Dracula is just a book a novel .. like twilight or Harry Poter .. Dracula it was a king very good, he`s name was Vlad Tepes son of Vlad al II-lea Dracul. he was famous beacuse he used to draw hes enemies impaled. And this is it!! I am romanian and i studied about this. It was a king not a bloody vampire!!!!!!
Oh yes, Le Fanu who created Carmilla which was even an influence on Bram Stoker when he created Dracula, I'll be sure to check out 'The Historian', thanks for the recommendation, I guess you've heard that some great grandson of Bram Stoker has actually written a sequel to his grandfather's novel. No idea if it's worth reading or not. One book I'm really into right now is 'Dracula's Heir' by Sam Stall which is something of an interactive mystery novella that's well worth checking out IMHO..
I'm from Romania . :))) How the hell did they find these lunatics . A lot of superstitions are in our folklore but i don't a lot of people believe in them
@vicenzo3000 lasa-i frate sa creada in dracula....sa stie lumea ca suntem o natie data dracu,bine,nu ca nu am fi....dar uite asa vin turisti in romania....e un brand
The book is wonderful but it unfolds slowly until it grips the reader. It is written in the epistolary style (letters) which discourages some people. If you are a fan of Twilight, True Blood or Vampire Diaries you may want to read something else.
@JoachimderZweite :-) If you're a fan of Twilight I doubt you could handle something on the scale of Stoker's Dracula. The top vampire novels IMHO 1. Dracula 2. Carmilla 3. The Horla 4. Salem's Lot 5. The Strain Trilogy 6. Let The Right One In 7. Clarimonde 8. Anno Dracula 9. The Colour Out Of Space 10. Blood Sucking Fiends Not a sparkly vampire in any of those stories
@cha5 One of the best modern vampire books I have read is "The Historian." It is very long and the ending is somewhat disappointing but it is a really good exciting read. It is about a researcher who, after a long investigation, starts to believe that Vlad Dracul is still "alive." Thanks for the list - I copied it and will check it out. If you like Stoker you might also like the author - le Fanu - who lived about the same time.
Vlad Dracula was no more horrendous than the Turks. He used what he had learned as a hostage from them, esp. impaling & used it against them. A lot of what has been said about him were from Saxon merchants, the same he kicked out of Transylvania as they were cheating the people and bought their preferred status. He did restore order but with an iron fist. Don't discount him or say the novel's garbage though. the two are only connected by name. I'm a historian. I've studied him for ages.
Surface Value: We cannot neglect the historical and scientific understanding of Stokers novel, much less the fact that it is, indeed, literature. One cannot also neglect the psychological, mythological, folkloric, and Archetypical aspects of the novel and all the history behind it. There is a deeper relation to the human psyche in the novel, much less most fiction, that speaks to aspects of us that we may pass as pure fiction. Visit Carl Jung's idea of Archetype in literature to understand.
Stupid americans!!!! Vlad was a great lider,and he did a good job with the traitors by impaling them as an example,at that time only by fear you could control the nobel society in romania who was always abitious for power,
He never punished inocent people,just thiefs,criminals and again traitors of the coutry.He managed to protect ROMANIA and rest of europe against the otomans with a litlle number a people and good strategy (you can take the Teropilaes exaple).
I am inspired by the original story of count dracula. This is my most fevorite story. I believe in ghost. I believe stroker written this story from his personal experience. Some day I will go to transilveniya and stay there in a hut for one month alone. I believe I could see something which nobody seen.
@oorvish you're just throwing names in a stupid manner, you can´t compare Vlad, Alexander, Genghis Khan and Nero, are you even aware that they lived in completely different times, cultures and has different achievements?
@heroesytumbas Me asking you How would just end up in a stupid back and forth and I doubt that you would realize or except that you are wrong. So I'am just going to say this and not respond to your meaningless four word replies. Alexander was brutal and enslaved Iran, Pakistan, India, Turkey, Gumela, and Egypt.(To name a few.) Genghis Khan raped and killed millions of women and children and did it with a happy heart and smille. Nero, Tsk,tsk,tsk. Nero was the last ruler of the roman empire and..
@TonyTheStickman Alexander allowed conquered lands to retain their culture and ways,that's why his legacy is one of great cultural enrichment,besides he was a great warrior and general. Genghis forged the greatest continuos empire know to man, and that raped and killed MILLIONS of women and children it's kinda exaggerated, and that was a "normal" behaviour for the time, Bush killed thousands of innocent people too,and you can't really compare both...

