Do you think that what we see in movies always describes the reality? Well, absolutely not. Dracula true story is different than the one presented in movies during the decades.

The true Transilvania vampire legend is about a ruler named Vlad Tepes. As you probably heard before, he was famous because he used brutal methods to punish the criminals in the controlled regions: Walachia and Transylvania.

Vlad Tepes is his name in Romanian, Vlad the Impaler is translated in English. He impaled people and then he let the bodies hanged there for several days in a row. The smell was insupportable after two or more days. His cruelty is mainly the reason why Bram Stoker created the story about Dracula referring to Vlad the Impaler.

Dracula legend became a successful story also because people are easily frightened by brutality and terror. After Dracula vampire story many other stories were created with vampires and werewolves but Dracula remains the original.

Dracula true legend is a good story, a story that sells well even today. What you can do is to make an appointment and visit with your friends or family the unique places where Vlad lived centuries ago.

Here are some tales about how Tepes reacted to real or imagined invectives. Vlad insisted and declared that any thief caught red handed would be instantly staked. Confident that no one would challenge him, he placed a golden cup in Tirgoviste square. During Tepes entire period of influence the cup was never touched. Also, when two Turkish emissaries refused to remove their caps in Tepes presence, he immediately ordered that their hats to be spiked to their heads and then he sent them back to their sultan. No one could disrespect him. Even if he ruled over two small regions, this was the whole country, he was a respected leader and important European forces feared him because of his technique in battle which was total war. He did not spare lives. He fought with all the resources. Vatican congratulated him many times because of his battles against the muslims.

This is actually the true story behind the famous leader Vlad Tepes. Of course, the legend sells well, but also the true story. The Saint Cyr Military Academy in France founded by Napoleon Bonaparte keeps a wall full with photos of important military leaders worldwide. Vlad Tepes is one of them and his photo is placed on a row of photos on the top of the wall.
