    Yes, perhaps, but nonethelss, the mystery of Dracula remians as one of the most intriguing in the slavic-balkna regions.

    Even look at his name, which is a derivation form a Romaian word meaning devil or dragon. I think his father joined the Order of the Dragon, a chrisitan brotherhood.

    But he really must have been normal, perhaps slightlymore emotional; than others and this led pople to think of him as dracula. History is likely to be subjet to all sorts of distortions, when it is up to people of differet views to present it. And he must have risen fear within people that they portaryed him in such a gory way.

    Nonethelss, his legend still lives and is popular, just look at the movies there were created. And the books?
