Bran Castle³"Dracula's Castle³is spectacularly situated in the Transylvanian

Alps. Bram Stoker's Dracula. When one hears the name Dracula, most are inclined to

think of a Hollywood fairytale with blood sucking vampires and a fictitious Count Dracula.

This is true in one sense and completely false in another.

The figure most people associate to Dracula is a fairytale, written from the pen of IrishNovelist Bram Stoker. Many believe Stoker based his novel on the real life figure, Vlad

Tepes III. Vlad was a prince of Walachia, located in central Romania. This is where the

similarities end, as Stoker never actually visited Transylvania, or Walachia, and merely

drew images from the stories written in European papers at the time.



Vlad Tepes was born in or around 1431, in the

Transylvanian town of Sighisoara. Today you can visit the house

in which Vlad was born, which has been restored to its original

condition, and enjoy one of the best preserved medieval

citadels in Europe. At the time Vlad was in power, Walachia

was a main trading route, and a strategic point in the battle

between the Turkish Invaders from the East and the Hungarian

throne situated in Budapest. This caused a very turbulent

situation, as the battle of religions with these powerful

neighbours was often fought on these lands. Vlad was known for

many things, most of which being his cruel and ruthless torture

methods. Impalement was Vlad's favourite form of punishment,and he held no favourites, whether it be local thieves, foreign

nobleman, or the sick and poor.

As stories vary from one person to the next, the true

life of Vlad Tepes will never be known.
