Corpus Draculianum

This is the official channel of the international research project CORPUS DRACULIANUM, the main authority in the study of the life and times of the Wallachian voivode Vlad III the Impaler Drăculea (1431-1476). This channel provides exclusively scientific researched and referenced facts packaged in a format easy to absorb by the general public and history buffs: no vampires, no Balkan stereotypes, no commercial non-facts, only source-based history! We are professional historians from universities and scientific institutes in Germany and Romania. We spent more than a decade finding hundreds of medieval documents and chronicles on Vlad Drăculea in many archives and libraries. We are sharing our knowledge and the latest key findings, which help us look beyond the myths and legends of Drăculea. Our leading experts: Dr. Adrian Gheorghe (Turkologist, military historian, numismatist) Dr. Albert Weber (Romanian Principalities, Late Middle Ages)
