Vlad Draculea ruled Wallachia, an area of southern Romania, in the mid-15th century. He was given the name Tepes, which means "Impaler," because of his preferred method of punishment and torture.Don Linke.com: Vlad the Impaler
Inspiration for a Horror Icon
Bram Stoker drew heavily from the life of Vlad the Impaler to give the title character of his vampire novel Dracula a sense of history and menace.Both the fictional Count Dracula and the historical Vlad the Impaler are from Transylvania. In the novel, the claim is made that a vampire must be decapitated or it will rise again. Vlad the Impaler's body was discovered in a bog, decapitated. In Stoker's book, Count Dracula is depicted with a long, white mustache and strong features. This is similar to how Vlad the Impaler may have looked had he lived to old age.Vlad the Impaler.com: Vlad the Impaler vs. Dracula
