He's a European hero in my eyes. The Ottomans wanted to conquer and enslave Europe. He didn't let them, and gave them a taste of their own barbaric medicine.

@lifeneverends7068 Hey, I respect the Ottomans/Turks. But, I absolutely do not want Europe to be Islamic or under their rule. It's nothing personal, just...difference of opinion and outlook. They were more than welcome to conquer everywhere else though, I couldn't care less about that.

Actually dracul was his fathers name and la was added when vlad was born. It means son of the dragon. This was common back in those days where they were add a slight variation to the end of someone’s name to signify. This is the son of that person. But let’s meet in the middle Dracula was not a good man, but he was a good ruler. I cannot act like he wasn’t a tyrant because he was he punished the guilty along with the innocent his people fear him. They did not love him. They feared him. But of course, his methods led to a positive outcome so today it depends on where you go, but the people off that country will hold him in great regard and they’ll act like the terrible things he did is straight up propaganda. But it’s not he literally did impale people somewhere so that he got the nickname.

Not close to or very similar to but exactly like. I'll never see that full transformation here, but I see bits and pieces coming through more and more each day, and when I leave this world to meet Him, then my heart will be just like His. Where in Vlad the impalers "ministry" did that ever happen? That's some hokey nonsense, what you said.

They were successful in conquering huge territories, creating empires and fighting with fewer troops than their enemies. Vlad was good in resistance, his guerrilla cruel methods were not something new, innovative or unheard. He didn't expand his principality neither conquered his enemies. He just tried to survive.

Brown Stoker did not turn Vlad into a monster. He already was a monster. He was a tyrant. He impale people he punished the guilty and the innocent. He ruled his country with an iron fist under a blanket of fear people were freaking scared of the man he was a tyrant. That is the history brown Stoker took and created his Dracula, but Avon isn’t all of who Dracula is. took it from bits and pieces of different history to make Dracula.

Let’s ask AI.> “Yes, Vlad the Impaler, also known as Vlad III, stopped Muslim hordes by defeating the Ottoman Empire in 1462: Impaling the Sultan's envoys When the Ottoman Sultan, Mehmed Il, ordered Vlad to pay homage, Vlad captured and impaled the Sultan's two envoys. Attacking Ottoman territory in February 1462, Vlad attacked Ottoman territory and massacred tens of thousands of Turks and Muslim Bulgarians. Using military tactics Vlad's military tactics included ambushing the Sultan's envoy, splitting his army, poisoning wells, and sending infected men into the Ottoman ranks. Displaying impaled bodies Vlad put about 20,000 impaled bodies on display outside the city of Targoviste. The sight was so repulsive that the Sultan retreated to Constantinople. Vlad's victories were celebrated throughout Europe, but he also earned a reputation for sadism. He earned his nickname by impaling his enemies on stakes.”

Personal theory: Vlad probably had been molested as a child in the Ottoman court (wonder why there was so much talk about the princes being treated as guests... probably because they were being used in "intimate" ways?) But rather than subject himself to the humiliation that led to his brother being treated as a possible male concubine of the sultan's own son, he used the disgust and humiliation to fuel his thirst for revenge. There were several opportunities for him to choose a safer route and be the sultan's dog, following the whims of the Ottoman rulers- but he refused and took the harder path. And since he had so much Ottoman education, he probably used that to fuel the "disinformation" campaign that led to his being defined as the personification of "evil," a diabolical menace so to speak. He probably knew back then that everyone feared "demons" and "devils" more than swords and military might. If he could get away with the intimidating tales of horror, the better. That would've made him a legend to be feared. And probably he wouldn't have survived longer if those horrific tales didn't do the job well.

factoid: Vlad’s mustache was so massive, it required the attention of two full time handlers. his father and grandfather both had practiced mustache intimidation, Vlad simply took it to another level, growing it to be the bigger than all of them. historians agree this extreme mustache was at least partly responsible for his unchecked aggression and thirst for blood

True, but still they use stupid English names for some of the historic figures. 11:41 I'm sure Hunyadi's first name was not 'John', and it has been used throughout the story. There was also a certain 'Steven' who he was talking about. I can't imagine a 'Steven' in this brutal environment.
