It's ridiculous that they have Vlad Tepes, who is a hero to Romanians, as the most evil person of all time.

The Pope at the time had words of praise for him for resisting the Muslim invaders, there was great fear in Christendom that the Ottomans (who were very powerful at that time) would overrun Europe (they almost did).

Vlad was actually just defending his people from a cruel foreign invader. His body was badly scarred from horrific beatings the Ottomans put on him when he was a boy. He did try to scare the Turks by impaling captured Turks along the road into the Romanian states, but under the circumstances it was hardly an evil act.

The fictional Dracula created hundreds of years later in the 19th century is nothing like Vlad Tepes.
