When I say Dracula, you're probably thinking of a vampire. There was a real man named Dracula and he ruled over the southern part of the country of what we call today "Romania".
Muhammad Al Fateh (30 March 1432 – 3 May 1481), as he began to advance into eastern Europe for example Bosnia, Serbia, Hungary all of these lands, The people of Wallachia of southern Romania, they wanted to fight against the Ottomans. At that time the ruler of Wallachia was Vlad II Dracul. However they were very weak and so they had to make a peace deal with him. So as part of this peace deal Muhammad Al Fateh, He said to the ruler, "You have to send me two of your sons and we will send them to Istanbul to be educated". So he sent his two sons, one was named "Vlad" and one was named "Radu". Vlad and his younger brother, Radu, were held as hostages in the in 1442 to secure their father's loyalty. Now Vlad is the one who we know as Dracula. Because the word "Dracula", it means son of Dracul, which was the name of his father. "Dracul" means a devil. So he's the son of devil and this is actually quite relevant, it's rather fitting when you hear about this man.
