Due to some novels and film versions of Drácula, much people think that Stoker based its personage on an historical figure: Vlad Draculea, known like the Empalador (Sods), and in legend of vampires that circulated in Eastern Europe. Sods lived in century XV and were prince of Valaquia, that formed with Moldavia the kingdom of Rumania. He is a hero in his earth, by the ferocious resistance that opposed the advance of the Ottomans. Nevertheless, he was extremely cruel with his enemies, to whom it condemned the capital punishment of empalamiento. There is no indication, however, that it drank blood, like the vampires, nor never some with the vampirismo was associated to him of form. The Drácula name comes from Dracul (of the Latin "draco", dragoon), with which was known its father, who integrated the Order of the Dragoon, founded by Sacred Roman Emperor Segismundo of Luxembourg. The suffix "- to" it means "son of".
