Fight for the throne
After the death of his father , Mihnea ambitiously tried to moisten them to the throne . He organized several raids with the help of boyars who supported his father and were eager to support his son . In 1508 Mihnea finally succeeded to the throne but would not enjoy much of the reign, since the boyars had noticed the familiar pattern of Romanian patriotism hated him as much as his father . He wanted an Eastern Europe without Turkish domination and aggression . But because of the corrupt boyars he will have a similar fate to his father's .
Mihnea was married twice . His first wife Smaranda died before 1485 . His second wife , Voica, became a widow after Mihnea's murder . After his death , Voica continued to raise his two sons Mircea II and Milos and daughter Ruxandra living in Sibiu , Transylvania. It is said that Mihnea preferred to give the name to his son Mircea II after his great-grandfather Mircea The Elder .
He pursued an authoritarian policy to the detriment of the great Boyar, which he decimated, the documents accusing him of unsurpassed atrocities "pre-caught all the great and elected boyars and labored them with labors, and took all their wealth". In these circumstances, the boyars of Craiovesti fled, in September 1509, south of the Danube, leaving their fortunes to the wrath of the Lord. They manage, with the support of Mehmed beg, to obtain the reign for their suitor, Vlad the younger. He provides them with an army, with the help of which to drive out the Lord. Sensing the danger, Mihnea ceded the throne to his son Mircea in October 1509, remaining in the country until January 1510, when Craiovesti, together with the Ottoman army, crossed the Danube. He settled in Sibiu, where he was assassinated on leaving the church on March 12, 1510. At the assassination was present his son Mircea II who was only 16 years old, he will kill three of his father's assassins and the fourth will flee wounded in the hand .
