Legend and historyDracula Vlad Tepes- Dracula,the greatest prince who reigned Wallachia,second half of the XV century,borned at 1431 at Sighisoara(little town in Transylvania). Recognized by justice and by his care for people,Vlad Tepes lived in a bloody epoch which marked him.His bloody memory is frighful and terrific. The Bran castle,situated inThe Carpathian Mountains and built around 1300 by Dietrich bachelor,became fond of the prince name,because he evoked,with his dark aspect,the terrific century of Dracula. We can assert,without any doubt,that Vlad Tepes-Dracula,was a guest at Iancu de Hunedoara at Bran Castle,once of his life,going to the Oratia fortress. The voivod (prince) Vlad Tepes became the legendary personage of a distant country,over mountains and forests-Transylvania. The counts of Sas,dissatisfieded with severe laws promulgated by Vlad Tepes,added in time,the bloody stories about the hungarian countess Elisabeth Bathory, a real executionere.
The countess Elisabeth Bathory,borned in 1560 in Hungary,transformed Cetnie Castle in a real slaughter house,where she was murdering young female and she was practising magic rituals with their blood.(e.g.making look younger ritual) Her crimes was attributed to Vlad Tepes. The Dracula personage borned after the prince death and his image was propagated by the Germans counts being illustrated in woodcut. Starting with this moment,the bloody vampire thus created,reappeared like « strigoi »(or « moroi »)and known with « the Vampire of the Carpathians Mountains » or « Dracula Count »name. The Dracula name was attributed him by the Dragon order,which his father had obtained,like the Bathorys too. The legends and the popular convictions,show that the voivod Vlad Tepes saved Romania by enemies(especially Turks).the offensive against the Ottomans,revived the liberty hope for oppressed nation from Balkan region. The popular legends restored the historic truth:Vlad Tepes was a honest,brave and glorious voivod and not a bloody vampire. The rest is fiction,good for film scenario and tourism !
