Best Answer

Vlad III, known as Vlad the Impaler was Prince of Walachia (now a part of modern Romania.) He was the 'model' for Bram Stoker's book, Dracula.

He was one of the few princes to renew Walachia's resistance to the Turks. He ruled during the second half of the 15th century and was

vicious in combat and his techniques of 'intimidation.'

That's where the legend of Dracula and his impalings comes from.

Is Dracula by Bram Stoker an evil presece or a real character?

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. There is no Frankenstein's monster, either.
