the previous answer was completely incorrect. Vlad did in fact use swords in direct combat, im a bit foggy as to what the name of the sword is but it looks like a variation of the spartan sword mixed with a sabre. the deep curve of the blade caused great cutting potential especially since all of the weight is at the top of the blade. vlad only impailed people after the battle was over because impailing would take up too much time on the battlefeild.
Vlad Dracula was at war with the Ottaman Turk. When ever he defeated a Turkish army he would kill all the captive to make sure they wouldn't invade again. Vlad the Impaler killed so many people so he could rule Wallachia easier because its easier to rule over people that are afraid of you. Vlad would perfectly fit the modern clinical description "sadistic psychopath". He truly enjoyed torturing and killing others.
Vlad Tepes's second wife was Ilona Szilágyi. She was a Hungarian noblewoman. it was said Vlad merely married her to escape imprisonment and to gain Hungarian ally support. The two lived together after Vlad release in in 1474, in a house in the Hungarian capital. She gave him two sons. Vlad Dracula the IV and another son, who fell ill and died early in life.
The chances are, you won't find a Dragon Ball Z like Runescape, since they are both completely different in their own ways.

Vlad tepes was known as Vlad the impaler through his own country of Romania and by his enemies the Turks ect.. It was more like a nickname, something to better his image or in this scare, to strike fear into those who heard and said his name. Like his brother radu was also known as 'Radu the Handsome'. These nickname often come from their personalities, like Ivan the terrible, or Vlad the impaler.

The real count Dracula was Vlad Tepes (Vlad the Impaler) who really was a pretty nasty chap. There is an article on wikipedia on him. He enjoyed impaling his enemies on stakes and having them brought to his dinner table while he feasted.
Vlad the Impaler
There is a link to an article on Vlad Tepes, or Vlad III the Impaler, below. The article paints a rather different picture of the man than the question assumes. I suggest using the link for more information.
The Vampire legend can be seen throughout the entire world. Most cultures have something like it in their mythology. The best known examples of Vampires from both literature and individuals that have been interpreted as possibly being Vampires comes from Eastern Europe. Transylvania had Vlad Dracul AKA Vlad Tepes AKA Vlad the Impaler AKA Dracula, who served as the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula. And Hungary has Erzebet Bathory.

I don't think that there are any body counts - but you asked about vlad dracul (Vlad II "the dragon") It is well known that he murdered rivals, and participated in wars. If you are asking about Vlad III Dracula ("son of the dragon"), aka Vlad Tepes "the Impaler"), we still wouldn't know, as he was also war-like. Interestingly, Vlad II died in his 50s, and Vlad III in his 40s, so Vlad II had ten more years to raid.
Some say he was based on Vlad the Impaler (Ro. Vlad Ţepeş). Read up on wiki and you'll see why.

No. Early belief in vampires has thought to have come from people at the time not fully understanding the process of a body decomposing after death and so trying to rationalize this by creating the figure of the vampire to explain it. The name comes from Vlad the Impaler, prince of Wallachia (now part of Romania). In modern Romanian, it means "son of the devil" but in Vlad's time it meant "son of the dragon." Vlad is somewhat of a national hero in Romania for preventing the expansion of the Ottoman Empire but he was (and is) notorious for the cruelty of the punishments he meted out -- his favorite method being impalement. Bram Stoker borrowed the name for his famous vampire novel, "Dracula," but there is no evidence that the historic Dracula ever drank blood. Stoker toured Romania while gathering material for his novel and heard of Vlad in his travels. However, he demoted his character to the rank of count. The real Dracula was a prince. He demoted his character to the rank of count because Vlad the Impaler's father was a count for the king of France. The king of France set up and order called the Order Of The Dragons. He sent the counts to rule all over the world. Vlad Tepes, Vlad the Impaler's father was sent to Romania in a town called Wallachia, now Transylvania. Vlad Tepes was proud of the order. He put the sign of the order: a dragon on the Romanian flag. The Romanian people back then were very poor and uneducated. TheY thought the dragon was the Devil, or "Dracul" in Romanian. Later, Vlad Tepes's son was born, and the rest is explained in the top paragraph.
