Where did Vlad Tepes, known as Dracula, ruled?

Question

What country or region did he ruled, not similar as the movies say,

Answer 1

Vlad III the Impaler in common Romanian reference; also known as Vlad Dracula or Vlad Drăculea and Kazıklı Bey in Turkish; November or December, 1431 – December 1476) was Prince (voivode) of Wallachia, a former polity which is now part of Romania. His three reigns were in 1448, 1456-1462, and 1476. In the English-speaking world, Vlad is best known for the legends of the exceedingly cruel punishments he imposed during his reign, and consequently serving as the inspiration for the vampire main character in Bram Stoker's popular Dracula novel.

Answer 2

I believe that this is the same answer as below with one exception. Vlad was not inhuman. He was very much concerned for his country and concerned with the 'royals' of the time. His supreme mission was to protect his people and to make sure Christianity remained influencial. His was NOT, however, a Holy War. Had Romania been left alone, and had the 'royals' been faithful to their sacred trusts, no impaling would have occured. It was deemed, by Vlad, necessary to give a message to all who would not hear his message.

Incidently, his original castle, the one imitated in the most recent movie, was atop a mountain and for all practicle purposes, inpenitrable. The were starved out. A recent Discovery Channel program shows much detailed information.

As Prince, he led an independent policy in relation to the Ottoman Empire, and in Romania he is best remembered as a prince with a deep sense of justice and a defender of Wallachia against Ottoman expansionism. His impact on the expansion of the Ottoman Empire is recognizable in that his successful hold against them bought precious time for Western Europe.

Answer 4

Vlad Tepes (which in English ability Vlad the Impaler) became into Vlad III prince of Wallachia, son of Vlad Dracul that's why he became into called Dracula meaning "son of Dracul" (In Romanian it rather is asserted Draculea). he's seen a hero in Romania because of the fact he effectively saved the Ottoman Turks at bay, made the streets secure from brigands & thieves (they say that village fountains had gold cups to drink with & no person would dare thieve them from concern of Vlad's justice) & took administration of Transylvania from the Saxons & reunited all of Romania below his rule. yet maximum quite, whilst Irish author Bram Stoker based his usual vampire count extensive kind Dracula on Vlad Draculea, this made Vlad Tepes a wealthy source of tourism for Romania. with out Stoker's classic vampire novel, a super kind of the international would have in no way heard of Vlad the Impaler.
