Hapsburgs marrying her German family?

No, not the Hapsburgs: (from the 2011 CBS News link)

The link, it appears, is his great-grandmother, Mary of Teck, who was grandmother to Britain’s current ruler, Queen Elizabeth II, and was queen during the reign of King George V. A Wurttemberg princess, Mary - the woman for whom the liner Queen Mary was named - was believed descended from two of Vlad’s sons.

“Two of Vlad’s sons”?? Interesting family…..

ADD: Quick check w/ Wiki shows Mary had a Hungarian grandmother who was descended from 17th-Century “Princes of Transylvania”, though the connection with Vlad Dracula still seems a stretch.

CHeck it out later, I have to go give blood: back in a bit
