Horribly sad. I am very sorry. Much LOVE.

Vlad never owned Bran. His main fortress were Peonari and in targoviste. He may have stayed there when Peonari was being fortified, others believe it was before his third ascent to the throne after he was released, right before his assassination. Most of the stories about him drinking blood, etc came from saxon and boyar propaganda of the times - which still lives today and sold many books. But it makes for good tourism . So fictional dracula that turns into a bat - Bram Stoker yes it is thought he picked this castle out of a book in a library (as he had never been), but not the real Vlad. I did enjoy as I do all your videos, and thank you for showing the beauty of the country that runs through 'my veins' :)

All of the elite are blood drinkers. The ‘blue bloods/royals/aristocrats are satanists that drink blood. That’s what it means to be ‘of the bloodline’. The bloodline of Cain(king). They drink blood for the adren-o-chrome.😉 Most of them do it in secret rituals, Vlad just happened to be open about it.

Beautiful video, thanks - but just a correction - Vlad Tepes ("Dracul") never owned Transylvania. He was the ruler of Walachia (which is the southern part of modern day Romania). He did spend some time in Transylvania and was born there, but that's it. I also wonder why he is associated with Transylvania instead of Walachia. So weird haha

Thank you for posting this information clarifying that this was not Vlad Dracula’s castle. I lived in Romania as a child in 1975, 1977 and 1982. We visited the castle ruins of Vlad Dracul where you have to climb something like a thousand steps to reach. It was thrilling! We lived in București and Cluj Napoca and stayed in villages all over the country while my father researched the folk legends. I love Romania!

No he was not a Vampire but one mean ass SOB for sure. If he were a Vampire how could he live in a castle with Crucifixes about the place ? No he was a Warlord but he sure lived the life of a very wealthy one & no one dared move against him unless they wished to meet the fate he was so well know to give. What a fascinating castle & it's funny i have a friend that lives in Romania & has all his life but he's never been to the castle . Folks in Romania view it as more a tourist place but they still must have a healthy respect for it. I don't envy the folks that have the job of maintaining this place & i sure would love to see it in person but this was a cool look at what it does look like these days. I found it sort of funny they didn't spend much time down where the Torture Chamber was. Can't much blame them.
