Vlad the Impaler, a.k.a.
Vlad III, Dracula, Drakulya, or Tepes, was born in late 1431, in the citadel of
Sighisoara, Transylvania, the son of
Vlad II or Dracul, a military governor, appointed by Holy Roman Emperor
Sigismund. Vlad Dracul was also a knight in the Order of the Dragon, a secret
fraternity created in 1387 by the Emperor, sworn to uphold Christianity and
defend the empire against the Islamic Turks. Transylvania, along with Moldavia,
and Wallachia, are now joined together as Romania. The name Dracul can be
interpreted in two ways, the first translation from Romanian would be "Dragon",
but it sometimes also means "Devil". Vlad was not called Tepes, which means
""spike" in Romanian, until after his death; instead, he was known as Vlad
Dracula, the added "a" meaning "son of", so essentially, throughout his life, he
was known as the "son of the Devil".
