Information on Dracula's early years form 1428 to 1477 provided by
Prof. Matthew Baugh.

1428 Dracula's older brother Prince Mircea is born

1431 Dracula's father Vlad is inducted into the Order of the Dragon which is a Catholic order of knights. To acknowledge this honor, his supporters begin to refer to him as Vlad the Dragon, or Vlad Dracul. Later that year Vlad Dracula (Son of the Dragon) is born.

1435 Dracula's younger brother Radu the Handsome is born.

1436 Vlad Dracul becomes Voivode (Prince ) of Wallachia

1442 Vlad Dracul and his sons Radu and Vlad Dracula visit Gallipoli to pay tribute to the Ottoman Sultan Murad. The Sultan seizes them. Prince Mircea rules Wallachia in his fathers absence.

1443 Dracul is released, but his sons remain hostages.

1444 Dracul participates in an anti-Turkish crusade alongside the Hungarian John Hunyadi. Against expectations the Sultan allows Dracula and Radu to live.

1447 Radu succumbs to the Sultans heir Muhmed and becomes his minion and lover. In November Hunyadi forms an alliance with Vladislav II, a member of the Danesti clan who are Draculs enemies. Mircea is tortured and buried alive and Vlad is killed attempting to escape his capital city.

1448 Murad releases Dracula and gives him the support he needs to rule Wallachia as the Sultans minion. Dracula rules for two months, but is forced to flee the country when Hunyadi regains the advantage.

1449 Dracula spends several years living in Moldavia. (It is probably during this time that he spent his year studying the black arts in the Scolomance and first met Rasalom)

1451 Sultan Murad dies and is succeeded by the much more militant Mehmed.

1453 Mehmeds forces sack Constantinople, bringing the Byzantine Empire to an end.

1456 Fearing the Sultan will invade Hungary next, Hunyadi allows Dracula to come out of exile as his vassal. Dracula's knowledge of the Turks proves invaluable but Hunyadi dies of illness during the campaign. Dracula avenges himself on Vladislav II (now an ally of the Turks.) By August 22 Dracula is again Prince of Wallachia.

1457 At Easter Dracula seized all the nobles who collaborated in the death of his father and brother. The strong he presses into brutal forced labor in building the walls of Castle Dracula, the infirm he has impaled. This is Dracula's favorite form of execution and it earns him the name Vlad Tepes (Vlad the Impaler).

1458 Dracula consolidates his power by wholesale executions of nobles, towns or villages suspected of disloyalty.

1459 In his best known retributive action, Dracula sets up a table near the base of Timpu Hill and dines as he watches thousands of people impaled or otherwise tortured to death. He is said to have dipped his bread in the blood of his victims, believing it would give him vitality.

1460 Dracula responds to Pope Pius IIs call for a crusade. He also overcomes another rival for power named Dan III and personally beheads him.

1461 Dracula wins an impressive string of victories over the Turks.

1462 Sultan Mehmed and Radu the Handsome invade Wallachia with an army three times the size of Dracula's. Dracula fights a defensive war using scorched earth and guerilla tactics. On June 17, he leads a daring raid that almost succeeds in killing the Sultan. When Mehmeds army gives chase they run into a psychological warfare surprise. Dracula has set up a veritable forest of stakes on which he has impaled 20,000 prisoners. The Sultan eventually withdraws, having failed to capture Wallachia.

However Prince Radu incited the people and nobles to rebel against Dracula. They do and he is forced to flee to Hungaria, where he is promptly arrested by King Matthias and held for a number of years in a comfortable house arrest. Having no real power, Dracula amuses himself during these years by torturing and impaling mice and small birds. Radu becomes Prince of Wallachia with Mehmed's backing.

1475 Radu dies of syphilis. Dracula demonstrates that he is now loyal to Matthias be converting to Catholicism and marrying the Hungarian princess Ilona Szigali.

1476 Dracula is appointed one of the captains of an anti-Turkish crusade and uses his tactics of terror to reclaim Wallachia. By November he is again the region's ruler. One of his first actions is to hide a vast treasure in a river and have all laborers and other witnesses to this act impaled.

1476- Recorded death of Vlad Tepes. This is most likely merely the date upon
which the vampire faked his death. Vlad Tepes sells soul to demon (Possibly Rasalom from the Adversary series by F.PAUL WILSON) Becomes Dracula The Vampire. (Info from R.O.T.W. By Jeff Rovin.) Soon after he becomes a vampire, Dracula encounters Nimrod, who has been the reigning king of the vampires. Dracula destroys him, and takes his rule.

