Who Was Dracula?

Dracula

He was more than a fictional character created by Bram Stoker. In reality, he is inspired by the historical figure of Vlad Țepeș, also known as Vlad the Dragon, ruler of Romania in the 15th century. Known for his fearless fight against the Ottoman invaders as well as his draconian methods of punishing criminals, Vlad the Impaler became legendary for his cruelty, sparking the imagination of writers throughout time.

Vlad Țepeș was also nicknamed Vlad Dracula, due to his father, Vlad II Dracula, who was a member of the knightly order of the Dragon, an institution that fought against Ottoman expansion in Europe. This association of the name with the legendary figure of Dracula had a profound impact on Gothic literature, transforming Țepeş into a symbol of evil, darkness and ruthless bloodlust, images that still persist in contemporary popular culture and influence representations of vampires in literature and film.
