}}{{Quote|From the mountainous kingdom of Wallachia in what is now modern Romania a man emerged who would excel himself in designing innovative methods of torture and mass murder. In a bloody six year reign, the ruler of this kingdom brought terror to both citizens and foreigners alike. Prince Vlad Dracula was more than the inspiration for the bloodthirsty vampire of legend. To this day he is still known as 'Vlad the Impaler', in memory of his favourite method of killing.|Introduction to a Discovery Channel documentary about Vlad the Impaler.}}
'''Vlad III''', Prince of Wallachia, more commonly known as '''Vlad the Impaler''', also known as '''Vlad Dracula''', or simply '''Dracula''' (November 2, 1431 – December 31, 1476), was a Wallachian (present-day southern Romania) voivode. His three reigns were in 1448, 1456–1462, and 1476. Vlad the Impaler was known for the exceedingly cruel punishments he imposed as ruler of Wallachia. Impalement was Dracula's preferred method of [[torture]] and execution. His exceptional cruelty has inspired Bram Stoker for the horror character of Count [http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/Dracula Dracula]. It is estimated that 80,000 people died under his rule.
