Description

**The Vampire of Wallachia** is the definitive biography of Vlad Tepes, the enigmatic ruler of Wallachia who inspired Bram Stoker’s classic novel Dracula. Drawing on extensive research and a wealth of primary sources, this book sheds new light on Vlad’s life and legacy, separating fact from fiction and revealing the complex and fascinating man behind the legend.

Vlad Tepes was born in 1431, the second son of Vlad Dracul, the ruler of Wallachia. His early life was marked by political turmoil and violence, and he spent four years in captivity in the Ottoman Empire. This experience would leave a lasting mark on his psyche and shape his future actions as ruler.

In 1456, Vlad returned to Wallachia and claimed the throne. He quickly set about consolidating his power and expanding his territory. He was a skilled military leader and won several decisive victories against his enemies. However, he was also known for his brutality, and his reign was marked by widespread violence and executions.

Vlad’s most infamous act was the impalement of his enemies. He would have them skewered on wooden stakes and left to die in agony. This practice earned him the nickname “Vlad the Impaler” and made him a figure of terror throughout Europe.

Despite his brutality, Vlad was also a popular ruler among the Romanian people. He was seen as a strong leader who would protect them from their enemies. He also implemented a number of reforms, including a new legal code and a land redistribution program.

In 1462, Vlad was forced to flee Wallachia after an invasion by the Ottoman Turks. He spent the next few years in exile, plotting his return. In 1476, he finally succeeded in retaking his throne. However, his reign was short-lived. He was killed in battle against the Ottomans in 1477.

**The Vampire of Wallachia** is a comprehensive and authoritative account of Vlad Tepes’s life and legacy. It is essential reading for anyone interested in this fascinating historical figure.
