One was Pirro [1] and the other Martín Miguel Juan de Güemes Goyechea Mata, one of the three greatest heroes of Argentina, with a lot of gauchos kept at bay the most powerful royalist armies while San Martin and O'Higgins They crossed the Andes to liberate Chile and Peru.</p>\n<p>The most hated, to turn it into a sinister character, must have been Vlad IV, from Transylvania, nicknamed \"Dracul\" \"Valacul\" and \"The Impaler\" was a despicable and bloodthirsty being, but for the famous writer, not it would be known in other places that it was not his remote mountains of the Carpathians, where he lived.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>He was a nobleman born in Wallachia, in southern Romania, who sat on the throne at age 18, and who enjoyed systematically and ruthlessly torturing both his own who were terrified, and foreigners.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>His crimes were counted by tens of thousands and made him known as Dracula (or the son of the devil), but then go down in history as Vlad IV The Impaler, for his usual practice of subjecting his enemies to the torture of impalement.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>He was a disturbed man of great imagination who, given his sadistic instincts, rehearsed in his victims a thousand and one ways of torturing and killing. He practiced the impalement of young men and women as if they were a chicken or a pig to which he roasted alive as if it were a spiedo. They say that he lost no opportunity to reserve the most tender and succulent parts of the bodies of his victims. To the men, before impaling them, it made them crush the testicles with a mass.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>In the town of Schylta ordered to kill 25,000 people, and in a nearby city, impaled 30,000. As examples of his macabre experiments he once boiled alive a gypsy accused of a thief, and forced his family to eat it.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>A concubine, who told her about her pregnancy, ordered that her belly be opened to see if it was true.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>While in jail he bribed his guardians to provide him with mice and other animals, with which he distracted himself by impaling them.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>His own subjects were those who denounced his bloodthirsty practices before King Matthias of Hungary, who locked him up for 12 years to see if he calmed down in his bloody frenzy.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>He did not show any regrets coming out in 1474 and wanting to fight, as he embarked on new wars until, in a battle with the Turks, the Ottomans severely cut off his head when he was just 45 years old.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"f3lb56dlx","appParentAuthor":"jewel00789","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
