The character of "Dracula" is fictional - there are no such things as human vampires. It is thought that Stoker took some of his ideas and themes from stories of tyrannical Hungarian and Roumanian kings and princes of long ago, some of whom were partial to impaling their enemies on poles in the market square, but that is all.

Vlad was said to have put to death 20,000 men, women, and children by impaling them upright on stakes.Note also that Vlad the Impaler's father was named "Vlad II Dracul".The Dracula character became a stock figure in the horror repertoire, portrayed with varying degrees of sympathy and repulsion.
