When did Dracula become a vampire?

Answer 1

There is no historical evidence to support the claim of vampirism being a condition of Vlad Tepes. However, as another of his names was "Vlad Dracula" -meaning son of Dragon after his father Vlad II Dracul- it is believed that he inspired the name of Bram Stoker's Count. Also, he did commonly use the impalement method used to kill the vampires of Stoker's universe.

Answer 2

Vlad Tepes was the ruler of Romania for a period of time. He was said to have been very brutal and a harsh bloody ruler. He however was not a vampire. His character, and personality however did influance a writer called Bram stoker, to create a final character called Dracula, who was a vampire. But over all, no, Vlad Tepes was not a vampire. Just a bloody war-lord, who fought against the Ottoman empire (The Turks)

Answer 3

He was the king of Transylvania. He went to war with a the formidable adversary, Rome. Rome had won so many battles that his lover was certain he would lose and die, so she killed herself. He came back to find the catholic priests calling her a sinner for taking her life. He then stabs the cross on the altar of his temple and curses god for repaying him for fighting the war for god by taking his lovers life. He says " I will take my revenge, with all the forces of the dark," he is talking about taking revenge against god by joining the devil. The devil gives him his vampire powers and he is to cause pain, suffering and death upon the living for eternity. This is the most common storyline. It is by Bram Stoker. But there are many others

• He was King of Wallanchia, not Transylvania.
• He went to war against the Ottoman Turks not Rome.

Answer 4

Vlad II Dracul, father of Vlad III Ţepeş

"Dracula" is only a legend promoted by Bram Stoker and many movies. Dracula was based off Vlad III Tepes, son of Dracul. Legend has it that Vlad III Tepes was found in his tomb 100 years after his death with blood smeared on his face. So became the legend of Count Dracula.

I hope this helped! (:

Answer 5

No Vlad the Impaler was never a vampire. There was a mix-up in a medal his father recieved from the Austro-Hungarian Emperor. It had a dragon on it, and the people pronounced it Dracula. So that would make him Vlad the Impaler.

Answer 6

The real Vlad Dracula was never and never will be a vampire. However, his brutality towards his enemies helped create the vampire myth and his name was attached to it.
