Vlad the Impaler, also known as the real Count Dracula, was a Roman Catholic

This is the incredible story of Vlad the Impaler from his youth in Wallachia and childhood as a hostage to his wars against the Ottoman Turks and his great passion for impaling his enemies.

Vlad Dracula was born into a time of great conflict between the Christian kingdoms of the Balkans and Central Europe and the Ottoman Turks who were determined to conquer them.

Vlad III Dracula was the son of a Voivode of Wallachia yet he had to fight all his life for his throne and his people.

Please note this is not about Bram Stoker’s Dracula or vampires of any kind – just the real history of Vlad Țepeș and his wars against the Saxons of Transylvania and the Ottomans.
