Vlad III (1431-1476) was a Prince of Wallachia (now Romania), known as Vlad the Impaler (Vlad Tepes), aka Vlad Dracula. He was the son of Vlad II Dracul, a duke of Wallachia. The father's name indicated he was a member of the Order of the Dragon (Dracul). The father left Vlad and his younger brother as favored prisoners of the Turks, who educated them.

This bloodthirsty reputation led to the adoption of his name for Bram Stoker's Transylvanian vampire character, Count Dracula.

What is the true story of Vlad the Impaler?
"Vlad the Impaler III, Dracula" was a warrior and reputed to have been a just, though a very harsh, ruler. His victories over the invading Ottomans were celebrated throughout Wallachia, Transylvania and the rest of Europe as well as Pope Pius II. By the time he came to power, he was set on revenge because of the atrocities done to his father, grandfather and family. If a visitor did not pay homage of courtesy to him by removing their hat, he nailed the hat to their head. He impaled prisoners, mostly the nobility to whom once the Dracul family had been kind and now wronged his family. He also tortured his prisoners, the same Turks who had murdered his father. His main way to torture his enemies was by impaling them on a stake, using their posterior half way up through the victim's body, standing him up and letting gravity pull the body down the stake. He then set up the impaled body of his enemies in his courtyard. Some say, he dined there, dipping his bread in the blood and eating it. DRACULA, inspired Bram Stoker who used the name, his bloodline; however, read his history and you'll know who the man he really was before he became known as "Vlad the Impaler."

the previous answer was completely incorrect. Vlad did in fact use swords in direct combat, im a bit foggy as to what the name of the sword is but it looks like a variation of the spartan sword mixed with a sabre. the deep curve of the blade caused great cutting potential especially since all of the weight is at the top of the blade. vlad only impailed people after the battle was over because impailing would take up too much time on the battlefeild.

When did Dracula become a vampire?
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.
Was Dracula a real vampire?
No. Early belief in vampires has thought to have come from people at the time not fully understanding the process of a body decomposing after death and so trying to rationalize this by creating the figure of the vampire to explain it. The name comes from Vlad the Impaler, prince of Wallachia (now part of Romania). In modern Romanian, it means "son of the devil" but in Vlad's time it meant "son of the dragon." Vlad is somewhat of a national hero in Romania for preventing the expansion of the Ottoman Empire but he was (and is) notorious for the cruelty of the punishments he meted out -- his favorite method being impalement. Bram Stoker borrowed the name for his famous vampire novel, "Dracula," but there is no evidence that the historic Dracula ever drank blood. Stoker toured Romania while gathering material for his novel and heard of Vlad in his travels. However, he demoted his character to the rank of count. The real Dracula was a prince. He demoted his character to the rank of count because Vlad the Impaler's father was a count for the king of France. The king of France set up and order called the Order Of The Dragons. He sent the counts to rule all over the world. Vlad Tepes, Vlad the Impaler's father was sent to Romania in a town called Wallachia, now Transylvania. Vlad Tepes was proud of the order. He put the sign of the order: a dragon on the Romanian flag. The Romanian people back then were very poor and uneducated. TheY thought the dragon was the Devil, or "Dracul" in Romanian. Later, Vlad Tepes's son was born, and the rest is explained in the top paragraph.
Why did Vlad the impaler kill as many 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.
