Well you asked for his history, sure hope its not the same guy or even related.
Vlad Tepes, the historical figure who inspired Bram Stoker for his novel, Dracula, Vlad Tepes was born in November 1431, in the fortress of Sighisoara, Romania. His father, Vlad Dracul, at that time appointed military governor of Transylvania. "Dracul," in Romanian language, means "Dragon",
Vlad Tepes and his younger brother Radu were taken hostage by the Sultan Murad and held in Turkey. This Turkish captivity surely played an important role in Dracula's upbringing; the Turks set him free after informing him of his father's assassination in 1447 He also learned about his older brother's death and how he had been tortured and buried alive by the boyars of Tirgoviste.
At 17 years old, Vlad Tepes Dracula, supported by a force of Turkish cavalry made his first major move toward seizing the throne. when he had the satisfaction of killing his mortal enemy and his father's assassin. Vlad then committed many cruelties, and hence established his controversed reputation. His first major act of revenge was aimed at the boyars of Tirgoviste for the killing of his father and his brother Mircea. He arrested all the boyar families. He impaled the older ones on stakes.
Vlad 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. But his favorite method was impalement on stakes, hence the surname "Tepes" which means "The Impaler" in the Romanian language. Even the Turks referred to him as "The Impaler Prince." .
There are many anecdotes about the philosophy of Vlad Tepes Dracula. He was for instance particularly known throughout his land for his fierce insistence on honesty and order. Almost any crime, from lying and stealing to killing, could be punished by impalement.
As I said OUCH.