He played his fiddle while it fell, he let numerous germanic tribes conquer the outermost empire while he had Christians killed like hijiks, the old itialian game of killing animals for the pleasing of the crowds. Nero would even have cities burned (with people still there) to justify building a more beautiful one which usually would be pathed with statues of him. So you see even though they lived in different times they had very similar agendas and WERE INDEED BRUTAL. So that is all.
@TonyTheStickman Nero, well, Nero was a retarded psycho that achieved nothing, so no, you can´t really compare them, but, yeah, let´s not do this anymore.
:)) story:-j i'm from romania and i think vlad tepes was a good king because the law was not violated by anyone :) just story guys and a lot of fiction :)
@dania0015 If that's true then why would historians still saying it then? Why would they lie? Maybe there was no crime because people were to SCARED to commit crimes. It doesn't matter how good of a king you were. In a normal society there is at least a little crime. No crime is not normal anywhere.
Vlad Dracula was seriously something else, not only he was a genius for the economics but also he knew how to keep his people safe from invasions and maintain peace within his own country. Of course, the ways to do this were pretty bloody, but the only way to force humans to listen to God is by showing them the blazing flames of hell, true or false?
@BADASSGAROUKEN He was pretty cruel and insane too. Most people are good because they fear God but the way Vlad acted wasn't very Christian. There's no way he's going to heaven after the way he acted.
Dracul means Dragon...Devil was a misconception since Dracula was a Christian member of the Order of the Dragon! Seriously do your research before you slander a man's name and memory
@DrArku But the Order of the Dragon was a group of nobles choses to protect Christendom in their lands...Christians protecting the name and religion of Christ
@DrArku This may be true but the Dragon is a holy creature in Asia and if you look up a Seraphim does it not say that they are Heavenly and divine serpents of fire?
It says he killed children but in those days to say 'the child' could also mean the child was in his 30s so it doesn't mean the kid was actually young
I've always being mysteriously drawn to Vlad Tepes, his history, and Romania. I also love the movie; Bram Stoker's Dracula; my favorite vampire movie. I know that the movie has nothing to do with the real story of Vlad Tepes though. Vlad Tepes, the dragon prince
Im sorry to say it but I see an inaccuracy but at 2:30 Dracula is not from Devil. It evolved to mean Devil but in Vlad the impaler's life it was son of Dracul, meaning the dragon. Dracul came directly from the Latin Draco meaning dragon. His father was a member of the order of the dragon. Any real historian would know this. Also Tepes was never called Tepes within his own lifetime. It was name given to him after his death.
They would chop off body parts and bring them into the battle. While the armies would crash. Now, those times the guys in front were fighting while those in the back were pushing and basically waiting their turn. So at this time, the guys in the back used to throw body parts over: Heads, Hands, Genitals, feet, etc. This gave the impression to the guys in the back that something really horrible was going on in front and led them to nervous breakdowns.
They would capture prisoners and on the eve of the battle they would chop their arms and legs from the knees and elbows and then let them crawl back by telling they'll chop their balls if they do not run. This spectacle had 2 effects on the oposing army: It would scare the cowards into fleeing at the first chance and provoke the brave to attack disorderly without waiting for the command, thus throwing strategy down the toilet.
Dracula was ruthles. He did not understand the concept of mercy and did not think that it was an option at those times. The West Europe was either siting on it's ass or fighting one another while the east Europeans were either conquered by the alien Turks or about to be. Dracula was facing an adversary 10 times stronger than him, with no support from outside. He had the option of surrendering or turning to unusual strategies such as making the enemy believe that there was no chance of survival
I am an American and I have studied Islam extensively. It was founded amongst competing raiding, rapacious tribes and is more a political manifesto than a religion. Consider this: To a muslim, Mohommed is the perfect man and a good Muslim should strive in all ways to emulate him.
Accounts as to the nature of Mohammed do not need to be "fabricated" or "distorted" by we evil "infidels", he is damned by his own words in the Koran and those of his own followers within his lifetime in the Hadiths.

