What happens when a man decides that the only way to rule is to make his enemies more afraid of him than they are of death itself? For Vlad III, better known as Vlad the Impaler, cruelty wasn't just a personality trait, it flowed through his veins.
In today's insane new video, we go inside the mind of the 15th-century ruler of Wallachia, a man forged by betrayal, the murder of his father, and the live burial of his older brother. From the "Forest of the Impaled" where 20,000 bodies stood as a psychological barrier to an invading army, to the infamous "Easter Feast" purge of the corrupt nobility, we explore how Vlad destroyed his enemies in the most painful way imaginable. Discover the dark logistics of his signature execution method and how he turned a rag-tag peasant army into a force that made the mighty Ottoman Empire retreat in horror.
