The true Prince Dracula, known as Vlad Dracula (translated as Son of the Devil), Vlad Tepes and Vlad the Impaler. An important figure in 15th-century Romanian history, Vlad Dracula is known as a patriot, but he was also bloodthirsty, slaughtering between 40,000 and 100,000 of his subjects — usually by impalement — during his reign.
