  • I'm an artist that brings history back to life by creating famous figures from the past in the modern day, as well as creating facial reconstructions and recreations. Vlad the Impaler is one of the most legendary figures from Eastern European history. He fought the Hungarians and the Ottomans, but was famously brutal to those he punished. Let's bring Vlad to life, not only as a modern day man, but to relive his mysterious history as well.

He stands about 6'4" with blonde straight hair, blue eyes, and a nose very similar to that shown in your re-creation. He fortunately has no trouble traveling by daylight, and has not impaled anyone that I know of.

    I'm romanian and I have to tell you that you did an amazing job. I have to mention, though, that back then there were different times and you have no idea how cruel the ottomans were against christians and what they did in the balkans. So he had to do something on a higher level of cruelty in order to scare them away. And also, every tough leader controlled the noble class by fear or else, they would've betrayed the leader for their own sake. The nobles were pretty cruel to the peasants and slavery was in its prime time. It was a mess, there were very tough times, but it's our history and we were surrounded only by enemies everywhere.

      I am from the balkan and this is absolutely not true. i will prove it to you by one simple evidence. the existence of christian, pagan and jewish population till this day. unlike the romans who were cruel to pagans, jews and muslims, the ottomans never converted a population by force or tortured them. if it was so how you and your people like to believe because your churches like to demonstrate the ottomans as evil as themseles were, there wouldnt be a single christian left. even in turkiye before the forced resettlement 1921(!!!!) turkiyes population was about 40% christian, amongs them were about a million(some sources said more) turkish (!) christians themselves lol. name a christian country that had that much muslim or jewish population? also slavery was always existend, even in the roman empire and in the ones before, a whole ethnicity was named after slavery- the slavs. and last time i checked it wasnt the ottomans doing that. your people love to twist things just to potray the other side as evil. also how on earth can a folk that is accusingly tortured and enslaved had a healthy cultural sharing on food national clothing and embroidery and music? the slavery amongst christians were more brutal. whereas slavery was promoted in the bible, the quran recognizes slavery as a source of injustice, as it places the freeing of slaves on the same level as feeding a poor person. On the other hand, the abolition of slavery with a unilateral decision may result in detriment to Islamic societies. Because while non-muslim societies are constantly enslaving muslim captives after the war, not giving this opportunity to islamic societies and freeing the captives will result in its weakening. nontheless freeing the enslaved army of the enemies was a practise and people had the freedom to speak their own language practise their own religions. which the romans never ever enabled the regions they colonized.

    To many, Vlad was a great hero. The nobility did whatever they wanted to the poor...until Vlad the second came to the throne. The nobility was also responsible for the short reigns and early deaths of many of their rulers...so getting them under control was doubtless a matter of personal safety as well. And then there were his stunning victories against the Ottoman empire. Quite a guy.

    Vlad was very much loved by the peasants-the poor class and hated by the noble class. He found a way to clean his Valahia of thieves and criminals. He managed to keep the nobles at a distance not letting them oppress the poor. Vlad was a righteous man not a tyrant as the modern world depict him. He brought justice to his people and made his kingdom safe. It is said that if one would leave a bag with gold money in the middle of the road nobody would pick it up. The Ottomans posed a constant threat to his kingdom so Vlad had to do something, and chose cruel methods to threaten them too to stop their invasion. Knowing how cruel the Ottomans were, Vlad had to find equally cruel methods, if not even worse. So he sent his "message" to them. Those were times of war of hundreds of years. Thank you for your video. I enjoyed it. I like how modern Vlad looks, a vey handsome man.

    I have to agree with one of the commenters below that putting historic people into our modern context doesn't serve the history. He may seem very sadistic by standards of modern times, but like you said as well that in Romania, he is seen as a hero because he was only doing what he had to do. Many other people that we consider modern heroes have blood trailing behind their shadow. Even modern people that we consider brave or heroic have blood on their hands or, at the very least, evil in their hearts.
    On the note of your recreation though: STUNNING doesn't even seem to capture it properly. Those incredible eyes and the smirk... breathtaking.

He pretty much used that to keep good people safe, and bad people afraid. And if you know the saying "stuck between a rock and a hard place", this was Romania throughout the history, being invaded and enslaved over and over and over by different powers. This is why Vlad Dracul or Vlad Tepes (there's no Vlad Dracula, Dracula is the name of the book. "Drac" meant dragon, the "ul" at the end means "the" , Dracul= The Dragon. But nowadays "drac" is used for "devil"), is considered a hero by Romanians.

