Vlad the Impaler
1431‐76
Prince of Wallachia. Reigned 1448, 1456-62, and 1476. In Romanian history, he is known as a brave general who defeated the Ottoman Empire, but in the West he is better known as the model for B. Stoker's novel Dracula (1897). Son of Vlad Dracul, Prince of Wallachia. At the time, Wallachia was a region where Islamic and Christian forces clashed, and he himself spent his childhood in Turkey as a hostage. During his long second reign, he curbed the tyranny of the great nobles and restricted the privileges of German merchants in Transylvania, strengthening central power.
