Vlad the Impaler: A Life from Beginning to End , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 57min
The character of Count Dracula is well-known throughout the world. He is a dark, seductive, pale man wearing a cape. His gaze is quite literally captivating, and he has the strength of ten men. The story, written by Bram Stoker in 1897, has been retold hundreds of times, but is there a historical figure upon whom the character is based? Is there really a Dracula? Many scholars argue that Vlad III Dracula, also known as Vlad the Impaler, is the real Dracula. He was known in Western Europe for his cruelty, most especially his penchant for impaling his victims. He is said to have killed somewhere between 40,000 and 100,000 people during his crusade to stop the Ottoman Empire from expanding into Eastern Europe. He was equally harsh on the people he ruled and is said to have taken great pleasure in torturing his victims. Inside you will read about: Vlad’s early life and family Rise to power: Vlad’s first reign War with the Ottomans: Vlad’s main reign Vlad’s imprisonment, third reign, and death Vlad Dracula’s legacy Vlad the Impaler in fiction: Count Dracula His story, however, is much more complicated than the oft-reported details of his atrocities would imply. He lived in a time of conflict where many were equally as cruel, and he is viewed as a hero in Romania where he is remembered as a protector of his people. This audiobook tells the story of his life and times and discusses his connection to the fictional Count Dracula in a succinct, compelling manner, which makes for an entertaining listen packed with historical information. ungekürzt.

Legends of the Middle Ages: The Life and Legacy of Vlad the Impaler , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 87min
Includes historical accounts that describe Vlad the Impaler and his notorious rule. Discusses the authenticity of the accounts accusing Vlad of impaling tens of thousands and his other infamous misdeeds. Analyzes Vlad's legacy and his association with Bram Stoker's Dracula. "And then he put many people on spinning wheels and killed them. And he also did many such other inhuman cruelties that were talked about in many countries." - A German legend about Vlad Dracula A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' Legends of the Middle Ages series, listeners can get caught up to speed on the lives of important medieval men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. Many medieval figures are shrouded in mystery due to the scarcity of available sources and to the difficulties posed by the interpretation of historical narratives dating from this period. And even when there is enough documented evidence to put together a sufficiently coherent biographical account, other sources and accounts may emerge that flagrantly contradict the already established and generally accepted historical narrative. Nowhere is this more evident than in the legacy of Vlad III Dracula, who history has recorded as one of the most notorious and bloodthirsty tyrants of the 15th century. In addition to lending the name Dracula to Bram Stoker's famous vampire, Vlad is known around the world by the cognomen Vlad the Impaler, due to his reputation for impaling thousands of his enemies. Vlad was reputed to be such a tyrant that his reputation and stories of his deeds spread across Germany and the rest of Europe during his lifetime. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter L.

The Impaler , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 4min
During the reign of King Drac Von Stoller, in the 14th century, war erupted between the Dracs and the Berclays. As the Dracs and the Berclays fought, both kings knew that one of them would ultimately die in the end. The Dracs were barbaric men who would rob, torture, and then finalize things by impaling every living thing in a village. Drac's men would roast the village people alive while they were impaled. Then, after the bodies were roasted to Drac Von Stoller's liking, it was time for a feast. Drac's men would cut pieces off the roasted bodies and eat and drink wine as Drac Von Stoller cut out the hearts of his victims and squeezed every last drop of blood into his mouth from their hearts. How long can this blood thirsty King carry on impaling before he gets overthrown? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rich Crankshaw.
