Not much, as I haven't seen the book in question.
Here's the descent of Queen Mary from the father of Vlad the Impaler (the
historical Dracula):
Vlad Dracul (d. 1446, father of Vlad the Impaler) = Catuna
Vlad IV ("the Monk") Prince of Wallachia (d. 1495) m. Rada/Samaranda
Radu IV ("the Great") Prince of Wallachia (d. 1508) m. Catalina
Mircea III ("the Shepherd") Prince of Wallachia (d. 1559) m. Chiajna of
Moldavia
Stana of Wallachia m. Ioan, logofat of Pitesti
Zamphira Logofat de Szazsebes m. Peter Racz de Galgo
Adam Racz de Galgo (liv 1609) m. Ilona Thoroczkay
