A tyrant of cruelty or a hero who defended his country? Mid-15th century. The Ottoman Empire dominates Europe to the south and Hungary to the west. In Wallachia (now Southern Romania), a small country sandwiched between these two powerful states, a young prince is crowned. His name is Vlad III. Domestic politics is dominated by the nobility, while foreign policy is influenced by the situation of the great powers, Vlad demonstrates his talents in order to protect his native Wallachia. Vlad III, nicknamed "Lord Skewer", was the model for Bram Stoker's novel Dracula.
