Episode 29 Poenari Castle and the Son of the Dragon

Dean, Laura and Krysta discuss Vlad Dracula, aka Vlad Tepes aka Vlad the Impaler. This week, they screw their courage to the sticking point and discuss Vlad's life, his temper and his penchant for impaling those who irritated him. From his time as a hostage to make his father more amenable to serving the Sultan, to his death years later. They discuss Poenari Castle, it's construction, some of those who perished there and some of those who are there still. So turn down the lights and join us for a bloody tale that partially inspired Bram Stoker to create a literary character that has been popular for over a 100 years.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.
