Nobody knows for sure, estimates vary between 40,000 and 100,000 people who died by exexution at his order. The most often quoted number is 80,000. Not all of these died by impalement; though a significant number of them did.
Vlad the Impaler's mother was Princess Cneajna of Moldavia.

Vlad Teppes is a Wallachian prince. He is also known as Vlad the Impaler and Vlad Dracula. He fought for his country against the Ottoman Turks. He was a violent and cruel person and he impaled many people, usually enemies. Their are many stories surrounding his cruelty. For example, it is said that he invited the homeless to eat than he killed them in a fire.
Vlad the Impalor got his name from the fact that he would impale his enemies on large spikes through the anus if it was a male, or if an adulterous women, through the vagina. He committed other cruel and violent acts, but he is most famous for his impalement's, he killed a grand total of about 40, 000 people in his life time. Most of these people were impaled.
He impaled them by tying their legs to horses as a stake was driven through their body, or by dropping them on spikes
I know it sucked pretty bad. A lot of people being impaled by that guy
Vlad Ţepeş (Vlad III the Impaler), ruler of Wallachia, is considered a Romanian hero because Vlad was a strong fighter against the Turks invaders, German merchant smugglers, thieves, etc. Vlad was severe but correct and exceptionally patriot and courageous.Dracula and the other stories for children are only legends for naive tourists.
Vlad the Impaler ruler of Romania was very cruel. He impaled people on a pole and left them to rot out on his castle grounds others to see. The Count Dracula myth is based on Vlad. Also, Hitler who killed 6,000,000 Jews wasn't too friendly either.
He impaled other people not himself. Funny answer, but seriously, not a whole lot is known about Vlad's personal life outside of his two marriages, other than an alleged affair with a woman named Catarina/Ecaterina, who he was rumored to be very involved with and might have been the reason for his imprisonment in Hungary. He may or may not have had any homosexual affairs, but many suspect that his brother, Radu the Handsome was involved with Mehmed the II, the son of the Sultan who held him and Vlad hostage when they were young.
Tens of thousands
No he was not .He impaled his people
Vlad Dracula was at war with the Ottaman Turk. When ever he defeated a Turkish army he would kill all the captive to make sure they wouldn't invade again. Vlad the Impaler killed so many people so he could rule Wallachia easier because its easier to rule over people that are afraid of you. Vlad would perfectly fit the modern clinical description "sadistic psychopath". He truly enjoyed torturing and killing others.
Nothing. The vampire rumours didn't start until Abraham Stoker made references between vampires and 'somebody that could be Vlad' in the book Dracula. Long after the original Vlad was dead. Rumour has it that the Germans settlers in Transylvania (his opponents) were those who launched a smear campaign against the Wallah (now-Romanian) Prince. The rumours were helped by the cruel form of capital punishment chosen by Vlad.
