A guy named Vlad

A Wallachian prince named Vlad III captured the attention of the world in the mid to late 15th century for his anti-Ottoman antics. The Turks had recently taken Constantinople which was a really big deal and caused extreme distress in the European community due to their fear of heretical Muslims (lots has changed, huh?). The Turks began invading Eastern Europe and one of the feudal lords standing in their way was this guy named Vlad. While Vlad was quite successful at harassing the Ottoman army he really wasn't that great of a guy. His nicknames include Vlad the Impaler and Vlad "Bella Lugosi" Dracula. Yup, this Romanian prince gave his name to the infamous bloodsucker.

While Eddie sparkles in the sun, his grandfather's busy routing Turks, saving Christendom, and murdering his own people. 

Now, while you might think that whole "Impaler" deal has to do with the family kebab business, in fact, Vlad really got off on killing people. Lots and lots of people. Usually his own. With sticks.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say anyone who takes a town of thousands, impales them all, and eats breakfast while watching, which he did, is usually not a quality human being.

Ok, here's the story: Vlad came to power when crime was rampant. So he put in his own form of criminal justice. No pansy ass three strikes law or any BS like that, if you did something wrong, you died. And if you didn't do something wrong but you still looked weird, you probably died too. To test his subjects, Vlad had a a huge amount of gold put in the middle of a town's marketplace. We're talking thousands of times the amount of money an average person could expect to earn in a lifetime. Even just one gold coin for a peasant was an unbelievable treasure, yet this gold stood untouched for days in the middle of the city, because everyone knew if something happened to it, the entire city would be put to death.

If the amount of pedophile goes up with the grossness of the moustache, then this guy should think about joining the clergy.
