According to some accounts, Dracula's brother Radu died in 1474. The sultan put Basarab Batrinul, on the Walachian throne. In 1476 Dracula invaded Walachia with the help of Moldavia and Transylvania. They drove Basarab out of the country, and Dracula again became Walachia's prince. Most of Dracula's army then went home to Transylvania.
The Turks attacked a few months later. Dracula was killed while fighting near Bucharest.
Some say he was assassinated on the battlefield by his own boyards. After his death, Dracula was decapitated and his head was put on display in Constantinople. His body was buried in a monastery he had built near Snagov, in Romania. (Centuries later, the grave was examined. The only remains found were bones from an animal.)
