Vlad Tepes

[Malufa]

Some of you may or may not realize it, but I have an intense curiousity for Vlad Tepes, whom many consider the basis of Bram Stoker's Dracula.

This is the largest amount of information I have seen on the internet and I like how it shows both main "sides" of the voivode from the german papers as well as the russian papers. Take a look for yourself and tell me what you think.

yeh i watched a program on him a while back so i know a little about him. it made him out to be a real asshole, but then i guess someone who tortures people by impailing them isnt ur best mate right? especially when its to make the population fear him. ill take a look at that *long* article tommorow i guess, but my first impressions of him arent good.

Well there are a lot of things that can be said of him, and he lived a long time ago so it is really open to interpetation. Also it depends upon which accounts you wish to believe, german, balkavian, or russian as to his motives.
