 * Early life**

so Vlad III and his younger brother Radu cel Frumos where under the control of the ottoman Sultan. during his captivity with the Sultan he was actually treated pretty fairly he was tutored in things such as science, arts, philosophy, he was taught in the art of war as well; he was taught things as horse back, swordsmanship, archery, and battle strategy. the one thing that the Sultan taught Vlad without even really realizing it was how to manipulate his enemies, to use them as pons in a bigger scheme that he will set up. while in captivity Vlad may have been treated well but his anger and rage was bubbling over time he was still angry at not only his father but also the Sultan and his brother with more and ore years going into their captivity his brother was actually liking the Turkish way and not long into their teachings he would than turn into a solider for the Turkish army. this was a betrayal that was seen from the view of Vlad which made his anger and aggression even more which would make his thoughts of getting back to his rightful place as the prince and next in line for the thrown of Walechia.

His bloody reign
Vlad was not known for his governmental or political aspects of being ruler. He was known for his gruesome way of killing, torturing, and interrogating people. his famous for the very way torturing and killing and a way to scare all of his enemies he would put them on stakes or impale them, he would have a sharp log like stick and have them slide down the very dull side of the stick having them go through a gruesome death and after he would place them outside of his country so incoming countries would see this and they would be scared and turn back. Another way he was known for putting a solid gold cup in the middle of the village near his castle. Not one of his subjects touched the cup in the fear that they too will be submitted to the same torturing that he has put so many men and women. Vlad did not care who you were gender didn't matter if he felt that you needed to be tortured or killed it would happen.
