The name Dracula has been immortalised by the author Bram Stoker in his 1897 novel about the vampire. However, this Dracula is purely fictional. The real Dracula was named Vlad the third and had another nickname for which he was famed, that was Vlad the Impaler. Contrary to popular belief, Vlad wasn't considered a monstrous cruel being in his time, he was a national hero in Romania for his countless deeds of bravery and resilience and is often considered as one of the most important rulers in Wallachian history.  His methods, including impalement, were intended to instil fear in the enemy and deter further invasions. Vlad's defiance against a powerful empire demonstrated his willingness to put his life on the line for the freedom and independence of his kingdom.
