Dracula, known through his historical counterpart Vlad III "Tepes" Basarab and his fictional vampiric existence, experienced two significant "deaths" at different ages.
The Age of Vlad III (Human Death)
Count Dracula's initial human life concluded with the death of Vlad III. He was born on November 8, 1431, and died on December 14, 1476.
At the time of his human death, Vlad III was:
- 45 years, 1 month, and 6 days old.
The Age of Dracula (Vampiric Death)
In his immortal, vampiric form, Dracula's "birth" (or transformation) is often considered to have occurred around the time of Vlad III's death on December 14, 1476. The character Dracula is famously depicted as being defeated and killed on November 6, 1893.
Based on this vampiric lifespan, Dracula was approximately:
- 416 years, 10 months, and 23 days old.
Summary of Dracula's Ages at Death
To provide a clear overview of Dracula's ages at his various significant demises:
Identity | Birth Date | Death Date | Age at Death | Cause of Death |
---|---|---|---|---|
Vlad III | November 8, 1431 | December 14, 1476 | 45 years, 1 month, 6 days | Beheaded (1476) |
Dracula | December 14, 1476* | November 6, 1893 | 416 years, 10 months, 23 days | Heart Stabbed (1893) |
Note: December 14, 1476, marks the transition from Vlad III's human life to Dracula's vampiric existence in many interpretations, serving as a symbolic "birth" date for the immortal character.
While appearing physically much younger, often around 45 years old, Dracula's true age as an undead entity spanned centuries.
