Vlad the Impaler

 

Summary

This article briefly explains Vlad's life, family, and horror he had on many.  It tells about what happened to his father to cause him to gain control of the throne. When he took over he killed more than twenty-three thousand people.

Fallacies

Response

I think it is gross that he would want to kill people and feel pleasure.  One of the ways he killed people was by setting them on a pole and letting them slowly slide down the pole so that the pole would go through their body.

Good Source?

It was a good source because it gave a lot of back ground information about him and his family.  I would recommend this cite to people who would like to know a lot about him because it gives you a lot of information.
