How Did Vlad The Imapaler's Life Affected Romanian Culture

Vlad The Imapalet was a very infamous person who's life is full of mystery and questions. Even thousands of years after his death. Vlad the Imapaler was popularly known for his cruel and unusual punishment of his enemies. Vlad the Imapaler was nicknamed "Dracula", a fully fictional character who had a taste for blood. Vlad the Imapaler life had a positive affect on Romanian culture even though he left behind him a trail of blood and dead bodies. He had s positive affect because his image had created a booming tourist industry and helped from the culture or Romania.

Vlad the Imapaler was born in 1431. His father Vlad Dracul 2 and his mother was "Cneajna of Moldavia". Vlad the Imapaler was educated at court with training that was appropriate for knight hood. Vlad grew up in Romania. He spent summers with his mother in Moldavia(South Eastern Europe). These are the places where he developed his life.

Vlad was known for being cruel to his enemies in his way of punishment of his enemies.

He took over the thrown after his father Vlad Dracul 2. Vlads image to scholars are mixed meaning they're a lot of mixed meaning they're a lot of mixed emotions. In a server of the top ten evil people in history Vlad the Imapaler was listed as number 2. Which means that many people think that Vlads action were wrong and inexcusable. On the other hand Romania scholars don't dispute the fact that Vlad killed 20,000 men, women and children and tortured people by ordering them to be skinned, strangled, buried and nailed. Still they believe that Vlad was a good guy and not evil he was just being a product of his environment and his time period. In fact in Romania he was viewed as hero because of the wars that he

won.

Vlad the Imapaler did change society as well as the culture of Romania because he was king of Romania during a very influential time in history for the country of Romania. His impact was a very eerie one. For the people who's family members who was killed by Vlad and his empire his affect was negative and they hated him. For those who lived off his success as king through the economy it was positive and they rememberd him as being good king and a war hero. Their points of view are equally understandable. For me personally it his hard to choose a side but in the end I think that Vlad the Imapaler serviced his country well and only had his country best interest.

Vlad the Imapaler met his demise on 1476 in battle against the turels near the town of Bucharest in December. Reports indicate that he may have been assassinated.
