2. What words/adjectives reveal Dracula's physical appearance?
He was not very tall, but very stocky and strong, with a cruel and terrible appearance, a long straight nose, distended nostrils, a thin and reddish face in which the large wide-open green eyes were enframed by bushy black eyebrows, which made them appear threatening. His face and chin were shaven but for a moustache. The swollen temples increased the bulk of his head. A bull's neck supported the head, from which black curly locks were falling to his wide-shouldered person.

8. Count Vladimir III (Vlad Ţepeş ['tsepeʃ] in Romanian, also known as Vlad Dracula) was born in November or December, 1431 and died in December He was Prince (voievod) of Wallachia. Wallachia used to be a state which is now part of Romania.
Vlad is best known for the legends of the very cruel punishments he gave. These punishments may have given ideas for the vampire main character in Bram Stoker's popular Dracula novel.
His Romanian surname, Drăculea, comes from his father's name, Dracul. The word "dracul" means "the Devil" in Romanian. The Latin word Draco means "dracul" and "dragon" as well. He also got the name Ţepeş, which means "Impaler". He was called this because of the way that he would kill his enemies, impalement. He had an older brother Mircea and a younger brother Radu, the Handsome.
Vlad's father was under considerable political pressure from the (turkish) Ottoman sultan. He gave a promise to be the vassal of the Sultan and gave up his two younger sons as hostages to prove that he would keep his promise. Vlad suffered much at the hands of the Ottoman, and was locked up in an underground prison. These years had a great influence on Vlad. They shaped Vlad's character. He was often whipped by the turks for being stubborn and rude. He developed a well-known hatred for Mehmed, who later became sultan.
In 1456, Vlad became Prince of Wallachia. Soon, he was at war against the Turks and showed great cruelty. He lost the battle against Mehmed's army in 1462, and escaped to Hungary, where he was imprisoned. He was set free in 1474.
There are several variants of Vlad III the Impaler's death. Some sources say he was killed in battle against the Turks near Bucharest in December of Others say he was accidentally killed by one of his own men. Vlad's body was decapitated by the Turks and his head was sent to Istanbul preserved in honey. The sultan had it displayed on a stake as proof that Vlad Tepes was dead.
