Vlad Drakul

Count Vlad Drakul (1390 - unknown) was a notorious vampire who inspired the author Bram Stoker to create his famous character Count Dracula. Drakul had a son, Vlad the Impaler, who presumably shared his father's notorious reputation.

Behind the scenes

 * Vladislav III, also known as Vlad the Impaler, was an actual historical figure. He was a Romanian king who reigned three times between 1448 and 1476. His epithet, "Impaler," originated from his favoured method of executing those who opposed him. Vlad III is indeed widely speculated to have been the inspiration behind the title character of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula.
 * Gary Oldman, who plays Sirius Black in the films, played Vlad Drakul in a 1992 film.
