Dan the Younger (executed in April 1460) (Also known as Dan the Pretender) was a pretender to the throne of Wallachia from 1456 to 1460. He was the son of Dan II of Wallachia who died fighting for the throne in 1431. After Dan's brother, Vladislav II of Wallachia, was killed by their cousin, Vlad Dracula, in a duel in 1456, Dan settled in Brașov. Besides Dan, Vlad Dracula's half-brother, Vlad the Monk, and Dan's brother, Basarab Laiotă, laid claim to Wallachia against Dracula. Dan tried to seize Wallachia with the support of the burghers of the town, but he was defeated and captured in a battle near Rucăr. He was forced to dig his own grave before being beheaded.

Pretender

Dan settled in Șcheii (outside the walls of Brașov) in Transylvania.Шаблон:Sfn Boyars from Wallachia and Făgăraș joined him.Шаблон:Sfn On 16 December 1456, John Hunyadi's son, Ladislaus Hunyadi, ordered the Saxons of Brașov and Țara Bârsei to support Dan against Vlad Dracula who had "caused much inconvenience and damage" in Transylvania, but Dan could not chase Vlad from Wallachia.Шаблон:Sfn The Saxon burghers of Sibiu supported Vlad Dracula's half-brother, Vlad the Monk, to seize Amlaș (which had been traditionally held in Transylvania by the princes of Wallachia) before 14 March 1457.Шаблон:Sfn

Ladislaus V of Hungary had Ladislaus Hunyadi executed on 16 March.Шаблон:Sfn Hunyadi's maternal uncle, Michael Szilágyi, rose up against the king, but the Transylvanian Saxons remained faithful to the monarch.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Taking advantage of the situation, Vlad Dracula plundered Țara Bârsei in 1457.Шаблон:Sfn Vlad's envoys were present at the negotiations between Szilágyi and the Saxons.Шаблон:Sfn Szilágyi and the Saxons signed a peace treaty on 23 or 24 November 1457, which obliged the burghers of Brașov to expel Dan from the town.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