Hate to break it to vampire-loving westerners, but Vlad the Impaler was just a man who decided not to take shit from anyone. He was respected and loved by his subjects, and that was hid undoing: trying to provide for his people, he lost the nobles who betrayed him. His cruelty was a necessity. Truth is not as flashy as a lame-ass vampire novel, but than that's why it's called "truth".
Real Vlad Dracula and Stoker's Dracula are two different characters but please don't call Stocker's novel lame. Just because it is not historical book about Vlad Tepes, it has it's own value, just like one of the best horror movies, based on the book. If you want to know what is vampire garbage, look Twilight.
@Temujin4815 RWSB1793. 01/09/25/2011 A.D. HE WAS A STINKING BUTCHER,I DONT CARE HOW GREAT HE WAS OR WHAT HIS REASONS WERE.A MAN SUCH AS HE DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE CALLED A HERO.HE WAS A MASS MURDERER,RUTHLESS AND COLD-BLOODED,A MAN WITHOUT PITY OR MERCY.HE WAS THAT TYPE OF PERSON BECAUSE HE WANTED TO BE.NOT EVERYONE LOVED OR RESPECTED HIM.HE WENT TOO FAR AND THAT IS THE REASON WHY HE HIMSELF HAD TO BE KILLED.HE WAS FINALLY DONE IN BY THOSE WHO WERENT GOING TO TAKE ANY MORE CRAP FROM HIM.
@RWSB1793 shut up, you're just another moron that makes stupid judgements on people that lived in different times and cultures, that´s just idiotic, and keep in mind that at least people like Vlad put their lives in the line, unlike fucking parasite faggots like Bush and the popes who just ordered the killing of really innocent people without even looking. And yes, the man defended his country from invaders, so no matter the methods he used, he's still a hero, like it or not.
@Temujin4815 he was called a vampire because he impaled alot of people, but that wasnt the reason people were so scared of him. They were scared of him after he died :P
@Temujin4815 First of all Vlad was just an inspiration for the novel, they never mention him, second of all, the novel is amazing, Dracula is an amazing novel, you better read it before you make a comment, Now I mostly agree with you, but Bram Stoker never mentioned Vlad in his novel, it was just an inspiration, educated people know the truth, but uneducated people think the Dracula novel was an autobiography or something.
@oreo1cat, that is rude, crude, and unacceptable. You don't even know what islam is about. Keep your uneducated ass mouth shut. Don't you dare talk shut about something you know nothing about.
Vlad im not a brainwashed cockhead who listens to dramatic music on shows trying to get ratings from people. I realise what you did was horrible at times though I as a whole would like to bow my head to you for saving us europeans on the home front from the islamic barbarian armies and sultans who surely would of done 10 fold worse than you did. I LOVE YOU VLAD HEIL DRACULA
the Turks wanted to conquer all europe but they coudant start the campaign anless he defeat the Romanians Ortodox courage brave people who wanted only peace for all mancaind so they started to war with as en wuy defeat them making them awer biches frew all the history in all the war wuy thot with them wat else is here to discuss about?
history repeats itself, some of the muslim hordes should be impailed now as then, (as they do awful things to non muslims), instead of treated with 'sensitivity'...their bloody, hateful, murderous religion is not of a god but the devil....poor ignorant and uneducated superstitious misguided....have nothing else to hope for or believe in....
Western Europe couldn't and still can't cope with it's own atrocities, it's own darkness so they need the Balkans as their boogie-man. Balkan is the unconscienceness of Europe. But all we ever did, was defend their ass from the Ottomans. If it hadn't been for the likes of Tepes, Mihail Viteazul, Nikola Šubić Zrinski etc. Islam would conquer the West long before 21 century and muslim immigrants
@crystalbratcher30 no , he was just a man of his days , who applied the standard punishment for the barbarian hordes who came to romania to pillage , kill children , burn villages , enslave people , he just did it in his own way . WHO SIDES WITH THEM SHOULD GET WHAT THEY DESERVE
@crystalbratcher30ify kid, you should really stick with twilight and stfu about history and other things far beyond the comprehension of your weak, feeble mind.
Vlad Tepes(Dracula)was imprisoned....and he was not receiving food.....he took the rats he found and drank their blood........he was not a vampire........(@TubeJamiz )I live near Romania and I went...I will go in Romania cause their are no blood suckers
@TubeJamiz i say he is.i did some research and he is.i refuse to step in romania cause i know what would happen.they would kidnap me and i would never be seen again.
