Vlad managed to reclaim his throne for the 3rd time, just before dying a few months later. Even his death is steeped more in legend than truth, but the stories do not end there! His legend was already beginning to spread across Europe. And we all know what happens when a particular Irish author gets a hold of the legend.

"A stake through the heart is the only way to kill a vampire!" "A stake through the heart would kill anyone!"
-
Rob didn’t know people shipped historical figures? Thank god he missed the Hamilton phase
-
As a Romanian, I've never heard of any Romanian debating whether we should be proud of him or not, it's already widely accepted that we should.
-
Vlad: "Are we a bad person?" Alucard: "Well, let's start off with the 20,000 people we impaled." Vlad: "We were pretty mad at dad that day."
-
"If it bleeds, it leads." The more things change, the more they stay the same.
-
It's quite the poetic justice that Vlad Dracula's mythical weakness is a stake. Excellent series, and I have to give kudos to the artist(s) for the DBZ reference @7:19.
-
most ethno-nationalism: we need to wash some of the blood off this historical figure. romania: BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!! DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?!
-
To be fair, Sir Christopher Lee is enough of a badass to pull off the roll, even if the character had the original name
-
Vlad III Dracula had no children, but his brother, Radu, did. In fact, one of Radu's living descendants is Queen Elizabeth II. Prince Charles, who is known for his love of dry humor, once appeared in a documentary on Vlad III and said, "Since I'm a member of this family, you could say I have a stake in all of this."
-
Copied the description of romania from a travel guide, description of Dracula doesn't resemble the source material, co-opted vampire stories from elsewhere and integrated them into his story? Bram Stoker would have loved the Internet.
-
This was the best series since Teddy Roosevelt and trust busting.
-
I'd love to see an Extra History series on Ivan the Terrible. I'm not making a request, I'm just saying I'd love to see it
-
"And he immediately lost without any notable final battle record" My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
-
i absolutely love the series on vlad, i find history of Romania to be fascinating, people like Vlad, or Mihai are great characters in Romania and its culture
-
the Original story's will always sound better.
-
"Rob didn't know people shipped historical figures." Well, He must've stumbled upon the Fate franchise then. Anyway, good series, really shed some light on the end of Vlad.
-
1:15 "less than 7 years in total" shows "more than 7 years"
-
“Believe in the you that believes in me” Is that a gurren Lagan reference?
-
This is basically a backstory on how Castlevania came to be.
-
At 7:33 he says "indendence" which is way funnier than independence
