The St. Gall Dracula Manuscript - 1500.

The Library Of St. Gallen, Switzerland. 

St. Gallen, Stiftsbibliothek, Codice Sang. 806, p283 to p288.

This is another collection of stories concerning Vlad III Dracula that have emanated from the Michael Beheim poem of 1463 through the Dracole Waida of 1488 and into this work from 1500, I present this translation as an act of completion. It is not a total translation but the best I could achieve, it will certainly give you the gist of the original, which is housed in the St. Gallen Library in Switzerland.

King Caspar of Hungary sent old Daniel to the land of the Turks, and he had him say that he should bring him the Turk's tribute, which he had formerly promised to give every year.

Then Daniel went to the Turks and brought the tribute and gave it. But the Turks were angry about this, and they wished to seize the land of Wallachia.

And there was a lord named Dracula, who sat in that land as prince.

Then they began to quarrel with him and seized some of his people. But Dracula caused them to be seized again and punished.

Then they came again with an army and wanted to drive him out of the land. But he resisted them bravely and did them much harm.

Then the Turks marched into Wallachia with a great host. Dracula had his people withdrew into the forests and mountains and left the country empty.

Thus the Turks came into the land and found nothing to take. They burned villages and took prisoners wherever they could find them.

But Dracula followed them continually with his men and attacked them, often by night.

And he caused great fear among them, so that they did not know where they were safe. Then he set traps for them in the roads and in the woods. 

And many Turks were taken and impaled. He also caused many of them to be burned and others to be flayed.

And he did many strange things in order to frighten the Turks.