1477 A headless body, identified as Dracula's, is found in the marshes near the Snagov Monastery. A head, said to be Dracula's is taken to Constantinople by Turkish agents and displayed on a pike. The body is interred in the Monastery, but modern archaeologists have never been able to find it. It is said that a huge windstorm follows the interment which topples a significant part of the Monastery into Snagov Lake.
 
 

1570- Dracula begins plan to rule the world, He creates soul clones by exchanging blood with a human and putting his own psyche and powers into him (as seen in Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires) Dracula sends a clone to the Mayans and Aztecs in Central America. Dracula's clone creates tribe of Aztec Vampire women, and transforms a British explorer, named Rex Rufus, into a werewolf. Thus begins his reign of terror of Mexico.

Felicia born to Victor Frankenstein II,  and a woman whose identity is not known at this

    To protect them, Victor II sends his oldest children Victor III and Victoria Marie, to live at the Frankenstein estate in Geneva, with Baron William Frankenstein, and his son Alphonse Victor. Felicia however, will grow up in New York, near her father, under the last name Saville. There seems to be evidence that Victor II, lavished more love and attention, on his daughter Felicia, then his elder children. Perhaps that is why he made no mention of her in his journals, in case his fathers creation, should find out of her existence, and continue his crusade of vengeance, on the Frankenstein family. That he might have been neglectful, of Victor III and Victoria Marie, is evidenced, by their uncaring actions, toward humanity, in their adult lives.

He decides to live there.
    Victor III uses Alphonse Victors, departure to manipulate, the Baron, to adopt him as his son, and to bequeath upon him the future title of Baron. He also convinces the Baron to send Victoria Marie, to an exclusive boarding school in Vienna. Apparently
Victor III discovered the dark heritage of  his family, and became obsessed with the secrets of life and death. His sister, Victoria Marie developed this same passion, but she refused to be her brothers mere helper, which annoyed Victor III, so he convinces the Baron to send Victoria Marie, to an exclusive boarding school in Vienna.

1945- Larry Talbot marries Miliza, and they live happily for 2 months, till his lycanthrope returns and he kills her, at least according to official reports. New information obtained by Prof. Baugh and myself reveals that Miliza was not killed, though Talbot believed she was.
New findings show that the wedding of Lawrence Stewart Talbot and Miliza Morelle was
attended by Melava Blasco, one of the few people Talbot considered a true friend. Melava, heightened senses told her that not only was Talbot, not permanently cured, but that Miliza was pregnant. Melava, planned ahead, for the night when she knew
Talbot would once again revert to his beast like state, and secreted Miliza away, to safety. Talbot was lead to believe that he had killed Miliza, so that he would not go searching for her.

1946- Birth of John  Lawrence Talbot , son of Lawrence Stewart Talbot and Miliza Morelle.
 After being taken to a safe place, Miliza is comforted by Baron Ivor Russoff, a kind man introduced to her by Malava . The two marry and Baron Russoff  adopts John Lawrence.

 A month or so later,  Lawrence Stewart Talbot, in Werewolf form, is near the home of Baron Russoff.  The Wolfman catches the scent of his former wife, in her bed room, he crashes through her window, and mates with her, purely through instinct.
(wolves choose one mate for life) whether or not the Wolfman would have killed Miliza is unknown, because as soon as the  seed was planted, Baron Russoff entered the room with a rifle, firing at the man-beast. The Wolfman leaped out of the window, fleeing to the woods beyond. When Talbot awoke the next morning human once more, he of course had no
memory of the event. Talbot at the time was on the trail of Dracula, who was near by, so it is quite possible that the Lord of the undead himself, manipulated these events.

18 months after the birth of her older brother, John Lawrence, Melissa Lissa) Russoff is
born. She is the daughter of Miliza Russoff and Lawrence Stewart Talbot.

 At Melava's suggestion Baron Russoff moves his wife and two adopted children, to the
U.S In the States  Russoff changes his last name to Russell. During childhood young John Lawrence becomes attached to the family dog His young mind is impressed that the breed name (Jack Russell Terrier) is similar to
his own and starts calling himself "Jack";

Melissa (Lissa) Russell is born about 18 months or so later (I forget the
difference in their ages.)  Russoff adopts Jack but Miliza insists on
keeping Talbot as his middle name, so he is legally Larry Talbot Russoff.
When the family moves to the US the name is Americanized to Russell.
