Vlad Tepes Prince of Wallachia (1431-1476)
AKA Vlad the Impaler

The beginning of the Dracula thing as Brom Storker Dracula could have come from the "Accounts of the Principalities of Walachia and Moldavia" written by William Wilkinson

Near the Transylvaian border north of Curtea-de-arges is Castle Dracula, build by slaves under the rule of Tepes would dine while his enemies were impaled on wooden stakes. Though he is thought of as the basis of brom strokes dracula there are others that drank or did eat their fellow humans

Don't forget his lady friend Elizabeth Bathory who killed almost 700 young women to bathe in and drink their blood. (which is where the idea that whenever Dracula drank blood he'd feel younger came from)
