Was Vlad Tepes respected in Western Europe?

He stood up against Mehmed II and was backed up by the Pope apparently, is this true? And were there any other monarchs that helped Vlad in stopping the Ottomans?

If so are there any sources describing who and what kind of support he received?

Also did the western monarchs at the time consider him a tyrant or was he respected in some aspects?

I can't find any detailed sources about this just very summarized descriptions and I would be interested to hear about this.

Thank you
