Vlad Tepes Dracula - A Portrait in Words

 

"Vlad was not very tall, but very stocky and strong, with a cold and terrible appearance, a strong and aquiline nose, swollen nostrils, a thin and reddish face in which the very long eyelashes framed large wide-open green eyes; the bushy black eyebrows made them appear threatening. His face and chin were shaven but for a moustache. The swollen temples increased the bulk of his head. A bull's neck connected [with] his head from which black curly locks hung on his wide-shouldered person."

Nicholas of Modruš

(Pope's representative at the courts of King Stephen Tomašević of Bosnia and King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary)
