Why were vampires born in Transylvania?

Transylvania, situated in Central Romania, is

surrounded by Carpathian Mountain Ranges which is noted for the

scenic beauty of its landscapes. This region also has a history of

dukes, fiefdoms and castles. But, Bram Stoker, the nineteenth

century Irish author, selected this Carpathian Mountain Ranges in

Transylvania as the background for his famous novel Dracula for

another reason. The fifteenth century noble lord Dracul who was a

member of the Order of Dragons who fought against Ottoman Turks

lived in a castle in Transylvania. In 1431, his son, Count Vlad,

the central character in Bram Stoker's novel, was born there as the

son of Dracul. Dracula in Romanian means, the son of Dracul. Of

course, a noble lord named Dracul and his son named Vlad having

ever lived in Transylvania has been questioned later.
