TITO VLAD III, o no todo fue renacimiento en el siglo XV

More than anything else the historical Dracula is known for his inhuman cruelty. Impalement was Vlad III’s preferred method of torture and execution.

un hombre de gustos refinados

Impalement was and is one of the most gruesome ways of dying imaginable, as it was typically slow and painful.

Vlad usually had a horse attached to each of the victim’s legs and a sharpened stake was gradually forced into the body. The end of the stake was usually oiled and care was taken that the stake not be too sharp, else the victim might die too rapidly from shock.

lo dicho un meticuloso.

Normally the stake was inserted into the body through the buttocks and was often forced through the body until it emerged from the mouth. However, there were many instances where victims were impaled through other body orifices or through the abdomen or chest.

además innovador, porque claro la monotonía es muy mala

Infants were sometimes impaled on the stake forced through their mother’s chests.

The records indicate that victims were sometimes impaled so that they hung upside down on the stake.
Vlad Tepes often had the stakes arranged in various geometric patterns.

para hacerlo ameno

The most common pattern was a ring of concentric circles in the outskirts of a city that was his target. The height of the spear indicated the rank of the victim.

lo de que existan clases hasta aquí es el colmo¡¡

The decaying corpses were often left up for months. It was once reported that an invading Turkish army turned back in fright when it encountered thousands of rotting corpses impaled on the banks of the Danube.

es que no existían las tarjetas de visita y para que se supiera que había pasado por la ciudad pues...

In 1461 Mohammed II, the conqueror of Constantinople, a man not noted for his squeamishness, returned to Constantinople after being sickened by the sight of twenty thousand impaled Turkish prisoners outside of the city of Tirgoviste. This gruesome sight is remembered in history as "the Forest of the Impaled."

Thousands were often impaled at a single time.

La produccion en serie no era cosa de Ford??

Ten thousand were impaled in the Transylvanian city of Sibiu in 1460.

In 1459, on St. Bartholomew’s Day, Vlad III had thirty thousand of the merchants and boyars of the Transylvanian city of Brasov impaled.

supongo que fue su gran obra, en las cenas luego debían contar historias del estilo "que bueno cuando empalamos a aquellos 30.000 turcos, te acuerdas como chillaban los cabrones....
Es que madre mía 30000 personas, es mucha gente¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ a cinco litros por persona hace unos 150.000 litros de sangre y a 70 kg por cada unos 2.100.000 kg de carne pudriéndose al aire libre.

One of the most famous woodcuts of the period shows Vlad Dracula feasting amongst a forest of stakes and their grisly burdens outside Brasov while a nearby executioner cuts apart other victims.


Although impalement was Vlad Dracula’s favorite method of torture, it was by no means his only method.

era además un hombre de recursos

The list of tortures employed by this cruel prince reads like an inventory of hell’s tools: nails in heads, cutting off of limbs, blinding, strangulation, burning, cutting off of noses and ears, mutilation of sexual organs (especially in the case of women), scalping, skinning, exposure to the elements or to wild animals, and burning alive.

No le gustaba encasillarse

No one was immune to Vlad’s attentions. His victims included women and children, peasants and great lords, ambassadors from foreign powers and merchants.

y además sin prejuicios, los mata a todos

However, the vast majority of his victims came from the merchants and boyars of Transylvania and his own Wallachia.
Many have attempted to justify Vlad Dracula’s actions on the basis of nascent nationalism

como siempre los nacionalistas dando por culo, panda de descebrados, cuando se daran cuenta que querer la tierra donde has nacido no es lo mismo que sentirse seguro dentro de una panda de imbéciles que como tu que creen que son un mismo ente, de cualidades estupendas, frente a los que son distintos o no quieren ser borregos como ellos.

and political necessity. Many of the merchants in Transylvania and Wallachia were German Saxons who were seen as parasites, preying upon Romanian natives of Wallachia. The wealthy land owning boyars exerted their own often capricious and unfaithful influence over the reigning princes. Vlad’s own father and older brother were murdered by unfaithful boyars. However, many of Vlad Dracula’s victims were also Wallachians, and few deny that he derived a perverted pleasure from his actions.

bueeeeeeno, que linces, que perspicacia.......

Throughout his reign Vlad continued to systematically eradicate the old boyar class of Wallachia. Apparently Vlad was determined that his own power be on a modern and thoroughly secure footing. In the place of the executed boyars Vlad promoted new men from among the free peasantry and middle class; men who would be loyal only to their prince.

Vlad Tepes’ atrocities against the people of Wallachia were usually attempts to enforce his own moral code upon his country.

por cierto su código moral era el del papa de Roma

He appears to have been particularly concerned with female chastity. Maidens who lost their virginity, adulterous wives and unchaste widows were all targets of Vlad’s cruelty. Such women often had their sexual organs cut out or their breasts cut off, and were often impaled through the vagina on red-hot stakes. One report tells of the execution of an unfaithful wife. Vlad had the woman’s breasts cut off, then she was skinned and impaled in a square in Tirgoviste with her skin lying on a nearby table.

hace falta ser animal

Vlad also insisted that his people be honest and hard working. Merchants who cheated their customers were likely to find themselves mounted on a stake beside common thieves.
