Szilágyi, Zofia (person)

Zofia Szilágyi was the first wife of Dracula, a Hungarian noblewoman, her marriage arranged by Dracula's father. Although Dracula absolutely despised Zofia, they had a child together named Lilith and the fact that he was given a female heir infuriated Dracula even more. Dracula routinely abused Zophia mentally and physically, while he had affairs with many women.
== History ==
=== Early Years ===
Born in the first few decades of the 15th century in the Hungarian Nobility, Lady Zofia Szilágyi's marriage to Vlad II Dracul's son, Vlad Basarab III, was arranged to insure a connection between the Principality of Wallachia and Hungary.
=== Adulthood & Marriage ===
Zofia's marriage to Vlad Draculea was overseen by John Hunyadi, despite Vlad abhorrence of her. It was only after they concieved their child, Lilith. Blaming her for their child's sex, Vlad started to abuse Zofia and humiliate her through many extramarital affairs.
Eventually, Dracula's treatment of Zophia worsened to the point where he could not even bare to stand her. After his father died, he stripped her of her royal title and demanded that she leave the castle with Lilith. Distraught, Zophia turned Lilith over to a gypsy woman named Gretchen to raise. With her daughter cared for, Zophia committed suicide in grief over her life situation.
Zofia was survived by Lilith, who was in later years turned into a vampire even more powerful than Dracula (and without the same weaknesses and limitations of her father) by Gretchen as revenge against the cruel vampire king. Over the centuries, Lilith often plagued her father in revenge for his treatment of her mother those many centuries ago.
