Question

ok, so vampires drink human blood, dont they?


Answer


Yes, there was a real Dracula, and he was a true prince of darkness. He was Prince Vlad III Dracula, also known as Vlad Tepes, meaning quotVlad the Impaler.quot The Turks called him Kaziglu Bey, or quotthe Impaler Prince.quot He was the prince of Walachia, but, as legend suggests, he was born in Transylvania, which at that time was ruled by Hungary.brbrVlad became quite known for his brutal punishment techniques he often ordered people to be skinned, boiled, decapitated, blinded, strangled, hanged, burned, roasted, hacked, nailed, buried alive, stabbed, etc. He also liked to cut off noses, ears, sexual organs and limbs.

The cup could be used by thirsty travelers, but had to remain on the square. According to the available historic sources, it was never stolen and remained entirely unmolested throughout Vlads reign. Dracula was also very concerned that all his subjects work and be productive to the community. He looked upon the poor, vagrants and beggars as thieves. Consequently, he invited all the poor and sick of Wallachia to his princely court in Tirgoviste for a great feast. After the guests ate and drank, Dracula ordered the hall boarded up and set on fire. No one survived.brbrVlad Draculas political detractors mainly German Saxons made use of the other meaning of the Romanian word quotDraculquot quotDevilquot in order to blacken the princes reputation.
