Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia, more commonly known as Vlad the Impaler or simply Dracula (c.1431 – December, 1476), was a Wallachian (present-day southern Romania) prince. Vlad the Impaler is known for the exceedingly cruel punishment he imposed as ruler of Wallachia; however, the people of Romania refer to Vlad as a savior to their nation and continue to justify his method of torture as not uncommon for that period in history. In the English-speaking world, Vlad III is perhaps most commonly known for inspiring the name of the vampire in Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula.
We at FDM are thrilled to see this work done. We think the baptism and endowment of Dracula sets an encouraging precedent for baptizing other vampires, and look forward to the day when Edward Cullen will also be baptized and endowed.
