Our main goal is to provide a large international audience with referenced knowledge on Vlad the Impaler (1431-1476). All information in this episode is based on the in-depth research by the professional historians from the project CORPUS DRACULIANUM. Historical sources like medieval documents and chronicles from European archives and libraries are the only references for our interpretations. Our research is free from modern narratives and ideological agendas which are still dominating the discourses, historiography and overall the memorial culture on the famous Wallachian voivode.
