The central character, Count Dracula, is the most famous vampire in the history of literature. In creating the character, Stoker is said to have been inspired by Vlad III Dr¿culea. Eleanor of Schwarzenberg of Bohemia may also have served as inspiration for Stoker's novel, as she was seen as a vampire by the people. However, there is no evidence for this legend, nor are there any corresponding passages in Stoker's notes. A possible source of inspiration for Stoker could also have been the noblewoman Elisabeth Báthory, a convicted serial killer, known as the "Blood Countess". Gröls Classics - English Edition
