Tepes was another title given to him (though probably never mentioned to his face) which means: “the Impaler.”
Vlad Tepes ruthlessly cleaned out the thieves and bandits of his territory to such an extent that according to legend, he was able to leave a golden cup outdoors in the center of his capital of Targoviste and none would dare steal it.