@TubeJamiz yeah well i still wouldn step foot in romania it is so creepy thanks to vlad dracula.he creeps me out even thinking about him.eew.and you are related to him.god help anyone who comes in contact with you lol.
@crystalbratcher30 ... i dont see reason why im talking to YOU..... your sooo ........ .. .. !!!! ..! .!!! you kno what i mean ??? :O but this conversation <--- ( i dunnot kno was that writed right but what evah xD ) is over ^^ tired getting manys messages from yaa ( not that i have anything against you xD) ^^
1) are you actually comparing today's Romania with the Middle Ages? Romania is modern civilized country, there;'s nothing wrong about visiting it; we have a lot of tourists
2) the relation between Vlad Tepes and Dracula are LUDICROUS and stupid; Bram Stoker did NOT get inspired by Tepes; that's a myth; and OF COURSE Tepes was NOT a vampire
3) he might have been cruel, but it was the Middle Ages and human life was scrap in those days; everyone was
@crystalbratcher30 was cruel; if it wasn't for Western SENSATIONALISM Tepes wouldn't be considered so evil; not much more than any of his contemporaries
4) Vlad Tepes is a hero for Romanians! do some research and stop insulting our historic personalities
what a sick way of thinking, impailing even little children.. what for?? for to bring order?? and they call him the great warrior!! Sultan Mehmet II WAS THE CONQURER OF THE CONSTANTINOPLE BEHAVE YOUR COMMENTS!! He would not retread if draculs pathetic army get help from the rest of europe.... anyway at the end Turks gave him what he deserves....
@mshansk81 And on what business was Sultan Mehmet the Shit in Romania with his army?Was he to plant flowers or was he to pillage ,to rape,to kill,to rob and grab Romanians land?He was in raids to burn Romanian villages,to kill Romanian men and kill and enslave Romanian children and women,He was a 'conqueror' of shit,a stupid woos who invented that Vlad "Impaled babies" He only impaled invaders'fat ugly arses!!
On the contrary, the Ottomans were relatively merciful towards any subjects who had willingly submitted to them and paid tribute. The Sultans were also pretty tolerant towards Christians under their rule, the same can't be said for the way Christians treated Muslims in the west.
@logik316 There is no logic in your comment,dear logiK316.The Ottomans were 'merciful" only after killing in war,enslaving,raping,predating,in order to bring down a country to their will. Their rule meant stealing Romanians money and food for the so-called tribute in gold and products,meant enslaving thousands of children,boys for army and girls for harem prisons.Only by fierce constant wars and wise/painful diplomacy Romanians were able to preserve a certain degree of independence fromOttomans
And exactly how well did the Catholics and Orthodox Christians treat Muslims, or even Christians of different denominations? How well did they treat pagans and atheists? Face it, these wars were merely over religion and territory. One side was probably no better than the other.
@logik316 why do you think I should talk about religion in Ottomans' territorial wars?You don't fool me with your religious pretexts,we're talking here about Turcs invading and pillaging Romania for territory and wealth.Romania was a target for Catholics,protestants,orthodox,muslims,we had to fight them all(habsburgs,magyars,tatars,turcs,tzarists,soviets,nazis etc.etc.)regardless of their religion.This religion talk is good for fools,the real motivation of invadors is ALWAYS territory and power
"the real motivation of invadors is ALWAYS territory and power".
It's also the real motivation of rulers who commit atrocities in the name of their country and their religion. Exactly how would Romania have been worse under the Turks or Magyars, than under their own brutal warlords? Is a tyrant a few miles away any better than a tyrant 1000 miles away?
@logik316 give me a break with your" internationalist' bullshit neocolonialist propaganda!Our warlords were in legitimate defence,that's very different from crime and attack,and the "tyrant"image is a forged child-like fiction,a Dracula stupid monster you created from your sick mind.Your Magyars and Turcs were nothing but barbaric robbers and criminals.We don't like you,invaders,we don't want you,please stay in your countries,that's the message prince Vlad had to transmit,"go home,leaches!"
"Internationalist"? "neocolonialist"? Are those even real words? Too many decades of communism have clearly warped your brain. Remember the Turkish ambassadors whose turbans got nailed to their heads? Vlad was a barbaric sicko who didn't even have any respect for the concept of diplomatic immunity at a time when most other countries *did*, so you can't say that he was merely a product of his time or just being a good patriot.
