He was cruel, but when compared to other rulers of his time, he was simply a very efficient administrator. For the 1400's he was an exceptionnaly good ruler, but one that had 0 tolerence and would give one hell of a show when he punished. The economy bloomed, cities were built, castles were built, the people was protected from the noble, there was some level of meritocracy, allowing peasants to rise to nobility and acquire lands and crimes rates were low. Meanwhile, half of Europe rulers were inbred imbecile, that kept getting drunk and didn't care about the people (I'm exagerating obviously).

Vlad the Impaler's story is really underrated, glad to see you make this video. I first found out about Vlad when I was reading a book about the campaigns of Mehmet Al-Fatih. When I noticed that Vlad's nickname was Dracula, I was immediately mindblown.

Love to Romania and to Romanian brothers and sisters !!
Much respect from brotherly Serbia .
Tsar Vlad was a hero who defended our faith and the whole Europe.

There was a “professional” class of beggars in medieval times, and up till recently in the Balkans (there is a famous show, prosijaci I sinoci, that dramatizes their lives). They would go around house to house and harass people till they gave goods, mostly by using their Christian morals as leverage but also threatening with curses. These were people who took advantage of Jesus’ teachings. I can see why Vlad killed them off, and the people must have given a secret sigh of relief.

Am I the only one or would this be a great series

[SemperTrue]

Well done on the editing, you put a lot of work into this video. Can't wait for the 2nd part.

[kevinboros]

I can't believe you've done another Romanian video!!You just need to do Mircea cel Bătrân now and all the great Romanian voievodes will have been covered!Your channel and History Marche have really shed light on the rich Romanian history.

Edit: I have edited the comment to make my point more clear.

I’m a simple man I see Vlad the Impaler, I run away fearing for my life!

[edgelord]

Belmonts: how many times must I tell you old man?!

The most accurate and unbiased commentary on Vald. It is trendy and political correct to make Vald evil but he was a hero.

[SirAdrian]

This is probably the most accurate and well researched documentary on Vlad. It sure beats the hell out of a lot of expensive discovery channel documentaries.

[carron]

on thing is sure: as a bad vampire or reabilitated as the good guy Dracula will always sell. Some dudes are born to be popular

[deni]

Only guy that stood up to the turks at that time, he was a hero of Europe.

[Red_Lanterns_Rage]

Vlad's methods were extreme but he was more concerned with his country's safety & independence as well as punishing criminals and the corrupt, honestly the more I learn of him the more I respect him....

The golden cup is real, no one touched the cup because they were scared.

[birulusbirvatan]

Respect Romania from Turkey :)
Also, my ancestors are from Romanian and Moldovian Turkish

It’s amazing that this individual is known today primarily because of Bram Stoker’s tale. It is somewhat unsurprising in light of that, however, that what is remembered of him is his cruelty. Hearing and seeing your account of him here has at the very least given me more information to consider when evaluating a particular person and moment in history. The story about the trader and the ducat is on par with Solomon and the two women claiming to be the mother of a child! Very much looking forward to part II!
