Romanians are not Gypsies!

Only uneducated people think that. First of all Vampires don't exist, secondly Count Dracula was Hungarian, Szekler to be specific. In the book he wrote that he is a proud descendant from Attila.

Vampires don't exist but Dracula was Hungarian? what does the word "dracul" mean is hungarian?

He was reffering to the character in Bram Stoker's novel. And from that point of view, he is right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_...r.27s_creation

Nope. You can say of a certain character that he/she has a certain ethnicity, especially where the said ethnicity counts in the narrative. To give a random example, the main character of Liviu Rebreanu's 'Pădurea Spânzuraților' is Romanian, and his ethnicity is central to the plot.

I love this thread so much. I'm gonna add in that the true thieves in Italy are the Albanians, as informed by my Italian friends.

Ofcourse vampires don't exist lol, I was referring on Bram Stoker novel and how Vampire mythology was spreaded.

And Vlad the Impaler (from order of Dracul-Dragon, Dracul can mean either dragon or satan on romanian if I'm not mistaken, I dont speak Romanian but remember all this) was noble-man from Wallachia, aka; Romanian.

Vlad's father was murdered and his brother MIRCEA (this sounds to you as hungarian name? or name of his younger brother - RADU?) after Hungarian governor Hunyadi invaded Wallachia.

Bram Stoker based his fictional vampire character Dracula on Vlad the Impaler, ergo; on Romanian Knight Vlad, only he placed him in Transylvania.

Also in novel, Bram Stoker writes as character J.Harker; "when we left Budapest and went for Transylvania, I had feeling we are leaving western Europe".

Also troughout novel Dracula speaks on Romanian, so even Bram Stoker considered his fictional character as Romanian, and about true Dracula; Vlad the Impaler, there is not doubt he was Romanian.

P.S. Vlad the Impaler (Dracula) went on attack in alliance with Ottomans on his own cousin Vladislav II because Hungarians placed Vladislav II (Hunyadi placed him) as governor of Wallachia.

Later Vlad will turn against Ottomans ofcourse.

The fictional character clearly described his own origins in the book.
