Dracula was invented by 'Bram Stoker' who was from Dublin, Ireland. A place not far from my home called 'FairView', his house was originailly over-looking Dublin bay, but the land there has since been reclaimed. Regards Ray "Je Suis Mort De Rire"

But the idea was based on 'Vlad the Impaler' wasn't it? Paresh Solanki Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday.

There's a program on C5 (UK) about the worlds most evil people, and I think Vlad is on it next week. The article also mentioned Bram Stoker, so I thought they were related. Paresh Solanki Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday.

That is correct, Dracula was based on Vlad Tepes. I think Vlad is an Rumanian nobility title, while Tepes is Hungarian meaning 'impaler'. Curiously, Vlad Tepes father was called Vlad Dracul due to his cruelty. That seem to have been a common trait among rulers of that region... /moliate

It´s the guy responsible for not let Dracula´s coffin fall in the wrong hands (Dracula 2000). In Bram Stroker´s book he is one of the guys who capture the vampire. Mauricio Ritter - Brazil Sonorking now: 100.13560 Trank My latest article: Pentominos - A C# implementation of the famous Puzzle Game
