He was a ruthless Romanian leader. The name means son of Dracul. He is actually well revered in the country for he was effective at protecting the nation from enemies. The Romanian tourist industry, however, is not adverse to take advantage of the myth's popularity. As indicated by others, he was known as Vlad the impaler. He skewed enemies an a large stake like pieces of shish kabob meat. The stake stuck out of the ground and the people bled to a horrible death. Around the walls of his domain, he might have had hundreds of bodies hanging on these skews as a warning to would be attacker. There have been stories that Dracula drank the blood of these victims. But I believe this is only a myth designed to more closely associate him with the evil creature that became his name sake.

Bram Stoker was originally going to name the creature, "Count Van Pire." Thankfully, when he came across the name, "Dracula," he liked that better, and I am glad.
