Vlad The Impaler

Vlad III Dracula better known by his moniker "Vlad The Impaler" was a 15th century ruler of Wallachia (now part of Romania). Vlad was imfamous for his use of torture and mutilation among-st war enemies and his own people. His methods of torture included disembowelment, beheading, or even being skinned or boiled alive. Still, his preferred method was impalement. He would drive a large wooden stake through the person's body and then leave them to die of exposure. After a battle against the Ottoman Turks Vlad supposedly had 20,000 men impaled and staked up along the Danube waterway. When the second wave of Turks arrived they immediately retreated due to the "forest of corpses". Vlad inspired the novel Dracula and paved the way for modern day vampires. He was known to dine in won battlefields and dip his bread into enemies blood and then consume it. Despite his incogitable methods of torture, he was known as an infamous hero due to his countless victories in war.
