He was Vlad Dracula’s son so he became the heir of the Valachie’s throne.

In 1462, Sultan Mohamed II announced Vald Tepes
his intention to be at war with him. So Dracula went to the Buda’s fortress and stayed there for 12 years to hide. He decided to come back to his principal castle, the Hunadora one.

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Three years after, Iancu from Hunadora, a politician, decided to set a trap to Vlad Tepes, so he asked him to go to defend the Valachie’s borders. When Vlad arrived at the border, there were his older subjects who thought he was too cruel to continue to rule the country so they killed him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Iancu from Hunadora

For his book, Bram Stoker decided not to use all of the elements from the original story, like the fact that Dracula was living in Valachie and not in Transilvania. Bram also decided to say that Dracula was a vampire because he thought it was a good explanation to justify his violence.
