Vlad III The Impaler in Abstract Cubism 20170415
The expression "Dracula", which is now primarily known as the name of a vampire, was for centuries known as the sobriquet of a ruler of Wallachia, Vlad III. Diplomatic reports and popular stories referred to him as Dracula, Dracuglia, or Drakula already in the 15th century. He himself signed his two letters as "Dragulya" or "Drakulya" in the late 1470s. His name had its origin in the Romanian sobriquet of his father, Vlad Dracul ("Vlad the Dragon"), who received it after he became a member of the Order of the Dragon. Dracula is the Slavonic genitive form of Dracul, meaning "the son of Dracul (or the Dragon)". In modern Romanian, dracul means "the devil", which contributed to Vlad's bad reputation. -wikipedia
