No, Dracula was a fictional character invented by Bram Stoker that had nothing to do with Vlad.

It was only later that someone speculated that Vlad could have been an inspiration, probably pulling this theory out of their ass.

They pulled their theory out of the fact that "Dracula" was literally an honorifc name given to Vlad during his lifetime.

Stoker's Dracula and the "real" Dracula had only a few things in common: their name, being from Eastern Europe, being part of the nobility, having a castle. But they did have those things in common.

Definitely pulled most of it out of their arse, Vlad was a good man who knew where he stood, unlike later corrupted versions of "dracula"
