Vlad the Impaler


Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia called "Vlad the Impaler" or simply Dracula, was born in Romania in 1431-december 1476. As a prince, Vlad defended Wallachia from Ottoman Expansionism. Many thought of him as the prince of justice, however, the vast majority viewed him as the prince of darkness. He is said to have impaled his enemies during his reign, and drink their blood but nobody knows that for sure. His legacy continues through century's, written books, movies, tales, many seem to glorify this troubled warrior, while others make him out to be a undead creature lurking in the night. Whatever the case may be, vampire tales have survived for centuries and will live on until the end of time, the only thing we know for sure is that Vlad did exist and though he was not an immortal, he immortalized the ficticious creatures rendered from his life.
