The Gruesome True Story Of The Real-Life Dracula, Vlad The Impaler, Will Definitely Keep You Awake Tonight

The soldiers ultimately killed and beheaded Vlad III, then delivered his head to Constantinople, where it was displayed.

And even though the Middle Ages have become known for brutal acts of violence, the story of Vlad III may have only been a blip in the historical timeline if it were not for Wiliam Wilkinson.

William Wilkinson was a British consul who penned a book in 1820 entitled “An Account of the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia: With Various Political Observations Relating To Them.”

Bram Stoker went on to read that book, in which Wilkinson delved deep into the region’s bloody history. So, Dracula was born, and the infamous fictional character lived on as a monstrous and merciless villain.
