Most Famous Vampires. Vlad Tepes the Impaler Dracula The name Dracula conjures up a myriad of dark images in our mind; late night horror movies of vampires and vampire hunters, dark forests in Romania, and tyranical leaders capable of all sorts of evil acts. Here is some background information on the Dracula from which Bram Stoker -- and Jeanne Kalogridis -- were inspired: Prince Vlad Tepes, born , died , ruler of the lands now known as Romania. Vlad Tepes which Kalogridis spells phonetically in English as Tsepesh was born in the town of Sighisoara in Transylvania now known as northern Romania in and later came to rule that area of southern Romania known as Wallachia. The word "tepes" in Romanian means "impaler" -- and Vlad was so-named because of his penchant for impalement as a means of punishing his enemies. Impalement was a particularly gruesome form of execution, wherein the victim was impaled between the legs -- to put it politely -- upon a large, sharpened stake the width of a burly man's arm. Vlad especially enjoyed mass executions, where several victims were impaled at once, and their stakes hoisted upright.

Lucrezia's family was typical of the ruthless Machiavellian politics and sexual corruption of the times. It was alleged to be characteristic of the Renaissance Papacy. Lucrezia was cast as a femme fatale , a role seen in many artworks, novels, and films. Very little is known for sure about Lucrezia. Whether she was involved in the political activities of her father and brothers is unclear. They certainly arranged several marriages for her to important and powerful men. Presumably, this helped their own political ambitions. Tradition has it that Alfonso of Aragon was an illegitimate son of the King of Naples and that her brother Cesare may have had him murdered when his political value faded. Lucrezia is described as having heavy blonde hair which fell past her knees, a beautiful complexion, hazel eyes which changed colour, a full, high bosom, and a natural grace which made her appear to "walk on air".

On the other hand, some things could perhaps have been described better; I reached p. In the beginning Lucrezia was thought to be possessed by some kind of demon, but medical technology would now prove her to be epileptic. Despite some of their horrific acts, you are seduced and absorbed into their lives. Remember back when vampires were definitely creatures of horror, bound to humanity, yet whole apart from it? I was enthralled with lucrezia's journey from mere mortal to blood thirsty vampire to humane immortal healer and vampire witch. Although the papal figure did take his vow of chastity, he was quite aged at the time of his induction.

This is the reason for her being linked to werewolfism and folklore states if your a werewolf in life in death your a vampire. This thought was probably conceived when it was found that hours previous Dravinia had herself died, leaving Lucrezia completely alone. She was also co-script editor with David J Howe.
