Vlad Tepes Dracula was killed near Bucuresti, his head was cut off, preserved in honey, put on a stake and sent to the Sultan in what is now called Istanbul. The rumour was that his body was buried at Snagov Monastery which is on an island outside Bucuresti. That apparently was untrue. Comana is a commune in Giurgiu County, Romania, founded by Vlad III "Ţepeş" in 1461. It is composed of five villages: Comana, Vlad Ţepeş, Budeni, Falaştoaca and Grădiştea and is possibly the site of his tomb
who the hell would climb that hill to see if he impaled any one or not..the towns like 25miles down the hill ..i'd a been to busy tending to my sheep back than if you know what i mean baaaaaaaaaa
@Teresathetraveler just so you know, men shouldn't have to have wealth, fame, or prestige just for women to sexually want them. according to the history of dracula there, he was a horrible and idiotic and women should be appauled by who he was. also, not only are women supposed to sexually prefer men over women, but women are supposed to sexually need men just as frequently and casually as vice versa. foreplay and sex with members of the opposite sex IS a need, in case you didn't know.
It is great people travel, but what is of concern, is that when you visit another country YOU are the visitor & should respect the country you visit:this is proper manners. To come to Romania & say Vladislaus was a vampire, is an insult to his name & the country's hero's (Vladislaus is what he signed on Sibiu and Brasvo archives). Stoker stole his name for a fictional book! Dracula was honored by Pius II & Medici family of Florence(see his portrait in Procession of the Magi) in Chapel Palazzo

@Teresathetraveler Don't listen to that idiot, my wife's family is from Făgăraş, & you didn't say anything wrong according to her. Bran isn't where he lived anyway! I just wish you could've caught on film what your guide was saying was "Black & moving fast".
Glad you had a great time, but it would have been nice if there was more filming of the actual castle and less of the goofing around. Anyway thanks for sharing it with us.
you are so right dear, Poienari is the real castle of Vlad Tepes aka Dracula, son of Vlad Dracul. Bran Castle has nothing to do with Dracula`s legend but somehow it attracts more people. In Sighisoara you can find his father`s house, which is a common one, not a castle. Anyway there are hundreds of magic places to visit in Romania, specially Maramures region , a `land forgotten by time`. Thanks for visiting my country :) .Happy B-day Romania and romanians for the 1st of December .
Also the word Drag, Drage, Dragoste all mean Love, Dear, Beloved etc. Westerners always overlook this, even Romanians. Maybe that's why ppl Love Dracula, The Devil, The Great Dragon & Satan.
I'm Romanian from neighboring Voivodina, I've researched into the stories for a long time, I've come to the conclusion the whole "Son of the Dragon" or "Son of the Devil" thing is a figure of speech, ppl describing him in a negative way. Romanians use Dracul all the time in common talk, especially village folk, they say "Duche Dracului" (Go with the Devil) as an insult or "La Dracu" (for No it's not or It's not so). If you ask "who did it" when something happens they respond "Dracu".
Well, as a romanian I prefer to ask me about Dracula instead of our fucking gypsies who made a bad name for Romania , in all Europe.So, enjoy Dracula and forget the gypsies.
Dracule means the dragon, that was his father name and it was an honor given to him by the order he was a member and a leader of; ''Order of the Dragon'', which was a Christian order dedicated to crusade against Muslims turks and other none Christians, Vlad was so proud of his father he decided to call himself Dracula which means ''Son of him who had the order of the Dragon.''.
Hi! I am from Romania,and I just want to thank you for the video and congratulate you for showing other people the Real castle of Vlad.Hope you enjoyed that trip.All the best from Transilvania!!!!
wow dracula castle ... maybe i should go there , know the truth history about dracula, i love to read history and travel around world after i become millionair.. Scary castle .... huhuhuhuhuhu ... my home town malaysia , very far far away and weather to hot ( 31Celcius) ... huhuhuhuhu hate when weather to hot make me dizzy..i hope someone at youtube (romania) can be my friend...my english so poor , sorry guy...
For Teresa, Poenari was an ancient fortress even before the roman conquest in 105-106 AD Vlad only expanded the existent facilities especially because he liked what you hated the most:the steep climing lol
@DoubleDizzle1 Actually it was Sigismund of Luxembourg who entered Vlads dad into the Order of the Dragon and gave him a medalion featuring a dragon;since romanians didnt knew what a dragon was they nicknamed him Dracul.Vlad was call Draculea in old Romanian meaning son of Dracul(lea is a diminutive like jr).Dracula was adored by the large masses particulary for bringing stability to the country and refusing to give children for the turkish army.
it was a sign that had to do with the time that Vlad Dracula's father was born and Dracula means the son of something i can't really put my finger on right now
@DAvidgzzgggg Actually according to my wife who is from Transylvania, balaur means dragon. Diavol means Devil, or you can use the Dracul family name to substitute Devil according to her. She also said that Vlad's father was known as "Vlad the Dragon". That's where alot of confusion comes in to people trying to understand not from the region. Every area has it's idioms.
You are so lucky, I've always wanted to go see Poenari Castle/Castle Dracula, that and London and Germany's famous sights, so what was it like there? Is Romania newer or is it more old fashioned?
Whats good to eat there? Were you all the way inside or just outside perimeter of the castle? It looks like the roof is intact from the outside is why im asking
Nice video and u guys are funny...i like all that jokes u make!By the way Vlad was killed by his brother Radu because he wanted to take his throne...Vlad had many enemies back then!
You are really mixing up facts... His father's name was Dracul because he was in the Order of the Dragon. Vlad is just called Vlad and not Vladimir. Ottomans took his head of so that they show it to the Sultan, Vlad's greatest enemy. Therefore the head was brought to modern day Istanbul. Vlad's body was not in the tomb you are talking about because the real tomb wasnt really found. It is not in Snagov as most people believe, but probably in the Comana monastery. Good job getting up the steps!
A little bitter are we? Seeing a few dickhead tourists here and there doesn't give you the authority to say that Americans think they're better than anyone. Teresathetraveler gives no indication that she thinks she's better than you, and no American I know thinks themselves better than any European, myself included. I have the utmost respect for Romania, and if I had the money, I would visit too.
I personally know the last son of (or great, great great grandson) or how many generations now I can't be sure. His name is Andrew his is extremely spooky! I cannot go into detail but I met him shortly after a near death experience and my life had completely changed. When I told him I had been to transylvania and visited the house he smiled and said0I know DARLING! crazy , crazy! This is absolutely real! His mother and grandmother are the most scary people I've met! What's with this family??
