Dracula- The Demon Prince
The Life of Vlad Tepes, otherwise known as Vlad Dracula, is a life shrouded in mystery and terror. Dracula was born in 1431 in Transylvania; a western Romanian principality bordered by the Carpathian Mountains. His mother, the Princess Cneajna, schooled young Vlad. His father, Vlad II was given the title of Dracul by King Sigismond of Hungary. The name Dracul means “dragon” and was awarded to his father for his valor in defending the Catholic Church against the onslaught of the Ottoman Turks during the fall of Constantinople. The name was then passed down to his son Vlad Dracula (being the diminutive of Dracul “the little dragon”) Dracula’s father was the authority of every German city of the region and defended Transylvania from the wrath of the Turks. This nobility was rewarded with admission to the Order of the Dragon, this much is already apparent. However, in time Dracul came to realize that numerous political parties in Europe were bending to the will of the Sultan Murad II. The treacherous Vlad secretly signed an agreement with the Sultan betraying his closest of allies, including his dear friend King Sigismund of Hungary. Many times did Vlad appear on the front lines as counselor to the Sultan in battles again
