The real Dracula was far from Bram Stoker's well-mannered
aristocrat. In a world ruled by petty tyrants and constantly at
war, the young Dracula - better known as Vlad the Impaler - was
held hostage by the Turks while his father was assassinated and his
brother was buried alive. Finally released, Dracula conducted an
almighty purge, surrounding his palace with noblemen impaled on
stakes. Then he turned his attention to military campaigns against
the Turks and Bulgars to consolidate his power. Yet to Romanians
and the Pope he was a hero and liberator, fighting to protect his
kingdom and countrymen from invasion in a complex and treacherous
time. And, as an initiate in the Order of the Dragon, Dracula also
played a vital (if not entirely noble) part in the fight against
the Ottoman war machine. Here, James Waterson details the good and
the bad of this warlord prince, offering a fascinating insight into
the violent end of the Middle Ages.
