Editing Dragos Ionuț (section)

== Early life ==
Dragos Ionuț was born on 12 April 1478 in Wallachia, a principality located in what is today [[Romania]]. He was the unplanned result of a one-night encounter between Mircea Slugerul din Argeș, a minor Wallachian noble and son of Vicu, and a woman named Elena, who lived in poverty and worked as a prostitute.

After Elena became pregnant, Mircea abandoned her and refused responsibility. Elena gave birth to a baby boy whose name was never formally recorded. Unable to support the child while living on the streets and working in a brothel, she brought the infant to Mircea’s residence and left him there. Mircea rejected the child and ordered him removed, after which the infant was abandoned on the street.
