Vlad III


 * For other individuals named Dracula, see Dracula (disambiguation).

Prince Vlad III, later known as Dracula (meaning "Son of the Dracula"), served as the sovereign and ruler of Ungro-Walachia and duchies of Amlas and Fagaras several times during the latter half of the 15th century. A tyrannical ruler who was much feared by both his subjects and many of his enemies, he fought against the Muslim forces of the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II, as led by his younger brother Radu the Handsome, in Constantinople in 1462. During this time, he was briefly engaged to Erimem, a companion of the Fifth Doctor.

Four hundred years after his death, the reports of his brutality inspired a fictional vampire character of the same name. (BFA: Son of the Dragon)
