Vlad III the Impaler: The Original Dracula

Wednesday, May 4th, 2011 | Quotes

Vlad III, son of Prince Vlad Dracul, briefly ruled Wallachia in the mid-15th century. Known as Dracula, meaning “Son of the Dragon” or “Son of the Devil,” Vlad lived up to his moniker. He ruled with terrible cruelty, impaling tens of thousands and earning his own nickname—”the Impaler.” The novel Dracula by Bram Stoker, although not based on Vlad’s historical exploits, introduced the name Dracula to a global audience. What other execution methods are said to have been favored by Vlad? Discuss
