Vlad is his name, impaling was his game. Vlad III the Impaler had a lot to be angry about. His father was assassinated. His brother was tortured (really tortured, as in, blinded with hot iron stakes and buried alive). When he became the leader of his native land, an area of the Balkans then known as Wallachia (now much of modern-day Romania) in 1456, his first order of business was revenge. His brutal punishment methods were well known. It is said he often ordered people to be skinned, boiled, decapitated, blinded and roasted. He also liked to cut off people's noses, ears, limbs and sexual organs. But his favorite punishment of all was impalement, hence his sobriquet, the Impaler.
