WHY DID VLAD USE IMPALEMENT THROUGH THE RECTUM?

by Aaron Kahland

Vlad the Impaler was, like other children of nobility, taken hostage by the Ottoman Sultan. This was a tactic used by the Ottomans to ensure compliance in the Balkans amongst local rulers there.

Vlad was repeatedly raped by the Sultan before he was returned to Transylvania. That is precisely why he held a deep rage and thirst for vengeance and why he chose the method of impalement (through the rectum) on Turks captured.
