Detailed explanation-1: -Vlad the Impaler’s thirst for blood was an inspiration for Count Dracula. The ruthless brutality of Vlad III of Walachia, forged by the 15th-century clash between the Kingdom of Hungary and the Ottoman Empire, would partly inspire Bram Stoker’s classic vampire novel centuries later.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dracula in Real Life Dracula was a real person, more commonly known in medieval Romania as Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia or Vlad the Impaler. I know, the “impaler” is not a nice nickname, and unfortunately Vlad III did like to impale people and was famous for it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Though Dracula may seem like a singular creation, Stoker in fact drew inspiration from a real-life man with an even more grotesque taste for blood: Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia or-as he is better known-Vlad the Impaler (Vlad Tepes), a name he earned for his favorite way of dispensing with his enemies.

Detailed explanation-4: -Count Dracula is an undead, centuries-old vampire, and a Transylvanian nobleman who claims to be a Székely descended from Attila the Hun. He inhabits a decaying castle in the Carpathian Mountains near the Borgo Pass.

Detailed explanation-5: -Like most Transylvanians, Lianda despised the Turkish occupation of Transylvania and had no desire to have the Prince become Turac’s political puppet. Acting on Varnae’s orders, Lianda bit Dracula, turning him into a vampire. Within minutes, the impatient Turac barged in again, demanding to know how Dracula was doing.
