Alexandru Lapusneanu-a sort of Romanian GoT

In 1840, a Romanian author, Costache Negruzzi wrote a short historical novel about a medieval Romanian ruler named after the title who just lacked any kind of human redeeming qualities...
-he was actually a bastard child...but that meant nothing...unlike other countries in the past, Romanian provinces treated everyone the same...
-he wed a lovely, innocent, sweet maiden, that had her parents killed and basically her family were the rightful rulers...Lady Ruxandra
- he basically invited all his lords to a feast in order to "forgive them"....he went full on Game of Thrones and had killed all lords by chopping their heads off and then carefully making a pyramid with their heads...
-his wife tried stopping him from being such a cruel, sadistic jerk because she was frightened...He told her that he has a cure for fright....and  that cure was showing her the "pyramid"...Guess what a sweet, fragile thing such as herself did afterwards? Poor thing fainted...
-In the end our sweet lady poisoned him...THE END

Yup...I drew this only because of Game of Thrones....I mean look at this piece of literature and try convincing me this is not like Game a Thrones...this is the original baby XD jk jk 
Anyway this is actually compulsory to read back home....You have to read this before you get into high school...I like to call it a before Game of Thrones training I actually loved this in school...now I see why....XD