@logik316 I think you are a teenager in search for thrill fairytales or an old lady liking to gossip and inventing silly stories.Communism was an "internationalist" pretext for occupying foreign countries in purest colonialist style,claiming they bring freedom from capitalism tyrany LOL.So did other stupid empires in Vlad times long time ago.All you know about Vlad is from his ennemies' enormous lies.Romanians" folk ballads and literature recall him as a just and brave prince,loved by his people
@MrCraiessou Is that true? I mean i couldnt believe he said he impaled babies that sounds even more cruel, so he only impaled invaders? I want to know
@Jacky18beauty Romanian folk legends remember him only as a very positive character,a brave and righteous man.His ennemies' stories described him as a cruel warriour and ruler.But what is cruelty in a legitimate defence war?He never invaded any country he just organised and fought back invaders.Medieval times were tough and dangerous,it is difficult to judge now things happened so many centuries ago,in 15 th cent.Furthermore there is a very very weak link between V.Tepes and fictional Dracula
@MrCraiessou to be honest, his intention was not to raid Romania, but to have vassal-soldiers/conscripts to aid him in the battles through Europe. Though after Vlad broke the vassalite alliance, he felt backstabbed and went mad AFAIK...
@lordhellfjord Sultans always had intention to raid and steal food,money, children from Romanian country.as they did in all Balkans and Hungary ,all transformed in" pashaliks"-.turkish provinces. Through fierce wars Romanians succeeded to preserve their territory free from Turkish presence.First by wars then by paying a huge money tax and political dependence. There is NO excuse for invading a foreign country to steal,kill and dominate.Ottomans and other invaders received what they deserved
@MrCraiessou In a historical perspective, Mehmet II, was not in an intention to RAID Romania(notice the word) I dont really care who killed whom, who has the excuse etc. in short I dont really give a heck about these nationalistic bullcraps. :D the thing which I know is that his first intentions was to collect taxes, have a protectorate-vassal state, and collect conscripts and janissaries and have a standing Wallachian army under his hands. but if you add "to raid", it is inaccurate. sorry.
@lordhellfjord "standing Wallachian army under his hands"??? wtf? you really think the Wallachian rulers would have sent their Wallachian armies to fight Ottoman sultans' wars? is that why Wallachians, Moldavians & Transylvanians were paying huge amounts of money to the Ottomans - so that the sultans could command 'Romanians' in which wars to fight??? your knowledge of history in this part of the world is really, really, really poor...
@lordhellfjord Of course you don't give a heck about other people' efforts to build a secure home for a nation.You feel safe in your nation built by war and "nationalistic bs" and nowadays is easy to play the pacifist and the goodhearted person.'To raid' is accurate,the so-called "taxes" that Romanians never owed to greedy invadors were taken by savage raids,by torturing peasants,by kidnapping children/ women,burning villages etc.Vlad just wanted to scare the hell out of you and prevent raids
Your information is completely wrong.Vlad Tepes was a Romanian prince belonging to a local dynasty.He allegedely impaled invading Turcs to scare turkish troops in further invasion of South Romania.He also was harsh with nobles considered traitors(One party of Romanian nobles wanted to accept Turkish rule)He had very difficult relations with "teutons'basically the german saxons of Transylvania portrayed him as a villain because he cut their economical privileges.The rest is your imagination.
@MrCraiessou Its even in the video, his connection to the Holy Roman Empire, his slaughtering of his OWN people, his induction into the Dragon Court by way of his father, etc. Did you even watch the video, much less do some lengthy research on this man? Him being harsh on Nobles? Wow isn't that because they were a threat to his power, didn't Hitler remove all opposition to his rule too? So they were both dictators, both supported by the Holy Roman Empire, and both tortured their own people.
@ATENakaATON This video has nothing to do with history.Vlad was not a despot from Trans.,a Dracula "vampire", his memory is positive in Romanian collective memory(ballads,chronicles)as a brave fighter against Turcs and as a very just and harsh man against thiefs and traitors.that's all.I read real historical books and documents about Vlad,not "Hollywood"cinema and TV.Turcs,Germans and Magyars tried to ensure their rule over his country,he fought them,he won and lost,To whom was he a" Hitler"?
