      Happy All Hallow's Eve friend! A very nice breakdown as always. There was only 1 thing you missed, but you kinda got half of it. The reference to neck washes is pointing towards the practice of washing a person's neck before a beheading. Vlad never did this practice when executing people via beheading, and they didnt wash his before his own execution.
      Also, fun fact: the reason vampires couldnt be seen in mirrors back in the olden days was because mirrors were backed with silver, which is a holy metal.

    Dracula was actually because his father was a part of the Order of the Dragon. It meant son of the Dragon, but it was changed to devil because history is written by the victorious.

      Also, they were part of House Draculesti which broke off from House Basarab,the founding royal family of Wallachia, which they felt had grown too corrupted by Austro-Hungarian,Prussian,Boyar and Ottoman influence,causing them to lose touch with the Wallachian people`s interests!

    Vlad would not only be pissed at his vampire counterpart for "leeching his name" but also the Austro-Hungarian Empire betrayed him on multiple occasions and Bela Lugosi who most famously portrayed The Count in the Universal Classic Films was born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire towards the end of World War I.

      @1993MovieMan 3 года назад +2

      Yep, the Turks,Germans,Austrians and Boyars changed the meaning when they took over Wallachia after Vlad`s death, they also constructed statues of Vlad with vampire fangs and made propaganda pamphlets of him dipping bread in the blood of his victims!(He was certainly a bloodthirsty dude in life, however whether it was to the extremes his enemies depicted will probably never be reliably known especially considering the political tensions,nationalistic pride in their ruling class and narratives in Turkey and Romania run hot to this day!)

    PS. He did not 'butcher' people, he only had very extreme rules for theft. If, as an adult, you would've stolen something during the Impaler's leading, they usually would've cut off your arm, from the elbow. Children would also get punished, they would get their hands cut off, from their wrist. Like I previously said, most of the gruesome stories about him, are non factual.

    The proper pronunciation is actually Valachia. ( The stereotypical vampire trait is actually a reference to Old Russian and Turkish stereotypes of Romanians and Hungarians pronouncing w`s as v`s which obviously isn`t as common these days but in the Medieval and Soviet eras it was very much a thing amongst poor Romanians and Hungarians).

      He than proceeded to act out normal Dining routine while Using Blood as sauce,dipping bread while feasting. Noone dared to point out the irregularities.

    Some Corrections are in order As a History enthusiast to another Skyler.
    And I'm a neighbour of Romania which is also the current owner of the Vlad's territory.
    Also Vampir(Vampeer) comes from My country(Serbia) originally So it would make sense A neighbouring country was quick to adopt the myth.
    First Dracul(Dracool) doesn't mean Devil it means Dragon. Nickname is Tepesh(impaler). T in Romanian is read as ц in Slavic or Ts.
    The dynasty was Draculesti-Kind of Descendant's of the Dragons.
    Hes forefather's and he were Knight's of the order of the Dragon. Which was the Church holy order like for example Crusaiders ,Templars etc.
    Second he wasn't a cannibal its a fear mongering tactic. Also Blood was used as condiment in old times and even to this day still is in some places. Like Baked blood is eaten in many Slav countries while Butchering the livestock. Which is done by owners on the Farm not Butcher shops still. Finns drink heated Deer blood etc... On top of which Human blood is much more alike Animal blood in ways it wont induce illness like Human meat would over time. Its not as distinct from animals like Meat is.
    Third Yes Vlad did Invade and use scorched earth But the reference is that at one earlier point he Was banished from his land and ran to Hungary by the Turks. It was before he managed to " persuade " Nobles to Unify under his rightful rule as a successor to the throne.
    But the reference is to the fleeing when He literally Destroyed his home country by scorching So the Ottoman's get nothing.
    Fourth Nailed the Hat to the Ottoman Envoy As Turks Only took The hat of for the Sultan. And Maybe some other Muslim Ruler But never a Christian.
    So in Vlad's words : "This man is afraid of loosing his hat, so let me take care he never has to worry about it again."
    And Fifth Dracula eats his feet alot in this. "Wow I didn't Know you could read"
    You didn't Know a son Of Royalty is literate, who are you dissing m8?
    Not keen on neck washes. Even peasants washed quite alot in Middle ages its a common hollywood BS. People loved to stay clean and they ad more opportunity to do so Not being Bound to Running water like nowdays.
    Needles to say Vlad Wasn't mad for the majority of his Life. And For today's people as Atrocious hes deeds may sound Its not the acts that were uncommon. The difference is How Willing he was to do it,and how often. But To understand that even than he wasn't doing it because he was mad You have to Understand the Political climate at the time and spot.
    Short Version It was a "Don't Fuck with me" tactic.
    For example Ottomans Spiked people for petty crimes But it was a WOW because noone could ever dare to Spike Ottomans. As they had a Massive army and could Wreck your shit,an intention to inade Everything and giving them a reason was really dumb and just what they wanted. But when Vlad did it Without Blinking ,on mass, repeatedly, Ottoman Solders lost the Untouchable complex.
    That's the true reason ,not to Enjoy gore.

    Point - Canibal connotations were completely unsubstantiated.
    Vlad III was a vicious warlord, and quite possibly a psychopath, but he was also an able ruler and administrator who did well by his people and was pretty devout, or at least overtly practicing Christian.
    The blood-drinking was one part defamation, and another conflating two unrelated matters:
    See, what he did was put up staked foes in his dining/feasting halls, as object lessons but there is no proof he ever actually held feasts while those staked were up. That part is more than probably invented.

    Greetings.
    Most of the stuff people claim Vlad Țepeş did, are myths. I know quite a few, since Vlad was one of my favourite leaders, because he defended our territories no matter at what cost. If we, Romanians, don't read the Qur'an on our knees nowadays, is thanks to our ancestor leaders and one of them is The Impaler. I will forever be grateful to them, 'cause I'm not forced to wear a freaking cloth over my face.
    We even have a saying: "de nu era Țepeş, ca să înfrângă tot duşmanul,
    astăzi neamul ți-ar fi plâns şi în genunchi citeai Coranul." ~ "If it weren't for 'the Impaler', to defeat all the enemies,
    today your people would've cried and on your knees you would be reading the Qur'an." 😊

    The dark history of Vlad was more or less created by the Hungarian empire at that time because after he lost his throne to the Turks, he was protected by the Hungarian Empire first under arrest for his violence on their empire, and then for protection against their enemies. Vlad was kept in the court of the Hungarian Emperor like a wild animal to intimidate his enemies.
    If you talk with any Romanian at that time and today, Vlad the Impaler was a great hero and ruler who enforced his laws and nationalism for his country.
