[@JenovaProject] Taking a look at his time, he wasn't even that brutal. Most stories about his brutality are just stories. For example, there's no proof for the story that he dipped his bread in his victims' blood, and we don't know how many people he impaled. He probably just did the things that he thought were necessary to protect his people from the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, who wanted to take over Wallachia and who wasn't much better, concerning his brutality.
