National hero of Romania— of old. He knew how to deal with the muslim hordes that threatened the country, and actually Europe to the West.
The castles are still there and a guided driving tour of battle sites and the big one.
The story iirc is one of the muslim emissaries making a pitch to Vlad to surrender... submit (islam means to submit)— and he had their turbans nailed to their heads and sent the corpses back to the turkiks.

The story goes the emissaries would not remove their hats inside the castle so Vlad had their hats nailed to their heads.
The house where they were born still stands I guess.
