Vlad III Dracula, also known as Vlad III the Impaler, was a Voievod of Wallachia, ruling between 1456 - 1462.
He was notorious for impaling political enemies and prisoners, an effective (and seemingly successful) method of execution.
In 1511, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze went on a quest to find his sword hidden in his prison in Constantinople, which was rumored to be a weapon that could defeat any foe.
