I've read a book about the read Dracula. His name was Vlad Temp or Vlad the Impaler, guess why! That's right he LOVED to impale his enemies. The castle famous to be Dracula's home, Vlad built some miles away from his home town, I think it was for his wife not too sure. But anyway he was a nutter. He had a dinner party, with impaled prisoners in the neighbouring room, and when one of his guests complained about the wailing, then got impaled himself. He also made the spikes blunt for his enemies so that it was more painful and died slower. Also (sorry I know I'm going on a bit) His country was under threat by the erm someone, who had a better army, more men, and more money. So Vlad captured a couple hundred of them, impaled them by the entrance to the capital, so that when the enemy army came, they got so scared they actually ran away! He was celebrated in his country, although he was a nutter, during his reign they faced almost no threats off other countries and felt extreme secure.

Its historical fact that he was.

Link to wikipedia's article on him

'Vlad the Impaler' is the real historic figure behind the Dracula myth. He got the name from the fact he loved to take his enemies heads and put them on STAKES and line them around his castle (yes, there is a real Dracula's castle) as a decoration to any who dare cross him.

I remember learning about him in my History class. It was by far the coolest school topic ever discussed.

SARA!!!!!!! *Pounce* Lmao sorry raven33 is one of my real life best friends. I <3 her to death. Silly Sara! You should know the answer to this!

Vlad "The Impailer" Dracula was a prince in Trasylvania. he wasn't a vamprie (that we know of) but he was a very cruel prince who imapailed a LOT of people in hes lifetime.

Vlad Dracul was real but Bram Stoker had never heard of him when he wrote "Dracula". The story is in no way based on Vlad the Impaler...So says the History Channel...
