Excerpt: Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia (1431-1476), more commonly known as Vlad the Impaler (Romanian: Vlad ¿epe¿ pronounced ) or simply as Dracula, was a three-time Voivode of Wallachia, ruling mainly from 1456 to 1462. Historically, Vlad III is best known for his resistance against the Ottoman Empire and its expansion and for the impaling of enemies.

In Romanian language, the word Dracul also has the meaning "devil" which sometimes leads to mistranslation of Dracula's name. In the bible, the devil is also called the dragon, the great dragon and the old serpent. Revelation 12:9 His post-mortem moniker of "¿epe¿" ("Impaler") originated in his killing opponents by impalement.

Today "Drakula" or "Drakulic" (e.g. Slavenka Drakulic) is a common surname in the former countries of Yugoslavia. Vlad was born in Sighi¿oara, Transylvania (part of the Kingdom of Hungary at the ...