@MrCraiessou to all of us who aren't brainwashed. Go on and worship you despot ruler, your king and dictator. What Vlad was to Hitler you are in the same vein to a Nazi. It's amazing how people will worship malice if they are told its patriotic. I don't care if the whole world worships him, he was devil in spirit. He murdered those who did not agree with him, he tried to control the sex life of others, hell he murdered babies, enough said. Go troll to someone else.
@ATENakaATON It's not worship,is realism.You are out of historical context.All medieval monarchs had wars,were cruel to ennemis,had to defend their country by sword.Romania was between expansionist Ottoman Empire and West crusaders,he had to fight them both.He was a defensive fighter,and justice was made by sword everywhere in 1450..Actually I think you are a Nazi,a "superior" American who thinks he can say anything about EastEurope,all kind of shit stories,to villify us and show off.
@MrCraiessou as an American i hate all monarchies, long live the Republic. There are no medieval monarchs to be proud of, hate them all. So it's understood I'm not proud of my country, It's done horrible things and the people are disgusting. I just hope one day the ideas it says it promotes it actually will, freedom to be and liberty to act to the extent one does not impede on the freedoms of others.
My felling are just fine ignorant .USA population =immigrants from all around the world who could not stand up for they religious or political believes , people who sold they soul for a easy life , pretending to love USA like they own mom .
@BellaGiullia08 America is not the same as the colonists you moron. America is a nation established later for a Republic. America was fought for against the British by roughly 3 percent perhaps 7 percent at the most of the population which made up the whole body of the 13 colonies. Most people of the colonies were not American in spirit, as most people of the USA today have no American spirit. America has failed because the people are no longer American. America=Freedom Romania=Slaves
@BellaGiullia08 anyone who would not support freedom is a slave. There's no need for chains when the mind is in bondage. You would dare to support Vladimir, first that's monarchy, second he was a brutal fascist who forced his own beliefs on others. To support that would be to support your own slavery. Enjoy your Hitler, retard.
@ATENakaATON Hitler???you must be out of your mind! Hitler invaded dozens of independent countries,dragged them into his imperialistic fight for new territories.He split human folk in categories of 'inferior' and 'superior" trying to enslave or exterminate the second category.What on earth could be the link between Hitler and Vlad who fought onl;y to defend his small country,he mistreated(well,at least so say the ennemies) only invaders trying to kill,rape,loot Romanians in their own country?
@MrCraiessou as Hitler pushed his own personal belief on others as did Vladimir. Vladimir did kill others based on race, creed, religion etc. as Hitler. If you know anything about the Council of Princes aka the Dragon Court you would know about the dynasty Vladimir was trying to establish and both Hitler and Vladimir had the backing of the Holy Roman Empire. In fact both are connected to the Teutonic Knights if you research it, and both were fascists trying to do what they thought was right.
No wonder your people are a country full with criminals and corrupted governments.You Americans are so smart , but so smart that elected a black President with a Muslim name : Hussein Barack Obama ? Ops ! And Romania is far , but far away to be a third world country . But I am assuming you will never afford to travel somewhere like Romania with your miserable income , after tax deductions witch are almost half of your check .Or maybe you are one who live on Link card , lazy ass.
@BellaGiullia08 lol I'm guessing you don't know the difference between a Republic and a Democracy. America as a country died a long time ago, because the people wanted the government to take responsibility for them. Like you cowardly Romains, the people became afraid of the government instead of the other way around. The Republic is great, Democracy is a sham. The NWO will not be long off when the USA completely falls, and your small country will go without a bat of the eye.
Dude ! Stop fucking dreaming . Right now your ''greatest country in the world ''' had to figure out how to feed the people and where they are going to sleep .You are talking bullshit .Romania , like the third world country how you see it have :FREE HEALTH CARE . America have: I DO NOT CARE .
@BellaGiullia08 Everything I typed has obviously gone right over your head. When the NWO gets here you will get yours. With that said, what should I have expected from a person who would love a man akin to Hitler.

