The fictional (made-up) character of Dracula is inspired from bloodthirsty ruler Vlad ÈepeÈ that lived in Romania, Eastern Europe, between 1431 and 1476. His name was originally Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia and Transylvania-middle and southern parts of Romania.he original Vlad Dracula was not a Count, nor was he a vampire.

The mannerisms of Dracula are thought to have come from a man called Henry Irving, a stage actor in the Victorian era at a theater where Stoker worked.
