I would have been more than proud to have served in Vlad&#039;s army and assisted him in cleansing the country of parasitic Saxons, Turks and traitorous Boyars.Was Vlad a brutal warlord? Yes. But what Vlad knew of torture and brutality he learned from the Turks while imprisoned and simply fought fire with fire. And impalement was a favored execution method of the Turks because of the terror it instilled in the enemy.And one must remember that a great many of the tales of Vlad&#039;s brutality against the people are concoctions of the German press and should be considered no more valid than the tabloid press of today. It is doubtful that tales such as the &#039;lazy housewife&#039; ever actually took place. Unless you believe that Bill Clinton groped a female extraterrestrial ambassador from planet X then you should take the German oral traditions with a grain of salt.It was also Vlad&#039;s view that the nobles had a sacred duty to serve their monarch, protect their lands and their people with their lives if necessary. This was the origin of something akin to a constitutional monarchy. A rather advanced concept in the age of absolute monarchy.They never mention that what the sultan wanted in annual tribute was a massive amount of gold and silver and a thousand young boys. Some of the boys would be used as sex objects for the degenerate Muslim nobles but most would be inducted into the Janissary corps, converted to Islam and serve the Sultan for life as warriors.Another thing the uninformed tend to forget is that without the resistance of the warrior princes and kings like Vlad in the east Europe would be a Muslim shithole today. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What would I have done?

He was never able to impale so many people... because he had not enaugh people (soldiers) for doing that!Official evidence there was in his reign three impalements.
About the cruelty of King Matthias Corvinus today no one speaks anymore: he had the soldiers he could no longer pay after the war drowned  all!
This same Matthew was jealous of the fame of the Prince Vlad, who was revered for its diplomatic and military skills against the Ottoman Empire in Europe ... and would have been appointed as elector!

I mean look at the picture. So while Radu becomes Sultan&#039;s boyfriend, Vlad gets it in the back over and over again by the guards, day after day.
Then things turn around, and he is in position to decide the fate of some enemy turks. What does he do? Shows mercy unheard of for that times and sets them free? Beheads them? Impales them?
