Vlad
Surely this is Vlad III Dracula? "His Romanian surname Drăculea (transliterated as "Dracula" in foreign languages of the historical documents where his name is mentioned) is a diminutive derived from his father's title Dracul and means "Son of the Dragon"..." -- ALoan (Talk) 17:56, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Vlad III the Impaler
Vlad III the Impaler had three reigns (in 1448, 1456-1462, and 1476). He was obviously cruel and ruthless but also "Vlad's fierce insistence on honesty is a central part of the oral tradition". He provided the inspiration for Dracula who is second only to Sherlock Holmes in terms of number of films to feature him.
