Why did Dracula suck blood?

Answer 1

Prince Vlad did drink blood. He would take his bread and dip it into the buckets of blood that he would put under the people he killed on the stakes. He was known for carrying out extremely cruel torture and executions.

Prince Vlad had a man over for dinner one night. Vlad saw that the man wasnt very pleased. Vlad asked him, "What is wrong?" The man looked at him and said i cant stand the smell of all of the rotting corpes. Prince Vlad smiled and said well if you cant stand the smell... Vlad had one of his men cut of the mans nose. When the man was dead Vlad had him put on a stake to hang there driping with blood like the others. Prince Vlad smiled at the man and said "Well you wont have to smell the corpes any more!" He laughed rigth after.

Early belief in vampires is 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 what they didn't understand.

Historically, the name "Dracul" comes from group of knights in old Romania called the Order of the Dragon. Vlad II Dracul, father of Vlad III Ţepeş's (who is the person history calls Vlad the Impaler) was admitted to the order around 1431. The name Dracula means "Son of Dracul".

In modern Romanian, it means "son of the devil" but in Vlad's time it meant "son of the dragon."

Bram Stoker borrowed the name for his famous vampire novel, "Dracula," 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 life Dracula was a prince.

It was believed in myth that Vampires drank the blood of the living to keep themselves going. As blood is seen as the energy of life iteself, it makes sense that the undead would seek it.

Answer 2

This name Vlad the Impaler was never used in Vlad's Lifetime. The First document with the name Vlad Tepes, does not appear until 1550 may. In 1475 to 1476, Vlad Signed his name VLadislaus Dracula... undisputed by historical records. The twisting of his history is due to many wanting to incorporate the myth of Vampirism with his history. This has mainly stemmed form McNally's fabrication/ translation of the poem by Michel Behiam and his haughty interview on the Discovery Channel. see the truth.
