Cheezy Riders art by Alan F. Beck
Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia (1431–1476/77), was a member of the House of Draculeti, a branch of the House of Basarab, also known by his patronymic name: Dracula. He was posthumously dubbed Vlad the Impaler ruling mainly from 1456 to 1462. During his lifetime, his reputation for excessive cruelty spread abroad, to Germany and elsewhere in Europe. The name of the vampire Count Dracula in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula was inspired by Vlad's patronymic.
