Wasn't just their heads, Vlad did a whole body thing. The Turkish troops were mounted on large stakes.

Now, question is, were they Turks or were they Christians from throughout the other parts of the Balkans?

First time Vlad did that, I would imagine the second time the Turkish field commanders gave him nothing but Orthodox cannon-fodder.

If I remember my reading history correctly, Vlad impaled anyone and everyone that collaborated with the Turks. Dude, didn’t play around and he’s a hero IMO. He slowed down the Turks significantly from continued movement into Western Europe.
