Description
Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia called "Vlad the Impaler" and also known as Vlad Dracula, in Romanian Drăculea (1431 – December 1476), was a Wallachian (southern Romania) voivode (military commander).
His three reigns were in 1448, 1456–1462, and 1476. Vlad the Impaler is known for the exceedingly cruel punishments he imposed during his reign as recorded in later chronicles. However, in many stories of Slavic origin and in his native Romania he is a national and Christian hero, helping to save Europe from the Turks. In the English-speaking world, Vlad III is best known for possibly inspiring the name of Count Dracula in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula. Although this identification has been questioned, the story of Vlad and of Dracula has become intertwined in film, fiction, legend, and in serious attempts at historical reconstruction.
