This superb FDC was sent to me by my good friend Teodor Ghiatza-Melnic, from Romania. Thank you! :)Read more in the text from 2 posts ago, and by clicking tag/label Dracula.
Also, from wikipedia (one of my most favorite websites, despite its imperfections):
"Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia (c. 1431 – December, 1476), more commonly known as the Impaler (Romanian: Vlad Ţepeş pronounced [ˈvlad ˈt͡sepeʃ]) or Dracula, was a three-time voivode of Wallachia, ruling mainly from 1456 to 1462.
Historically, Vlad is best known for his independent policy towards the Ottoman Empire, the expansionism of which he resisted[4] and for the exceedingly cruel punishment he imposed.[5]
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.[6]"
