To counter act this horrible statement, I have decided to provide you all with the information on Vlad Tepes III, also known as Vlad the Impaler, and Dracula.
Dracula, btw, means "Son of Dracul" his father's title was Vlad Dracul.
For crying out loud, don't they teach you kids ANYTHING in school anymore?
"
Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia, more commonly known as
Vlad the Impaler (
Vlad Ţepeş in
Romanian), also known as
Vlad Dracula, or simply
Dracula (1431 – December 1476), was a
Wallachian (present-day southern
Romania)
voivode. 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.
[1] Impalement was Tepe's preferred method of torture and execution.
[2]
In the
English-speaking world, Vlad III is perhaps most commonly known for inspiring the name of the
vampire in
Bram Stoker's 1897 novel
Dracula.
[3]
As prince, Vlad maintained an independent policy in relation to the
Ottoman Empire[4] and was a defender of Wallachia against
Ottoman expansionism."
