Email Frank at: Empiresofhistorypodcast@gmail.com This "Extra" has been a long time in coming. Frank dives into the world of the real historical Vlad Dracula III and his war with the Ottomans, and pretty much all his neighbors. The Balkans of the mid-15th century were a dangerous place and time be alive. A ruthless period in history which produced equally ruthless men. The story of Vlad Dracula is a tale not for the faint of heart. In this Part 1, Frank explores the vampire myth, it's connection with the historical "Dracula" Bram Stoker, and more importantly, the "Order of the Dragon" that old Catholic military order equally as sordid as the life of Dracula.