    In the mid-1970s there was a book titled: "Dracula: A Biography of Vlad the Impaler." I was lucky to have been given a pre-publication copy of it. One of the authors was actually a descendent of Vlad III. It was very detailed about the history. Strangely, I remember a lot about that book.
    When you discussed how Vlad and his brother were given to the Sultan this book went into more detail. It said that Vlad's brother was quite handsome and became the courtesan of the Sultan. This went on for a number of years while Vlad was trained mainly in military affairs. This, obviously was a major mistake because Vlad used it against the Ottomans later. There is a story that when Vlad controlled his homeland the Ottomans camped nearby. While they were sleeping Vlad took 100 of his best men into the encampment and slit the throats of 10,000 of the enemy.
    The book also discussed how he ruled his homeland. He was judge, jury and executioner.

      The problem with calling him a hero was the fact that he impaled children. When he took out a noble family, he would threat every member of that family equally. Now, we do not fully know what is true and what is not, so we do not know if he tortured children by skinning them alive if he did so with the parents, but if he did I cannot call that a hero, so I choose yo er on the side of caution and not talk him up a storm.

    I like your recreation. He has strong features and looks like a person whose character would also be strong and unbending. Very Southern European face. Considering the story of his life, countless betrayals, being a hostage in a foreign land and endless wars, he evolved into what we would call today "a survivor". Vlad was a man of his time - all of the atrocities that he committed (which historians greatly exaggerated over the centuries), were, unfortunately, normal practices for punishments in the region that hasn't known peace for centuries. Surrounded by enemies, every noble had a private army to defend his lands and his people. As for Vlad's psychological warfare (impaling great numbers of captives), although not unusual of the time and place, it appears to be a desperate move to keep the Turks out. It also has to be said, that some of the torture methods he borrowed from the Turks (and the East) and then used against them.

    • @belosevickris3379
      @belosevickris3379 Рік тому +8

      Exactly. Vlad didn't invent these torture methods, he probably witnessed them as a child in his captivity with the Sultan. Ottomans were perversely cruel and all he knew about torturing people he probably learned from them. He impaled people likely running them through and killing them instantly then leaving them out to scare the enemy away. Ottomans had expert impalers on their pay. They knew how to impale people without killing them outright, not damaging anything too vital so that they would live as long as possible, being impaled and in torturous agony. Christ was crucified but this was worse. My thinking is that Vlad was vilified but was no worse than any leader at the time and better than his enemies. He was torn in their side so they left horrible testimonies about him... but he just gave them tit for tat

    Ya, Vlad learned his skills in terror and torture from the Ottomans. Modern people have trouble understanding the ancient practice of "hostages" which was part of diplomatic practices much further into modern times than anyone would like to think. Often a leader's children (mostly sons) were part of a bargain between peoples who didn't really trust each other kind of as a bargaining chip. This doesn't mean "prisoners" as the word "hostage" means today. As long as their father was doing what was agreed to, they were often raised with the elite of the people they were "hostage" to and taught all of the skills any other elite child was taught. They were "hostages" in the sense that they couldn't leave to do whatever they wanted. The Ottomans may have looked at these boys as puppets they could put on the throne of their area once their father was killed who would look favorably on the Ottomans and do what they said. But they miscalculated with Vlad III. Vlad took what they had taught him and turned it on them.

I am also kind of blowing up the excuse used today that he was badly treated. There is no evidence that he was more poorly treated than say Mehmed the Conqueror when he was growing up. They may have even known each other in the Ottoman court.

      They grew up together, so yes they knew each other. Perhaps there was even a personal enmity between them?

      Not true. Vlad's enemies from a rival family and nobility, along with Saxon merchants in Transylvania, were the first who started to impale Vlad's men. Vlad was very angry and organised a penalty expedition. He turned their own weapons against the enemies. At that time, no one abroad had criticized it yet, it was a standard solution. Only later he used it as a psychological weapon against the Ottomans.

    Awesome! You always do such an amazing job! ❤️ he’s better looking than Gary Oldman (sorry, no offense to a great actor) but not as good looking as Luke Evans. Now I have to search and see who could play Vlad if they ever make another movie about him. Fascinating guy (I was born in Romania BTW and you are totally right - to us, he was a great king, not a monster).

    2:49 that's not Vlad's brother (Radu the Handsome), but rather Vlad's cousin Stephen the Great... which was quite handsome too, but rather short

    Superb work! I can see him as a young man in the court of the last Byzantine emperor, Constantine XI Dragases - again, absolutely superb!

    Incredible, near perfection, BUT his eyebrows are a little too groomed & thin. I believe just a slight thickening & bushing would give your version that touch of realism. I'm sure you tire of endless little criticisms about tweaks to features that really could go either way. You're not only a master of your art, you invented it! 🔥❤🔥