why do all dracula documentaries have to have a german/american "historian" the sprouts bullshit continously.
there was no drinking of blood, no forest of the impaled, no 20.000 dead (though he'd wish he captured so many people). those are saxon propaganda.

@cha5 One of the best modern vampire books I have read is "The Historian." It is very long and the ending is somewhat disappointing but it is a really good exciting read. It is about a researcher who, after a long investigation, starts to believe that Vlad Dracul is still "alive." Thanks for the list - I copied it and will check it out. If you like Stoker you might also like the author - le Fanu - who lived about the same time.

Vlad was a master of politics and psychological warfare. He was able to hold off the Turks from Europe for a long while.

Vlad Dracula was no more horrendous than the Turks. He used what he had learned as a hostage from them, esp. impaling & used it against them. A lot of what has been said about him were from Saxon merchants, the same he kicked out of Transylvania as they were cheating the people and bought their preferred status. He did restore order but with an iron fist. Don't discount him or say the novel's garbage though. the two are only connected by name. I'm a historian. I've studied him for ages.

Surface Value: We cannot neglect the historical and scientific understanding of Stokers novel, much less the fact that it is, indeed, literature. One cannot also neglect the psychological, mythological, folkloric, and Archetypical aspects of the novel and all the history behind it. There is a deeper relation to the human psyche in the novel, much less most fiction, that speaks to aspects of us that we may pass as pure fiction. Visit Carl Jung's idea of Archetype in literature to understand.

Stupid americans!!!! Vlad was a great lider,and he did a good job with the traitors by impaling them as an example,at that time only by fear you could control the nobel society in romania who was always abitious for power,
He never punished inocent people,just thiefs,criminals and again traitors of the coutry.He managed to protect ROMANIA and rest of europe against the otomans with a litlle number a people and good strategy (you can take the Teropilaes exaple).

He played his fiddle while it fell, he let numerous germanic tribes conquer the outermost empire while he had Christians killed like hijiks, the old itialian game of killing animals for the pleasing of the crowds. Nero would even have cities burned (with people still there) to justify building a more beautiful one which usually would be pathed with statues of him. So you see even though they lived in different times they had very similar agendas and WERE INDEED BRUTAL. So that is all.

Vlad Dracula was seriously something else, not only he was a genius for the economics but also he knew how to keep his people safe from invasions and maintain peace within his own country. Of course, the ways to do this were pretty bloody, but the only way to force humans to listen to God is by showing them the blazing flames of hell, true or false?

Scorpiusgrl 6 months ago
Im sorry to say it but I see an inaccuracy but at 2:30 Dracula is not from Devil. It evolved to mean Devil but in Vlad the impaler's life it was son of Dracul, meaning the dragon. Dracul came directly from the Latin Draco meaning dragon. His father was a member of the order of the dragon. Any real historian would know this. Also Tepes was never called Tepes within his own lifetime. It was name given to him after his death.

They would chop off body parts and bring them into the battle. While the armies would crash. Now, those times the guys in front were fighting while those in the back were pushing and basically waiting their turn. So at this time, the guys in the back used to throw body parts over: Heads, Hands, Genitals, feet, etc. This gave the impression to the guys in the back that something really horrible was going on in front and led them to nervous breakdowns.

They would capture prisoners and on the eve of the battle they would chop their arms and legs from the knees and elbows and then let them crawl back by telling they'll chop their balls if they do not run. This spectacle had 2 effects on the oposing army: It would scare the cowards into fleeing at the first chance and provoke the brave to attack disorderly without waiting for the command, thus throwing strategy down the toilet.

Dracula was ruthles. He did not understand the concept of mercy and did not think that it was an option at those times. The West Europe was either siting on it's ass or fighting one another while the east Europeans were either conquered by the alien Turks or about to be. Dracula was facing an adversary 10 times stronger than him, with no support from outside. He had the option of surrendering or turning to unusual strategies such as making the enemy believe that there was no chance of survival

Hate to break it to vampire-loving westerners, but Vlad the Impaler was just a man who decided not to take shit from anyone. He was respected and loved by his subjects, and that was hid undoing: trying to provide for his people, he lost the nobles who betrayed him. His cruelty was a necessity. Truth is not as flashy as a lame-ass vampire novel, but than that's why it's called "truth".

On the contrary, the Ottomans were relatively merciful towards any subjects who had willingly submitted to them and paid tribute. The Sultans were also pretty tolerant towards Christians under their rule, the same can't be said for the way Christians treated Muslims in the west.

@logik316 There is no logic in your comment,dear logiK316.The Ottomans were 'merciful" only after killing in war,enslaving,raping,predating,in order to bring down a country to their will. Their rule meant stealing Romanians money and food for the so-called tribute in gold and products,meant enslaving thousands of children,boys for army and girls for harem prisons.Only by fierce constant wars and wise/painful diplomacy Romanians were able to preserve a certain degree of independence fromOttomans

@lordhellfjord Of course you don't give a heck about other people' efforts to build a secure home for a nation.You feel safe in your nation built by war and "nationalistic bs" and nowadays is easy to play the pacifist and the goodhearted person.'To raid' is accurate,the so-called "taxes" that Romanians never owed to greedy invadors were taken by savage raids,by torturing peasants,by kidnapping children/ women,burning villages etc.Vlad just wanted to scare the hell out of you and prevent raids

Your information is completely wrong.Vlad Tepes was a Romanian prince belonging to a local dynasty.He allegedely impaled invading Turcs to scare turkish troops in further invasion of South Romania.He also was harsh with nobles considered traitors(One party of Romanian nobles wanted to accept Turkish rule)He had very difficult relations with "teutons'basically the german saxons of Transylvania portrayed him as a villain because he cut their economical privileges.The rest is your imagination.

