father and older brother were killed after they tried to fight the Turks. His father was buried alive along with Mircea, who had already had his eyes poked out by hot pokers. Vlad was rebelious and wished to get away from them and so they placed him upon the throne of Wallachia, believing they could control while he got his desired 'freedom'. Vald eventually started his own revolt against the Turks to succeeding

Vlad Tepes (Cepeš)
The movie Vlad Tepes was released in 1971. It was directed by Doru Nastase, and tells the story of Vlad Tepes, perhaps better known as Vlad the Impaler.
It's the surname of Vlad Tepes, often called Vlad Dracul, the Prince of Wallachia in the 15th century and the man who lent his name to Dracula the Vampire. "Tepes" is Romanian for "Impaler"; "Vlad Tepes" means "Vlad the Impaler".
Vlad tepes was known as Vlad the impaler through his own country of Romania and by his enemies the Turks ect.. It was more like a nickname, something to better his image or in this scare, to strike fear into those who heard and said his name. Like his brother radu was also known as 'Radu the Handsome'. These nickname often come from their personalities, like Ivan the terrible, or Vlad the impaler.
He was born in Sighisoara, Transylvania. In 1444, at the age of thirteen, young Vlad and his brother Radu were sent to Adrianople as hostages, to appease the Sultan.
