14th centry count of Valahia named Vald ,later known as Vlad Tepes ( Vlad the Impaler).
He was born in 1431 in the town of Sighisoara. His father, Vald Dracul (onorary title given to him by emperor Sigismund) was the guvernor of Transilvania.
Vlad is the grandson of one of the greatest romanian rulers Mircea cel Batran (Mircea the Old), and he continues his grandfather legacy of defender of the european crestianity.
In the winter of the year 1436 he becomes the prince of Valahia (one of the 3 romanian principates)and lives with his father at the royal court, yet in 1442 he is taken prisoner by sultan Murad.
He ramains in Turky until 1448 and reclames his throne in 1456. During his reighn, Vald fought agains the muslims and won great battles.
He took vengeance on the boiers (lords) who killed his father and handed him over to sultan Murad. As means of frightening his enemys, he uses teh impaling method.
The rumours sourownding Vald Tepes and his barbaric habists such as kiling for plesure ir drinking blod were started by hungarian traders because they were not alowed to sell theyr goods in Valahia (Vald didnt't alow them this in order to boost roamnian trading).
it is from the tradesmen tales that Bram Stoker was inspired to whrite the book.

Vlad Tepes (Dracula) s-a nascut in anul 1431 in fortareata de la Sighisoara. Tatal sau, Vlad Dracul, era in acea vreme guvernatorul Transilvaniei, functie in care fusese numit de catre imparatul Sigismund. Tepes a fost nepotul altui mare voievod roman: Mircea cel Batran (1386-1418).
In iarna lui 1436-1437, Dracul devine print al Valahiei (una dintre cele trei provincii romanesti) si isi stabileste resedinta la palatul din Targoviste, capitala principatului.
Vlad Tepes si-a urmat tatal si a trait la curtea princiara sase ani. In 1442, din motive politice, Dracula si fratele sau mai mic Radu au fost luati ostatici de catre Sultanul Murad al II-lea.
