Vlad Țepeș
Vlad Țepeș, also known as Vlad the Impaler, was a 15th-century ruler of Wallachia, famous for his brutal methods of maintaining order and deterring invaders, particularly the Ottoman Empire. He is often associated with the Dracula legend, due to his reputation for cruelty and his historical ties to the region of Transylvania. The Poienari Fortress served as a secondary residence and stronghold against Ottoman forces, and is closely linked to his legacy.
