DRACULA , Order of the Dragon Vlad The Impaler

Description: DRACULA ... What a loud name in the whole world . Who has not heard of this sinister character ... thirsty for blood . But behind the legend ... are real facts , places, characters and events . Since Bram Stoker , Vlad the Impaler has become Count Dracula - a vampire in constant search of victims whose blood to suck . It is very hard to understand how the situation has arisen in which the image of a phantom driven by malefic forces has been superimposed upon the historical personage of the romanian prince . It is said that , when seeking an emblematic personage for his novel , Bram Stoker called upon his friend Arminius Vambery , a profesor at the University of Budapest .The latter told the Irish writer about a Wallachian voievod of the fifteenth century , who was known as the " Son of the Devil " ... This latter detail was decisive thus , in 1897 , the famous fictional character of Dracula was born . Why was Vlad the Impaler known to his contemporaries as " Dracula " ? Although at first sight it might not appear to be , the explanation is , in fact , very simple : at Nurnburg , on 8 February 1431 , his father , Vlad I , was initiated by the Emperor Sigismund into the Order of the Dragon . This chivalric order was a military-religious organisation whose goal was to halt the expansion of the Ottoman Empire . The order 's coat of arms consisted of a dragon ( the symbol of the Ottomans ) and a Christian cross . Since in romanian " dragon " is also called " drac " ... Vlad I , was given the epithet " Dracul " , while his descendants would be named the Draculesti . Vlad the Impaler was " Draculea " ( DRACULA ) , that is " Son of the Drac " All the legends of Vlad the Impaler , alias Dracula , tell of his unusual cruelty . The often macabre way in which he thought to " do justice " and punish instilled fear in his subjects . His detractors took care that the chronicles perpetuated only the image of a voievod thirsty for blood . This is why it was very simple for the historical figure of Vlad Dracul to become associated with the fictional character in a horror novel . Thus Vlad Dracul enters the category of vampires , of those phantoms that crave fresh blood to perpetuate their pallid existence ... From the heart of Transylvania ... right in your hand !!!
