His Story, Her Story
Vlad III, Tepes, the Prince of Wallachia (1431–1476/77) who is more famous as
Dracul (or Dracul, because of the coins with the dragon on it), is a former
civilian authority who served his country of Wallachia. The vast majority of his
live he spent at was against the enslavement of his Fatherland.
Whereas Turks have a lot influence on the lands that encompassed
former Wallachia, only a hope for peace left to his father, so he was willing
to compromise and send his son to the Turkish captivity by force. At the 1447
Vlad found out that his brother and father went badly wrong and soon was
killed. In 1456 he becomes the master of Wallachia, tough he caused a lot of
damage for strangers and to his own people too.
Turks had a huge effect on Hungary, so the war broke
out between Hungary and Wallachia. Dracul joined the army and won the battle. In
1462 he was forced to runaway to Hungary, and after 12 years of imprisonment he
failed miserably in his desire to return home. However he fought for his life
till the death.
I decided to distinguish Vlad III among the others thanks to the spark of rumors around his
personality. He still attracts the
interest of a vast numbers of people, and is considered to be the oldest
vampire according to the novel of Mary Shelley. For us to decide, whether to
take it seriously or not.
