I know you watched the same behind the bastards episode... But basically all of Romania, the people behind these, used it as the devil meaning. Yes the word might have medieval origins, but what Robert overlooked is when the stories actually began being formed.
Yes exactly! But at least he did mention rabies, and Balkan legends involving werewolves, even if only in passing.
Tbh I think there are so many facets to the "vampire" and associated legends that anyone can be forgiven for not comprehensively covering all of them - particularly with how they've been blended together over the last century or so. The podcast is meant to be about specific bastard people, after all.
I don't imply to be an expert. But all the information I got was from the first paragraph of vlad the impaler and vlad II Dracul.
It is interesting that in Romania it's a synonym for devil. That's metal.
But about the midieval origins, Vlad the Impaler is from the actual middle ages. As is his father. So I would assume the midieval origins are "the Dragon" or "Son of the Dragon". Any other origins might be influenced by Vlad II or Vlad the impaler.
They might have been: Vlad Bad, Dragon = devil. And it stuck. But I don't know. I'm not a historian.
