Vlad's reputation as "The Impaler" stems from his preferred method of execution: impalement. While historical records confirm that Vlad used this method extensively, the exact numbers are difficult to verify. One of the most infamous incidents occurred during his conflict with the Ottomans. In 1462, Vlad lured Ottoman forces into Wallachia and ambushed them. It is said that he impaled thousands of captured soldiers and civilians, creating a "forest" of stakes outside his capital city, Târgoviște. This act was not merely a display of cruelty but a strategic move to instill fear in his enemies and deter further invasions. The sheer scale of the impalements was intended to send a clear message about the consequences of defiance.
