Question

Where was Vlad the Impaler from? (He's the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula.)

Answer 1

Vlad the Impaler was from Wallachia, now part of modern-day Romania, and was the historical figure that inspired Bram Stoker's fictional character Dracula.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vlad the Impaler, inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula, was from Wallachia, which is a region in modern-day Romania. He was a prince of Wallachia and lived during the 15th century, gaining a reputation for his brutal methods of impaling his enemies, which contributed to the legend and horror surrounding his character. While Bram Stoker's Dracula was indeed inspired by Vlad, Stoker merged the historical figure's reputation with Eastern European folklore about blood-drinking immortals to create his fictional vampire. Unlike the mythic Dracula, however, Vlad the Impaler's ties were to Wallachia, rather than Transylvania, although the two regions are geographically close within Romania.

Answer 2

Transylvania

Step-by-step explanation:

Vlad known as "The Impaler" was born in Transilvania. He was the great inspiration for the creation of Bram Stoker's most memorable character, Dracula. This is because Vlad exhibited terrible and violent behavior towards his victims, in addition to being named after Dracul, when he joined a military brotherhood called the Order of the Dragon.
