The Legend of Dracula 💀☠️☠️☠️



Published in 1897, Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula" was able to create a new literary taste for vampires among fans and a subsequent wave of films. Because of this, the name "Dracula" was immortalized among vampire characters who used supernatural powers to hunt people and drink their blood. To create Bram Stoker's Dracula, he no doubt drew on folklore about the "undead" popular in medieval Europe. However, did you know that the character "Dracula" was inspired by historical accounts of the 15th century Romanian prince Vlad Tepes? Prince Vlad Tepes, born in Transylvania as the second son of a nobleman named Vlad Dracul II, received the name Dracula, meaning "son of Dracula". That's when he joined a secret organization of Christian knights known as the Order of the Dragon (Dracula means "dragon" in Romanian).


As the ruler of Wallachia, now part of Romania, Prince Vlad Tepes was notorious for a variety of brutal punishment tactics, including the brutal torture, mutilation, and mass murder of his enemies. He never hesitated to mutilate, decapitate, steam or skin his enemies while they were still alive. However, his favorite method of punishment was to drive a wooden spike through the bodies of his enemies and watch them die.


During his war against the Ottoman invaders in 1462, Prince Vlad Tepes is said to have slaughtered 20,000 people with wooden spikes on the banks of the Danube River. He was later captured and imprisoned by Hungarian forces. Finally, he was able to regain power in 1476, but was killed in battle that same year. According to some reports, Vlad used the bodies of those killed with wooden spikes as his own food. It is no secret that this terrifying tale of Vlad Tepes, the name "Dracula" and his birthplace, Transylvania, formed the basis for Bram Stoker's famous vampire fiction.
