Cunocut for sadism , Vlad was both respected by his subjects for campaigns to fight the Turks. He was respected both as a fighter and as a prince who does not tolerate injustice , during the reign of bringing some monasteries . He was a hero worshiped and feared by his people.
Victor Hugo in " Legends Siecles " play the way Vlad Tepes army faced the Sultan Mehmet II coming to conquer the Romanian Country . Advancing to Targoviste , the soldiers of the Turkish army were terrified the view of the Impaler : houses burnt , scorched plains , and water fountains poisoned.
This culminated with the image but near the city walls which housed Vlad the Impaler : an enormous forest of bodies. From fear and terrified by the smell of corpses 20,000 Turkish prisoners stuck in Tepe , Muhammad officers withdrew recognizing ruler victory .
For Romanian prince Vlad Tepes stayed during which you could drink water from the Citadel Targoviste , with a solid gold goblet without anyone to steal ( historical sources confirm the existence of this cup which was used until the day that Vlad Tepes died ) .
Vlad 's death
Dracula 's death not much is known , there are several hypotheses. The most popular story is that he had been killed in battle against the Turks near Bucharest in December 1476 . Others argue that Wallachian boyars was killed during the battle .
What happen with the corpse of Vlad ? This is another mystery legends fabric , none of which could not be confirmed
Most historians believe that Vlad was buried near the altar of the Monastery Snagov monastery which is on an island in the middle of Lake Snagov, only now the boats . What is certain is that he was beheaded and taken to Constantinople , for the whole world to see that the rule of the Ottoman ruler was over really scary .

In 1931-32 , the archaeologist Dinu Rosetti, the order of the Romanian Academy , Snagov Monastery sought to discover the body of Vlad Dracula.
But I found only a few graves robbed inside the monastery, local legends saying that Vlad 's body had been buried at the entrance to the monastery. Nedand credence to this legend, the researcher digging and unearthed a tomb located in front of the altar . But the tomb was empty. Continuing to dig , found a pagan altar with the bones of slaughtered animals .
Giving a chance to legend , began to investigate the site of the entrance to the monastery , where he found the tomb had not been robbed , belonging , apparently, a nobleman . Clothing that covers the body belonged to a wealthy man looked like .
It was found a ring came from Nuremberg. However skeleton also had head and , as I said above , it is a fact that Vlad was beheaded .
Tomb of Vlad (assumed )
Snagov Monastery , however, has high humidity, which makes the majority of the remains of those buried here to break down very quickly. It is therefore very likely that Vlad 's body to be broken before it was started research for his discovery .
Certainly we can say that there was Dracula . As prince Vlad Tepes as the same evil vampire , remains a challenge for the fans , but the fact is that the vampire myth has gained ground ( mainly because the media ) in the face of history .
