cuvantul "drac" provine de la "draconem" (stindardul dacic) , sau "dragon" ... si a fost folosit gresit pentru a definii "demon'' .....probabil a fost facuta o paralela intre balaur si demon si de aici noul inteles al cuvantului
i think dracula mean the son of the dragon. not the devil, many people are saying that but in the ecyclopedia they are writing him the son of the dragon and he ismore like a hero than a an evil guy
In a time when the West was building cathedrals and durable constructions in the safety of the Eastern nations who formed a shield against the Ottoman Empire[eg:Wallachia,Moldova,Hu ngary(even if the last country was defeated in the 16th century),etc.], Vlad Tepes had struggled to bring justice, peace and above all, freedom to his beloved country.
bad ass ruler, we wish we would have such a reincarnation leader for modern Romania, and put down the corrupt politicians pigs and make justice and florish to our Vlach/Romanian nation
Vlad of Wallachia and Stephen of Moldova came from the same Romanian Royal blood family, The Basarabs. It is this family that gave kings for centuries to Dacia, the Romanian Lands (Wallachia, Moldova and Transilvania), Hungary, England and even the US Presidents (The Bushes). Vlad was a great king and patriot. His enemies and Romanians' enemies, from Turks to Hungarians and to the Germans, called him bad name because he stopped foreign and domestic corruption. The only 'vampire' is Bram Stoker.
From the beginning they are furious against the main character, Vlad.Historians should tell the facts, not takes sides.They asked persons who know history but they used the information and manipulate.Just like the first badmouthing press campaign in the history 550 years ago.
They should not judge the Voivode at least not after our laws from these days.
he was one of our greatest rulers, did u know that during his reign a golden cup was right next to a fountain in a very important city? every person could drink with it, and it never disappeared till the day he was murdered? how many countries could do that nowadays? not to mention in the middle ages
he didn't kill just 4 fun, he impaled those who broke the law and beggars.
and here a new info,he had 3 reigns.and he was betrayed by his own ally, the hugarian king
all you people who think''dracul'' means''devil''are idiots!as it is explained clearly in this and many other documentaries,''dracul''means dragon in romanian-that was a title given to Vlad's father because he was a knight who belonged to''the Order of the Dragon''.so Vlad,being proud of his father's title,inherited/adopted the same nickname,calling himself''dracula''=son of the dragon,in romanian.that's all!there are no demons/devils/vampires/witches etc involved in this...grow up!
This guys murdered children, women, the sick, the old, and mostly were his people. his bedroom was above his torture chamber, he used to stick people on sticks. Seriously if this guys is your hero, you are sick and have serious problems.
He wasn't at all evil...He had cruel methods, but they only helped our country...
No one dared to steal, cheat or murdere while he reigned, for fear of being impaled. You could say the criminal rate dropped dramatically. If you were a good, honest person, you had nothing to fear from him. I wish he was still alive today...
Are you nuts? How about giving and sharing to all people so they don't have to steal and commit crimes to live. The greed is whats wrong with the world. Do you know that Vlad use to feast right next to his impaled victims? Thats evil, very evil. He was a sick bastard and he would have been impaled by me if I had the chance to do it. He was a bigger sinner than anyone he killed. I just can't believe some of the things I hear on here. Geesh....