@MrCraiessou Its even in the video, his connection to the Holy Roman Empire, his slaughtering of his OWN people, his induction into the Dragon Court by way of his father, etc. Did you even watch the video, much less do some lengthy research on this man? Him being harsh on Nobles? Wow isn't that because they were a threat to his power, didn't Hitler remove all opposition to his rule too? So they were both dictators, both supported by the Holy Roman Empire, and both tortured their own people.

@ATENakaATON This video has nothing to do with history.Vlad was not a despot from Trans.,a Dracula "vampire", his memory is positive in Romanian collective memory(ballads,chronicles)as a brave fighter against Turcs and as a very just and harsh man against thiefs and traitors.that's all.I read real historical books and documents about Vlad,not "Hollywood"cinema and TV.Turcs,Germans and Magyars tried to ensure their rule over his country,he fought them,he won and lost,To whom was he a" Hitler"?

@MrCraiessou to all of us who aren't brainwashed. Go on and worship you despot ruler, your king and dictator. What Vlad was to Hitler you are in the same vein to a Nazi. It's amazing how people will worship malice if they are told its patriotic. I don't care if the whole world worships him, he was devil in spirit. He murdered those who did not agree with him, he tried to control the sex life of others, hell he murdered babies, enough said. Go troll to someone else.

@ATENakaATON It's not worship,is realism.You are out of historical context.All medieval monarchs had wars,were cruel to ennemis,had to defend their country by sword.Romania was between expansionist Ottoman Empire and West crusaders,he had to fight them both.He was a defensive fighter,and justice was made by sword everywhere in 1450..Actually I think you are a Nazi,a "superior" American who thinks he can say anything about EastEurope,all kind of shit stories,to villify us and show off.

@MrCraiessou as an American i hate all monarchies, long live the Republic. There are no medieval monarchs to be proud of, hate them all. So it's understood I'm not proud of my country, It's done horrible things and the people are disgusting. I just hope one day the ideas it says it promotes it actually will, freedom to be and liberty to act to the extent one does not impede on the freedoms of others.

@BellaGiullia08 America is not the same as the colonists you moron. America is a nation established later for a Republic. America was fought for against the British by roughly 3 percent perhaps 7 percent at the most of the population which made up the whole body of the 13 colonies. Most people of the colonies were not American in spirit, as most people of the USA today have no American spirit. America has failed because the people are no longer American. America=Freedom Romania=Slaves

@BellaGiullia08 anyone who would not support freedom is a slave. There's no need for chains when the mind is in bondage. You would dare to support Vladimir, first that's monarchy, second he was a brutal fascist who forced his own beliefs on others. To support that would be to support your own slavery. Enjoy your Hitler, retard.

@ATENakaATON Hitler???you must be out of your mind! Hitler invaded dozens of independent countries,dragged them into his imperialistic fight for new territories.He split human folk in categories of 'inferior' and 'superior" trying to enslave or exterminate the second category.What on earth could be the link between Hitler and Vlad who fought onl;y to defend his small country,he mistreated(well,at least so say the ennemies) only invaders trying to kill,rape,loot Romanians in their own country?
MrCraiessou 1 year ago
@MrCraiessou as Hitler pushed his own personal belief on others as did Vladimir. Vladimir did kill others based on race, creed, religion etc. as Hitler. If you know anything about the Council of Princes aka the Dragon Court you would know about the dynasty Vladimir was trying to establish and both Hitler and Vladimir had the backing of the Holy Roman Empire. In fact both are connected to the Teutonic Knights if you research it, and both were fascists trying to do what they thought was right.

No wonder your people are a country full with criminals and corrupted governments.You Americans are so smart , but so smart that elected a black President with a Muslim name : Hussein Barack Obama ? Ops ! And Romania is far , but far away to be a third world country . But I am assuming you will never afford to travel somewhere like Romania with your miserable income , after tax deductions witch are almost half of your check .Or maybe you are one who live on Link card , lazy ass.

@BellaGiullia08 lol I'm guessing you don't know the difference between a Republic and a Democracy. America as a country died a long time ago, because the people wanted the government to take responsibility for them. Like you cowardly Romains, the people became afraid of the government instead of the other way around. The Republic is great, Democracy is a sham. The NWO will not be long off when the USA completely falls, and your small country will go without a bat of the eye.
