Reply to comment by ElleEast in An Investigation into Vlad Tepes by MiguelPolimatus

Vlad "the Impaler's" father was called Vlad Dracul. "Dracul" means dragon in Romanian. He was a member of the knightly "Order of the Dragon," and his family was known as the "House of Draculesti."

Vlad "Tepes" was known as Vlad Dracula - "Dracula" means "son of Dracul."

I'm aware of that, what I'm saying is that there's not mention in the novel that Dracula is Vlad, likely Stoker just read a book on Transilvania and got the name from there
