Episode 4 Vlad the Impaler – The Real Dracula

from History, Myth & Fiction Storytelling · host Andy Taylor

Few figures in history have inspired fear, fascination, and myth as much as Vlad III, better known as Vlad the Impaler. A 15th-century prince of Wallachia, Vlad’s reputation for cruelty became legendary, yet it also inspired the fictional vampire Count Dracula, immortalized by Bram Stoker centuries later. The story of Vlad the Impaler is a haunting intersection of history, folklore, and the power of storytelling.
