Vlad Dracula (Dracula meaning "Son of the Dragon") of Wallachia (now part of Romania) was a warlord in the 1400's known for his battles against the Ottomans, and his impalement of enemies (said to be upwards of 80,000) to set an example against opposing him.

The historical records of his actions and the vampire legends from that region were combined by Bram Stoker to create the fictional vampire character of Dracula. Romanians in fact hold the real Vlad Dracula as a national hero for defending the country against Ottoman invasion, and many are offended at his being made into a monster.
