So what’d they call him? Vlad the guy?
Vlad the normal person who doesn’t impale people
That’s why he started the impaling. His name was too long.
Makes sense
Vlad the existent
Vlad the Pale
Vlad the expaler.
Is that a word?
Impale, expale, I just got an ounce in the mail.
Vlad the good Lad
Vlad the not yet impaler?
Vlad the Impugner. He used to accuse people of lying all the time.
Perhaps he was well endowed and already had the title before.

His father was in the order of the dragon. So he was Vlad Dracul, or Vlad the dragon. Vlad is the son of Dracul: Dracula or Vlad the son of the dragon. So basically the vampire is just the son of a dragon, which is pretty metal, but not as metal as the actual dragon.

I know you watched the same behind the bastards episode… But basically all of Romania, the people behind these, used it as the devil meaning. Yes the word might have medieval origins, but what Robert overlooked is when the stories actually began being formed.

I don’t imply to be an expert. But all the information I got was from the first paragraph of vlad the impaler and vlad II Dracul.
It is interesting that in Romania it’s a synonym for devil. That’s metal.
But about the midieval origins, Vlad the Impaler is from the actual middle ages. As is his father. So I would assume the midieval origins are “the Dragon” or “Son of the Dragon”. Any other origins might be influenced by Vlad II or Vlad the impaler.
They might have been: Vlad Bad, Dragon = devil. And it stuck. But I don’t know. I’m not a historian.
You say that, but I’m 46 and I’ve never been given the opportunity to impale anyone. Now is that fair?
the opportunity has always been there, your eyes just weren’t open to it yet

Maybe you just haven’t really applied yourself.
Yeah before that he was called “some dude in a weird hat.” I’m glad he found a hobby that he was good at.
So what you’re saying that I’m already half a decade late to start impaling people? Well, fuck…
you know, I always wondered how he impaled people. Like was it belly to back? seems simple and just lots of stabbing. Was it like butt to head? That would be pretty horrifying because you gotta get through bones and organs and breathing Was it limbs? Be a pretty slow death.
Afaik ass to mouth
Ass up was common, but also impaling through turbans for even great disrespect.
Ok, so image a spit roast, except the shaft is a wooden rod the thickness of your forearm and the meat is you. The shaft is forced into the meat, starting at the ass, and carefully inserted as to not damage its surroundings until it comes out the other end, this being your mouth, and then the shaft is firmly placed in the ground so that you are now an example of what not to do. Also, it is said that vlad was so good at impairing people that they would still be alive after the shaft went all the way through, leaving them in pain as they slowly die from either organ failure, internal bleeding, or thirst and/or starvation.
i hope my 30s aren’t mid
Wait wait don’t tell me taught me he was probably vegan.
This demon got his head shopped off and impaled (if I recall correctly) outside of Istanbul.
In 1476, while marching to yet another battle with the Ottomans, Vlad and a small vanguard of soldiers were ambushed, and Vlad was killed and beheaded — by most reports, his head was delivered to Mehmed II in Constantinople as a trophy to be displayed above the city’s gates.
He got what was coming to him.
There is still time, is what you’re saying…
Also, in those days, that was like 50.
