More on Vlad III the Impaler
Description from Wikipedia:
Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia called "Vlad the Impaler" (that is, Vlad Ţepeş, also known as Vlad Dracula or simply Dracula, in Romanian Drăculea; 1431 – December 1476), was a Wallachian (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. In the English-speaking world, Vlad III is best known for inspiring the name of the eponymous vampire in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula.
As prince, Vlad maintained an independent policy in relation to the Ottoman Empire and a defender of Wallachia against Ottoman expansionism.
