What was Vlad the Impaler famous for?
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. But when Vlad assumed his father's dukedom, he engaged in cruel and sadistic practices such as impaling his enemies or burning children alive. 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."
