Episode #10
Vlad The Impaler pt. 2 - Forest of the Impaled
We wrap up this 2 part series starting with the counter attack that followed the end of part 1. Sultan Mehmed II stormed across the Danube to exact his revenge on Vlad for the ballsy winter attack. This man had been through TONS of combat and conquest but NOTHING he had seen would prepare him for what he was about to see… Mile after mile of dead, impaled Ottoman soldiers. Up to 20,000 men on spikes. As far as the eye could see. We’ll also learn the fate of Vlad after some hard times he went through during his reign; remember, Wallachian politics are full of backstabbing and shady dealings. What happens to a man who ruled through sheer force of will and violence? Turns out some really bad things! Then to wrap the whole thing up we have to talk about this Irish author that wrote a book that nobody has ever heard of and the pop culture force that borrowed NOTHING but the name of Dracula would become.
